There were a lot of things in school I liked but I am not sure school was focused on learning as much as it was on things you had to do like homework. You had to sit in your seat like a robot. That stuff I didn't enjoy. The teachers were so strict and you were so afraid. We didn't want to do anything wrong. You couldn't afford to do anything wrong or you'd get the strap.Tony Kearney - Croque

We were classed as teacher's pets because we came from a tiny resettled community where you respected your elders and the teacher and the minister. We had a lot of respect for our teachers. I sat in my seat as did the other kids but we didn't turn our heads, we didn't make a sound. We just sat and listened. What work we had to do, we did it. We were always the top one, two, three in our class. So when the prizes were given out, we always got them. Our teacher should not have, but she always used to say to the others, Why don't you be more like her? And that got us labeled as teacher's pets. So we tried to learn to be a bit bad.Celie Randell Parsons - Little Harbour Deep and Englee

I loved school. I loved it so much that when my brother used to have his friends in while I was studying, I really got upset because I couldn't study. I must have had a bit if dyslexia because a lot of my learning was done by rote.Cindy Coates Musgrave - Main Brook
