Ani, I had a teacher like that in Latin at school, Mrs. Frazer. She didn't like me because I was a "Cooncil Hoose" kid, over promoted into her "elite" class which was full of business peoples' and rich farmers' kids. My Dad was a Postman and ex-soldier. She used to mark me down in exams by not counting the points from a couplie questions. When I complained, I was sent to the Headmaster for a belting. I showed him the papers and he summoned Mrs. Frazer. She couldn't have been nicer after that! My Dad said he was proud of me, and that meant more than anything. F--k her Latin nowadays, I don't even include it in my CV.
