My previous post, entitled 'French', inspired me to write this. I get the feeling that no one else on these forums goes to or has been to a grammar school. I'm not saying that because I think you're all thick, infact I think the majority of you are very intelligent and a lot of you appear to be at collage or university and that is why I'm questioning the point of a grammar school.
The school is an all boys school but girls are allowed to enter the sixth form. That obviously makes socialising with the opposite sex more difficult than it should be. The girl's school is just down the road but they only ever visit to use the tennis courts (and they play netball on them!?). Also, the system for allowing people to enter does have its faults. It's basically an IQ test but it's multiple choice so a bit of luck can get you in. The other day, someone said that lions lay eggs and they weren't joking. Real retards get into the school and from what I can tell, all of the people on these forums are much more intelligent than most of the people I know. Then there is the length of the school day; 9:00am-4:00pm. Every other school in the area finishes at 3:00pm or 3:30pm. This is no advantage to us, especially when we get much more homework than people in other schools.
I believe that comprehensive schools give a better education because from them you are able to socialise with a wider range of people, still get good qualifications and have more time of your own to learn about the big wide world.

I know it's not their fault but I hate the spoilt little rich kids that go to all the local public schools around me.
Them and their bloody purple socks and irritating accents.

I did physics if that counts?
Have snogged my guitarist, but that was many years after leaving school, so no latent bummer I'm afraid - get your spank material elsewhere.

I thank the Lord that I was diagnosed with MD after 5 months at grammar school, because from that moment on I was excused from PE and games and therefore avoided having to take communal showers ...
Could've just done what I did and refused to play games/PE.
I ended up being sent to the headmaster, still refused and refused detention.
They eventually excused me because I explained that their notion of "Healthy mind, healthy body" and enforced physical recreation was Aryan in concept. They got huffy but backed down when mum agreed and suggested the LEA might like to get involved.
Goatboy - Stubborn Mule since aged 13

I liked P.E. Mainly because I was the best at football.
I refused to do athletics though... 1500 metres my arrse.

I'm in upper sixth in a grammar school.
It's mixed-gender though.

I went to a Comprehensive.
I now go to College and wish to move onto University.
Back in our day at school, we used to consider "Boy's Grammar Schools" as "bummar schools", not just because of our immature laddish behaviour mind, it was just something to laugh about.
Looking back on it, School was fun in a way, one heck of a lot of memory's and one heck of a lot of girls.
Talk to your parents if you're not happy at your current placement.

1500m? Pathetic. We do seven laps of the school field which is home to six rugby pitches and two cricket squares as well as a lot of unused space.
