Obviouslyot there when Mr Swan was given the belt by a pupil, as the belt was being banned. Would loved to have been the one giving it to him. He loved dishing it out and chucking dusters at you.

Maple Leaf Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 As we have many high school grads on this thread, even some from prestigious schools, help me out with a wee arithmetic question that was posed to me this morning. I was (am) poor at arithmetic. If five cats can kill five rats in five minutes, how many cats would be needed to kill 100 rats in 100 minutes? Please identify your school with your answer, so we can judge if the school ratings are accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that in general it is a good showing from Edinburgh schools it seems to be mainly West centric. In those days, the top class in First Year was drawn mainly from pupils all over Edinburgh winning a scholarship (like me). These days, the Royal High is just another High School serving its local catchment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
