The pencil holding compass, I remember them well.

Now you've sent me off looking for protractors...

Sticking very much to brief this week. Another memory of early school days - the boxwood ruler.

Every parent's nightmare. A lot of those who are grandparents now, had nightmares from this character back in the day.

Apparently Robert Helpmann who played the "Child Catcher" loved children. His two child co-stars are said to have described him as such good fun that it was hard for them to play frightened of him.

That's nice Ben. I downloaded several old school desks but didn't find anything interesting enough to do with them. I like the Wes Anderson composition.

Thanks David, The desk is made from bits & pieces. I left one off - hence the second image. Also hadn't colour matched. Originally was just the two girls - even more Wes style.

Well I'm going to be difficult here and say I actually prefer the desk without the addition.

Oh God! I'd forgotten social distancing already ......... and I did a whole slew of of SD images during lockdown.

Shouldn't they be on a two metre long skateboard?

Not everyone participated in SD. Stretching the skateboard would have been amusing, but I simply didn't think of it.

What other classroom implements could be enlarged to further protect the schoolchildren from motorists?


Aiming to avoid yet another ‘Silly Season’ I racked my brain cell trying to find a suitable classroom implement, big or small. And failed.
Motorists who mount the pavement at speed are usually drunk, or the most revolting kind of terrorist. Children, on the other hand, sometimes run onto the road and get themselves knocked down. Every parent’s nightmare.
This week’s FC has a big ugly fence, presumably the school fence, and although not ‘classroom’ it can still be seen as an ‘implement’. In the right place it would keep the children off the road and the motorists off the pavement.

Nothing quite like bubblegum and skateboards after school.
