whispered secret Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 No, I stood at the window, but there were only the neighbours across the road doing the same. Did you have an inspiring teacher at school? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisey Jeep Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 oh God not more school questions no no one cared i never had that one teacher like that one nun that taught Bruce when every other teacher was horrible i did however get on quite well with the caretaker at high school i think i would have thrived on even the tiniest glimmer of encouragement but it was not forthcoming especially at high school if you'r not disruptive and you'r passing even if only bearly, teachers dont give a dam about average kids its all about the high achievers or the really slow or naughty kids or the popular kids there is no time left for the invisible faces of the average actually i had a really awsome music teacher in the first year of high school music was compulsory the first year and i had never done music before i got 2nd in my class too bad the next year i got the arse hole music teacher and all the other kids that continued on with music had done music theory before and they raced ahead while i fell behind and the teacher didn't give a rat's arse and i didn't even want to play the french horn - i wanted to play the trumpet! ......do you harbour residual resentment from waaaaay in the past ?
