For me I did not miss the school days which I studied college. But I miss to go to school again because for me learning is a continuous process. I love to learn more different things...

Wow! That really a nice idea, my friend. Well I think it is the same with spanish right? Because Spanish here in the Philippines is not a new word because our country is under the Spanish rule in the many centuries. Bad thing that they don't like Filipinos to learn and they are not allow Filipino to study that is why our National Hero go to Madrid to study because the priest who control the government then did not allow Filipino to learn. They only allow rich people then to study but not in college an Filipino students then have a limited access to education because they are discriminated in all the aspect. Well, that really an interesting thing. I appreciate it so much, my friend

I miss school because of the things that would happen in between lessons, during recess and lunch. No lessons for me :) Hanging out in high school was fun back then because there was construction going on and we were allowed to stay in our classrooms during breaks. One guy would whip out his guitar and we'd just hang out at the back of the classroom casually, like we were at a park. Someone would be copying homework while someone else would be reading a book. Then there were school productions. We had to take road trip for this for one week out of the school year. I was a band geek and later on a performer on stage. I missed out a lot in college. I wanted to go home as soon as I could and I didn't make much college friends. My "real" college experience was when I started teaching. I had a gang of friends who were all undergrads and we'd "live" at the nearest Starbucks. I miss school because beyond the homework and the reports and the grades, I had a healthy social life against the backdrop of a routine and a schedule. I guess it was my way of surviving :)

I didn't want to get out of college for that reason. I wanted to graduate so bad! Haha. I redeemed my college life when I was studying for my MA (that I didn't finish...now that's another story) while teaching. It was like high school times 100 hahaha

Dear friend, Yes, lot of it. If I get a chance now then I would definitely scored better things than I have failed before. Those naughty days, home works, projects, assignments, class tests, games, oh no..... it would be wonder full if I go back to that place sat on that small bench, again have those classes. It would be really an exiting experience I would love to have.

I really missed my school too much. Those days were my golden days. We had a lot of fun in school with friends. That was an awesome life. No pressure on you at that time barring study. I used to dance and prance about in school playing games bunking the classes. With friends I always had laugh on one or another matter. I got punishment few times at school since I was a little imp. Playing and gossiping with friends were our parties that we used to have daily. Talking about school days I always become excited.

i see that you were a bit rebel^^ but thats cool^^ that way was more fun for sure^^ im happy that you played much and gossip much with your friends^^ and is true the pressure wasnt much like now that we need to have a job to survive. life as an adult is more complicated than when we are studying^^ you are right^^ school is more relaxing^^

I was a really good student but very naughty too I was really active in doing all the wrong things which were not allowed in the school but my teachers used to like me so I used to escape from all the problem though I was a shy guy then also the planning of all they naughty things were done by me and I really miss those days making fun of teacher,fighting in the class, sitting and commenting in the teachers period, arguing with teacher wow what amazing days those were....

me too. i missed my school times. it's really fun when your together with your classmates/friends in school. sharing everything like assignments, projects and even sharing of answers during quizzes. after quarterly exams, we hang out on malls and had bonding depending on what we wanted. sometimes, right after classes we stayed in the house chatting, eating and sleeping. if i would be given a chance to go to school, i would grab it but i don't want to have oral quizzes and surprise quizzes.

me too. oral quizzes is one of my weaknesses. you are called to stand up and answer the question and eventually your classmates are looking at you and listening to your answer. i get nervous easily during oral quizzes. yeah, i agree! wanted to be a teenager but in reality, we can't.

