I started school in 1955. By the time I had started my secondary education, the concept of using corporal punishment as a tool for learning had all but gone (apart from Scotland) as was cruelty. Fortunately, I failed my 'Eleven Plus' exam and attended a brand new secondary modern school in Cornwall with excellent teachers. It was just unfortunate that I was too stupid and slow to learn anything, but the art of boxing, which thankfully was still an extra curriculum sporting option and made my educational experience tolerable.

@robertreynolds580 Probably the biggest barrier to education is the absence of the desire to learn. Unfortunately, many teachers excel in ensuring the desire remains absent.
