What do you remember from school?

Question

physics lesson

Answer 1

I remember having a long piece of glass thread in my hair (fibre-optic cable) that the stupid teacher managed to lodge in me.He told me to keep still because if it went in my eye he'd blind me.The whole classroom went deadly silent.I hated those lessons.

Answer 2

I remember when I had to sing solo in the school Eisteddfod on St David's Day when I was about 13. I'd only entered the competition for a dare, and to wind my friends up, not thinking for a minute I'd even get through the first round never mind into the final. I was horrified and tried everything to wriggle out of it, dreaded it for weeks. Never felt so scared in my life and mortified with embarrassment. I ended up coming 2nd place, the girl who won had been having singing coaching for years. Should have been very proud but I knew my friends would wind me up forever and I wouldn't live it down for years, if ever, and they did! Never entered into a competition or sang in public ever again and I could curdle the milk with my awful voice now. That'll teach me!

Answer 3

Believe it or not--the school dinner's!! I loved them, although i am going back roughly 35 years now, it was 'proper food' in them day's--'proper' main meals--(with 'seconds')--'proper' pudding's--(again, with 'seconds'...IF you could manage it!!) water jug's on the tables, milk at first break--aahhh, kid's today have no idea! Also--'hands on maths'--at a boarding school i went to, our maths teacher used to take the class out to the shops--(very few 'supermarkets!)--and show us how to buy the goods, add it all up, sort the money out, check the change, then after a period of time, she used to give US a list of the item's she wanted, give US the money to buy the items, and let US check the change and bring it all back to her--aahhh, those were the day's...'proper' school work!! I also remember the downsides too...the cane across the knuckles, the belt--'lines', 'essay's' and 'proper' discipline--(remember that?!)--so sorry to have rambled on!

Answer 4

Well, generally I think that most of the things learned are pushed into the unconscious part of our lives - like what Freud talked about. It kind of seems that we spend as much time sleeping as we do in school, so I think the educational process is very influential.

Usually things like gravity, or say speed are not something you think about every day, and neither do you think about them when you fall or are in a hurry, but what was said about them at school may have an influence on our behavior, or how we think and talk about it.

Answer 5

The TUCK SHOP - not a shop at all but a teacher standing behind an open classroom window and the big shove to try to get to the front before the "end of break" bell went - I am harping back to the days of Wagon Wheels (when they we're enormous) Golden Wonder crisps, Curlywhurly's and such.......and you we're deemed one of the richer kids at school if you had 20p to spend !

Answer 6

Well this is difficult to answer straight.

I remember lots of things when I need to such as when in certain situations I remember how I interacted with people and think of the best way to resolve them when at quiz I remember ( sometimes) the answer or something connected with the answer- usually it has come from school- so i remember a lot from school :-)

Answer 7

The smelly little tuck shop that was stuck right down the end of the corridor next to the boys loo's. YUK.
Also the assemblies in the grand hall, we spent the whole morning pulling the fluff out the end of our ties and balancing it on the girl in fronts head without her noticing! CLASSIC

Answer 8

Lots of things...but for some reason I go back to when I could only have been about 7or 8 yrs old and sat behind an old wooden desk doing the times tables out loud..
We did that sort of thing many years ago.....don't know why it sticks in my mind, but you did ask.

Answer 9

I remember hating every minute of school especially science, and at the age of 57 I have yet to find anything I learnt to have been of use in life.

Answer 10

I remember being humiliated by a teacher when i was 8 years old (i'm in my 40's now), she made me stand in front of the class with a pointy stick to do a sum, i couldn't do it, and just stuttered and stammered, i looked at her, i looked at the class looking at me, i went bright red, then she took the stick off me and told me i wasn't as good as my brother who was a year above me. I still hate being made the centre of attention and i used to wish as an adult, that i would bump into her one day!!
