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 .

May be we should have debate to find out if the teacher student relationship is is stronger or has taken a beating.
An inhouse event.What do you say Sir?
Some of the best times of my life still have Bishops and the lads (and all of the teachers and staff) etched firmly in them - Suhail
