[Zesh Rehman]

A lot of people do say that about me

if your skiving of school then i do aswell

 

[Shegull]

Where's the option for skiving off down town with your mates

Loved History but the above was good as well. We used to skive off to the beach though.

 

[Rookie]

P.E. got to play football with my mates and generally take the piss for an hour and could watch the young ladies playing netball or hockey which was always good.

I want to go back to School

Not skiving off school Sam, I finished year 11 last May, although I did stop the abscence in the last 3 months.

Maths for me

 

[Blackadder]

History.

We didn't have IT lessons when I were a lad (and guess what I work in now).

 

[Napper]

pe , the rest was shit

 

[Dr Q]

er ... Geology!

Have voted for Geography. The nearest subject to Geology if namby-pamby geographers are to be believed!!!

 

[The Large One]

I was best at Maths, but History was my favourite - and the only 'O' Level I failed.

Anyhoo, what are all these subjects 'Social Education', 'Painting & Drawing', 'IT'? f*** sake, shouldn't they be better known under their real subjects - 'Teenage Mother Breast Feeding Studies', 'Crayon Skills' and 'Nerdy Zitwork'?

And where's the option for Home Economics - sorry, Domestic Science? With a burnt Shepherd's Pie (and it was Cottage Pie, you fat ugly nagbags), and soggy peanut cookies while trying to set the school on fire, you knew where you were.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I did like Art, but we were either taught by a trampy old teacher whose attitude to personal hygiene left a lot to be desired, or by student teachers who typically couldn't control a class and (at least one) who left with nervous breakdown.

Which kind of dampened my enthusiasm.

Maths - you knew where you were with maths as the answer was always right or wrong.

I started secondary school in the late 60s, I don't think our teachers could have spelled IT then.

 

[Buzzer]

At High School it was Maths but at Worthing Sixth Form, I had the legendary misogynist and welsh-hating international rugby ref, Roger Quittenton teach me Maths and Further Maths and he was just plain rude and nasty.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Where is Latin ?

Q taught me maths there too. Not quite sure how I passed A-level though.

Left behind 1200 years ago. It's just that the scholars won't acknoweldge it with their 'split infinitives' bollocks.

I did Latin at Stringer with a teacher who looked like he got dressed by being poured into his three-piece tweed outfit, and forgetting to say 'when'. He was f***ing enormous. And Latin was poo as well. 'Caecilius est pater' is as far as I got.

That sounds like Paul Watson; he taught me at Varndean. He was a great teacher, one of the best I had. I wouldn't have called Latin poo though, it was one of the few lessons I liked forward to.

Sadly, the fact that no-one has named any language is his/her favourite lesson suggests that the UK's reputation as a nation of monolinguists persists.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I have to admit i lost interest in Latin when i found out that 'Caesars armies are marching to meet our fleets' wasn't going to get me anywhere with Italian Students in the Top Rank Suite.

Crikey. We had a rather greasy haired lady with a B.O. problem and a student teacher who was dating one of the Levellers...

Except the greasy old hag had a nervous breakdown when she found a spoof Christmas card (that had been binned) offering her directions to the perfume counter at boots.

Was a toss up between Geography and Maths.
