Year 6 benches absolute elite but they were so uncomfortable especially if you sat at the end of them either in the gap or those bump things

[@tiny_boi2261]

I remember for some reason, whenever I sat on the benches it was always on 4 of those bump things and I was never allowed to move.

[@cloudyazure]

We had one too many people in our year for the benches, so there was always one year six on the floor

[@kasuari]

tomer altman because my year group was the first ever year group of that school, our beaches system was constantly changing so it was a gamble if you got to sit on the benches in Year 6. It was always a competition to get to assembly early.

[@laurencefraser]

Best part? Legally, they're not the same thing, At All. Anywhere. The Only thing the two acts have in common is that they're illegal... And even that isn't consistent as many countries have (or certainly had at the time) laws that actually made downloading pirated copies of things perfectly legal, under certain conditions (the person Distributing them was usually breaking the law though, one way or another). Usually those conditions amount to "currently own an official copy, and thus a license". Certainly, time and format shifting are/were legal here, and at least for a while DVD players were not only permitted, but to my understanding Required to be capable of bypassing region locks. That was pure corporate propaganda.

[@abim6707]

[@ellaf3877]

We got to use it once a year at the end of half a term of "gymnastics" in years 4,5 and 6. I only got to use it once because in both year 4 and year 6 i had PE on Fridays and I used to skip the last friday of the february half term to go on holiday so I missed my only opportunities.

Ict suite

[@siobhanchampion2692]

We called it the ICT suite

[@b3ntleg]

No we had at least 3 BBC Micros

[@Leenapanther]

In primary school every class room had an additional smaller group room. Ours was filled with PCs and Laptops (around 15). They were basically just used PCs from different brands. Other classes sometimes used that room too. In high school there was a computer lab. Additionally each floor had one laptop wagon, which the teacher had to book at least a week in advance (year 2007 -2010). The laptops were mac computers, the ones in the lab windows. We didn't have an installed over head projector (called Beamer in German) either. The teacher had to book the beamer for one specific lesson. This was 10 years ago, but unthinkable today!

[@unknownregions5014]

Anyone else remember OHP's (Overhead Projectors)? in primary school? I caught a big yellow bus to secondary school, which I found very weird considering thats an american thing, turns out they were imported, How about Art Attack, 50/50, Get Your Own Back, Tracy Beaker, so many kids shows i used to watch on CBBC.

[@CabbageDynamite_Lucy]

OMG! I LOVED 50/50!

[@MrDannyDetail]

Did you have OHP projector duty in assemblies? A different pair of students for each assembly, one to slowly move the plastic sheet in the right direction along the projector to move the words on the big screen (first attempts were always always upside down and back to front, or in long songs the sheet with the last verses would accidentally be put up before the one with the start of the song), the other held the folder where all the lyric sheets were (theoretically) in alphabetical order, and took the new sheet out and replaced the one that had just been used. I remember one of the songs was Tinga-Layo, a song about a donkey, and one of the teachers had drawn a donkey (in a Sombrero I think?) at the time they had written the sheet out, which one of the kids on projector duty had somehow adorned with extra anatomy at some point, so were weren't supposed to allow the bottom part of the sheet with the picture to appear on screen, but the very action of removing the sheet tended to move that part into view for a second anyway, so I think eventually the headmistress had the picture physically cut off the bottom of the sheet. Another song we did in assemblies was a russian song called Kalynka, which goes "Kaylnka, Kalynka, Kalynka my dear, your name is the whisper of pines I can hear". Every instance of the word 'whisper' was always pronounced by all the kids in the school as a sort of sharp whipping noise and a loud hiss (can't really do the noise justice in written form), which is how our head teacher had taught us the song. He had also written his own verses for some of the other songs, referencing the teachers etc, "The whole class was a trembling, when in came Mr Embling, he was looking rather cross, Swindon Town had just lost, did you ever see....". By the time I reached year 5 he had been replace by a headmistress who banned the school-specific verses of songs, the picture of the donkey I mentioned above, and the 'whisper' sound in Kalynka, although we all continued to make that noise anyway, despite her telling us off each time, as she couldn't really punish 200+ kids.

[@laurencefraser]

OHPs were totally a thing when I was in primary school. (Still had blackboards too) The church I went to at the time also used one. ... I vaguely recall one being used occasionally at intermediate school too. Highschool it was all printouts instead.

[@LiamS94]

A bug got trapped under the glass on our school's OHP once, which we all found really funny, so we all got shouted at by the headmistress for "giggling during hymn practice".

I remember when the grass was cut on the playing field and all the children in my primary school would collect the cut up grass from the field and build nests and if you weren't careful another group or class would try to steal some of your grass - things would break up in full of grass war anarchy.

