As much as I liked school and did very well and have a great career i,d have to say i,m having the best time of my life now.....single and living life to the full , got the band back together and having lots of fun.

So that would have to be a big NO

The bullying, the name calling, the chastisement and that was just the teachers.

School was shite!

It was made better by going and sticking to my guns and going on my terms.

I haven't done bad so far to say I was supposed to be an under achiever that didn't go to university.

No, I hated school, was constantly bullied, I was incredibly shy and quiet and never fitted in.

Funny how some of the "bullies" have messaged me on here asking for a meet. Was a great feeling telling them to f**k off.

Nope, junior school was fine.

Then at start of comprehensive my parents started fighting and after a while split up and I moved areas. My mum struggled to make ends meet so my school stuff was sometimes hand me downs or charity shop stuff, which as we all know kids are very forgiving about.

Then there was the fact that I was an English kid in a Welsh valleys school, that lead to some interesting ethnic cleansing beatings. My bright ginger hair and national health specs were also like a red rag to a moron. The one time I did fight back I threw the other lad down a 20ft embankment and I got dragged to the heads office and suspended. The whole time was an exercise in keeping my head below the parapet. Generally I was miserable all the time up until the 6th year when I got some qualifications, joined the forces and got the fuck out of dodge. Although in the few years after doing that I did live the dream of leathering one of the people who gave me a hard time, and fucking one of the girls who never looked twice at me. So I suppose karma evens it all out.

You'd think all that would leave me with emotional scars and personality issues. Pah! What do psychologists know.

Made some great friends many of whom I still see.

I loved infants and junior school - the latter so much so that my boys went there and I became a Governor (first ex pupil to do so) and latterly, Chair of the Governing Body for two years.

Pity I can't say the same for Secondary school, which both Crackling and I went to. It was the early-mid 70's and we were all unaware (certainly are now though..) that we were part of a socialist education 'experiment' which did little or nothing for most of us. Far too many have gone on to be under achievers and, thinking back, there were a very high percentage who were coping with some sort of issue at home. Don't look back on those days with any warmth really....

OP - Jo, my Dad was one of the first people outside of specialist education to be diagnosed with Dyslexia in the late 1950's - it was only picked up as my elder sister was going through some emotional issues (ain't changed there I'm afraid!) and the psychologist spotted the problem in my Dad. Unfortunately there was little they could do to help him as the research being done then was aimed at children still in school (My Dad would have been about 35 then), and I can remember to this day his frustration at not being able to read me one of my Christmas Annuals when I was about 3 or 4. Not nice seeing tears rolling down your Dads cheeks in frustration.....

Know EXACTLY where you are coming from on that....

You musta gone to the wrong school

Couldn't wait to leave at 16 and get earning (though I did a year at college before becoming waged), but I did have some good times at secondary school getting into all sorts of scrapes.

I met my best friend on our first day at infant school and 40 years later we still holiday together and have seen each other through all the major incidents in our lives

Nope, not secondary school anyway, unfortunately I had the opposite of _avenharrier!

I was good at the work, but as one of the only white girls in my year, there were constant snide remarks and the odd attack by groups of girls who, if I fought back, would then turn around with all their friends and say that I started it (usually with a fabricated racist remark, of course)!

Spent a lot of time in the head's office but luckily she knew what I was like and I would often be greeted with a kind smile and just told to "try and stay out of trouble". Other than that, 95% of the teachers had awful personalities and often turned a blind eye to bullying - I was once smacked over the head in French class by a girl who demanded I give her a rubber, only for the teacher to laugh (WTF?!)...

My God did THAT turn into a massive scrap!

Infact, the ONLY good thing I remember is that my favourite teacher was the spitting image of Hugh Laurie.

Most definitely. I was a bit of a rogue and moved school at 15 luckily fell in with the "in" crowd and was the new kid on the block. Loads of laughs and was a hit with the girls. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Especially knowing what I do now

I loved school. The teachers were great and had such fun times. I was always a studious and quiet girl, very geeky, got on with my work and with many people. I was a little in awe of the louder and naughty kids, used to enjoy the antics. Of course there were rough and ready troublesome kids that I had nothing to do with.

I had a crush on my english tutor and my maths tutor and I find it hilarious now that these two are on my facebook page. They requested me via a schoolfriend who went into teaching.

I still can't call them by their christian names, I either say Mr .... Or Sir
