There wasn't a 10

on the plus side I had perfected the art of napping in class without the teacher noticing.

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. 

[Polly]

Status quo?? That's a group innit?

[SteveO]

I managed to find a bad one that taught Latin.

cheers

Polly, at least we can all tell when you're going to be predictable. :)

 

Edited to add that my smiley still comes up as typed :(

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.

My school was rough they didnt like Latin,  we got detention if we were Late in

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...

2 primary and 3 secondary school s in  3 educational systems, northern Ireland, England and Scotland. Make for a confused education...

'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.
