Evolving Education
one small step at the time

LISTEN HERE

Teachers who affected my Life

10/7/2020

 

Secondary Schools

When I was eleven years old, there was a test in the UK, called the “Eleven Plus” which determined whether you would be sent to a Grammar School, a Technical School or a Secondary Modern School.

  • The Grammar School taught Languages, Arts and Home Economics and was intended for girls.
  • The Technical School taught the Sciences, Woodwork and Metalwork and was intended for boys.
  • The Secondary Modern School taught everything, to boys and girls.

That was the way it was.

Since I loved Art and was not good at Maths, in Primary School, it was a surprise that I was sent to the Technical School.

It just happened. 

The Stories

And these stories in rainbow shades from light to dark, tell something of what happened there:

Light​
The English Teacher
The Maths Teacher
The Physics Teacher
The Sixth Form Maths Teacher
The Woodwork Teacher
The French Teacher
The Music Teacher
The PE Teacher
Dark

Hmm, which did you choose first?

    The Author

    I am a teacher, a business-owner, a public speaker, a coach and an author.

    Yes I'm a bit of a politician and a preacher too!

    My Mission is to play a major part in supporting the education system in taking its next evolutionary step, becoming self-evolving rather than self-preserving.
