As it says in the title (the poll might elucidate it more).

As far as “me, myself and I” goes I was pretty badly-behaved and lazy in Year 9 (I think a lot of people pissed around the year before starting their G.C.S.E.s, as a final swang-song of naughtiness and whatnot) and wasn’t exactly the most organised throughout my time in school generally (except for Year 10) but before and after that I was generally one of the better students in all senses. Probably too flakey with organisation (except when I wasn’t) to be a truly model student but for the most part I was just one of the good ones, really. If Year 9 didn’t count and I was a bit more consistent with handing things in on time and stuff I would’ve been closer to model.
And y’all?

Okay-ish but not brilliant. Just a normal/average student in that sense

I was an angel the first two years, then a nightmare.
I smoked, was cheeky, set the fire alarm off so school got evacuated (had to go to Fire Station to apologise and get bollocked), was regularly stoned, got arrested and was in cells when I should have been sitting a GCSE, regulalry skipped etc.

My poor parents

Well compared to Annie I was a puritan

I was quite troublesome years 9-11, nothing serious but I would act the clown a lot, mess around and be deliberately provocative on any serious issue. Sixth form really calmed me down because a lot of the dickheads left and the teachers treated you with more respect

[Redway]

I think when I got to Year 9 I just wanted to push boundaries and release a bit of steam before the academic going got more serious (key stage four). Even at my loudest there’s still a certain quiet reserve about me (normally anyway) and I’ve always been like that so I wasn’t out-and-out disruptive like that but I did form a certain clown-trio that year and made it a duty to find something to laugh about in every lesson but like I say all that funny nonsense was just one year. Before and after I was pretty good. I don’t regret Year 9 banter one bit because it was just a bit of early-teenaged fun.
English was always my natural strongest point but my teacher didn’t see the real good me on that front until Year 10 and we had a good teacher-student relationship so that was a nice interpersonal blossom.

In our schools

it is:

Primary 1 to Primary 7

Secondary - First year to Sixth years

[Redway]

Year 7 is a very weird year to be in at English schools. You’re in high school but you’re still not a teenager.

That’s what it WAS down here in the Seventies

I definitely weren't the model student, but I never really gave Teachers grief either.

Errrmmmm I was in top classes/high-performing and well behaved in class, never once had a bad report, but not so well behaved out of sight of teachers The best way to be, obviously.

[rusticgal]

Average student academically….but a well behaved student and well respected..

We had a drop dead gorgeous English teacher who looked like Alexandra Bastedo from the Champions.. sadly she was caught sha**ing a scruffy looking Geog teacher in the humanities storeroom and they were both ‘moved’ on .. it was a well to do grammar school so I suppose they had no choice .. shame as her lessons were mesmerising

we had the Lochgelly Tawse made in Fife

it made 95% of children cry even with one of the best, never mind 6



I sell them now for hundreds of quid, when i can get them, to the BDSM community

[AnnieK]

We had a teacher in primary who used to give what we called the "shakeymakey" where she would grab your shoulders and shake you whilst shouting, she also used the slipper and used to give the naughty boy in our class a whack in a morning in case he thought about playing up. She had to retire when they stopped corporal punishment as she was a successful teacher through fear

Average. Very talkative though, as one glance at any old school report will tell you.

[Alf]

I rarely attended but when I did attend I was a little bastard. I got my education from Only fools and horses.
