I learned that my chemistry teacher had the most amazing tits and wore a paper thin white shirt over a lacy white push up bra. I learned almost nothing in class apart from how hard my boner was.

I learnt what they wanted me to learn and with their slant on it.

What they didn't teach was how to learn. Or develop an enquiring mind.

I was duly processed and spat out into the university system where that continued.

I would say tht I learnt "X" but I have subsequently discovered that most of what I knew to be true...isn't.

'Education is what is left when everything you learned in school has disappeared.'

I learned almost nothing in school, a lot in Sixth Form College, and a huge amount at university. It's no coincidence I learned more as I was allowed to be more independent.

All that plus how to properly read and analyse hard texts like Shakespeare, my English lit teacher was amazing. Also learned to program BASIC which put me in good stead for a career as a software engineer in my 30s. I wish I put more effort into the other subjects tbh, but I was young and too interested in girls and dr*ugs

School and university is akin to learning to drive. They teach you how to pass a test, which is regulated at a set standard. However, it's only when you explore the subject for yourself, do you truly become knowledgeable in it.

Amongst many other things I also learned about the speed / distance / time 'triangle', which educated me about roadside Average Speed Cameras...which would 'grace' our roads many years later.

When I observe unwitting drivers braking hard at the approach of said camera, it's an indication that they clearly missed that basic edification at school.

Let's see.

A love and appreciation for language (including how to speak properly, SALT only went so far for me but school really helped. Still get some words wrong very occasionally - one particular number but it helped).

Critical understanding of text. Mainly thanks to an amazing teacher. Actually I'm going to whack on thinking to that and broaden it slightly.

The joy of other cultures, whether that's through a gastronomic lense, a socio-political one... it helped me with a desire to travel, learn more about others whether that's through their mythos, architecture or even music.

Interpersonal communication skills. I'm quite good at passing 95% of the time (who doesn't love a random percentage) and I think that's largely due to the school environment.

How to make a really good crumble.

How to impress the teachers, by doing all my CDT Design & Realisation work at home. One tried to call me out by asking to turn a bowl, I did a rather nice one from a piece of scrap mahogany my dad had lying around.

Apart from that, how to annoy the staff at Toys R Us by pretending to nick things. I just hid them in a different area of the store.

I studied law and international relations at uni. I learnt how not to get punched in the face because I've offended other cultures and what to do when I get to the police station and embassy when I have to punch someone in the face because of other cultures' beliefs about a large black woman. Lol!

Went to Rios yesterday. "Sir just because I'm black, plump, smiling, naked and sat next to you in the Jacuzzi does not mean I'm easy to manipulate into unwanted and uninvited touching." I didn't punch him. Diplomatic crisis and world war averted.

Ah I did. Up to college it was a mix of state and private. Infant and Junior were definitely more Montessori style and that really benefited me. Helped the insatiable curiosity grow. I think more educational settings, especially younger years should adopt that style.

Think you're right. Too often at school kids do things because "if they don't"... We need to Foster a love of and enthusiasm for learning that sets you up for life. Learn how to learn... Whether that's learning fourier transforms or languages or drama or bits bytes and nibbles...

All they teach at school these days is how to pass exams, nothing about how to deal with life after school. They're mollycoddled to the n'th degree now & won't stand a chance when they enter the real world & find that there's no body there to wipe their arses for them & sadly it's not their fault, most can't read a clock face but are taught ridiculous mathematical equations that they'll probably never ever use!

Coincidentally, that reminds me a lot of my French teacher as well. She used to wear dresses and skirts that fell just above the knee, and had a habit of sitting on desks, facing the class, with her feet up on a chair. Every so often, when she got down off the desk, you got a lovely view up her skirt, and her white knickers under black or tan tights.

I ended up with a Grade 2 pass at the end of the 5th year!
