Hey! I'm mostly curious on everyone's opinions on school....

I'd probably fall under hate it... but I know a lot of people like/liked school, or just didn't care and stuck around to learn what they had to and got out of there.

I'm in university right now, so I can give a decent opinion of why school is important.

Sure, school from about 11-16 sucks mainly because you aren't doing what you aspire to do. You have to cover mostly everything under the sun while you're at middle or high school (depending where you are in the world) and usually only about 15-25% of what you cover is important to you. You may think you hate school, but once you reach college/university and you made the choices that are right for you, that percentage increases to about 80-90%. It becomes fun once you get older and studying your favourite thing to do in great depth is actually an amazing feeling.

You only get to do school once, try your best to enjoy it, before the daunting task of "work" creeps up on you!

I voted "love it", but I suppose that my complete answer is that it really depends on what level of school you're intending this survey to be based on: your question was beyond general. Having said as much:

1) K through 12 years: I didn't find it to be particularly amazing, and I was bullied more than I'd prefer to remember, but I just focused on doing really well and getting through it...it was a means ot an end to wrap up and begin college coursework in the field I'd chosen to go into very early on.

2) Undergraduate years: College seemed a bit overwhelming for the first semester but then leveled out, and I really loved it (though partied way more than I should have at times). I didn't really find the undergraduate years to be significantly more useful than the K through 12 years though in that the majority of it seemed to revolve around wrote memorization and/or simply studying to the tests.

3) Graduate school years: These were the most amazing, and I loved these the most out of my schooling history. That isn't to say they were easy, however (in fact, I think the extreme challenges presented are part of what I loved the most).

Yeah, I would have liked to put more detail into the post but, there's so many people who are if different kind of schooling, everyone's in a different place in their school-life-cycle, and everyone probably has their own very detailed opinion on every year...

So I decided to go with a very vague answer, and hoped people would elaborate in the comments (thank you for doing so!)

Also, I'm glad you liked your graduate years so much, I'm not much of a fan of pushing myself or challenges, as bad as that sounds... So I'm glad you had fun with it :D

Honestly, I think school is a tad outdated, but I understand that people need to go to school to learn. That's the only way we can learn at the moment. I was public schooled for most of my life, but now I'm homeschooled! I'll skip the details, but in public school, I was failing hard and none of my teachers seemed to care. I get it though, they have tons of students to take care of and cant tend to each one personally. I just happened to be one of the students they couldn't really help. So, I decided homeschooling would be better for me! And it is! I learn so much better now that I'm homeschooled rather than in public school.



TL;DR



To end this, I'll give both public and home school a grade from 1 - 10.

1 being "I hated this with every inch of my being"

and 10 being "Oh heck yeah I love me some school"



Public school: 4 - Was good until middle school, then I started falling behind badly.



Homeschool: 8 - I mean, it's still school, but I love it so much more than public school.

I used to love school. Friends, teachers, just the educational environment makes me feel motivated. I like learning. Bullies don't mean shit to me. But the school I attend at the moment is super stressful. Every monday I would think "when is our next break?"
But I still like going to school. The activities and events we have are amazing. Also friends :p

You know, on 1 side I hate school, because I've been bullied for like 6 years of school (most elementary even) and because of my curiosity I am pretty much always in front of what we have to know, but on the other side, I kindoff like it, Since you need it for work later and it helped me get my only good social contacts, my 3 friends. So it's really just a -2, pretty much as many positives as negatives.

It does kill me cus I have to get out of bed early af... But meh

I've only went to kindergarten before, but even then there was stuff such as bullying. I personally hate schools for not dealing with such things, and just throwing it under the carpet, completely ignoring it. Though, school can be quite entertaining if the teacher is kind, a good teacher, and so on. Most teacher aren't like that. I think schools would be much better if they dealt with such things, and tried making learning more enjoyable for a young person.

School is outdated, it was designed in the industrial age in order to prepare people to work in factories, we do not longer work in factories (most of us) so school is in need of a huge reform. That's why children are sitting in lines, just like in factories, and the teacher plays the role of the supervisor in factory. Even the bells are similar. That's why kids hardly learn anything in school, because learning is a much more interactive process than the one in schools.

Additional fact:

Scientists say that is difficult for the brain to learn anything before 10 AM, so schools is anti-scientific anyway.

This contradicts my comment, but I also agree with it. It's extremely hard to compute anything for some people even up to midday. Despite this though, school is pretty much once in a lifetime, once it's been and gone, that's pretty much it. Take as much out of it and use it for your later life, especially what's important to you.

honestly - i didn't enjoy school as much.
i enjoyed learning very much, but that's it.
i was bullied horribly for many years, and had a very hard time leaving the house due to mental/physical/health illnesses, and many hardships i was facing in my life.
eventually i was home-schooled, and had a lot of family support, but public schooling was easily one of my top 5 worst experiences.

School was pretty bad for me. I was bullied a lot and public school wasn't prepared to adjust for how I needed to learn. I was going through a lot of stuff while I was in school and it wasn't until the last 2 years of high school that I got the help I needed by switching to independant study. After that it was still hard because I was so behind, but the extra hands on help and 1 on 1 support from my teachers allowed me to graduate high school.
