Can you remember your first day of skool?

[MyUserName]

I can. My mother was late picking me up and I remember standing around in the classroom as the other kids went home wondering what was going on.

Needless to say, I made sure I was on time when picking my daughter up after her first day!

[I just need to test it]

I remember mine. It was a grey, dank day. They gave me a car to play with but I wasn't interested. At break-time I was left in the care of Paul - a "nice" boy. My gaydar picked him up right away. He was a good lad but a hopeless minder as he let a fat Italian kid (who was to be my nemesis until my mum ambushed him weeks later) give me a hiding before the bell went.

I do.

We all stood outside in front of the wooden benches, while the teacher lectured us on expected behaviour and whacked a tennisette bat down on the bench saying that is what would happen if anyone was naughty (she wasn't kidding either). At that point one kid wet himself.

Oh happy days...

Yep, I was 2 1/2. I made friends with a boy and we tried to write my name in the sandpit. In the afternoon Miss read us a story (don't remember what) I went home disappointed we hadn't learned how to do sums.
Kids had it tough in them days.

I can't

I can however remember some things before that, like when we visited the school with our playgroup a few months before we started there properly. I can also remember thinking that visit was the reason I had to go to school afterwards and if I had just managed to avoid it I wouldn't ever have had to go to school. The day I realised that was a load of nonsense was a sad day indeed

I'm sure we were 4 before we went to school.

Nearly 6 for me in SA.

I wanted to go to skool and, to be honest, my mother had had enough of the "mum! why mum?" stuff by then so she wrote to the head and he let me in. Still got the acceptance letter somewhere.

after a few days, we had a new kid. I was told to take him under my wing.

we spent a week laughing our heads off, drawing pictures of dinosaurs with metal hands coming out the sides, picking apples off trees. it seemed logical at the time.

later on, he became a six foot six greaser on a motorbike.

but that was in the fourth year
