No one here seems to have a clue what school was like (I say 'was' because proper schools don't seem to exist any more). It's all very well Perro saying he didn't like it, but I don't suppose he turned up more than one day in three, and probably left early too. I do agree with him about the prefect archetype. Fascist carphounds most of them if not quite all.
I doubt if anyone can beat my score of eight. Two of those were very good indeed, two were more or less useless, and the (two) posh ones were somewhere in the middle but good for one's demeanour in a way.
But I'm not properly educated. For that you need three good schools and a serious attitude. So you don't look a prat, as I did, when by some fluke, with a bit of nudging from connected pedagogues, you get into a decent university.
Even the useless schools were valuable life experience though. Now that the die is cast and I'll never be rich or successful I value those memories.
