SCHOOL’S OUT

For Friday Flash 55
And Sunday Scribblings 'Alchemy' - the only way my Dad can explain it!


REPORT

FIRST THE FACTS IN 55

Yesterday, Friday, I finished school for the year and received my end-of-year report.
I came joint third in my class of thirty one pupils.
I’m eight years old in a class of ten and eleven year olds.
Top to bottom, the subjects are as follows:

Thai
Math
Science
Religion
Biology
Art
Technology
English



Here’s my real 55 – ‘based’ on a true story my dad told me about… well, let’s just say… someone he used to know…



THE BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE

At school, he was only weak
In two academic fields
That’s Physics and Chemistry

For most subjects, his Report
Would read (words to the effect):

“His punctuality and
Valuable contribution
Are a credit, much admired
By teachers, classmates alike”

However; the two Black Spots:
One year in particular…

Physics (twenty six percent)
“Lazy!”
Chemistry (just twenty five)
“Idle!”
