Do you remember your time at school fondly?

In-between for myself

Some of it, but not all.

Good until high school. High school okay. College....hard!

Yes. My best friend and I were the majorettes for the band and won awards. During camp in the summer, we all went including the cheerleaders/dancers (use to call them songleaders). We won awards, they did not. We all did intermix routines during the rallies in the gym, pre game or on the football field. We traveled with the band to San Francisco, UCBerkeley for band day, etc. The cheerleaders would dance/hold up the school banner and we'd have a party bus on the way home (how someone got liquor in there, no one will ever tell LOL) I think I've said this before, but I had an odd class. For some reason, out of the 400 of us, 99% all got along. There wasn't the jock/cheerleader vs nerd thing going on. It wasn't uncool to be in band or choir as many jocks were in the band and cheerleaders in the choir. I think it had to do with when we entered junior high, 4 elementary schools coming together. Our art department was being redone so we all had to take band, choir or orchestra for two years. I think it helped to eliminate any prejudices so by the time we did our 4 years in high school, we had all become friendly. There were a couple of people who had their nose in the air, but it was a few who were bully type/fight you type and would not have been popular in a regular class and one particular girl who thought she would be popular that wasn't and wouldn't talk to anyone beneath her (if you know what I mean). The classes above and below us had the usual jock/cheerleader vs nerd thing so it was an oddity. My best friend and I were in the middle. We were invited to parties, to work on decorating for homecoming, etc but we hung out mostly on our own. That was 50 years ago and friendship is still going strong.

Yes. And during every stage of it since I started in Kindergarten.

Yes, I did and would be very happy going back today. So much fun learning new concepts and applying to unexpected areas of life.

K-12, nothing special. As my mom said at the time, the teachers were just calling it in.
College, yes, fond memories. But I attended a University where Professors were required to actually be in their office and available to students during their office hours. And most gave their students their
home phone number.

High school ... no, but that was more about my home life than about school itself. I always excelled and no one was mean to me. I was more invisible than anything else.

College ... loved it, though the financial part was so hard.

 

[TippyThomas]

No. I was moved around to too many schools and really couldn't develop friendships. I was in foster care for the first several years of my life and went to different schools often due to frequent moving from family to family. I didn't really stay anywhere stable until I was adopted and really didn't develop the social skills needed to know how to become friends easily. Not much of schooling do I remember fondly.

Kind of mixed feelings about it. For the MOST PART good I suppose.

Seems like elementary school was kind of blah.... Kindergarten for half day was great, but that transition to all day school the year after that was not too fun. However by the time I "graduated" elementary school I cried because I did not want to leave.

Middle school was absolutely great. For the most part I would say HS was decent. It was scary at first, but I settled in after a while. That said, summer break was by far better than any day at school.

Mostly good. Junior high wasn't exactly great. College was fabulous.
