A bloggerfriend ladysighs made me get out an album from the past.
With smiles on my face,
I remember fondly the time in my Grammar school in Germany.
It was an all girl’s school, we did have fun.
This was between 1972 and 1980
We don’t have class/year pictures,
that was not tradition in Germany.
We did take pictures of our teachers though.
We made up special names for some teachers
derived from their surnames ususally.
Our Chemistry teacher, Herr Kazmayer, we called him “Katzi Schatzi” 🙂
Our latin teachers Herr Kimmerle ” Kimmi” and Herr Luipold called “Lupo”
Education is not preparation for life;
Education is life itself.
John Dewey
Our Maths teacher 1977, Herr Gumann called “Gummi”
He made mistakes on the blackboard and after we found 10 mistakes
we had a picnic together.
One way to keep our attention.
Education is what remains
after one has forgotten
what one has learned in school.
Albert Einstein
Peter Scruton, called “Snoopy” our Art teacher.
He was from England and became a great teacher.
He retired in Germany, there was even an article in the paper.
Frau Kurz (German and Sports) and Mr Peter Scruton on a school trip.
The beautiful thing about learning is
that no one can take it away from you.
B.B. King
Our three young heart throbs – in a girls school not surprising. 🙂
Herr Gumann, Herr Jeurrisen and Herr Schliphak during a school fete.
We never had lessons with Herr Jeurrisen and Herr Schliphak
unfortunately.
and finally me in the morning break around 1977.
We have no school uniforms in Germany.
An investment in knowledge
pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin
I love remembering those days,
we had fun in the breaks, we rollerskated, we played badminton,
we had discussions with good friends.
There were bits we do not want to remember and I don’t,
the good times stay in the memory.
Do you have fun school memories?
