I was always put in the "deaf spot" when I was at school -- it was called

Thanks, Brendan.  Reminds me of a line from a Victoria Wood play, when a grumpy
old lady, played by Thora Hird, says
"In my day we didn't have dyslexia; we had children sat at the back of the room
doing raffia."

If the "deaf spot" is real, perhaps we'd better not make the children aware of
it as the smarter ones will be claiming they didn't hear because they were in
that bit of the room - which will finish up being every square inch of the
classroom!

I think it's getting to me already, after only three days back in school!
