[QUOTE="Deleted member 182154, post: 1147258"] One day just after spellings in Primary 2 I was picked from the class & met in the Head's office by my mother and two pleasant looking (if slightly dusty) elderly ladies. I was informed I was going with the three for a chat and to do some fun puzzles. We packed into an equally dusty mini which was then dangerously driven by Dusty Old Lady no. 1 to Belvoir Fever Hospital in Belfast. I spent a wonderful two hours reading and explaining passages aloud to my captive audience, followed by a short break of lemon puff biscuits & buttermilk - a particular favourite of mine. One hour of simple quadratic equations later and my mother and I were in a taxi home, not back to school. "Don't mention this to your father" was the slightly fearful & intense urging of my darling mother. I returned to school the following day to find I had been moved to Primary 5 & subsequently stayed two years ahead of my peers until Upper Sixth. My father never noticed this. I remain confident that he never knew about any of the six monthly puzzle fun outings which continued until I was twelve. Would you rather be overlooked or underestimated? [/QUOTE]
