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

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

I never saw the inside of the classrooms

The binary System

Latin Mythology - which has only been useful for crosswords!! I asked the teacher one day what good would Latin Mythology be to me when I left school -she went ballistic and asked me what did I keep in that curly head of mine!!!!

I learned how to drink alcohol surrepticiously in class.

My mate used to go home to dinner.We would divvy up in the morning and,on her way home from dinner,she would pop in the off licence.They would always ask if it was for her mum who they must have thought was a raving alcoholic as she was getting through several bottles of cider a day.

I also learned how to be expelled!

AH!!!

do you know that the elements of a tv/radio aerial are spaced logarithmically?

No mention of any one of the myriad of Shakespeare plays a lot of us were forced to take. Historical dates; type of thing.

Happy days

Oh Mel--you could have finished my cookery apron whilst you were standing there!x--I was always standing outside the classroom,don't know why !
Mm --yes I do recollect a few moments...........

I learnt your a long time under the clock if the head teacher 4gets bout you !!!! ~ 5 years was past a joke

I erm wasnt allowed in lessons

Lol Colin.........in Physics we learned to get out of the class room fast and in an orderly manner when the teacher nearly gassed up all with something or other dropped in a vat of water......now that WAS fun.........lol

Metalwork = 2 years and a bottle opener that wouldnt open bottles

Woodwork = 2 years and half a toast rack and an awful lot of firewood

Maths = 5 years of sheer misery

Fisics = 2 years and couldnt even spell it let alone do it

Bad breath and Latin sounds even more torturous than bad breath and maths..........lol

I made and embroidered a kettle holder.

My maths teacher had the most appalling breath...even if any of us kids wanted or needed help we didn't dare put our hands up , as he would get close and breath directly on you.........poor man.

logarithms ... the same,i remember my teacher going over them again and again,then saying *do you understand now * I would say yes..............no.
If she could have got away with it she would happily strangled me

fractions for me

The most useless thing I learned in school-age 11 was that I'd 'overpinned 'my cookery apron in needlework class!!!!
Pins must have been expensive in 1961!
