None. I was very bright and did well at Junior school (usually at or near the top of the class in exams) and achieved a scholarship for a Direct Grant Grammar School. My mother declined the place as she would have had to pay for unaffordable equipment. Instead I went to the local Grammar School and hated it for many reasons, but (maths apart) I actually loved the lessons.
When I was in my early teens I had moved to live with my dad. He refused the school’s offer an education grant of £2 a week that would have allowed me to stay on at school and insisted that I leave school and get a job as he needed the money.
So I left school at 15 with no qualifications, but never stopped learning (still a lifelong learner now) and later on put myself through college and university. None of my siblings went into Higher Education and all my sisters achieved careers that paid far better than mine, but in the family I am still referred to as ‘the clever one’. 🥴🤪
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