I hated my school days! I was always the quiet one sitting at the back of the class and I felt left out at times! This paints a very negative picture but I was never happy at school and I was really pleased once I walked out the gates for the last time! I think it's different for everyone though! There are those that would love to return to their school years as it was the best time of their lives! I did partake in some study since leaving but now I'm just enjoying doing my own thing and that doesn't involve any kind of study! Andrew

Yes...I do miss my school times so much especially these two years.I think the school time was my one of my most unforgettable and wonderful time.When it comes to shcool time,of course my most interesting school time was in university,because that's a quite free time compare to my high school life,and I met some good friends from other cities,you know?It's very nice experience travel to your good friends'hometown,experienced quite different things and didn't spent much because as students you have some priviliges,and of course you have so much time traveling.However, when i was college student I didn't realized that's my most wonderful time in life,I just hoped could find a job then i could earn my own money and other good imaginations...When I left campus and worked for so many years,i really miss school life so much,people are so pure and innocent,you don't need to worry about may offend somebody by unintentional words,and you are quite easy to make true friends in campus...Anyways,for me school times always beautiful and wonderful even there also tough times like examinations...

Yes I have missed my school time very much. Because in school time I had enjoyed very much with my friends. And then I had no any tension that what can I do in future. So then only one works I doing and that is study with enjoying. And sometimes we bunk the classes with our friends for playing cricket. So when I remember those days I feel happiness.

I don't get to go to parties as well when i still studying. I never regretted being such a good student before even until now. Im happy with my life as a student and i should say that i really miss my school days =( I wish i could study back again and be with my friends in school before. But i don't think that will happen even if i go to masteral classes i still can't bring back the past.

I miss my high school and my classmates. I cannot say that high school is the most happiest days in my school life since I finished my high school in a school only for boys. It's kind a boring, since we are stay in school, and we only went home once a year. The name of the school is The Sister of Mary Shcool!

you miss your friends but not the school? ahah thats normal bcs if you only came home once a year thats really bad. and sure a school only of boys wasnt that great really^^ couldnt even date girls right?^^ in weekends you had to stay in school also? thats very boring really those schools should end. at least in weekends should go home and after classes should be able to go to wherever you wanted to. those colleges are too bad.

I miss my University school life. For me it was the best. I got a lot of free time to hang out with my friends and I enjoy attending classes with weird teachers. I had a lot more socializing when I was in college and I miss going out with my college friends too. Life back then wasn't as complicated as now and I really do miss the fun.

My school was one of the worst in the United Kingdom, which is why it was knocked down after I finished. We sat bottom of the school boards visit, which meant it was seriously under performing but at the end of the day I do miss it. There was quite a lot of bully, I was the stubborn don't mess with me kid that bully's knew that I wouldn't stand for it. Despite the school being a state and all the violence it wasn't all that bad. I made good friends that mostly are now scattered around the world. If I could go back and take it more seriously I honestly would, this is something I'm trying to put across to my children who really need to buckle down the way the world is going.

sorry that your school was one of the worst ones but im happy that you showed to bullies that they couldnt affect you^^ bullies can really traumatize some people so im happy that you didnt be through that^^ and im happy that that school closed its doors. they should try to control those bully kids to dont hurt other kids. you would like to take it more seriously^^ i see so maybe now you could have a better future?^^ i understand you. and sure im happy that you want to show that to your kids^^ im sure they will study and have a good future^^ you are a good father^^

I really do miss some things about school. I miss gym class and the delicious school food but most of all I miss my friends. These were kids that I spent years with every day and now I never see them. One of my closest friends in high school I have seen in about 4 years. I miss her so much.

Well my friend used to come to town more often and she would stop in and see me but she never does anymore. Once in awhile she calls me on the phone or chats with me on facebook but shes just very busy. I just miss her. She lives a few states away from me. We didnt have gymnastics in our gym class. That I would have loved.

hello for the 2 beautiful ladies. i also miss my school days because i really had a great time way back then. i can say that i am a black sheep because instead i will go to my class, i cut it out just to go to mall. i remember one day , that i cut my class because my teacher was so boring, but i come to realize that i should no did that. because after that day, my teacher gave long quiz, and i could'nt answer that one because i'm not there during the discussion. what a bad news!
