Geronimo1967
Young Ralph takes exactly the same view as most of us did at school when we were children. We were usually bored - especially when it came to arithmetic. Those repetitious times tables, or improbably complex calculations that brought on an ennui - before we even knew that was a word - that just encourage day dreaming. This young lad has quite a vivid imagination that seems to tap into what ever punishment the teacher has for his lack of attention, especially when she decides to put him in the corner and he turns into Jack Dempsey. Its good fun this with our hero, despite his grade C, proving he is much more of the Errol Flynn than the model student and maybe, just maybe, educating people, parrot-fashion isnt the best of techniques.
