We had a tennis teacher who everyone (except me) was a little bit in love with (it's a girls school thing ) .
He wore aviator shades and a sunshade.
He was always tanned from being out in the sun all day doing tennis.
So when he blinked, you could see his eyelids were white.
I used to crease up with giggling at that.

Are boys at single sex schools constantly on the horn?
One assumes they must be.
All the boys in the opposing school to mine seemed only interested in throwing our boaters (yes) out the bus windows or hogging the pinball machine in the chip shop.
All the girls in my school were constantly on the case about boys.
I found them vaguely entertaining, but none of the (occasional) male teachers (or priests! ) were of the least sexual interest to me. I found my diversions outside of school
We had a science teacher who was ancient, I am sure they employed him simply to keep the girls at bay, but when they discovered he was too old to flirt with (and I mean OLD, like he must have been 70 if he was a day), then they argued with him instead, proper bitches they were. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

I can't remember what I did instead.
I'm a decent cook on the hob but I've never been comfortable using an oven.
If i'd done the class then maybe I'd have been a bit more confident with using it...
I hated RE but we did have a laugh.
I'm pretty sure the teacher was past retirement age, had poor hearing, was bad with names, a squint and an arthritic index finger (seriously!).
When he had a go at you it looked like he was looking at the person to your left but his finger pointed at the person to your right.
We taunted him rotten, but I guess we were just testing his faith in his imaginary friend...

You had to do a 'technology' based subject for GCSEs when I was at School, vague memory of that cnut Blair making that rule up. Anyhow CDT and woodwork classes filled up so the head of my year thought it hilarious to tell me loudly in front of the class I was in that I WOULD HAVE TO DO FOOD TECHNOLOGY as punishment for returning my options form on the deadline day.
He ceased looking quite so smug when I asked him to explain in front of the class how putting a 15 year old lad in a class of 20 odd schoolgirls was meant to be punishment.
Got to finger bang one of the lasses from Food Tech to boot. |

Oh God, yes! Had a bit of a laugh sometimes though, sneaking off from cross country runs to my mate's house for a cuppa, turning a rugby match with another local school into a complete punch-up cos we were hopelessly losing etc
Actually, everything we covered in Geography has been pretty much useless to me since leaving school, but I enjoyed at least the physical geography part. And now, Earth sciences fascinate me. Might have been an alternative career path there somewhere if things had gone differently. |
I felt they only made us do it for humiliation purposes, every lesson the dunces were dunces until it came to heading a ball. I did like cross-country though, you'd start off surrounded by people and gradually see them drop off, must be the same cathartic experience mass murderers experience

I didn't think of that We had the option of graphic design which was interesting if a completely obsolete subject. |

The majority of it. It's a shame that school isn't based on more practical elements of real world leanings, like how money works or loans...taking out a mortgage, etc. my boy is starting out on his own and it's shocking how little he knows. He needs a good kick up the backside.

Schools should teach, English, Maths, First Aid, How to swim, Banking/mortgage/savings. How to read a utility bill, The highway code, How to drive, cooking, cleaning, basic DIY. The rest is all filler. ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

I stayed at school til I completed it.
I have used Science, Maths, suppose some English language because I can rite init and erm... well.
Woodwork, I was shite.
Electronics, didn't mind that, did A -level too.
Geography, unless I've been there or want to get there, norrarsed.
History, I remember slavery because we could use the word and some WW1 stuff because we watched Blackadder Goes Forth.
RE, because we had loads of muslims we got told how we need to respect all of the contradictory versions of a God that idiots believe.
PE, I was (am) gangly, ginger and asthmatic. I was (am) mega ...
Art, I don't do drawing. We'd get homework, a biography of an Artist that we had to re-write, in our own words ... wut? I was told off because I didn't do some drawings around the writing to make it artistic. fhook dat.
Cooking, got missus now. Prior to missus; pasta and tuna kept me alive. ____________________ I'm Sam; Northern, Ginger, Lover

In primary school in the 70's we learned to knit. I can honestly say that was the most useless thing I ever learned. If I ever find myself in a doomsday SHTF scenario, I'll have nice socks though.
French and German - Nope. Never used it since.
English Lit we had to read Jane Eyre FFS
Computers in the 80's. The only useful thing I learned in 2 years was programming the computers in WHSmith to do this:
10 PRINT "Fuck Off";
20 GOTO 10
