did you like school? (35)
I hated high school... I enjoyed college... I loved and got into grad school. Somehow college brought out the best in me... it was fanastic.

I went to 33 schools by the time I graduated high school. School was just school - a place to go, memorize things, sometimes learn things...life happened outside of school.

I loved school.
Perhaps thats why I´m a teacher!
Seriously though, I do believe that teachers influence their students in a profound way. Those who have bad experiences of school life tend to find problems in later life and subsequent career choices.
I now teach only adults, and I can tell you that it is never too late to learn and improve your resume!

I taught at the university level for a while and loved it. I was assigned to teach a four year course on "Strategic Management".

Well done. I bet you were a hit with your students. You apparently have all the skills to teach such a subject.
Why didn´t you continue?

My wife got sick from cancer... My Mother had four heart attacks... Life overtakes you sometimes and you must support your family.
Bottom line: I lost my wife; lost my Mother; lost my home to a hurricane; and, lost my only brother to cancer. So teaching at a university had a back seat to other things.

Hmmm I had a really tough time in school. Not in the classes but I was the smallest in my grade and painfully shy. I was the one being locked in lockers, shoved in the boys restroom, placed in trash cans and beat up by the bullies. All in all one would think I hated school. I just loved it though. I cried when I graduated. I take as many classes as I can still to this day. I love to learn.
A day without learning something new is a day wasted.

True and I´m sorry you suffered such personal heartache. However you could still go back to it John. There is a dire shortage of good teachers and lecturers.

I really enjoyed my time teaching. I did it for 7 years in the US Air Force at the academy and then later at a university in California. Today I have moved on... my life if full, very full with all the things I do... I love my golfing, fishing, playing chess, travelling, and volunteer work with the Boy Scouts, soup kitchen and Church. Frankly I don't have the time for being a professor anymore.

I did not like elementary school. My teacher asked me how was I gonna be a writer, if I had to take care of my kids. I remember telling her I might not have kids, she told me of course you will your Mom has eleven.
But Jr. High, and high school. I was not the smartest kid, but the smartest kid coming to an all white scool from the projects. And I had teachers that encouraged the writing bug, even all the way through high school.
So to the the teacher that told me trying to be a writer was not a good Idea
I became a published author August 2008

Primary School sucked. But High School was a blast!
We kept the teachers on their toes, but we had some good one,some bad ones and some down right weird ones. Come graduation time many were sad to go and some even shed tears at the ceremony. We've had some reunions and always talk about the teachers that were such a great influence on our lives, we've lost a lot of them through the years to different circumstances but we always remember a lot of them fondly. Many complain about hating high school but a real good high school is one where the kids actually enjoyed being there. The first college I went to was in Jamaica and made lots of friends was lots of fun. University some years afterwards though will not be remembered fondly.

High school was a hoot.... got into all sorts of trouble..
Those were the days of learning to smoke...learning to whistle with your fingers. . lots of sports... having best friends.. having boyfriends.. making mum mad with being a tomboy and ripping school uniform, wagging school, hitch hiking,
gosh...
and for the last year of school, I got sent to an all girls school...
because of my dad's work which took my family away so I lived alone in the family home...
and I guess thats when it wasn't so fun anymore.

Mixed emotions about school - loved Junior school (7-12) but hated secondary (12-16) for a whole bunch of VERY private reasons.
I then went on to Drama School - which I LOVED and later in life became a training manager for a large corp.
I loved teaching, and helping people acquire new knowledge, but would not wish to repeat my 'senior' school years.
