Strange reply as most posters found something worthwhile. One man's meat etc....

None of this will mean absolutely anything to anyone reading this, (apart from myself of course), but . . .

Wyatt Road Infants School,
Kingston Road Primary School,
Matthew Arnold Secondary Modern School.

All in Staines 1961 through to 1972..

School was ok, neither hated it nor particularly liked it. All a bit "meh" as they say nowadays.

Did you not go to school?

Didn't go to school in this area, but went to a lovely primary school, a sadistic, violent middle school where the teachers would smack kids around with zero provocation, and a senior school and 6th form that if the name is Googled has many stories of abuse by teachers (mostly priests), some prosecutions since, but mostly no real consequences except life long damage to the victims. Safe to say I don't look back on school with any fondness at all.

It doesn't exist any more.

I haven't been near it since I left, and I don't intend getting any closer.

Hated school but wasn't like that at all. Patronising teachers that didn't give a shit was bad enough for me. School also not around here. Bunked off loads and generally didn't care. Left at Xmas right after I was 16 (possible in the 70s) and didn't go back so missed all my exams. 28 years later decided to go to college and did 3 years C&G Course which I liked as felt it was useful.

Started working at 12, paper rounds, small part time jobs and have carried on since. Been made redundant 2x but spent less than 2 weeks unemployed each time and worked continuously for the 42 years since I left school.
