School memories
My old school is celebrating 50 years in existence. Because of this the local newsletter published a short piece with some ex pupils recollections. A lot didn't exactly tally with my own experience and recollection so I sent in a letter and now been invited to write more for a local history website.
The school was form by the amalgamation of two existing schools opening in September 1975. I'd done one year at the old school moving then to the new one.
I found it funny how some "recollections" were just simply wrong in my memory. Anyways I've written my few hundred words and submitted it to the editor. But in the post truth world it seemed to me they wanted to paint the school in a particular (negative) light so I'll be intrigued to see if all my words make it to the website as an alternative view or editorial bias takes over.
