Were you good or naughty. I was a bit of both to be honest god knows how I ever passed my GCE'S. I was a prefect and ran the tuck shop-in maths I use to put yesterday's date on todays work and the teacher would say well done!!!! I remember we had to back our books in wallpaper there was glue on the side in the classroom, we use make sure Mrs Rose was busy then put glue on the door handle- I loved my school days-My mum always said they will be the best days of your life. catherine xx |

i hated my school days, never settled in one long enough to make many friends, as dad was always moving us around. So I was bullied most of the time, first as the new girl, then for having curly hair, then for crying easily. That is until about the 2nd year at secondary, then I started fighting back. Only had to do it twice, and it stopped. Then became a bit of a rebel, refusing to be bullied into doing anything I didn't want to do. |

I was a Goody and also a swat - I couldn't learn enough!!! Throughout Primary I never had a single day off school and received a perfect attendance prize every year. Boring I suppose but hey-ho! Like you TW, I was also bullied then one day I too fought back - it never happened again! The quiet ones always surprise you! |

lol Mo That's why my mum sent me to an all girls school I reckon. Good for you TW Woody-I was a swat too but I was still naughty- no more mischievious. Cos I ran the school tuck shop we had a maths lesson before break and after, just before break we would see thw KP van coming down and say to our teacher, we got to leave now Mrs Rose to set the tuck shop up-she was ok with that. Once having loaded the huge amounts of chrisp boxes into the shop, door being closed we would down 5 packets each, then open the shop some of our friends would turn up and pretend to hand us 10p over and we in exchange for no money would give em a free packet of chrisps Lord knows how it ever made a profit- I remember having about 30 packets of chrisps in my locker along with mini cookies. Oh and we would go back to maths class and say to Mrs Rose-We have been working in the shop all break and had no snack, so she would allow us to scoff more with all our friends looking on saying'give us a chrisp' catherine xx |

That was teacher-speak for 'hope I don't have to intervene' I think - it certainly didn't work anyway. Dragging the main offender by the hair to the toilets, shoving her head down the loo and flushing - now that worked!! Didn't get in trouble either although the teachers all knew about it. |

I loved primary school and the first couple of years at secondary school and then it all changed. I'd passed my 11+ and got into the 'A' set of the grammar school. Unfortunately, they then expected us to be 'academic'. I loved music, art and drama but had no encouragement whatsoever, even when I passed my Grade 8 piano at 16. This led to me becoming very disillusioned and I couldn't wait to get away. I joined the Civil Service, did typing at evening classes and became a PA. I also taught piano lessons privately for a few years. I don't have any regrets because I loved my career, and spent my last few years as a School Administrator. I do have regrets over the unhappiness I suffered during my last few years of education though. Mandy :) |

How odd this question, only today my dad gave me my old secondry school reports out of the loft hes moving soon. well my first from sec age 11 was exactley what i was like a complete chatterbox much better at talking than writing most of it says 'if only she applied mors care in her work as she does in talking she would do so much better!' but my best subject at school was english (oral) and history. on most of the comments it says less talking and more work!
