I did a degree in writing for performance, and I had to study basic English while at uni. I managed to pass my GCSE's and A levels and only when at uni did i need to learn what a verb, adverb, adjective and pronoun etc. actualy were. Really.

I may be an exceptional case, everyone who has ever taught me with regards to English has always labelled me 'gifted' and it has to be aknowledged that I see things differently to everyone else with regards to language. I just do, and it is this unusual approach that managed to get me so far. I still feel cheated that I wasn't given the tools for my future trade when I spent so much time devouring the stuff in my formal compulsory education.

For an example, we studied Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Harper Lee's To KIll a Mockingbird for GCSE English Literature, and due to its girly nature I outright refused to read Jane Eyre (There were only two lads in the class of 32, and our female teacher had put it to the vote. We were duly outvoted).

Typically it was the one that came up on the exam. No problem, George Orwell's Animal Farm was the subject of the question on the next page, I had read this aged 12 and I got myself a B by answering the questions from memory.

This reflects badly on the whole educational establishment, if we are to be honest.

At school they gave me a test and rated me an IQ of 155. They put me in the 4th percentile for English language skills.

I was in the bottom set for Mathematics because, quite simply, the teacher and I just hated one another. He taught me for 4 years too, in a secondary school of with 8 forms per year averaging 36 students per form. What are the chances? I had my own desk in the corridor outside the classroom, the Headnaster used to visit me once a week at my desk and I essentially taught myself maths from school textbooks.

I got a C in my Maths GCSE.

The point made much earlier is ridiculously apt:

'There is enormous investment in people who are underachievers for one reason or another, but no / little parallel investment in those who are also 'special needs' for the opposite reason - they are intelligent.'

Chris, I couldn't agree more.

I was a pretty bad kid at school. But then I had little choice, I just couldn't deal with the constant boredom.

At 22 years of age I had to learn what an adjective was.

I think we should start a politics thread. I really do believe it is a science, and I've seen it creeping across over 50% of the posts I've read so far...

I think I'll suggest it.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies- Groucho Marx.

Aah, now, I'm new to the forum and still adjusting to the 'more than one page' situation.

I guess you could consider the post re-hijacked,

I'd apologise, but I'm really not sorry

We need a politics post, eh.
