I just wasn't used to an all girls' school. We were, luckily, told of all sorts of career possibilities but I know what you mean about the "push" into teaching. I love Italy. I miss things about the UK, but only small ones and now and then.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-40627141279506034802009-05-25T08:49:41.923+02:002009-05-25T08:49:41.923+02:00Hi Welshcakes,
Really there is no way to pick you ...Hi Welshcakes,<br />Really there is no way to pick you from that photo..not even if I knew you back 'in the day'.<br /><br />I was also was a student at an all-girls school, but we had male staff members as well. Although the teaching was of a high standard, I have to admit that many, who were not suited to the teaching profession were encouraged to study subjects that<br />inexorably led in that direction. An English degree was fun to do, but it was limiting. Young girls of today , have many more options (or should I say they used to)<br /><br />I trust you are enjoying life in Italy. I am in Australia, but I still miss the UK. Probably not enough to go back though.<br />Regards,<br />MaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361186509598558369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-39021551467512466162009-05-24T23:19:40.636+02:002009-05-24T23:19:40.636+02:00Hi, Cherie. Oh, yes, you should post it! Hi, Anne...Hi, Cherie. Oh, yes, you should post it! Hi, Anne. I tried to enlarge the top one but it just wouldn't work and I couldn't get it any clearer even on Photoshop. Sorry you hated your school. I didn't hate the studying part. I don't think you're doing so badly! By "taking univ entry as our birthright" I mean that, unlike the older women who taught us, we didn't, as females, have to fight to go there. We had to work hard, but provided you did that, it was taken for granted in that school. Hi, jmb. I just wasn't used to an all girls' school, having come from a mixed one. You did well to avoid teaching!Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-39600663696476033242009-05-24T20:31:48.307+02:002009-05-24T20:31:48.307+02:00We did not take school photographs in high school ...We did not take school photographs in high school but only in primary and elementary school, for some reason. I have a couple of those still.<br /><br />I went to an all girls' high school and thought nothing of it at the time. We had all female teachers and everyone assumed we would all go on to become teachers. But that was one thing I was determined not to do, although most everyone else did as it turned out.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-81549182516759536702009-05-24T01:15:35.757+02:002009-05-24T01:15:35.757+02:00hello WL..I wish I could enlarge your photos..:-( ...hello WL..I wish I could enlarge your photos..:-( so i cannot tell which one is you1<br /><br />I have no photos of my school days, the worst days, could not stand it..but never mind, ....oh yes your Italian students must of been fascinated....
