Boother, was Tunny your headmaster? did you have a science teacher named Gallacher?

Post by Pretty Little Boother on Jan 25, 2011 5:11:38 GMT
Yes to both. Especially with the slightly odd spelling of the second, which always struck me!
I was years 00-05, I probably know of you even if I don't know you (if that makes sense).

You wont know me, I went school with Gallacher, known him a hell of a long time, Tunny was my Deputy Head at Thomas More... Bastard picked me up by the collar and threatened to fill me in if I didnt behave, word got round that he mellowed when he got the Head job over there.
I imagine you had one of my history teachers as well, if my memory is correct Byatt?

14.5 GCSEs at A and B, as well as a C in a statistics exam I didn't even know I was doing until the week before the exam.
Proceeded to fuck up by choosing Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Critical Thinking and English Lang/Lit at A level- kicked out of maths after about three weeks because I couldn't understand any of it, failed chemistry at the end of first year, in spectacular fashion, and bodged up biology and English as a result of revising nothing but chemistry.

GCSEs Geography C English and Maths D PE D Psychology D Cant remember the rest but they were even shitter.
GNVQ Leisure and Tourism NVQ Food Prep.
Went into catering and college is a waste of time for that. You learn more in a week in a real kitchen than you can in a year at college.
All the pressure pit on kids to achieve qualifications these days is bullshit. Some of the brightest and most interesting people ive met or worked with have had few or no qualifications. You can't teach common sence, free thinking and initiative.

After fucking around for five years:
GCSE's English Language - B English Literature - C Maths - C Science - C C German - C P.E - D I.T - E Engineering - F (We all had a pact that if we didn't know the answer in the exam then we had to put 'Mr Hargreaves' who was our really fat, shit, fagbreathed teacher. I went a step further because I was really wank at Engineering and drew a picture of him spread-legged when we were asked to show how a pully-machine worked.
AS Levels English Language - C Psychology - D Media Studies - E
Then I fucked off 'cuz I'd had enough.

Don't you get an A for turning up at exams these days and being able to spell your own name?
Every time results are announced there are a million stories of different people gaining 62 A*'s in their GCSE's/A Levels.
I'm sure there were only 8 or 9 when I were a lad.
Times change I suppose.
You can get an A* in Paper Mache Techniques these days.

Fuck off WD, nobody likes you.
Tassie, ahh. Tunney used to teach science to my dad at Thomas More as well. Think it was called something else then though, Bishop Bright or something? I vaguely remember the name Byatt but I can't put a face to the name, I bizzarrely had the same History teacher for five straight years.

You'll find an awful lot of statistics are doctored, I know for a fact at mitchell in the statistics I was attributed just 5 A - C grades, the other 10 (GNVQ counts as 4 apparently in those statistics) were used to bring other students up to the 5.
The reason why grades are much higher now is because you don't get taught things in a manner which has any use in life, you don't even get taught the life relevant aspects to any particular subject. You do whats outlined in the teachers guides for that years exams and thats it.
In years gone by when the English assessment was Jane Eyre I imagine you had to read the whole book, we just had to read Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 (I think). In electronics we didn't learn anything that might come up in the real world such as circuits in the home or anything like that, we did some daft shit like counters for most of the first year and building circuits like that.
The only comprehensive and complete subject I studied was History, learned a lot about the industrial revolution and all the peripheral to that and it was actually more enjoyable than just being spoonfed exam questions.

In years gone by when the English assessment was Jane Eyre I imagine you had to read the whole book, we just had to read Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 (I think). Its a shame it isn't done that way any more. I read Jayne Eyre in junior school (they had run out of ready reader books for me lol) along with other classical literature such as Treasure Island, Pride and Prejudice and David Copperfield etc. Certainly in my case it fostered a love for books and by the time I got to High School I enjoyed the English literature reading list. I recall being the only one in the class who had read A Midsummer Night's Dream previously and through choice. (Yes, I was sad like that, still am) The system as it is now doesn't encourage reading, as you say reading 2 chapters from a classic doesn't give you any insight into the story, the period or the character so cannot possibly leave you with any interest.
