Why "Born Sandy Devotional"?
Various school teacher's advice that I remember...
The third critique was by the one-day to be a powerful and successful environmental campaignist amd eventual political leader of the Australian Greens Party, Christine Milne.
She was my long-time English teacher and she warned against me being greedy, or not giving, as best I can express it. They are not her words, just my understanding of what she said.
The final criticism of remembrance, bar one atrocity not to be mentioned here, was given as a rebuke a few times by the inimitable Mr Ewbank.
That sharp rebuke was "shut up, Todd", or words to that effect.
I plead innocent, yet guilty.
What would happen would inevitably be: my class neighbour would talk to me during a lesson and I would respond, to not cause social offense, and Mr Ewbank would sharply call me out on it.
It seems like it's always the one who responds who gets in trouble. Like in a dispute.
On a a more humorous note, in the same class, where entertainment was mostly lacking, the infamous Desmond Garrigan, comedian, soccer devotee and overall swell guy, had the habit of intensely getting under Mr Ewbank's skin. You could call him the class clown or entertainer. Good value.
One day, Des, leaning back on his chair, with only 2 of the 4 legs on the ground, and probably not greatly involved with the lesson being taught was called out harshly by the teacher, who demanded he immediately get off his chair and hold it above his head. After several minutes of this he was asked by Mr Ewbank: what has he learnt?
Answer from Des: "That chairs are heavy."
Freedom fighter to the end.
