Did you like school?

Kevin joyce

I think alot of people think school was great after they leave but infact it was shiite and hell on earth at the time. I tried to commit suicide in 6th class because of how **** it made my life at the time.

funk-you

Nah, not really. The chicks were easy though.

No. I hated school (well secondary school anyway).

cock robin

I was educated in the 70s by homosexuals, republicans and paedophiles who had corporal punishment at their disposal. It was ****e and totally turned me away from all froms of education. Its a lot better now I think. The kids today are far better protected and clued up about weirdos.

Jesus!

It was bad all right. I skipped transition year so I could get out of the kip faster!

Sanjuro

Hated it. Was apoplectic with joy the day I woke up and discovered I'd never have to take another maths class and never see of the people in my year again.

pragmatic1

Hated most of it.

School was sh1t, and quite similar to everything since, but I haven't killed myself yet.

bonerm

Nope I didn't like my 13 years of glorified state childminding.

stovelid

It was boring, awful and enjoyable in mostly equal proportions.

Like most other people's achooldays if they're being honest.

primary was nice everyone was lovely but it was boring, shoulda skipped more years

secondary was even more boring and less nice

Riddle101

Can't say I hated school. Of course at times it was sh!t but ultimately I enjoyed my time at school. Lot's of funny and good memories, the witty banter in certain classes, teachers who i thought were legends and the friendships I made during those times.

Pauleta

I loved it. I was in my element, the banter was fantastic. Life's never been the same since, i would give my left testicle to go back to secondary school

FatherLen

attempting suicide in sixth class?
what happened?
someone take your pokemon cards?

syklops

I hated every second of it, with the exception of Transition Year which I loved, as I got to do real life stuff.

I remember about 2 years after I left school I walked into a girl from the 'popular' crowd from school in Dublin(actually now that I think of it it was right in front of The Bank on College Green), and asked her how she was, and she said "I'm ok. I dont really like Dublin. Its very...busy. And I haven't been out in ages, or seen my friends in a long while. How are you?". I said I was feckin brilliant. I loved my job, and I loved living in town, I was out every night, what's not to love???

It then hit me, that life had been pretty easy for her in school. She was hot, and popular, everyone liked her, she was smart enough to pass everything but not 'intelligent' enough that she was under great pressure, and when she left that environment, life hit her in the face and became difficult.

I am the opposite, school was like hell for me, so moving out, getting a job, feeding, cleaning and clothing myself was a piece of piss after that. It was like having a life sentence and then being set free. While I was there I wished i was popular, but looking back at it, I am glad I was not as the experience made me into me, and I am popular now.

Mr Freeze

I hated school.

I still sometimes have the nightmares where I am back in school sitting at a desk, exam in front of me, and I start thinking why the f**k did I go back to school and haven't even studied. :eek: Then I wake up.

Its similar to that scene in Top Secret, except without the Nazi's whipping me when I wake up.

Neadine

I hated my time in secondary school, it was a nightmare from start to finish. There was a hierarchy where everything was concerned, sports, academics, popularity.
I spent a short time working in my old secondary school, yet another traumatic experience. Some of my old teachers still there. The way they spoke about some of the kids used to infuriate me. The attitudes stank, would never send my kids to that school.
Also, didn't particularly like a lot of the people I went to school with. Am still friends with a few, the others... could care less about. Usually when home around Christmas I bump into people whose faces are vaguely familiar and whose names I can't remember and then they come over to say hi all friendly, and I really don't care where they are or what they are doing now.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh

Sounds like a cliche of a very cheesy teen movie. The popular, rich and good looking kid from school ends up with a very poor future after leaving, proberly working as a janitor in the school he/she went to. While the kid who didn't have it easy, ends up rich and powerful and has a great life.

RichieC

I liked it but I wasn't good at it. Though, I'm quite proud of the fact that I never once in my life went on the mitch*.


*Once I got suspended and pretended to go to school and hid in a field for the day so I didn't have to tell my parents.

the_syco

School sucked, but I made good friends. School thought me why I shouldn't trust people, and helped me see that violence is the best way to solve problematic people.

All in all, it was informative.

If I knew then what I know now I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

If you are serious about the suicide than I'm sorry but If not please don't joke about this subject.

Johnny Bitte

Primary was amazing, great friends, learned nothing. Secondary was completely nightmare at the beginning, great in the middle and hell on earth for the last year!!

Life is what you make it i ve been told. Try make something outta someone standing on your face!

EmmaMarie_X

School was great..i went to 2 different schools and i was in the popular group in both of them haha

Liked it except for Irish

SparkyTech

Hated it. Never fitted in, didnt like bieng forced to learn mundane sh*te for the LC that was totaly irrelevant to the real world. College is awesome though.

Red Hand

I dunno. At the time, near the end I couldn't wait to be gone as I was looking forward to the future and college and all that. Unfortunately, a few things happened as I was beginning 3rd levelwhich made the next few years fairly sh*t.

Compared to school, life at the minute is fairly f*cking meh...

Earthhorse

Yeah, it was a mixed bag. I liked learning but it was often boring. Made some great friends but also ran afoul of some proper assh*les like most people I would say. By the time sixth year came around I was sick of it though, the whole thing was getting childish. Having said that, I ended up hating college way more.

