School days...the best days of your life?

Not for me Terry. I don't sweat on the little things. I would rather live my life to the fullest and live not so good rather than stay in a job that I detest because the pay is good.

Well, I've been much happier within myself for the 6 years I haven't been in school...

When you're in secondary school everyone hates it tbh. I hated it too but when I look back I had great crack and just have some great stories to tell.

If I feel sorry for anyone.....(I tend not to have sympathy on anyone)....it's my teachers, fùck meh, they got so much abuse I'd say they're all locked up in straight jackets at this point!!!! Mucho giggles provided to get us through the long days!!!

A class in our 3rd year sent 2 teachers into nervous breakdowns and they must have been off for months. A poor old chap in Metalwork and a woman in Science.

Our guidance counsellors walked out on us at one stage as well, just up and left the room when a few of the lads kept singing down the back and wouldn't shut it. She broke too easily.

We only managed one in 2nd year, but we did manage to turn our 5th/6th class teacher completely grey. Including his beard.

Yeah but as a kid the stress of not having your homework done for your crazy bitch irish teacher is relative to trying to pay a mortgage on a minumum wage 9-5 as an adult.

God forbid I ever see that feckin irish teacher again :eek:

Not actual school itself, but I would definitely think those years in general, specifically those summers, were pretty much the best ever....

Ahh.. Schooldays, undoubtedly the best days of your life, although you don't realise it at the time. It's amazing how one can recall the simplest, smallest details when conversing with old school friends. I spent hours 'skyping' with an old school friend of mine the other evening, and we teased out everything - the habits of class mates and teachers, things that happened, etc..

I hated school but loved the days and people!

I liked primary school. It was really small and everyone knew everyone else. Teacher was dead sound too. We could spend at least an hour telling jokes each day.

Didn't really like secondary school. Especially the first three years. I was very quite and geeky. Came out of myself in the final years though because I had a really close group of friends and I stopped caring what everyone else thought. They would still be my best mates.

Absolutly loved college. Had more independence from my parents. They trusted me more.

Could finally get into niteclubs (I always looked only 16 so hadnt a hope in hell of getting in with fake ID). Spent our summers planning weekends away to concerts or just turn up at some poor muppets house. Finished college this year and finally moving out of the house (I no, I no). So hoping for even better things.

Well, I'm glad you had good craic in school cos you obviously did fukc all learning in it.

Maybe if yous weren't sitting around telling jokes for hours you'd know how to spell "quiet", "absolutely", "Night Clubs" and (holy jesus) "know"?

What the fukc did you do in college? Pottery?

Not so nice one, Franko.
Attack the post, not the poster.

Edit: I suck at puns.

gazzer · 24-08-2007 03:11PM

My secondary school was quite crap to be honest.. Only about 2 good teachers in it.. Used to hate the fact we had to stand up and say a prayer each time a teacher came into do a class.

Having said that I made some great friends. I did my LC in 1989 and I still have 5 really good mates from school that I still hang around with. We have gone through the meeting girls, going to college, having a 21st, getting engaged, getting married, buying a house, having kids etc phases together.

No offence intended, Aurian. was just having a bit of craic. thought it was quite funny when I was typing it but looking back now can see how it might not be taken so. soz if any offence caused.

No problem. It just came across as a bit on the aggressive side.

Primary school sucked, totally hated it, overcrowded classroom in the 80s

Secondary school was great, had some great laughs and made soem excellent friends I still have.

Real world sucks.......is it quitting time yet?

seamus · 24-08-2007 05:26PM

I would say that yes, I would love to be fifteen again, knowing what I know now. Provided that I didn't actually have to go to school.

most of the older generation who say that school days were the best days of your life NEVER even went to secondary school. Back then school was a million miles from the back-breaking labour that most children were forced to endure once they finished school.

Personally i liked primary, hated every minute of secondary so much that i left in the year before my leaving cert. Worked my way back up through an adult education course to go on to college and my six years in third level (degree, h dip, masters) were fantastic.

This new generation will no doubt be saying that college days were the best days of your life and rightly so

School days...the best days of your life?
