Polly Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 There wasn't a 10 on the plus side I had perfected the art of napping in class without the teacher noticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I pointed out to a friend of mine that some years ago, schools could be divided into two catagories. The good ones (that taught Latin) and the "not so good" ones that didn't. Eventually the good ones stopped teaching Latin, just to restore the status quo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I tried to ditch Latin in favour of Spanish, but the head nun told my mum 'The Holy Father likes our girls to learn Latin' which even Mum thought was bonkers. The naps were my protest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 My school was rough they didnt like Latin, we got detention if we were Late in 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I loved my school. It was decidedly rough in parts, but gave me so many opportunities to stretch myself. I've since found it was the largest comprehensive at the time (70s) but at least it gave me the opportunity to move from being streamed as CSE grade upwards ( bit of a late starter). I've also read somewhere that it was one of the first comprehensive schools in the country, maybe why it didn't feel odd. I don't think I would have gone to University if I'd been in a County that had grammar/secondary schools. Just one person's experience...

Polly Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 'Choice' Q, 'choice'! Do pay attention at the back there! You can choose from a range of underfunded options, or no, maybe you can't, it rather depends on your postcode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
