Hi Carol, I know just what you mean. I had more or less the same. I was always put at the back of the class where I couldn't see the board, couldn't hear mush. In those days if you were not grammar school material they gave up on you and put you at the back of class and treat you as though you didn't exist. What made it worst for me was that I was born with a full cleft palate and couldn't talk properly till I was 15 years old. So thrown on the scrap heap. But with all you lovely girls I'm making up for it now. Hehehehheehe. love Malcolm. xxxxxxx
