| I've never heard anyone say any different. I thought it was obvious but, some people I guess are kind of ignorant. |

| I agree, I would only add that it was also a more general ridicule of the teaching system in England at the time. I'm not sure if things have improved but I know that the United States has some similar problems in its public system. From my own personal experience I can recall many kind, loving, role model types but several (one especially) who fits the stereotype set forth in "The Wall" very well. |

| According to what I know about that, the Education system in England has still encountered many problems and important reforms, even after "The Wall". It was a major issue at the end of the 1970s and the alternance of the parties at the head of the government destabilized it more and more. What is most interesting about that is the division of the education in 3 ditinct sectors from the elite with rammar schools to the technical ones... Roger wasn't totally wrong. |

| I forgot what I really wanted to say in the last message !!!!!! Strangely, I think that the Lyrics of "the happiest days of our lives" are essential to understand "another brick in the wall (part 2)". It really adds to the striking effects of the lyrics of the 2nd song. "The happiest..." seems to show the causes and "another brick..." , the consequences. Maybe I mistake. |

| I agree, those two songs definitely compliment each other. They should always be heard together (which i think they are they are just called: another brick in the wall, more generally.) |

| "Yeah I went to rotten school...who didn't ?" Applies to me as well. |
