The post you are reporting:
When I was at school in the late 50s and 60s Matthew, both primary and secondary, I had the interests I have today. But, at school, there was nothing to stimulate my interests. I found much of it boring. Brook Bond tea cards, which were free in a packet of tea, had a space series, but there was nothing at school to promote my interests. I loved geography, but not drawing contours and all that, I wanted to read about other countries. I had to pinch books from school to read what I was interested in. Still have a couple today. My children didn`t have much interest in much of what was being taught either, so hasn`t changed alot. Just to add, my post from the other day, `SCHOOL, the happiest days of your life?` recieved no replies. Don`t know if that says something?
