School days: Hated them or loved them?
Hated. Couldn't wait to get out. Left school at 16 and never looked back.

1. Loved them
Wish I could go back. :bounce:

Ah, what it was like to be an undergrad! Good times.

HS was very fun as well.

3. I'm with you...
Good friends, good times and I loved learning. High school, college and even my middle school years were wonderful positive experiences for me which might explain my desire to get my teaching certificate one of these days.

5. I liked the academics and learning
Edited on Thu Mar-29-07 03:26 PM by mvd
Didn't like the homework, getting up early, or some of the kids and teachers. Overall, it was just ok.

6. I loved school except for the last 3 yrs.
I couldn't wait to get out on my own and start life for real. It didn't help that I didn't like the town or the people in the town where I went to high school. That explains why I now live over 2000 mi from where I grew up and will never go back.

7. I had a pretty good time from HS on
And my Undergraduate experience was incredibly good, enriching, challenging, the best years of my youth. Knox College is indeed a college that changed my life - and it needed it at the time.....

8. Loved them. Most of senior year, I could skip three hours
without anyone noticing (study hall- independent study- study hall).
Admittedly, it was not school, but the hours outside of it that I enjoyed.
So much freedom, so little responsibilty!

9. So-so
Grammar school was fun up until the 6th grade. We moved to another city and let's just say if had "Carrie's" powers that school would have burnt down.

Jr High pretty much sucked. Same city as 6th grade. But my sweet revenge was in the boys locker room in 7th grade. All the little fuckers that called me a "faggot" and shit like that, were a little shocked when I got undressed for gym. Ya see, I was WAY into puberty by then and most of the bullies from the 6th grade were not even close. Some of their mouths actually DROPPED.
I shoved my bizness in my jock and stutted my ass out to the gym.

High School was fun. I went to two different schools (we had moved again and then my parents divorced and we moved back home to Bakersfield). Both of my high schools were fun and I didn't have to up with any (or little) bullshit. In my first HS, I hung out with mostly girls (duh?) and a lot of them were the cheerleader types. But they weren't snots. They were all off the chain crazy mothersfucker. All the jock type guys didn't fuck with me, because they all wanted to get to know all my homegirls. My second HS was different. I had a great group of friends but we were more of the stoner types. The cheerleader and jock types at this school were mostly the stereotype snotty rich brats. But our class president was the bomb. She was cool and always hung out with everyone. She was the prefect prez.

All in all it was fun.

10. Depends which school days you're referring to.
Loved college. Hated everything before that.

11. Most of it was incredibly boring to me
Seemed like the teachers taught to the dumbest kids and anyone with half a brain was bored stiff. Discovered pot and alcohol at about 15 - that made it more interesting anyway.

Left halfway through my senior year to move out of my house and go to work. Loved college, though.
