I went to Catholic school. I hated it. It seems to be a job requirement for school teachers in this country to hate children.

School-Did You Like It, Or Hate It?
- Thread starter Mitchell
- Start date
School... childhood memories would be 1000 times sweeter if I could have foregone going to school. I was a jock and had a fair amount of friends but I hated school! My parents would rag my fucking ass no matter whether it was straight A's (elementary up until they started assigning homework) or failing grade 9. I had nightmares for at least 5 years after I quit that I was still in school! Every morning I would wake up ultra relieved.
btw... I wasn't fond of school.

I was the losers' loser
Junior year kids got to be in their group yearbook photos with whoever they wanted. I wound up in the photo with the other losers no one invited to be in their group pictures. But even among that lowest level, I was the low man.

Interesting thread, so i'll comment.
Elementary: I would say that I had the most enjoyable time here. I wan in from 1993-1999 BTW. Anyway, I would use to go on field trips so much that I could write about each and every one. back then, kids weren't little shits like they are now, yadda yadda yadda. If there ever was a Elementary school reunion, i would go...
Middle School: Let me begin by saying that I had to repeat the 6th grade, and boy was that fun..Anyway, really the only thing I hated were these 2 teachers. My 6th grade math teacher who was also my teacher for my second grade year. And My first 6th grade english teacher, who was also my 8th grade english teacher. I did not like those 2. So many words I can say, but that will be for another day. Other than that, middle school was a tolerable experience. Go to class, do work, talk to your classmates. Also, we had this thing called aturday academy, where for 4 hours on saturday mornings in the second half of the year ( To prepare for EOCs) we would go and we basically did work. this didn't happen every saturday mind you, but I liked it because of the fact that it was a relaxed setting than what it usually was during the week. also helped back then you didn't have much to worry about. No jobs, no bills to worry about. You could actually relate and talk to the teachers...I didn't care that it was on a saturday. Many more stories will follow, but they will come at a later time..
High School: If there was a word to describe this place, This post would not be PG-13. anyway, it was a crap experience. Yeah, there were a few teachers in my chool that really cared and wanted to teach us, but the others were only there for a paycheck, as I suspected. The food was terrible, and there were fights at least once every month. If there was a reunion, i will not be attending..

I hated high school like most. I grew up in the inner city and moving to a very homogenous school wasn't easy. I didn't fit into what my stereotype should be. I didn't act like everyone else that looked like me. I was an outcast in my honors classes. I was the "nice" guy. I was the nerd on the basketball team...ect. I just didn't feel like I belonged anywhere. But then again..I was particularly hard on myself and my home life was terrible. I just looked through my yearbook and nearly forgot that I had some female friends staple in a blank essay exam sheet to add their signatures....so maybe I was cooler and more loved than I thought...hell...on the subject linne they wrote"how much we love him". Funny how stupid we are as kids. Perhaps HS was a self imposed hell? Thankfully I snapped out of that!
College was/is amazing! I didn't feel attractive in HS but all of that changed in college. Being a VERY good ball player I made TONS of friends very quickly. Most importantly though I was away from home! No more home drama. I grew up alot here and had amazing times as a result. Physics major sucked and I still felt like an outcast in my classes....but it didn't matter. I joined a fraternity later and things went from great to awesome. Before I left that school for the military I knew and got along with everyone. After I joined the military I thought they'd all forget about me, but they would send me care packages during boot camp and wake me up with drunk dials during my training. Almost 5 years later, last weekend actually I get a drunken phonecall from the guys assembling at homecoming saying how much they missed me. I couldn't be more gratefull for the experience!
I've learned over time that it's not where you're at that makes you happy, people will still complain in heaven, it's the attitude that you have that makes you happy. And if the situation sucks...get the hell outa there!!

Elementary School: don't remember most of it.
Middle School: HATED IT
High School: It was fun, but it took me 4 years to realize my peers weren't assholes anymore.
College: Fucking great. I sometimes long for those days again.

Elementary school was complete, utter shit. Middle school was bad. High school was better, but still pretty bad. College is decent so far.
I loved my high school days. I was a quite girl who always did her work and got good grades, but for some reason attracted the strangest attention from other students lol. I say strange because like I said I was rather quite. All in all I had a great group of friends and really just enjoyed some of the antics that high school threw our way. Ahh those were the days 🙂. Then came college and that was no where near as fun for me than hs, but still a memorable experience.

