AS THE WEATHER becomes more like that typical ‘school tour’ weather, where it’s cloudy and miserable but no longer cold out, it’s very easy to become nostalgic about primary school. Let’s enjoy some nostalgia about how weird the Irish primary school experience is.
1. Kids are very unpredictable. You think you’re going to sit down and have a nice group prayer then someone comes out with this
2. Life was extremely simple
Whoops!

17. The work was so much easier
18. But prepared us for life
19. They could call anything a school tour and everyone would still be happy once they got to go on a bus somewhere
