I refute that allegation totally. How dare you suggest I've done some growing up. I'm 40 now and still have a mind like a playgroup.
Actually the key to my FE success was, I think, being treated as an adult which led to greater respect for my lecturers and greater acceptance of my own responsibility. Some (not all) of my school teachers were plonkers, including my form tutor who amazingly gets me back on topic by virtue of once telling me and my dad that he'd rather I came to school in black shorts rather than the cords I was wearing cos my school trousers were worn out (and I only had a few weeks to go and my dad was buggered if he was going to buy me a new pair).
