I never saw the inside of the classrooms

A spatula in wood work...only ever went in 3 lessons knew it wasn't for me..

I loved logs,algerbra and all things maths and some are of use. I loved woodwork because I could. The most useless to me was geography even though I past an O level

hayley I loved woodwork had to fight to be allowed to do it rather then sewing

when I look back, History and Geography should have been the most exciting things in the world to learn about, but were they? They were not

Aof GG no I hated them at the time but now I wish I had spent more time in history

Uzzi thats my biggest regrett never learnt to sew..

The Duke of Windsor's names were Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David.

If ever a piece of knowledge held me in good stead for life.

Latin - I bunked off most lessons and was always told it was a valuable lesson ...... I can say I have never said to myself - Damn I wish had tried harder in Latin!

There are as many molecules in a grain of sand, as there are grains of sand on a beach.

My contribution to science.

lol Von

Simultaneous equations!

What was the point? Not exactly useful for every day.

Long multiplication. I even had to teach that but I bet those I taught use a calculator just like me now!

Netball. Oh how I hated netball. Almost as much as hockey LOL. Boring.......... and taller girls always got picked first for the teams. When I was lucky I got to hand round the orange segments at half time for school matches.

Dont start on Netball Sue ...Oooh I shudder at the thought. My eldest sis was netball champ ...so later on when I came along being a beanpole and a foot taller than the rest of my class and lanky all the teachers thought I was the next netball queen!!

Prob is throw a ball at me and I run in the opposite direction - still do!!

Oh how I hated netball!!

ITA - wasn't even the english alphabet


wonder if in years to come children of today will say phonics ?

The most useless things I learned....at school...

How to do lines...never had to do them since...

How to stand in the corner with my face in it!!!.....never had to do it since....

How to run through a freezing cold shower, after games....never had to do it since..

Hockey>>>>>>>>>runs off looking behind still visualizing the sticks behind chasing me...

I was picked as a reserve for the house hockey team... god knows why cause I couldn't play for toffee lol. 3/4's through the game thinking nah not gonna play-brill, one of my teammates gets a wallop on the back and crashes to the deck... have a guess who has to come on in her place...ME. The ref couldn't understand why when the ball came near me I ran the opposite way... no bleeding way was I gonna get battered with them sticks cause they hurt.

Still can't play hockey...

Oh how I loved netball!! lol........goalkeeper for school team, three years running....and we won the cup & shields! not that i'm bragging like ;o) *polishes fingernails on lapel lol

Now science was another matter! couldn't fathom it at all.......a complete dunce in those lessons. :o(

Nice to see you Harry......... school days were happy days for me!

Anything taught after Primary school!!
There I had a love of learning.
Once I got into grammar school nothing had any sense!!
I learnt more doing 'voluntary work' that I set up for myself in a local institution to avoid PE, double games and RE!!!

I liked Science I had a good Science teacher she was my form tutor too ...... Cant remember her name but she was dead strict, I often wonder what happened to her.

I liked science teacher,Mrs.Storm,(who was also our form tutor) and Biology,but it was the 'smelly' experiments I was useless at,and could never remember names of elements etc!
