Flatlander Oct 2019 7:55am, 30 Oct 2019 1,510 posts	0 Flatlander Sorry Mmm, but "My schooldays were the happiest days of my life", I have a thirst for learning so I enjoyed studying. My adult life, especially at work, has been less than happy, for reasons that may become clear in a few weeks' time.

Diogenes Oct 2019 7:58am, 30 Oct 2019 41,752 posts	0 Diogenes My school days were ok, some better than others, much like the rest of life. What I most regret was the way I aimlessly wasted my twenties.
Velociraptor Oct 2019 7:59am, 30 Oct 2019 43,695 posts	0 Velociraptor I quite enjoyed school. I was good at a lot of school stuff and always found my tribe. But I was more than ready to leave when I was 17.
Garfield Oct 2019 8:05am, 30 Oct 2019 11,183 posts	0 Garfield I enjoyed high school, middle school less, so. High school band trips were the fun part. Where I grew up, high school was either 4 or 5 years - the latter if one had plans to go to university.

Mandymoo Oct 2019 8:17am, 30 Oct 2019 9,040 posts	0 Mandymoo I enjoyed school but then it was a good school sport wise and ended up team captain on lots of things, and representing County in some. Left halway through 6th form due to poor health and missing too much of year course. Walked into a YTS job, meet my hubby and the rest in history..
geordiesanta Oct 2019 8:38am, 30 Oct 2019 9,101 posts	0 geordiesanta Well school wasn’t unhappy but I moved to a different high school to majority of my friends then my friends from school were too far away to socialise with, I was poorly a lot of the time, got out in different classes to my new school friends as I struggled with maths (the idea was struggling just forget about) and I was in classes where there was a few disruptive kids I didn’t have anything in common with. In a working life I have choices and I’m happier with that. The carefree days were pretty good though. And I wish I’d been closer to my brother than always fighting with him but we are pretty close now.
