It's the circle of 5ths right? But I learned that as an adult. I never, ever did homework though. My resistance was deep and primal and led to much we all would have been better off without.

I think we are all simply running at different, varying speeds over our own invisibly undulating terrain and it can be hard on both sides when there isn't enough space provided for the necessary manoeuvres (wow, try and spell "manoeuvres"!)

And yes, it is the 5ths, but I know it as the order of sharps and flats for each key signature :)

I received corporal punishment several times for not doing all or part of my homework.

I know later, in matric and at university this perversity in not doing my homework made exams very stressful and my results less than my teachers said I could've got "if you'd only done the homework".

Ah, I am given to be sloth-like. And now retired it is so lovely!
