gra bee 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 RGR, great photo @ 403. It seems odd that I can name kids I haven't seen for 50 years but can't remember where I put my car keys 15 minutes ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 These pictures are obviously staged..We all know that classes of 37/40 can't possibly result in kids being able to read and write.Teachers can't possibly maintain discipline in classes of over 20...I've read it in the Guardian.

StephenFord 866 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 These pictures are obviously staged..We all know that classes of 37/40 can't possibly result in kids being able to read and write.Teachers can't possibly maintain discipline in classes of over 20...I've read it in the Guardian. Found this in a school magazine for 1963 (Brooklands school, Long Eaton) : "Miss Grace Thompson...is retiring after a period of 35 years teaching service here...In the early years of her career she taught classes of over 60 pupils, and once had 67 in a room that is now deemed too small for 30..."

Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 If we're talking about "mine is bigger than yours", here's a contribution from the early 1960s with a class of 42 at Greencroft Junior School, Clifton. One of them is me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 At least, he went to school Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RGR 218 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Say Mudgie the school photo's l posted are actually my wifes figured there may be some Bestwood raced folks would be interested in them .I went to Highbury boys in Bulwell whose school uniform was a pair of jeans and a black leather jacket, not the best school in the City but lot's of discipline. Sadly we never had school pictures taken there, junior school l went to was Cantrell Road they were happy when l left but that's another story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi RGR, my last year at school was a battle with some staff members,they would constantly be on my back, "get your hair cut" and don't come to school looking like a " ton up" boy. Needless to say,I never took any notice,and was sent home,time after time.Spending hours in the billiard hall,and 'Jacks' cafe,on Villa street,Beeston. A much more interesting education during that part of my teenage years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
