I can't help but feel like I'm getting older when I start to look back at my school days wistfully. If you'd have asked me at the time I'd have said it was a nightmare and I couldn't wait to leave, but now I'd love to be back. Maybe a slightly different aspect for me as I went to boarding school, but living with your mates was pretty awesome at times.

I've never played as much football as when I was there, basically every day. We did a hell of a lot out of school as well, stuff I couldn't afford to do now. Obviously there was a lot of stuff that was crap but I reckon if I could do it all again I'd be laughing.

Am I alone in thinking this? Someone make me feel younger by saying they went to school and paid for things with ha'pennys.

nah, university and job much, much better. Playing football all the time was great, though.

I quite liked school. Was always the little crazy kid who got on with most people. Was geeky enough to befriend the geeks in school, but also lived on the council estates/etc so all of the "cool" kids used to play football/rugby/cricket with me. Occasionally get reminiscent about school, but nah, it's far better being an awkward 23 year old than an awkward 14 year old.

Good times were had by all...well except Martin.

Doing a little study for my GMAT, and i was thinking about my school days....

I quite liked school, but the ineptness of my peers held me back educationally because the secondary school i went to was rubbish, and had loads of thick kids (regularly features near the bottom of the school league tables). To cit a couple of examples, i was doing simultaneous equations when i was 10 years old at primary school. Went to Secondary school, and they were teaching to the common denominator which equated to Long multiplication and long division. Didn't go back to simultaneous equations until i was 14... 4 years later of getting bored.

Similar thing when it came to computer studies... Wrting code when i was a kid on the ZX Spectrum.. Come GCSE, no bugger exceot me and a mate could code.

Thought it would get better when we got to A levels... again, 75% of the class had no experience of coding. So got bored of that.

i sometimes miss it, but then i remember i had no real desire to learn after a certain age, i did miserably in some exams despite the fact i'm much more intelligent that the results depict (if i say so myself )

i think really i miss the people, banter etc. even certain teachers dare i say it.

I miss it a lot. I'm still in contact with most of my friends from school, but it's not the same. Looking back, there are quite a few things i'd do differently.

I don't remember most of it.

The bits I do remember were playing drums, guitar, squash or football for hours on end.

Can't be bad.

Nostalgia taking over.

School was fecking immense but I knew that while I was going so I went in everyday knowing it would be a great day.

Not that I would ever want to go back. There's something not right if the best days of your life are behind you.
