    No. I was a "gifted" child and was at a substantially higher level of intellect than the other kids. I never had social problems, but I remember when I was as young as seven years old I had to dumb myself down in order to fit in. I was always bored in my classes. I was a quick learner and never struggled with my work. Probably up until my senior year in high school, I would sit in class and think, "I can't believe these people are actually able to function in life." School was honestly torture for me - I had little interest in the subjects and felt as if I was going brain dead just sitting in classes staring off into space while somehow maintaining high grades.
    I also found 90% of teachers to be either immature assholes or so stupid that I doubted they would even be able to pass their own classes.

    Yes, but at the time i didn't realise how good school actually was, and that i was creating memories with my friends that will never be forgotten

    I miss being around loads of people my age and spending every day with friends, the occasional intellectual challenge, praise for doing well, certain teachers, lack of responsibility, half terms and the summer holidays.

    I don't miss exams, having to learn some very uninspiring, useless things, certain teachers, some of the kids, most of the homework / coursework.

    I loved school as a kid! I used to get up wanting to go to school, wouldn't miss a day. When i'd get sick i'd cry and beg my mum to let me go to school, that i was ok and couldn't miss a day xD I'd like it because it was a way to see my friends and get to play.

    I remember skipping one day in year 7 and then i started to get a bit annoyed with school. Once i moved to highschool i loved it again but then i moved country and never fully enjoyed school again..

            It is what it is i guess. Where i live, it's a very traditional place where everyone kinda knows everyone..

              I bet that can be annoying sometimes. Everybody knowing everybody's business and stuff... It's not all bad though I'm sure :)

    The best part of school was leaving those double doors and knowing I was never going to return. It was a piss-hole that has left me and a lot of other students with a lot of mental scars.

    For the most part school was alright, i went through a tough patch from 12-13, i got pretty bad depression from bullying about my gender (you know you go to a shit school when even the teachers start bullying you, go figure.) I was at a point when i hated myself that much that i was cutting myself on a daily basis just to make it through another day, bad times.
    Eventually though, moved schools, got some therapy, and enjoyed it until i finished 2yrs ago, if i could go back to my last secondary school and spend another week there, i would, it was such a laugh and piss take, i didn't realise how easy it was and how the days were comparatively shorter to college days (at school, i did 5 days a week, from 8:30 to 2:50, and would get home around 3:10, at college i do 4 days a week, from 9/10 am to 3:25/4:25, and i get home around 6pm)
    Don't get me wrong, i love college too, but i do miss school.

    I been to multiple schools and I use to get in fights a lot. When they say school is a prison mine really was. It had racial segregation, you had to have a gang to survive, We were all viewed as prisoners and useless even if we did nothing wrong, and fighting was something that could not be avoided, in detention we had ways of sneaking information to each other, I don't know how anyone was expected to learn in these conditions, if kids started using gum as money I would not be surprised. Public school is complete shit.

    It was okay. I've always had friends and good times. It wasn't like as fun as Disney land everyday but I had my moments. I enjoyed it for the most part but I sure hope those weren't "the best years of my life"

    Hated it with a passion. School is archaic and counter-productive. Khanacademy ftw.

      Big surprise there! If you'd done your school and homework instead of hanging out with your loser friends, maybe your comments wouldn't so full of grammatical errors! Everyone makes the occasional error when typing, but you can't even compose a freaking sentence!

    It was my sanctuary away from my family, in a sense.

    I enjoyed learning and I made a great group of friends at school. However, I was also a victim of bullying, and crumbled under the stress of performing well in school. So it was so-so, I'm glad I attended and received and education that'll help me later in life though.

  • I LOVED school growing up! It's where I could see all of my friends and be around adults who didn't frighten or beat me. And they had a huge room chocked *full* of books!
