eye patches & little trampolines

[Billy Struthers]

 Anyone  remember in the early 70`s they introduced  a "Lazy Eye " program AS I recall we called it at the time    in primary school ,I remember wearing an eye patch on one eye in class and throwing a mini bean bag at an elevated miniture trampoline and catching it ,great stuff and if you threw it really hard it would fly over your head and hit your mates on the other side ,anyone  remember?

My Brother Paul had to wear an eye patch..... but I think that was in  High School Years..... His headmaster at the time also had a lazy eye, the opposite of Pauls, so Paul always reckoned that he was the only student in the entire school who could look the Principal straight in the eyes....

I remember the eye patches and little trampolines as well as Mrs Castle (or maybe some other teacher) coming to our house and lying on the carpet to demonstrate to my parents how I should be sleeping. Wierd much???
There was also the cross on the blackboard and we had to draw circles with chalk on either side (both hands at once, I think?)
