Re: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword
Like you, I had an enquiring mind,(still have) but could not read until I was seven(it was all greek to me) but once i could read I made up for lost time.
I was sensible enough to know that inquisitiveness was not really valued at school, but it was alright at home.
I liked school, but there were times when the teachers scared me, but I don't quite know why, as I was only subjected to corporal punishment there the once.
The teachers were very authoritarian(maybe it was that).