[@lilyliz3071]

Everyone in my school was too poor for lelli kellies so we had the ones from clarkes with the toys in the heels, and idk if this was just my primary school but we were only allowed unhealthy snacks at break on Fridays , they were banned the rest of the week. Also my primary school only had one main hall so you do indoor p.e. (In your plimsolls kids) and eat in the same place , they just put out pop up tables and chairs for lunch so sitting on the benches in year 6 was luxury because you didn’t have to sit on all the squashed peas and shit on the floor that the cleaners had missed. And don’t even get me started on the massive p.e. climbing frame that you only ever got out once in your entire school life bc the teachers could never be arsed to set it up. Oh and one last thing , wether you had a tiny cut or were dying of terminal cancer , the first aid lady always gave you a wet paper towel as a cure.

[@therealmckoy6772]

[@kathleenterry5176]

Idk if this is everywhere, but where I live in the US, the school bus doesn’t pick you up/ drop you off at your house, you have an assigned location within walking distance from your house that you share as a bus stop with several other people from your neighborhood. But even this took a pretty long time

[@toroallin5734]

I had a 10-15 minute walk to my bus stop down my own road and then also down the highway. It really sucked. My bus ride was about an hour long and 3 busses had to do approximately the same route to get all the kids. And they expected you to be there 10 minutes before the scheduled time to catch the bus but most the time the bus was like 5-30 minutes late. Uhhh buses suck.

In primary the teacher had a computer and some very luck classes, usually P6/7 would have an extra computer at the back, but we had a trolley with loads of laptops and you were practically a God if you were a laptop monitor(making sure all the laptops were plugged into the charger)

Evan has never been to a playground with wood chips? I’m American and my elementary school playground had wood chips.

[@mxxnluv3r]

same! even parks around the neighborhood were the same

[@albanne1454]

We had the Diddl papers in France too! Every month we had something different to trade from marbles to beyblades and those weird rubberbands that were animal-shaped. But Diddl was very popular and I mean the kids would bring full binders during recess to trade the papers. And we also had the anti piracy ad that terrified a lot of us.

7:34 I just had a flashback to when we used to make things out of grass and sticks in primary school (Australian) like bracelets and stuff and sell them for acorns. People would have to go find acorns and give them to us. we'd make a little collection of them. Some people tried selling real things for acorns or plant-made things for real money but it got shut down quickly.

I remember just having SO much fun as a kid! I would go rollerblading around the block, and play baseball and street hockey with the neighborhood kids in the summer...I also remember entertaining myself for hours drawing on the driveway with sidewalk chalk, and scraping my ankle once or twice playing SkipIt, lol...

We had the «YOU WOULDNT STEAL A CAR» thing at the start of DVDs too, in Norway! I saw a dvd once recently and got so nostalgic

this has triggered a deep sense of deja vu that i owned Diddl paper when i was younger (not knowing that's what it was called)

9:18 in year 5 someone decided to add vegetables to the pizza base hoping all the children wouldnt notice, before they weren't good but after it was what you got if you got in last and that was all that was left.

"wooden chips" lol in Germany we call them "Rindenmulch" so there's an extra word for it and in my opinion it's a very ugly word 😂

[@hannah-gracefrazier2343]

Mulch?

[@lucasbecerra3355]

We call it bark in the USA

I remember the first time bark appeared in the playgrounds. A huge improvement compared to the concrete slabs that used to be under swings, slides and climbing frames.

My favourite part about 'You wouldn't steal a car' is that apparently the people who made the music sued them for it as they made it to only be shown in front of music festivals or other events

7:26 omg you just reminded me about this whole obsession with collecting and trading those paper cards from like 2007~2008. Sooooooo many kids would have their albums full with those and if you had multiples you would trade with friends. I have forgotten most of the designs but it was all about what was popular at the time like anime, dogs, cats, disney princesses etc. ^^ such a nostalgia edit: btw i'm from Poland

We didn't have friday pizza days because school was always a half-day on Fridays, so we finished at 12 or 12.30, however, those who were entitled to free school meals had the chance to go and get a packed lunch from the dinner hall, and sometimes they had a pizza slice in them.

I cannot express how much I LOVE horrible histories

[@ChiaraW]

I'm from Switzerland. We didn't have assenblys, except for concerts, I didn't even know that was a thing until I started watching american shows. Also most students in elementary and secondary school go home to eat lunch at 12:00 and go back to school at 13:30. There aren't any cafeterias until you get to a higher level. For kids, who can't go home, because there is noone there ovrt lunchtime, most places have an organisation where the parents can sign their kid up for lunch and they'd just go there insted of home
