French & Spanish. I didn’t continue practising though so very rusty now. It’s on my to do list to immerse myself in them for a while to become proficient again |

English Language and Literature was my best. I got great grades at both GCSE and A Level. I still maintain a passion for literature and especially watching plays at the theatre. I still write and recite poetry but for my own amusement mostly. |

We had the option to study Environmental Science (basically ecology, anyone else do that?).
It has always been and remains the foundation for my current world view. |

English, typing and shorthand.
Aged 11 I had a dream of being a PA to a Managing Director. Using the skills I learnt at school, I worked my way up from the typing pool to the PA to a Chief Executive of a public company. Well chuffed  |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I enjoyed school and didn't really have a best subject, just two weak ones: maths and physics. I got away with a lot by being bright, rather than scholarly and intelligent. I'm grateful that my comp in Hackney gave me an eduction, not just teaching and learning.
Now, I'm fascinated by maths and physics and so many other things I don't understand as well as the things I have always enjoyed. I've been lucky to have a career where I have done so many different things that mean I have to learn something new almost weekly.

"PE.. no, not really.
I wasn't so much rubbish at PE as i completely hated it. So much so that i once ran the 400m backwards in protest.  "
I understand running and walking backwards is more of a challenge and better for you, as exercise.  |

I meant at GCSE level  Which is more about the human body than it is about sports. |

That didn't exist in my day. The human body was covered in biology and there was no written test for PE.

It was relatnew when I took it.. muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones etc.
I dont think we touched human body in biology.. was all enzymes and shit.. which was annoying as I thought its be all about flora and fauna.. how disappointed was I? |

English Literature and Music.
Yes to the first. I'm seriously debating finally doing my PhD in the next couple of years. The latter no. Unless our odd annual family Christmas quartet counts. I still go to recitals but my violin languishes forlornly in the corner unplayed for the most part. |

I did 'O' levels and there was no PE qualification. Pointless, pointless, pointless.  |

PE pointless? A lot of physiotherapists working within sports took GCSE PE.. going off the wages thread, people value their favourite players recovery times quite highly.
Though, yes.. I'd agree, it's been a pretty useless qualification to me, though put me in good position for armed forces later on in life. Also helps to know my own body when ivd injured it.. also.. give a mean massage, cos I know where everything is supposed to be. |

I'm still waiting on a message from a long ago holiday island thread.

"we didnt even have half these subjects everyone is talking about"
It's estimated that about half the children in school now will be in jobs that haven't been invented yet.
School is a construct to prepare our young for work, amongst other things.

French. I really should have gone on and done something language based but no. I didn't take it any further. I regret that I didn't continue to learn. Maybe I'll find the time one day |

I was rubbish at that too. Although, I enjoyed trampolining, until my boobs got too big, and badminton.
