[Closed] BBC Countryfile- school bit

I was lucky enough to enjoy such a school, was fantastic driving tractors round and looking after animals during school lessons.

Yes, it would have been very cool.

I spent a significant chunk of my childhood [s]slave labouring[/s] helping out on my cousins livestock small holding.

Happy memories tbh, and I suspect with a little push that a school farm would have given my life would have been very different.

Just realised I owe some tax for that track resurfacing I did when I was 12. Do you pay tax at that age?

Im a criminal tax dodging scumbag aren't i? 😳

I was trying to trace down an old book about a school farm, it was written by the teacher about how he built up the department and him and the kids used to go sheep and pig showing etc. Anyone remember it? Probably 15 or 20 years ago I read it...

Nothing new really, just under....can't think of the word!
I left school in February 1972 (nineteen seventy two) & we had a teacher who promoted horticulture, we had a class called 'rural studies' which was awesome, I think we had a small greenhouse & a potting shed. This was at a 1970's secondary modern school.

My sons secondary school has a small small holding. Local farm gives them some piglets and they grow them on before the farm takes them back and returns them as bacon.

I won the young fish farmer of the year award for my primary school 😀

Ours got closed last year and everyone laid off due to budget cuts. Sucks big time

Edit: just went to see if its online as missed it, it isnt yet but..
