Used to have a one-way system for the doors at school but it meant it took ages to run to the dinner hall at dinnertime so we’d run through the ‘no-entries’ if there were no teachers there. One time a teacher saw me and i pretended i hadn’t heard her and carried on running and then got double-bollocked when she chased after me. Cheers.

A dinner lady once bollocked me for saying “let’s get out of this hell hole” when leaving the school canteen.

i’ve definitely done this multiple times but i’m gonna do it again

when adults said “school days are the best days of your life”

  • talking bollocks
  • strangely preparing us for the fact that adult life is actually ok as long as you compare it to how shit school was

I’m not angry, just disappointed.

overall not far off

but i remember huge variation across each chapter

i remember being really bitter in the later years of primary school that the youngest kids just got to play and have fun while we had to do work

uni got harder as went along due to having to deal with reality (eg. money stuff)

sixth form, was fucking great in the upper year, less so before that

final year of school i liked the most, mainly cos all the lessons seemed to involve catching up on coursework in time for GCSEs but I’d already done it so could do very little

#36

as i think we’ve documented extensively, for many DiSers it wasn’t

children are absolutely fucking horrendous to each other :pensive:

(fair, soz. I fucking hated primary school for those reasons, got very lucky with my secondary and sixth form experiences)
