[Petershaw1984]

did you like your school? after i left school they closed the building down and it got pretty derelict and fire damaged they then knocked it down and a load of gypsies movedonto the site. it was a really sad day when the school was knocked down.


what was yours like?

[SharkAttack]

Hated school until University. Both schools before that are still thriving and have added on since. Sorry to hear about your school being knocked down PS. :(

[Jesus.]

My school was actually a really nice place that dates back to the 16th century, and has international students and some domestic boarders attending, so it was always a really nice mix of different people.

[Gstar]

My school/academy was nice but had some vile students and teachers.

[Gstar]

And I was very naughty

[AnnieK]

My school was a really nice old building - all beams and oak panelling....went back a couple of years ago for a reunion and it was great to see the place and appreciate it without thinking it was a prison....the boys school was across the road and was a newer building....and pretty grim...

[Kizzy]

My schoolwas knocked down too :(
It was a fun time they didn't pressure you, I had a right laugh...didn't get any qualifications like, but had a laugh ;)

[King Gizzard]

my school was on a documentary/entertainment show (rock school)

they made it out to be pretty bad, but it was alright, i liked it

after I left they changed the school system here though and made it into an academy

[lostalex]

It would take way longer then i'm willing to spend tonight to tell you about my school experience.

It is a good story though.

At the time when i went there, my school was rated one of the top 5 public schools in America. And my county was the richest county in the country.

That was during the 90's though. LONG time ago. My school is not just a story, it's a series of stories... lol

[Ammi]

..my school was ok, it was very Catholic..(and strict)...and it was frowned upon to talk to kids from the less Catholic scool, which wasn't far away..I didn't love my schooldays but I didn't hate them either...I had a nice group of friends....

[Kizzy]

Ammi that's awful! fancy being influenced who you can and can't speak to! :(

[Omah]

My Primary School was, I kid you not, called "Paradise", not far from "Eden Street" and a pub called the "Adam & Eve" ..... :pipe:

[Joseline]

Don't really know, only went a few times.

[Ammi]

..I take it you didn't like those few times Joseline..was it really horrible or did you just prefer to do other things..?...

[lostalex]

does it make me sound really gay if i say "ohhh guuurl, i gots some stories to tell!" ?

[Joseline]

..I take it you didn't like those few times Joseline..was it really horrible or did you just prefer to do other things..?...

Nah, I just had better things to do.

[LemonJam]

The school itself was alright. The teachers were generally a bit unenthusiastic. The students though on the whole were just nasty. Not disruptive in classes or anything like that, but were just generally mean-spirited people. Smart, pretty rich kids. -.-

[Marcus.]

My high school was knocked down too

it was ok

[Ammi]

does it make me sound really gay if i say "ohhh guuurl, i gots some stories to tell!" ?

..no, just please tell them Alex.....hang on, I'll get a coffee and make myself comfortable.....



...ok, I'm ready...please continue...:wink:

[Ammi]

Nah, I just had better things to do.

..ahh, ok Joseline....well, I guess lots of great people didn't go to school either....so you're not alone there....

[Withano]

Ofsted called it excellent, I thought it was average at best

[Saph]

My school wasn't that bad I guess.. I just felt very unmotivated throughout my whole school experience and I sort of gave up in Year 11 and ended up not doing my best in my GCSEs.

I loved primary school though :love:

interesting fact - i started school in the millennium year and was in each year depending on what year it was (eg year 5 in 2005, year 8 in 2008 etc) :worship:

[Vanessa]

It was ok. I think the buildings are still there.

[smeagol]

i had lots of schools the main one i checked on the net a few years ago and found out it was one of the worst schools in england and parliement even debated shutting it down lol. which they did eventually.
funny i knew it was bad the teachers were worst than the pupils you name it they done it

You're 13?!?! :shocked:

[bbfan1991]

An old building which was in a need of refurbishing and resources e.g. equipment, which ironically happened the year after I left:joker:.

I was a swot because I wanted to do well for myself and some people used to get at me calling me names etc, although now some of these people regret messing around:D.

I believe that people will only learn at School if they want to!

[Munchkins]

Brilliant school, which helped me get amazing grades! loved it, and miss it, (only left in May)

[Redway]

You're 13?!?! :shocked:

Year 8 is equivalent to 12/13 years old, so if that was in 2008 she'd be in Year 13 now (17/18).

[Me. I Am Salman]

she's 18

[LemonJam]

oh fail for some reason I thought she meant her age correlated with the year.

nevermind~

[King Gizzard]

always thought she was 93 myself

[Saph]

I'm 58 if you must know. I'm just trying to be down with you kids and all your technology and what not.

[MTVN]

Quite liked both my schools, primary school was tiny and had less than 40 kids in total but that gave it a certain charm, had a couple of bad years in secondary school but got much better in sixth form, easily my favourite 2 years in education

[Me. I Am Salman]

40 kids? :joker:

[MTVN]

That numbers actually decreased since I left as well :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

There were 400 kids at mine but it still felt tiny

[Ammi]

..I think a lot of people feel tiny at school sometimes Salman...:sad:

[Ramsay]

A ****hole

[Harry!]

My secondary school building was a fairly modern building built in 2000.