Did not have the best experience. I was the kid everyone picks on. Add to that I had a learning disability and severe A.D.D. I had an elementary school teacher once tell me that I was stupid and that I would never amount to anything. This fuelled my fire to prove this "lady" wrong. I since learned to overcome the disability and control the A.D.D.
That comment stuck with me all my life. I use it still to light a fire under me when I'm faced with a challenge.
Today I hold a degree in business management but I went back to school to be a teacher.
One reason I chose to do this job is because I know that by doing what I do, there is on less adult out there telling our children that they are stupid and will never amount to anything.
On a hypocritical note thinking back to how I was in high school, I would have defiantly failed out of my own class if I had my present day self as the teacher. I set the bar high for my kids and take no crap in the process.

I was always a good student from elementary school up through high school, excluding my lapses in judgment around my sophomore year on, where I spent too much time thinking about girls. I still graduated with high honors, but I'd probably have a better understanding of calculus and chemistry if I wasn't so focused on girls. 🙄
College was focused on classwork. I wasn't a "university student" anyway, since I was in the Marine Corps, going to classes at night, after work. I didn't have time for screwing around, because I was married at 19, had a job and responsibility to home and family. Plus, the government's tuition assistance would only pay for classes you pass with decent grades, so I made sure that I did!
I guess I always liked school, but I had a greater appreciation for it after high school, when it actually costs money, and I was more interested in acquiring knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and not just because "the state says you have to know this".

Actually I can best define grade school as my personal version of hell! School sucked, my home life sucked, and to add the cherry to my sucky sundae, I'd spend weekends from hell's kitchen at my father's house with my stepmother and a bunch of angry and mistreated kids. I wouldn't wish my upbringing on my worst enemy (provided I had one).
No mistake I've ever made as an adult made me wish I was a kid again........ever! But it did teach me to become a better parent to my children as well as an advocate when the public school system attempte to screw them over or not properly educate them. So I guess something good came from that nightmare.
kis, I'm sorry about how your home life was in grade school.
Back to the subject of school: From elementary school, until about Senior Year in High School, I hated to go to school, primarially because of the fact that I had to be there, and how my home life was with my father.
When I went to college, I felt absolutely priviliged to be there. The only reason I got my college education, is because my father's former business partner forced him to pay for it. They had a business problem, caused by my father,. and the business partner made it mandatory that my father had to pay my undergrad education, or he wasnt going to help my father out of the problems.
I'm not saying that there weren't times I struggled with, or bitched about a class. Most everyone does that. However, anytime I didnt like a class or professor, which was rare in college, my mind kept thinking: "Shut up, do my work, do the best I can, and feel thankful that I'm here. The alternative is that I might not be able to be here".
One night in Senior Year, I unexpectedly won an award for "Outstanding Junior History Student". I was shocked when they called my name. The funny thing was, the professor who presented me with the award, told the whole History Honors Society Dinner, that I supposedly bitched about a class called Sophmore Seminar, wondering what value the class was. This was a professor who I'd had for four classes, so he knew me VERY well. At the reception later that night, after I'd won the award, I went up to him, thanked him, and said "Dr S. I do not ever recall bitching about a class I had with you. I loved your classes". (I was not brown nosing him. I truly did love his classes). He said :" Mitch, you've always been one of my favorite students, but I have two things to say to you. One.. you need to have your head examined, for intentionally taking at least three classes with me. The second is... you DID bitch about Soph Seminar, and you even went to Dr D (The head of the history dept) to ask if you could drop Soph Seminar .". This had happened two years earlier, so I didnt remember those incidents.
What made college so great, is that there were so many diverse groups of people. There were jocks, etc, obviously, but there were also brains, "normal people" (Whatever that is, etc). The cliques seemed much less prominent.

Grade school- Was made fun of constantly due to how I dressed/wore my hair/looked. (Thanks mom)
Jr High- Was quiet and kept to myself due to reason above. Was put in honors classes with other nerds and the smart preps that wouldnt talk to me haha. Also had a bad falling out with some girls I was "friends" with.. Not my fault though, they were bitches.
High school- Got better when I joined the badminton team. Made some girl friends. Was still plagued with braces/acne and not knowing how to dress myself/do my hair. Junior year I met a bunch of nerdy guys that played video games like me and Im still friends with them today.
College- Socially awesome...Totally broke out of my shell and I now have a ton of friends and fit in and go partying and stuff. Academically... its suckage. Im up till the wee hours of the morning with calculus and chemistry... 😡 Oh well. I heard life after college sucks much harder so Im trying to enjoy it while I can.

