In fact, I'm fairly sure I almost failed grade 8. <BR/><BR/>In grade 4 my teacher had a wall in the class with a series of bird pictures... At the bottom was a buzzard; at the top was an eagle. As we learned our multiplication tables, we moved up to better and better birds. I was a buzzard all year long. My mother was really mad about it when she found out. She thought it was bad for my self-esteem. Oh well. <BR/><BR/>The school system just doesn't work for everybody. Some of us are just to fabulous & beautiful & smart for it. (That would be you and me, obviously)... Lol. Seriously, though, school system - it's geared towards one type of learning & anyone who is a bit different kind of struggles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767786358681317187.post-79556530801341944782008-05-23T00:42:00.000+12:002008-05-23T00:42:00.000+12:00You live in a bee-ooo-tee-fooool spot.

If that is not it, where do you get it from! <BR/>I need to come back and read some more and then I will make a better comment :) I have to go clean like crazy.
