Re: 11 plus

I have to say, I have known some very brainy people who were ridiculously thick when it came to common sense.
As someone in an earlier thread observed....the 11+ wasn't the be-all and end all....some of us succeeded despite not having passed.
My problem was that I didn't learn to read until I was 7......I think I had a mild form of dyslexia....but it wasn't recognised then, they just labelled you as 'thicK'
