Almost every day I have a chat with at least two old boys on FB - I have about 1600 of them as friends ! Its nostalgic the way we remember things that happened way back between 1981 - 2001 . We chat about past and present times, share funny anecdotes and they tell me stuff they did back in time ( and I never knew ) - like getting out of school at night to go to a movie or to a restaurant and getting back - bypassing locked gates / watchmen etc . We discuss school events and functions .( Another secret- I am quite colour blind but surprisingly I remember the house of a number of boys !!) Many are married so they tell me about their families and with immense pride about becoming dads . I have said this before and I dare to say it again - times have definitely changed . Not sure if others in the education field will agree or not .
While the pupils are still sweet and affectionate - the bond seems to be missing somehow . Life seems to have become too fast and somehow the teacher pupil relationship has taken a beating . I could be wrong and your comments are welcome . But boys from Bishops were a class apart and till today - very rarely do they LET THEIR COLOURS FALL . Cheers and God bless .Lovely to be in touch .
