We used to be told that school days were the best days of our lives. For some of us the answer to that remark was a definite NO and rebbonk your comment sums it up nicely....
"Can't say I miss school at all and I've never been tempted to go back for a reunion."
My sentiments exactly. If I was interested in a subject I gave it full attention but if the subject was maths beyond the basics and you start turning them into what looks like Egyptian hieroglyphics then my brain switched off from it and went on excursions out of the window until dragged back by the sound of a piece of chalk making a landing. Along with my sister my parents didn't believe you needed to educate girls beyond age 15 because they would finish up getting married and all that money would be wasted. At 15 I was off to work and to be honest, was a lot happier doing that that having a teacher try and drum hieroglyphics into a brain that wasn't interested. I continued my education in the School of Life and I am still learning!