Xivilai

I really hated Secondary School. Its down to personal reasons but it was bloody miserable.

bodice ripper

I loved it. And even at the time I knew I would be sorry to leave. Whenever anyone bitched about it I would think "A bus comes and gets me, I listen to music for an hour, we all stand around socialising, I get to hear and read a bunch of stuff I am genuinely interested in, a bus takes me home and then I spend the majority of my remaining time socialising with other friends. It may never be this good again."

Father Damo

Thinking back aye we had some good laughs.

3rd level, now that bored the cock off me. For a start all the good looking birds (who at September must have been one third of the class) had by Christmas either completely dropped out or only came in for exams and never went to socials. There were only about 3 or 4 of the lads who were proper into their raves and all, everyone else preferred hanging around Whelans on a Wednesday night to see The Coronas or whatever studenty cock bands were playing. Id be in contact with loads of my old school mates but tbh only maybe 3 of my college ones.

candy-gal1

Ugh! Absolutely hated school from 3rd year was actually ok-ish though, then hit college and it was fantastic

squeakyduck

I didn't love school but I didn't hate it. I loved college, if you wanted to go to class you could but you had the freedom to say no and catch up if you wanted.

I finished college in August, and I'm only dying to start my TEFL course. Education is such a big part of your life you can be lost without it.

Asphyxia

I hated secondary school got suspended by a teacher and then went to a new place not another secondary school it was kind of a community college and it was deadly

I hated secondary school

college was ****e.

Haruki

Had a ball in primary, secondary i found horrific, so much so i left in fifth yeah, i hit a wall big time and felt if i didn't get out i would have done something stupid. The school was run like a dictatorship, some really good teachers but the majority were terrible, i still look back and laugh at the value they put on small insignificant things.....found it odd then and more so now.

Dolph Starbeam

I went to an all boys secondary school and i hated most of it, i'd still go back tomorrow if i could though, i'd do things a hell of a lot differently too.

As The Faces would say, "I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger".

So an anecdote about me sounds like a cheesy movie from the 90s? I am not sure how to take that.

I hated primary school. Had a very difficult life there between classmates, the subjects and teachers. Overall I found it very tough. I got nervous over the smallest of things and got stressed for no reason. I found it hard to keep up with the homework even though I did it everyday but found it hard. Some subjects were just harder for me than others but once I got older in primary school things improved for a while. I started to do better in school for the most part except maybe one subject with perserverance I got over it and manged ok in it once I went to secondary school. All in all I learnt a lot primary! I didn't like secondary all that much but I suppose I prefered it to primary school. I didn't have a tough a life in secondary school as primary school at least. Loved college then no matter how hard or stressful it became I loved college in all aspects of it even to get over my nerves of presentations! But I still value education!

I loved primary school until about fifth class when I started getting bullied.

Made sure I didn't get bullied in secondary school by standing up to the first guy (about a foot taller than me, tough guy :pac:) who tried to bully me. Never bullied after that.

However, I liked secondary school until third year when I realised just how useless some of my teachers actually were. Fifth and sixth year were even worse. I had two excellent teachers and one good teacher, the other four (seven subjects) were absolutely terrible, one of whom never once thought us Maths but instead allowed us to play cards, arm-wrestle and listen to his stories about how he got Elvis hooked on drugs when he served with him in 'Nam'. Moron :mad:

Teachers like those four are what makes me so mad that underperforming teachers can't be sacked. :mad:

Did I like school? No, I was bored, frustrated by mostly poor teaching and couldn't wait to get to University. Loved every minute of Uni.

ScumLord

I wouldn't say I loved school, looking back on it I had great fun with friends and there was little to no bullying amongst us kids in primary and secondary school.

Hated most of my teachers in primary school though I was picked on more so by the principle I was keep in at lunch times and hit by him allot throughout my time in school it really turned me off learning until I left school.

One or two of my teachers had no interest in teaching, one took 19 days of in two months only to brag she could stay at home and drink whiskey "he he". So no I didnt love school.

Ditto for me. Except I was bullied by an old cúnt of a teacher. No problem with the other kids! Loved school up to then, and generally enjoyed my time in secondary school.

Agricola

Looking back on it now, I do realize that they are the best days of your life. My closest friends to this day are some of the lads I met in school.

Catching an 8am bus which dropped us in the school every morning 40 minutes before 1st class! Listening to Ian Dempsey and that Jimmy fella on 2fm on the bus journey while talking alot of shíte. The rush for the radiators in the lunch area on freezing dark winter mornings. Talkin' more shíte til 9 o clock!
Dragging yourself through the day, sometimes a teacher might be out - Free Class! - Usually unsupervised which meant more shíte talk and messin'. Last bell at 3.40, out the door to stand in the yard for another age waiting for the clapped out aul bus. Looking across the road into an agri machinery yard, listening to the farmers shíte talkin' about Masseys and Cases while the rest of us ogled hot young teachers heading to their cars and waxed lyrical about this amazing new game called Tomb Raider! Then onto the bus for lots more shíte talk before getting home for mammy's dinner!

Good days!

Plenty of alchos in my primary school too. At least two of them had to leave regularly due to alcohol fuelled outbursts in school. They where never fired over it, although at the same time it never seemed to be seen as a big problem by the parents either.
