I still have that book. There is a song in it called "The Fox ". One of the lines is, "Out of the window he cocked his head". I remember boys in my yr 4 class laughing every time we sang that line. I used to laugh along too, even though, because of my sheltered upbringing, I had no idea what they were laughing at.

The saying we used to tease kids etc in our school in country Victoria back in early 90s likely based on some truths on reflection;

Copycat from Ballarat
Went to school and got the strap
Teacher said it wasn't fair
So 'insert name' lost his underwear

Did Cardinal Pell write that song?

A reminder to the teachers on here that it's wet day timetable season.

Such an enjoyable time those.

Permissibly going into next door's classroom (handy if your classroom was in a portable) was often a fun experience.
 
Our entire class hid from a teacher one lesson in high school. An hour we sat down at the front and he never found us.

I was also accused of looking at pr0n by the IT guy. I was tricked into opening a site consisting of fat black chicks everywhere. My personal login didn't work after that.
 
I remember back in the days of shitty network security. Our computer system at school used to have a drive where each student had a folder. Your login would be some combo of your first and last names and there would be a subsequent folder with the same combo where you'd save all your shit, just like people do now - only there was no read or write protection or privacy so you could just go into someone else's folder and **** up their shit.

This was the late 90s, so even having a network was pretty new tech. Prior to that everything was saved onto floppies.

Bound for Botany Bay
Greatest American Hero theme

Watched -

I can jump puddles ( Polio was some messed-up shit )
Seven Little Australians ( zzzzzzzzzzz )
Gandhi ( taxing as **** on a kid in yr 7 , had a Sri Lankan girl in our class and the massacre scene went down like a fart in church )
BILL ( Mickey Rooney as a special needs bloke , me being the soft-on i am had the tears flowing at the end cos it's a happy ending , i was the only kid who did and my teacher pointed at me and smiled like " this kid gets it " )


Epic that we'd have almost full teams playing a game of footy on an oval the size of a soccer pitch amongst a few hundred other kids and not severely injure any of them

Sadly I wasnt one of the lucky ones to avoid the bullying. Copped it for start to finish.
Very few friends as a result. Ended up a billy no mates in grade 6 as a result. Must of been the first kid in a victorian school to be allowed to listen to an AM FM radio while doing classwork.

Was anyone else forced to stay inside during primary school on wet days? Used to remember the feeling of deflation when you'd be hanging out for a kick of the footy but then the skies would open up.

When you hit high school, wet weather meant nothing, although they would open a few classrooms for those who didn't want their hair getting wet.
 
I'm interested in how the internet, and smartphones, where you have the entire world's knowledge in you pocket has changed education. I suspect up until the early part of this century school was probably as it was for me, and my parents before me. There have been a few allowances for the passage of time, but by, and large the way it was taught it wasn't all that different. Technology has turned all that arse up though, and the experience of kids at school in 2017 must be a million miles away from my experience in the 1980s.

I can't remember being forced to stay inside but it really limited your options at recess and lunch, you couldn't play any sports and even chasey or hide and seek were difficult. From memory playing board games in the library were a popular option when it was wet.

A mate of mine has kids at primary school and says all the kids there have their own iPads for learning in class, the only technology we had was a calculator.
