"School - the worst time of your life?"

I think school is about the worst time in my life not at any other time i Absabloodylotly hated school. Its a bit out of order when you think about it. Youve got no money becoase of school getting in the way of getting a job. no free time Whewn you go home the best of the sun is gone. No wonder there are so many truents out there!

What do you think about this matter?

mixed bag.
i made some truly wonderful friends at school and we're all still pretty close, see each other a coupla times a week.

i quite well at school, certainly as far as exam results go...

but i have to search for those things behind countless memories of humiliation, abuse, bullying, torment, misery and anger. i don't think people who are physically 16 have quite made it there mentally half the time :(

so yes, a lot of the worst times i've ever had, but in meeting who i met, it was also a catalyst for some of the best times as well :)

I could never go back to school after being at college.
It just so agressive - teachers vs. students.

And when I strolled into college at 12, down an empty corridor, I thought, "If this was school, I'd be sh!tting myself right now."

Momma FFF's a teacher - I was talking to her yesterday.
If they let kids wear what they want, let them eat and drink in class and let them smoke in a certain area at break and lunch - there would be 90% less problems.

And she said she wouldn't care if that happened, because it would make everyone's lives a lot easier.

School is the best time of life. No bills to worry about, don't have to worry about getting money, mommy and daddy pay for everything while all you have to do is turn up for around 7 hours a day each weekday and pretend to learn. Sixth form is especially the best or at least it was for me, i hardly went to class just stayed in the common room beating all comers on Half Life/Counter-strike and spending the rest of my time in the gym playing basketball and i still got a A,A,B,C in my exams.

I really do miss those times, won't have it that easy again ever.

The whole point of school is to get an education so that in time you will have the opportunity to go on to Uni and hopefully get qualifications to get a job for life. Why do you need so much money when you are a kid? You're still at home, no bills to pay or mouths to feed. Why have to worry about money so wrong. You seem to miss the point that school for most is a means to an end, and that end is getting a good job with real prospects.

Yes.

Für diejenigen von Ihnen, die sich fragen, wenn ich die Sprache sprechen kann. Gut hier ist Ihre Antwort, ich kann ein kleiner Deutscher sprechen. Das Ding ist ich lernte all das, als ich davon zurückkam, in Deutschland zu leben, und ich dort seit zwei Jahren war.

Yeah, scousers giving me shifty looks all day, great stuff.

For me school was sooo good.

My step dad was in the RAF so we moved from place to place alot. I thought it was going to be really bad moving from school to school but it was great. Apart from the fact that every school teached in different ways and taught different things i was never around to learn one thing hence why i think i am not a bright spark. I think also i just took note of all the fun stuff. Anyway i met many many great people and i even went to germany. Where i went to an english school but the school in Germany had to be the best ever. My school was an hour and a half from where i lived but the fun we had on the bus down there was great. So getting to see everyone at school was heaps of fun everyday. I never once woke up thinking i dont want to go today.

But if you think about it, you wouldnt be where you are today, with out going through the main of school. And then you wouldnt be enjoying your lafe as it is.

But don't you all think that life was so EASY then? Everything was sorted out for you....your Mum got you out of bed in the morning, you didn't have to decide what to wear (we had uniform at our school.....I presume schools still have them?), your timetable was worked out for you, all you had to do was get your ass to the right building at the right time and sit down listening to someone drone on about something they obviously feel strongly about because they went to university to study it enough to teach you!
and the holidays......I now work in a lace where we get 21 days holiday a year....not the 15 weeks we had at school! and you were guaranteed NEVER to have to work the weekend!!

Sod it...I'm getting my satchel and pencil case and I'm going back! and this time I'll learn something!!!!
