The dreaded big red cross for fail

 

Years ago I had an idea for a Facebook page. It was going to be for cynical humour.. I invented the character called Cynic the Hedgehog for the page. Picture by my good friend Kathy Thompson'


Hello all, hope life is treating you all well

When I was at school, it was all about showing my working it out on paper. My working out? sheesh. I could do equations and algebra in my head, but ask me to put it down on paper it became a big mess. Teacher would take one look at the mess I made on the page and give me the BIG RED F for fail. 

I stopped going to school 14. When I did my Access to Learning Certificate many years later. I was able to use a computer keyboard, it was a revelation. I passed the certificate, including math GCSE with flying colours. This is one of the reasons I became a dyslexia and inclusion specialist.

Do you have any memories of school you would like to share on my blog? Just e mail me at steve_mccue@hotmail.com

#PeaceLoveGrooveyness to you all
