A long tradition which is sadly being lost."The Wars". Brought up in Newton Heath. This takes me back a bit.

We moved from Radcliffe to Mossley! Felt about the same!! For a month or two at the end of the school year, I had to “commute” to school…run down the Old Brew for the train from Mossley to Victoria then switch to another one to Whitefield and walk up the hill. The way home was a school bus through Radcliffe to catch the 400 Express to Ashton, then onto the Mossley bus (417?)! Got home around 7pm, back to school about 12 hrs later!Everyone i know was kicked out of Stand, including my brother and best mate.
Had to ask people to wake me up at Ashton if I fell asleep!!
Ah, the good old days!!!! :-/

I find a lot of people are nostalgic about the old days of education.
It's part of a general belief that there was a 'golden age' roughly about 1955-1960.
It's a load of fucking deluded bollocks. It was shit. It also definitely would not produce people fit for the modern world. Which is what education should be about. It is not about crushing and humiliating the human spirit, which is what the cunts at my secondary school sought to do.
It's the same sort of people who want conscription back, although the very last thing the Army wants or needs is a bunch of sulking conscripts.
It makes me despair how people recoil from both reality and the modern world.

Loved primary school, hated secondary. Couldn't wait to leave and didn't spend much time during the 5th year there anyway! - Our school was very much - almost exactly like the school in the film Kes :( - it was knocked down years ago, don't know of anyone that was sad to see it go.

I live on The Wirral for a reason. Basically, we cobbled together as a family to buy a relatives house in London before prices went north. Did it up nice and sold it for a great figure which saw me get this place over the line.You must have had decent income to be mortgage free at 41, or did you save everything and never go out etc?
Get on Right Move and look at places in unfashionable areas. I can shop, drink, train / fly from Liverpool easily. It’s seven minutes on the Mersey Rail.

My main negative about school, looking back, was that if you weren't naturally good at sport there was very little encouragement or coaching used to try to get you more involved or confident enough to want to be more involved.
On the whole it was ok, most teachers were in it for the right reasons and some were quite inspiring. Lots of arts and drama stuff going on. Head was what you might have called a progressive and the cane was hardly ever used. Valued staff stayed on for years so it was fairly stable.
