ARE SCHOOL DAYS THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE?

6

Ron Parks: School? It’s a waste of time mostly — at least for me. The biggest problem is the teachers. Most of them are bored with their jobs, so they’re boring in their classes. If I had listened to my teachers I would know all about Shakespeare and what day the Civil War started and how to prove the Pythagorean Theorem and all that junk. But I wouldn’t know anything how to make a business deal or anything that’s really important»

7

Anne Potts: ”I loved school. All my teachers were wonderful: I learned something special from each one. I was a straight A student almost every year, but I didn’t spend all my time studying. I participated in many extra-curricular activities and sports too. I was always sorry when summer vacation started – three months with no school!»

8

Craig Estrella: ”I went to a prep school in Connecticut and it wasn’t easy for me to study there. We had to study very hard, and a lot was expected of us. The thing I remember most is the friendships. The friends I made then are still my friends today”.

9

Barbara Hamlin: “I went to a big public high school in the Midwest. We lived in a well-to-do suburb, so the school was pretty good academically. I’m sorry I didn’t

take much advantage of it. I wish my parents had let me take more science and math subjects. I thought then they were right and I was wrong, so I majored in literature. It was so boring!’

10.

Coleen Wilson: “School was just another part of neighbourhood life. My brothers and sisters and I went to a parochial elementary school three blocks from home. Later we had to take a bus to the public high school. And then we all went to a little community college. The thing I remember most is a constant changing of schools and colleges and a boring atmosphere practically in all of them. I didn’t remember any friends from my school years and it is very bad.»

What personality traits correspond to each school-leaver?

A hard-working and very sociable B active and generous

C bright in studying and very sport D shy and irresolute

E idle and naughty

F popular and fun-loving
