Enjoy.

Hey there.

We're now into Junior High, first year, 7th grade.

This one will be in two parts, since I changed schools in the middle of this grade and the two halves of the experience were actually quite different.

Cheers,

Hey!

Where I went to school, sixth grade was the last grade of grade school. It was also kind of a transitional grade, behind us were the horrible teachers who's main work was to babysit a bunch of kids, teach them to sit at their desks, listen to the school bell, do what we were told, get used to the different times for different things, divide us into our aptitudes. We were moving towards "higher education".

Hope you enjoy this episode.

Hey friends!

You ever feel like the rug has been abruptly pulled from under your feet? Pulled away so fast that you don't even realize that you ought to have fallen onto your rump?

The Supreme Court of the USA has had a habit of doing that to us in the past year or so. I remember my mate, a Spaniard, saying that the guy who won in 2016 couldn't be all that bad and I remember saying: "It won't be him, it will be the judges he appoints."

Have a listen to me ranting about a July ruling by that silly group of robe-touting holier-than-thou idiots that the so-called "founding fathers" hooked us with. Jeeze.

Cheers,

Hey all.

Ready for spelling tests and relief maps? The last of the stern, strict, "sit down and shut up" teachers of grade school? That's were we're at in this episode of you're listening to radio revel. Fifth grade, Mrs Lovgren, Miss Green and Mr Campbell are the adults in the room while we snotty-faced 11-year-olds squirm under their dictatorial indoctrination.

Enjoy the episode!

Cheers,

revel.

Going to catch you all off guard with this episode.

Hey all and welcome back to you're listening to radio revel. Hope you all had a nice summer.

Starting up with the new school year, that is, back to school days, well I've shifted the focus for the next several episodes to my own school days, something I've mentioned in the past and have had on the back burner for a while.

In this series, which will probably take us up to the end of Season Four, I will be trying to remember what school was like for me in the '60s and '70s, combining those memories and anecdotes with things that were going on in the world outside of my school microcosmos.

Hope you enjoy the episode, This first one covers my first year in school, no pre-school for me, I went right into what was the closest to pre-school that existed for we of the final half-decade of the baby boomers: Kindergarten.

Cheers,

revel.
