I'm at Grammar now ...sat the 11 plus at 10  and I was the youngest in my year all the way through ...GCE at 15 and A level at 17

I left school in 1963....and started work  

😂we called you a wage slave 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I had sat my o levels ....and started work in the bank at £3 a week ....half of which I had to give to my mum and dad for my board 

My parents eventually forced me into finance when I got fed up with dancing😂

I wanted to be a librarian but that wasn't good enough apparently

I wanted to be a librarian too .......or an archivist ....took me til my 40s to realise that dream 

How odd, we both had the same aspirations....I went to Uni in my forties😂

Gawd I hated that bliddy horse!

I was useless at sport ....in fact I was useless at anything practical 

I hated PE. Was able to drop it for Drama when I was 16 

I was a fast runner,so on the athletics team...and because I was fast and handy with a weapon,on the school hockey team as well

I played hockey and netball and was okay at tennis but, I hated all of it.

Still can't get my head around how Television happens and the phone confuses me too..............

I’ve given up trying to work it out 

Me too, I am of the 'flick a switch and hope it works' generation...........

We didn’t have the cane in Scotland, we had the belt. 

We got the ruler 

Just detention at my school and flying board rubbers

I think those were universal

Too short for netball....could never manage to serve properly at tennis, and really hated PE

Takes off uniform, I have left school now (well then) and have entered the school of life....

 

Have now realised, a lot of life was so much better then, although I do like the ease of clicking a switch now..............

Tbh I think this is the decade that education went downhill 

I can confirm that, I lived it 

🤣🤣🤣Seriously logic says teaching kids of all abilities in the same class can only lead to dumbing down
