This one definitely not just once. It was at primary school, middle school and finally secondary school.
I never fully accepted it. Especially seeing some of the shits that are at pro level! (Doesn't help having a few friends playing semi pro level)
What the hell is middle school?
A school between primary and secondary?
I was at primary from year 1 to year 3, then years 4 to 7 were middle school...
I then joined secondary school in year 8.
American.
Nope... I'm definitely English hence Secondary School and not High School.
From Wiki:
In England, local education authorities introduced middle schools in the 1960s and 1970s. The notion of Middle Schools was mooted by the Plowden Report of 1967 which proposed a change to a three-tier model including First schools for children aged between 4 and 7, Middle Schools for 7–11 year-olds, and then upper or high schools for 11–16 year-olds.[23] Some authorities introduced Middle Schools for ideological reasons, in line with the report, while others did so for more pragmatic reasons relating to the raising of the school leaving age in compulsory education to 16, or to introduce a comprehensive system.[24][25] Different authorities introduced different age-range schools, although in the main, three models were used: 4–6 First schools, followed by 7–11 middle schools, as suggested by Plowden 5–9 First schools, followed by 9–13 middle schools 5–10 First schools followed by 10–13 middle schools, or intermediate schools In many areas primary school rather than first school was used to denote the first tier. In addition, some schools were provided as combined schools catering for pupils in the 5–12 age range as a combined first and middle school.[24] Around 2000 middle and combined schools were in place in the early 1980s. However, that number began to fall in the later 1980s with the introduction of the National Curriculum. The new curriculum's splits in Key Stages at age 11 encouraged the majority of local education authorities to return to a two-tier system of Primary (sometimes split into Infant schools and Junior schools) and Secondary schools.[26] There are now fewer than 150 middle schools still operational in the United Kingdom, meaning that approximately 90% of middle schools have closed or reverted to primary school status since 1980. The system of 8-12 middle schools has fallen into complete disuse.[27] Under current legislation, all middle schools must be deemed either primary or secondary. Thus, schools which have more primary year groups than KS3 or KS4 are termed deemed primaries or middles-deemed-primaries, while those with more secondary-aged pupils, or with pupils in Y11 are termed deemed secondaries or middles-deemed-secondaries. For statistical purposes, such schools are often included under primary and secondary categories "as deemed".[28] Notably, most schools also follow teaching patterns in line with their deemed status, with most deemed-primary schools offering a primary-style curriculum taught by one class teacher, and most deemed-secondary schools adopting a more specialist-centred approach. Legally all-through schools are also considered middle schools (deemed secondary), although they are rarely referred to as such. Some middle schools still exist in various areas of England. They are supported by the National Middle Schools' Forum. See List of middle schools in England.

I went to a Middle school too. It’s become a secondary now though.

I had Infants years 0-2 Juniors 3-6 Secondary 7-11
Not being chosen for the gig in the school play, and instead of being Ali Baba I had to make do with being one of his 40 thieves and also double up as a jar. My 'Open Sesame' was able to wipe the floor with the kid who got the part, but my teachers didn't recognise true talent. Bastards.
Back to school plays... I got the title gig for a play in junior school. My big break. Except, the play was called "the lost sheep" so I wasn't actually in it.

I had a good voice when I was a kid and got cast in the lead role of our junior school play (can't remember what it was called)

Having to go indoors before the other kids at night because our mum worked night shift at The Brook Hospital and our old man was nowhere to be seen.
When you got a brand new leather football for Christmas and the painted coating came off after a couple of months and when the ball got wet it weighed a tonne and would almost knock you out if you headed it.
When you heard the ice cream van come down onto the estate but by the time you scrounged some money and went out there you saw the back end of it disappearing down the hill.
that last paragraph
that never leaves you man, I'm a grown man careering towards middle age and I still leap out of whatever vessel I'm inevitably slumped in when I hear the dulcet match of the day theme hailing down the road. I preferred the guy where I used to live who sold drugs and occasionally a 99 because at least he would stop long enough to serve up either. the reading bastard now just zims past and I'm confident, laughs at me running out in my pants and socks only for him to roll by

What the hell is middle school?
Once upon a time, before personal computers, mobile phones etc, kids were a lot smarter and able to think for themselves and what used to happen is after only a couple of years of infants school (or the first level of school) they were intelligent enough to be graduated up to a middle level or junior school where they spent 4 years before going on to grammar or secondary schools. Nowadays it takes kids 6 years to progress to the next level which they call high school, possibly so named because they are shorter than the kids of yesteryear who benefited physically from the bottle of free school milk they were given in class each morning (later stopped by Thatcher the milk snatcher).
Anyway, back to the original thread, what disappointed me as a kid (OK, a young lad by then) was Peter Bonetti being picked instead of Gordon Banks in the match against West Germany, a game where we threw away a 2-0 lead and things haven’t been the same since apart for a certain 5–1 win of course
Ah yeah - school plays. I was picked to play the emperor in Aladdin. The first time the school had veered away from the traditional nativity. Then I came down with chicken pox two days before and wasn't able to perform. Had the bastard itchy spots all over Christmas too...
The Disney film Fantasia. I think it was the first film I saw as a kid at the cinema and all I remember was dinosaurs. This would have been early 80s. Anyway, it came out on video and the whole family nagged my dad to get it. He did.
Sometimes watched Brighton play and often got players autographs. Very disappointed with Souness and Dalglish rushed out to a car without signing one autograph. Not liked them since.
Biggest disappointment was that fifa and the ref never reinstated England after the hand of god goal I couldn’t understand why after it was on every tv news channel what had happened how when I woke up we wouldn’t be reinstated

I'm the one standing to the left of the bucket:

Or was it found out after the game that Bonetti was ill?
My god I had no recollection it was like that.
Take Hart not showing my picture
Not getting on Jim'll fix it
Would be someone from Croydon. No doubt a homesdale fanatic
I wanted to visit Jodrell Bank, which could very easily have been misconstrued. Definitely a dodged bullet.
