That Will Teach Em - What are your school memories?

All GCSE Geography teaches you is about poor people, aid, the third world, Japan, Italy and urban land use models.

I didn't know where Sheffield or Warwick were until I started my university search. I still have no idea where Manchester or Birmingham are in relation to each other. I could however, still name details of the Lynmouth Flood or the Golden Triangle of Brazil.

I also remember year six sex education which involved us watching a video of a robot from out of space who arrived in this boy's bedroom and asked him what puberty was! Anyone else remember that?

yep- we watched that, but i think it was in year 7, the one in year six was even weirder!
anyone else watch "words and pictures"?- tho i think thats possibly the pen with the red light- "round and up and down and flick!" what about books? roger red hat/billy blue hat/johnny yellow hat anyone?!
awww i miss little school!

and the books with the characters calle Biff and Chip and Wilma..i can't remember what the titles were...

Oh My GODDDD i remember the ones you are talking about, that takes me back all the way back to reception, oh the memories... normally im not nostalgic, partly cos i can never recall anything, but infant school was probably the most fun time ive ever had at school.. i even enjoyed reading back then

did anyone read those books on the pirates?.. i think one was called Roderick or something along those lines

the buccaneer ones? where the boy went through a mirror or window or something into as mad pirate world?

wow, i like these threads,

my 5 best memories are hilarious

1) my grade 6 teacher having siezures in class
2) mass escape from school, 20 kids leave our fenced in school
3) having a raven fly in our classroom dodging it as it flew over
4) having my little brother come to my school and kick my princaple in the balls

5) going on a class camping trip for 5 days

I have to say, you really let us down with the last one

i got A* in geog GCSE, been to sheffield, but if you give me a map of GB, i wouldnt have a clue where it is, other than it is within a 4 hour drive somewhere north of london.

Following on from the Channel 4 program do any of you remember the following about primary school?

1) Singing hymms assemblies
2) Drinking milk at break time
3) Watching those silly school programmes
4) Having to what the teacher tells you to do

How much has changed? I started secondary school in 1993 so I doubt much as change in that respect apart from more modern technology such as better I.T suites.

I am interested in finding out how much school has changed since I started if any has at all.

When I was in primary school at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Alice Springs, I remember my friends and I used to pretend that we were caught up in some conspiracy to destroy the world. There was this bad guy called Ross who looked like the weather man and get this, not only was Ross a serial villain, but Ross could turn into a rabbit!

We knew what Ross was up to, and he followed us to make sure we didnt tell anyone. Then Sarah went back to Port Morsbey for a visit and she said she saw Ross there, he turned from a man into a rabbit and hopped away. Then Rachel went to Melbourne and saw Ross there. And I saw Ross in the Whitsundays!

Oh my god we were a crazy bunch of kids.

and the books with the characters calle Biff and Chip and Wilma..i can't remember what the titles were...
