| Comment | I went to Knightswood too, left in 2010. Not got a decent word to say about it but that could just be my experience. Guidance teacher told me to just a get a job and don't have high expectations for college or uni. The one before her told me that I should take admin over computing because "girls like you don't need to know that stuff, just learn to type, you're not smart enough for it". Was constantly hassled by Mr. Burns and Campbell (pricks the pair of them). Lost a family member when I was in 4th year and I was allowed to slip from being top of a class to underachieving.
One thing I will say for sure though, kids in the middle are left. If you get top marks, there's help available for you - I know for a fact the advanced higher kids get extra lessons after school and study plans made for them. If you are at the bottom and expect to fail everything, they jump through hoops to get you a place in a college or on some sort of apprenticeship/program. The rest of us are waved on through with no help and tossed a yearbook at the end of prom with a pat on the back for participating in 6 years of shite.
Sorry for the rant, didn't realise how much I was holding on to 😂) |
