For me, it depended on the subject. I was a total swot in Geography
and German, which I liked, and the complete opposite in Maths, which
I loathed (for much of the time). In Geography, a kid called Tony
and I sat at the same two desks at the front of the class for about
four years. In Maths, however, there was a row of three of us at the
back who used to pass each other notes in a little notebook.
Tom, for the record there are 8 threads in the School category, none
of them started by me (2 by Ally, 1 by sundar, 1 by N., 1 by Petra, 1
by anthony, 1 by Ned and 1 by Gareth!).

i've always been shit at actual swotting/revising for exams -- i just
never got the hang of it, and don't have the self discipline to put
in the time. BUT, i was a swot/spod. i always did the work, i didn't
get in much trouble, i ENJOYED learning (maths and science at least),
i could string a sentence together, i felt bad for not finishing
homework (twat). i can only remember getting in trouble a few times.

I was preceived as a swot...but really I wasn't putting any effort
into my homework. Worst of both worlds.

The only times I can think of when I wasn't sitting at the back were
when I was thrown out of class.

"Swotting away for teacher like a total SPAZMO?!"
