Bobby Skidmarks Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah, I was just being a dick. School isn't the be-all and end-all. Unless your life ambition is to pull the most girls at the Fourth Year school disco, of course, in which case that is fairly time limited. Not for Tedi.

When I made a daft wee joke about glandular fever I didn't realise the parade of shattered lives that I was mocking. Not quite as harsh as your mates parents though "Mum, Dad, i've got an illness where I'm tired all the time, it'd really debilitating" "f**k you son, we're all off on a holiday that involves cycling ten miles every morning and endless woodland treasure hunts!"

throbber Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's not the be-all and end-all but Its obvious why parents want you to pull the finger out and do well from a young age rather than hang about with bad influences and get into binge drinking in your teenage years. Also Chris you say that you think the people that drone on about high school all the time years after are the pits but I know dozens of guys and girls who were destined for success and had ambition when they were in school who never followed it through and are of that sort of mind set now they're in their 30's it's not to do with intelligence.

Gaz Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I liked Primary School up until about P5. Was bullied very badly up until S4, so hated Secondary School. Ironically I'm now a Secondary School teacher. Always try to find the good in kids no matter how much of a wee dick they're being, but my pet hate are kids that could be a bit sharp but are just so fucking lazy.

Hillonearth Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Enjoyed both primary and secondary well enough but although I'm still in touch with some punters from back then they're by far in the minority. It's different strokes for different folks I suppose - I was one of only a few metalheads in my school and even while I was still there I ended up playing in bands, hanging about at gigs and going to pubs in the city centre, ending up with a largely new set of mates a lot more defined by the scene we were part of than geography, who came from here there and everywhere. Some folk never really move on from their initial social circle, which is fair play as well if that's what they're happy with...the kind of dudes who'll end up marrying a burd from two years below them at school and end up living four doors down from their folks! Had a strange experience a few years back when a mate who I'd stayed in touch with since schooldays suggested we nip into the Lincoln on Great Western Road for a pint as we were passing by it - we went to Knightswood. Within a couple of minutes of going in there were people coming up to us who could remember who were our registration teachers, stuff that had happened when we were like 14, and exactly who we hung about with back in the day...some of the punters they mentioned I hadn't even thought about for 20 years, but they could remember as if it was yesterday...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Enjoyed both. High school got better as you got older though. Once we were old enough to have a common room it was sensational- used to just go into school all day and not bother going to classes. Up to all sorts at school... All of my good pals are generally from school- primary and secondary or else from the fitba- and most of them went to my school anyway just different years.

MONKMAN Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My 2 best mates from primary are dead, both drug related. My group of mates from secondary are still all ridiculously close, as we have been for the past 15 years. School was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 . I fucked off out of my home town as soon as I could, they all still live there. Do the same things every weekend. Boring. Whereas you live in a different place! Most likely doing the same thing most weekends, but I suppose with it being in a different place that makes it exciting?... I don't get people's attitude towards a "place" that because you live in the same place it's in some way boring or a waste, as if somehow moving somewhere else gives you a superiority over someone, a very snobby and ugly attitude. Since leaving education I've lived at various different places in England but I don't think I've ever looked down my nose as those that still live back home, they seem pretty content and I'd be just as happy, if not happier living back in my hometown, and Windsor is an alright place as it is. Back to the thread and School was pretty good, was a laugh most of the time. My best mates went to the same school as me but we were already friends beforehand due to growing up close together.

1320Lichtie Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Loved school. Primary and the Academy. Stuck in but still had a great time with mates. Struck a decent wee balance, well behaved but got about 7 punishment exercises in my 4 years, every single one for laughing at inappropriate times. Academy had a right few characters and some absolute nutters too. On my first day a wee guy kept on singing the scooby doo song for some reason, teacher left the class to go get head of department as he wouldn't shut up. He preceded to take his table and put it in front of the door so they couldn't get in, on their return he stood on the table and started giving the 2 of them the finger through the wee glazed screen, they fucked off to get the principle and he then hid in a wall unit cupboard (was in a big biology class with wall units and normal ones). The principle along with the teacher and head returned and someone said he was in a cupboard but nobody said which one, the 3 of them then start opening all the cupboards and when they opened the cupboard he was in he just screamed RARRRRRR, teacher shat herself he jumped out and bolted up the corridor. Basically set the tone for the first 2 years atleast. By 3rd year most of the nutters had been shipped off to Carnoustie. Used to love eating a ridiculous amount of shite yet not putting on a pound. Football all the time too and half decent mobiles had just come out with Bluetooth which made for some funny moments, using notes etc. The wee porno dealer with about 16 memory cards and a thousand videos dishing them out to folk through it. Good times. Been left 9 year now, been working at the same job for 8 of them. I've got old quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Quite enjoyed both primary and secondary school. From a fairly early age I saw it as a means to an end. The better my grades, the more likely I'd go on to get a better paid job in the future, so I knuckled down and tried fairly hard. I had a good group of friends who I'm still in contact with. Socially, I was sort of upper mid table. A St. Johnstone. Not a VL but wasn't rattling the popular girls behind the bike shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I went to a posh skool (compared to the rest of them I was scum though! ). Hated primary school although I once through up all over a lassie in P7 when I had the cold. Shame, she was a nice lassie too. Hated secondary up until about 4th year A certain Olympian cyclist was a couple of years below me- he used to cycle to school and if I'd had a vision of the future I would have burst the little cnut's tyres. We had a school reunion a few years ago. One bird I fancied now had grey hair. The other bird I fancied still had bloody nice legs.. One of my year at least did something useful- he started Innes and Gunn, makers of fine beer Tom Bam's schooldays. St Posh's School prepare to take on Bash Street...

Dazzle Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 All I did at school was play football and then start drinking, can't really complain. Education isn't really for me and I left in 4th year and got an apprenticeship, I still have 2 good pals from when I was younger I still see regularly.
