[QUOTE="nlj, post: 634442, member: 17650"] Hi Confused I hated everything about school really. I hated the conformity of it, the sarcastic mean teachers, rigidity of classes, school uniform, meal times, enforced religious worship, bullying, it goes on and on. I became very unhappy, from about the age of 10 onwards. It started with a particularly horrid teacher. In high school I would regularly just walk out and go home or to the library and read. I have always loved reading and learning, it wasn't about not wanting to learn, in fact I was probably quite well self-taught and did really well in exams and then got a Maths degree. I was always in the top group in the class, even though I spent most of my time trying not to be there. I would say that I have succeeded [I]despite [/I]school, not [I]because[/I] of school. The school system isn't for everyone, and I have real sympathy for children who hate it. I still dislike schools now (I taught in a college), and get pretty wound up with all the controlling, self-satisfied nonsense that I get from my daughter's primary school. I would love to home school her, but unfortunately she loves school and wants to go! [/QUOTE]
