Lucy Jackman (25): "I hated school,

Lucy Jackman (25): "I hated school, absolutely loathed and detested it. I enjoyed two or three of my primary
years, actually but that was all.
"I left school at the earliest possible moment. .."
"At seven, I went to a convent school for a couple of years and I think it was that which did me a lot of damage. I
was a weekly boarder but it wasn't at all like I'd imagined, I remember begging my mother to let me go because
I thought it'd be packed with midnight feasts and adventures - just like my Enid Blyton books. But how wrong I
was. It was hard work and not much fun.
"One night, when we were all settled down in bed, a nun came into our dormitory and told us that we'd burn in
hell if we told lies. What a thing to say to a bunch of kids. In fact, it was my convent experience that gave me
problems in adolescence. I got very hung up about religion, was always asking God for forgiveness - and I also
developed a guilt complex! "I used to go down on my knees in the street to say I was sorry for something, but I'd
always pretend I was doing up my shoelace. But then I even used to feel guilty about that, wondering if I was
ashamed of praying. On top of all that, I had compulsions - I'd have to do everything three times just to make
sure I didn't make mistakes. "At the age of eleven, I went to an ordinary grammar school, and I loathed that,
too. I just couldn't take all the discipline because it seemed so incredibly petty. How could I be expected to take
them all seriously when they freaked out if your hat wasn't worn at a certain angle on your head? I just couldn't
have respect for people like that.
"I was always rebelling — my name was constantly on the blackboard: 'Will Lucy Jackman please see the
headmistress'. For some strange reason, though, the head seemed to be fond of me. Obviously, she had to tell
me off frequently, but I always sensed that she liked me and, therefore, hated handing out the lectures. "My
English teacher had a soft spot for me too, but I tried hard for her because composition was my favourite
subject. From a very young age, I'd always wanted to be a journalist -and I think she had hopes for me.
However, she was also my form mistress and I know I used to drive her round the bend occasionally.
"My other love at school was music, but the mistress in charge was the Deputy Head and she couldn't stand the
sight of me. I really wanted to join the school choir but, as a punishment she decided that I wouldn't be allowed
to. It's quite sad, really - if she'd given me some encouragement, I would have put a lot of effort into that and
perhaps gone on with it in some way. She was a dragon, that woman. For a detention, she once said, 'Right,
from the moment I choose to clap my hands, you are not allowed to move a muscle'. I had to sit absolutely still
for forty minutes. One day, I was given a load of lines to do but I refused. It had finally dawned on me that there
was nothing she could do about it. Once you stop being frightened of teachers, there's no way they can hurt you
and, of course, they realize that.
"I left school at the earliest possible moment, without any O-Levels or anything, but I certainly don't regret it. As
my mother said, anything I want to learn I can find out from books. I did become a journalist, too, and I really
love my work. I didn't need GCEs to do it, but I did need drive and determination. Fortunately, these were
things I was born with, and not taught."
Jillian Hall(23): "I don't remember a bad moment from my schooldays - they were certainly a lot happier than
my working life has been. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it yet. School to me was my family, if you know
what I mean, and I really miss the security of those familiar faces.
"School to me was my family..."
"Because I'm quite small, I was always babied and, maybe because I didn't present any threat to anyone, I got
on with almost everybody - teachers and pupils alike. But, as a result, I'm now virtually incapable of looking
after myself. "I'm absolutely hopeless at making decisions. I can't even decide what to wear in the mornings.
Everything, right along the line, was decided for me, even my career. My class mistress thought I ought to go
into a bank, and that's just what I've done."Thinking back on it, my school was pretty bad like that. They never
really encouraged people to think for themselves. They worked on this great team spirit thing, which eventually
suffocated the majority of individualistic instincts. One girl just wouldn't conform, though, but she was thrown
out.
"I didn't work particularly hard - there didn't seem to be any real need. I always muddled through, scraped by
somehow. I just didn't have any incentive to slog my guts out. Anyway, I think I was my form teacher's pet and so
she never got cross with me.
"I come from a very large family and I often felt rather left out, so maybe that's why school was so important to me.
When I first went there, I was always doing my best to please people, to ge
