I didn't like school much espech secondary because it was a huge school and I was bullied a lot
Primary school was ok at first because I went to a really small school which was actually an old building
This was it
It's since been turned in to flats sadly :(
My secondary school was monstrous lol XD I hated it from start to finish.
I enjoyed learning but I would have preferred doing it from home :)
Sometimes I miss school but mostly its bad memories.
In the hall at my first school we did a Christmas show and sang silent night together my mum has it on video it's a strange video because I'm only small and don't really look like me now.
Ben said:Oh yes, you were not aloud to write with your left hand in the fifties. Happily I'm right handed, but what a stupid rule that was.
'Throughout human history left-handedness has been considered as sinful. It has been associated with the devil, weakness, female gender, unhealthiness, evil, something that has to be turned to a "good"--right side by force'.

This is why they were so strict about it in the Catholic school my work mate went to: it's on religious grounds.
I should add that I was at infant school in the late fiftes and, happily, that was the tail end of it all.

...and now I'm wondering what teacher would have said had she seen my spelling of 'allowed' in the text of my previous post quoted by Debbie. Oh dear......
