" I still believe my school let me down. I came out with great grades, especially compared to the bulk of the year group but I could have done so much more and I could, and should, have done better." I left school with grades well below my potential and I left earlier than planned as my parents threw me out but I have never once felt the school or teaching let me down. I loved both primary and secondary school. I became friends with some of the teachers and when I bump into others they still remember me, even though the school had well over 1,000 students at a time. Just the other day even the very daft, but sensible, thing of putting the lid back on the nail polish remover reminded me that it was part of a lesson in Home Economics when I was eleven. My brother in law went to a public school with lots of academic rigour and nothing else to do but get your homework done and play sports. He thinks the education my sister and I received at an inner city comprehensive in Hackney was much broader, better and useful than his education. | |||

"A lot of the maths I've not needed. I do regret doing woodwork rather than cookery. Not once since leaving school have I felt the need to make my own letter rack or money box, but I cook everyday. Looking back, the only good thing about woodwork was that every time I felt the need to break wind I went and stood next to the same chap, dropped one, then sodded off. Nothing personal, but it amused the heck out of me for two years " I wish I could have done woodwork and metalwork as it used to be called. But instead was forced to do cookery, sewing and knitting all of which my mother had taught me. Being able and confident using power tools and working out how to make/fix things would have saved me a fortune over the years. Ah the joys of 1970s sexist education. | |||

" I did do woodwork and metalwork to third year. We didn't get remotely close to using a power tool. We were allowed to file the burrs from the edges of our metalwork project, after the teacher had cut it out and welded it for us. Then we were allowed to paint it. I've taught myself, (and am still learning), to use power tools since. I probably don't always do things the easiest way but they always get done to a good standard. Get a decent DIY book, some scrap wood and practice. It's not nearly as hard as some blokes make out. Even my dad carefully explained to me how to put a coat hook rack up level a few days ago. They just can't help themselves. | |||

"I saw a photo of a supermarket shelf containing fruit pies not so long ago. The price label read £3.14 It amused me anyway." That would amuse me too, but only because I was taught the number at school. | |||

I left school the year it was put in place so it had no effect on my education. | |||
