I wasn't thick at school, just a bit mischievous, disinterested and a little bit lazy. Homework was something I simply didn't do, and a good proportion of my detentions were for not doing homework, or for being caught lying about why I hadn't done my homework.
Of course teachers just saw a young lad with average grades who mucks about a lot - a candidate for being held back.
So it was to my utmost amusement that I found my old German voacabulary book the other day. There was one - and only one - entry in it. Sitzen Bleiben - to stay down a year. I almost wish I had been kept back, just for the irony of it.
