I would never say boo to a goose. Now all the geese turn tail and run with much flapping of wings.

All through my early school years I was just an average behaved kid, but when I moved to grammar school I was a little s*d. It was a catholic school, and the thing I detested most was religion. so I rebelled.

Started school in 1945 and loved primary school and was always good at lessons, never in trouble, always in the top 3.. went to High school, one of the youngest in year, one of the smallest as well, a total mouse, got bullied a bit but didn't let it bother me so they gave up. Didn't do very well at High school, left with 2 O levels, couldn't keep up, grew to hate it and was glad to leave in 1956. went into the Civil service, loved the job, did well. Left had children, went to further education and got 2 A levels and 3 more O levels and GSCE economics, went back into the civil service and did even better. proved to myself that I wasn't thick.

I used to get fed up with some lessons and bunk school and go swimming, especially in the summer....but I still managed to pass all my exams.......and when I left school I carried on with further education at the local College whilst working......I love to learn, but found some f the lessons a bit boring.....

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!

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 :)
