I remember the feeling well Vonny. I think Mums suffer more than the children, mine loved it when they started. They even liked being sent off to prep school at just 8 ( we were in Borneo at the time)
My younger son is 31 and is STILL at home. He has yo-yoed (is that a word?) back and forth with depression. Currently after a bout last Christmas he is with us and is working as a buffet steward on the Ffestiniog Railway, not a thought what he will do when his contract expires at the beginning of November.

Sounds pretty intimidating; one teacher (Miss Welch), one class for 5 to 11 year olds and abpout 12 pupils.shoz wrote:Likewise for my primary school. Only 6 teachers plus the headmaster and I can still remember all their names.Great Plum wrote:I still remember my first day at school...
Two memories - having to write a letter of apology to some government official because I had broken something and a new pupil (Christina O**n) who cried for all her first day and never came back. (I later found out that that was the day they buried her mother).
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

I started at a small village school of about 60 pupils. My teacher was an old lady with a limp called Miss Watts. (this was 1959). I later discovered (FRU) that this 'old lady' had retired in 1992 at the age of 60.
If you can't be bothered to do the arithmetic she was 27 in 1959.

My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.
