I mean mixing between subjects you tend
to get that sort of feeling.
I mean, I feel ,
an absolute, I feel absolutely hopeless when
it comes to English because I just,
ɪ was never
that good at it and it took
ιe four attempts
to get my '0' Level,
of a failure.
ɪ feel as if I’m a bit

And hearing you speak about Maths is really
good I think for all the English people and it
makes us think, why were we failures at Maths.
I mean, was it our fault, was it the way we were
made to feel.
It makes you think about the
teaching methods, 'cause, you know, probably
when all of us were at secondary school we were
split into art subjects or science subjects and
whatever way we chose we were made to feel ....

When you talk about failure though there’s
*1
ore to it than that.
The kids we’re going to
be teaching, they're not going to be thinking
in terms of feeling a failure at certain subjects.
They're just going to be totally alienated from
school.
I mean, I can remember I nearly left
school at 16 because I really, you know, just
thought school a waste, I just didn't like the
whole set-up and I was one of the kids who played
around in the classes I didn't like and I didn't
feel, those subjects
I didn’t think I was a
failure in because I just didn’t like them.

Well
I didn't feel like a success or
failure while I was at school.
I didn't consciously feel that.
I mean
well,
It's only now
when we're talking in our seminar groups.

Do you feel a failure then?

You tend to, like, reject the subject you
think you failed at.
I mean, I was terrible
at history
I mean I hated it because I couldn't
do it.
I couldn't remember vast spiels’ about
I could never transcribe it back when it
came to exams so I gradually hated it and when
it actually came round to the '0' Level I thought
I don't like this subject.
I don't understand
I got an H for that but I
iil
ean
it moulds your attitude to a subject.
I think
Even now,
when I was at college doing engineering there
were two sort of factions within the Polytechnic
Engineering and Humanities, and all the engineers
despised the humanities,
to do.
It was just the thing
