I leave school this summer but one of my most memorable events will be chucking a glass of water over one of the assistant heads. That has gone down in school history.

In secondary school, talking to a friend, talking about the "attributes" of our English teacher*. I found out she was standing behind me when she yelled my surname and put me in detention..


*She was young, pretty, well endowed and extremely strict (well, she was head of English in an all-boys secondary school, with a mixed sex sixth form). She also caused many happy dreams, which I'd better not go into.


As for Uni, well, I spent far too much of that drunk. Even to the point of passing out regularly in Lectures (God knows how I passed Formal Specification, I spent most of the lectures passed out). The real fun started when I first started work, and some of my adventures have been posted here.

Sayin the word "Jugs" at just the wrong volume, just as the assembly went quiet, this was in the 4th year of Junior School.

I was then asked to stand in front of the entire school and explain what I had been talking about, there was some quick thinking that day I can tell you!

I hear ya mate...

I love my primary school years the most (K-6) as I was in a mainstream school AND I LOVE THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!! -- I am thankful I was in school IN THE 80s before schools started making it worse in the 90s!

Here is what I loved

1) Hamburgers - It was plain hamburgers and I put lots of cathup on it..... I would do anything for one now!

2) Pizza - MMMMMMMMMMMMM (French Bread Style (Rectangle))

3) Fish Sticks - Also MMMMMMMMMM

And then later in the late 80s in secondary school I loved thier CABBAGE SALAD!!!!! -- Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! -- I asked them for the recipe one day and my mom made some but it wasnt as good at all :(


Recently within the last few years I was eating @ a buffet (Country Buffet) and I found some of this cabbage salad on the bar... It tasted somewhat like what I had in the 80s in middle school!!

Getting the belt for being late for my English class in secondary school let's just say I was never late again.

Re: Your School Memories
 

Absolutely no happy memories about any of the 6+ secondary schools I attended. Racially abused and bullied pretty much non stop till I took up martial arts. After that it was just miserable but at least the bullying stopped.

Re: Your School Memories
 

Actually I have a selection of memories about secondary school. One is above, but another is our drama teacher..

She was strict. And slightly scary. Scary enough that we turned up for her class early despite having to miss most of morning break to get there.

One morning, instead of our normal lesson, she sat us all down. Then proceeded to tell us at great length how we were all evil, and potential rapists. I went to an all boys school, so we were obviously all male. One of my friends pointed out that rape is not exclusively male (female rapists are rare but do happen), only to be told to be a rapist you need a penis.

One of my friends turned up a few minutes later, at the actual start of the lesson, smiling. He was thrown out and put in detention. Iirc, when she heard, his mother put in a complaint. Whatever happened, I don’t recall seeing that teacher again.
