I saw on the local news over the weekend that Penyrheol Comprehensive School in Gorseinon had been set on fire, now I never actually attended that school but had spent a bit of time there when I was younger and there was one disastrous visit to the swimming pool that shares the grounds with it. Of course you have to feel sorry for all those pupils who worked hard on their coursework to see it all go up in smoke. I’m not sure how the system will work, what grades will they get for work that will never be sent off to get graded. I would guess that their teachers would have to give it a grade.

Talking of schools. I took a walk around the grounds of my old school the other week and have to say that I was more than a little disappointed. As I was walking around the field something did not feel quite right about it, it finally dawned on me that in the time since I had left they had done a lot of work to the grounds and that is why they did not seem quite as I remembered. The one thing that I did notice rather sadly was the amount of litter, in my day there was always litter patrols and a pride in the school. Maybe this came to an end last July when Dr. Evans the headmaster and most of the senior staff left the school when it merged.
