I enjoyed my schooldays. My first teacher died recently in her late 80s, I held her in the highest regard, and enjoyed our occasional meetings right up to recent times. Some of my teachers influenced me profoundly, and I remember them with very great affection. I was very lucky to have known them and been taught by them, and to have known them right through my life.

But I had a good attitude towards school and respected the authority of my teachers. In this life you get back what you put in - those who put nothing in get nothing out. And rightly so.