I hated it . The people sucked , the teachers sucked how they became teachers is beyond me most of them were dumbasses .
Sorry to hear you hated school, badreligion.
My experiences with teachers in elementary, junior high, and high school, were mixed. I had some who were total assholes, and others who were great.
In my sophmore year of high school, I had been doing mediocre work in this English class. I then wrote a brilliant paper, that the teacher accused me of either plaguirizing, or having someone else write for me. That was bullshit, so, I had to end up transferring English classes.
The guy who I took classroom Driver's Ed with, was a real asshole. My friend had him for typing class, and he called the office beforehand, to make sure he didnt have the same guy for Driver's Ed. I wasn't so lucky. I had gotten sick, and missed a class or two, so.. in order to be able to take my driver's test, I had to make up work over the summer. I was vacationing in Florida, and this teacher sent a ridiculously large package of work, to my father's office, that my father then forwarded on to me. Most of the school hated this particular teacher. A friend told me that, supposedly, his wife and kids had been killed in an auto accident, and the guy was just generally bitter. Understandable, but.. he really should have gone into another profession for work, because, it isnt cool to develop a reputation, as the most hated teacher in Town, which this guy was.

I know I posted in this thread beforehand, but I want to expand on my experiences..
ELEMENTARY
Good: There were so many good experiences from elementary that I remember. First off, field trips. I remember I would go on at least one every month, and they cost no more than $10-$15.00. I had to supply my own lunch. Walking to the library in my 4th grade year every friday when weather would permit it. th grade we had to sell those huge boxes of candy with all kinds of chocolate worth $125 for our end of the year trip. Had to sell 3 of those boxes. It was worth it to go to Washington DC.
Bad: There really wasn't anything I hated. A Few bad and crappy kids. And then there was my 2nd grade teacher. Older woman, 60ish. Sadly, he passed away back in 2008 I believe.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Bad: Let me begin by saying that I had to repeat the 6th grade. Apparently, the EOC tests decided I was not advanced enough to move up, and I had to stay behind. That was a real bitch. Also, Let's say I wasn't a confident person. I was so fucking stupid to let people con me into giving them my money. Someone even stole $20 dollars from me..And don't get me started on the teachers. There were 2 teachers. My 6th Grade Math teacher, who was also my math teacher for my second bout through 6th grade, and my 6th grade english teacher from my first bout who was also my 8th grade english teacher. God, they made school so difficult. It was a damn chore to get through the days..
Good: But with that in mind, middle school wasn't a total loss.
1. Some very cool and awesome teachers. There's my 8th grade science teacher who's class we almost never did any work in, just watched videos, but it was awesome and he was cool. Then my first 6th grade Social Studies teacher. Ran into him a few times, and he remembered me..
2. Every year, starting in january, at least for 2 saturdays a month until may, we would have these Saturday Academy sessions. They lasted no more than 4 hours, and it was for all grades. It would be split up. Some kids would go off and work on math related stuff, and the other half would work on reading/language arts/social studies comprehension. We would break for snacks for 30 minutes, and then we would switch and do whatever we didn't do in the first half. I don't know about you all, but I liked it on a saturday. Mainly because i didn't have things like a JOB or CAR PAYMENTS to worry about, yet. Also, teachers were relaxed, and you could talk to them on a personal level that you couldn't during the week..
3: During my 8th grade year, there was some activity we did where we would be givn a random occupation with a set salary, and we would go to different booths, and pretend that we were paying for utilities and such. I was a single police officer, and I remember still having $1630 left over at the end..
HIGH SCHOOL
Bad: I will agree with the majority that HS was a bunch of BS. I admit that I had a few teachers that were interesting, but the rest were a bunch of crappy ones. Plus the food was terrible and fights at least every other week were common..
Good: I graduated, and I got a job. Does that count?

I hated Elementary School. I grew up in a racist town back in the early 70's so the kids made it a horrible experience.
Jr. High was okay, but I got bad grades because I was depressed most of the time from lack of friends, plus I moved to a new town.
High School was fun only because of my friends. For the most part, I got decent grades, but didn't reach my potential because of laziness... and I HATED anything to do with math. I don't have that part of the brain.
College was freaking great! I sometimes wish I could go back, improve my grades, finish some of the classes to earn a better degree and take advantage of all the relationships I could have been a part of.

Hey kinda new around here, lurked for ages but decided to post when I seen this thread.
For me Elementary was good times but Junior High was a pain, teachers really didn't have a grip on things, one of our students managed to anger our social studies teacher enough to smash the projector and throw it across the room which is pretty funny looking back but not at the time.
High School was really messed up for me, did good academically the first year but second year I slipped hard into drugs, was always screwing around with friends instead of attending classes and eventually became too careless and got my girlfriend at the time pregnant at which point I dropped out and started working full time. Fun times.
