Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
I went to a girls' school in my teens with a tuck shop, lacrosse, hockey and strict uniform rules which we constantly tried to break. We were meant to behave as "young ladies" and having been a bit of a rebel at the start I was told to "pull my socks up" by the scary head of year at 13. It worked, I was suitably terrified into being a goody-goody. I'm just thankful that they did not make us take communal showers (the shower cubicles were there), The boys' school was across the road....Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
Loved infant/junior school, hated secondary school.Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
I can't remember much about my school days just the odd incidents, went to a secondary modern school and couldn't wait to leave. There were a couple of teachers who stood out, but I think I appreciate them more now than I did then. Would love to meet some of them now if they are still alive...Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
Apart from the odd bully and crap teacher my school daze were by and large pretty good. I have always had the impression that school in Australia was very different to that in the UK. Much more outdoors oriented. Although I guess this has changed a bit now. Being academically exceptional was never the "complete" success story generally speaking. You had to be good at sport as well to be a "complete" hero. I loved primary school and did very well. High school was OK. I went through the motions and passed everything but all I ever really thought about was girls, music and surfing. Every single day of the summer and most of the winter for that matter, we would high tail it to the beach straight after school and into it. If there was no surf we would sit around playing our guitars and wait for a swell. Sometimes the beach would win for the whole day and teachers would come hunting and round us up. I never really took academic life totally seriously until I went to University. And even then the beach was not too far away.Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
My primary school years were, to my mind, very enjoyable. I cannot recall any teachers who were not well liked and we even had a male teacher in my Primary 5 class ( I would have been 9 years old) which was a rare occurrence indeed at that time and in my area.Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
Didn't like school but some of the teachers were OK.Re: Schools Day's please tell us.
