When did you ever begin to like school or did you always dislike it or like it...For me I hated school until grade 8. I remember it was a certain teacher who changed my mind about school and I started to enjoy learning and doing things in school instead of just getting by...How about you?

I hated school with a passion, I couldn't wait to leave, I don't think I every truly liked school, mind you being badly bullied probably had something to do with it, probably in all honesty a lot to do with it, when you would sit at your desk when it was time to go home and fear that you'd be ambushed on the way home wasn't much fun, or being bullied in the playground that you would prefer to stay in the safety of the classroom and the teacher pushed you out! When the teachers wouldn't believe that you are being bullied or wouldn't do anything about the bullies! The teachers made a great difference at school, the fact that they were weak and couldn't control the class meant that I came out with mediocre grades, I learnt far more out of school than in it. It was my love of reading that got me through. They said the best years of your life were your school days, I think that's cr*p for me personally.

I never really enjoyed school, but once my parents divorced and my mom moved my sister and I to a new city I hated school even more. So much so that I actually skipped school often in 5th, 7th, and 9th grade. It's amazing I graduated at all! LOL In 10th grade I had the option of either repeating the 9th grade or going to an alternative school. Guess which one I chose? LOL I enjoyed the alternative school so much more and my grades improved tremendously! If I would have known about it sooner I would have opted to have this type of schooling instead. It's a good choice for kids that don't like the regular type of school.

I liked school in grad school (kindergarten through 6th grade). Even though I continued to get good grades, my enjoyment of school with downhill from there. I don't know if it was the social cliques, the courses, the teachers, or all of it combined. There were good times involved, but I don't look back on it as a great part of my life.

I quite liked school, especially the secondary schooling years. I made great friends and had fantastic teachers. I was always a good student, most people probably thought I was a bit of a goody goody and a teacher's pet, but that is all to your advantage later on. Having great teachers really helped me.
Although now that I've said that I don't think I could go back to studying. Instead of taking up my uni course that I got into I did a 5 month Certificate in Business Admin and started working full time. There is no way I would give that up now.

As a child I always loved school.
I couldn't wait to see my friends every morning and the best thing I loved about school was learning new things. All of my teachers I have had has made learning an interesting way with amazing ways how they explain it, pictures, and even materials to show things. I think teachers are doing a great job and should continue there teaching to the best of their ability.

I couldn't really say. I am still in school. I don't really have excessive trouble with the work, and I'm pretty smart, so it's not really the actual schooling that I don't like. I have had some pretty awesome teachers over the years. But it's always been hard for me socially, because I'm terrible with people, or at least with other teenagers. I like to think I'm just too mature for them, actually.

I always love school. I made straight A's and took honors classes. My thoughts began to change however in college! Now, I cannot wait to graduate. I think the reason I liked school so much then was because it was my only responsibility. It's not even really that I dislike school now its that I can't stand being in classes with 200++ peoples. Its to impersonal and your professor has no idea who you are. Plus, I hate multiple choice test because I do horrible on them :) and thats all we seem to get with huge classes.
