   She’s right. The past isn’t what it used to be!

   I survived 1-12 (not K-12 then). That is about all that can be said for it…

   I mostly enjoyed those days. Must be something wrong with me.

   We always tend to remember things the way they weren’t!!

   all the bad stuff that happened in school tends to fade so that the few good times stand out more and that is all we remember. I disliked school from grade 1 to grade 12. I am just sooooooooo glad I am not in school in this day and age.

   I loathed school with a passion.
   And I didn’t even have the kind of pressures (standardized testing and all that crap) that students have today.

    I do not long to be back in school, but I had some great times there as well as some forgettable moments. And I don’t miss the homework.

    Some good times, but mostly neutral to un-good. Like, @Nab, I never went to K; don’t know whether it had been invented yet. Really can’t think of a time that I’d want to go through again. But it is interesting to look back and realize those moments that, if they’d happened differently, would have changed your life.

    Lynn’s Notes:
    I think I see my school days through “rose coloured glasses.” I remember mostly good times, positive times with good friends and good teachers. I tend to forget the teasing, the bullying, and the tears. I’ve put aside the failures, the fiascos, and the teachers who made me want to quit. I’ve forgotten all the bad stuff and the sad stuff… and things I did that I wish, if given a chance, I’d do differently. My years in the hallowed halls now seem like the “good old days,” and perhaps that’s for the best. If I learned anything I guess I learned how to laugh at myself and be happy.

    School I can take it or leave it. I liked to learn just not the way they wanted to teach it. Jr. college at least was better.

    The more I read the strip and Lynn’s notes, the more I admire her. She puts her flaws out for all to see and criticise, and yet she carries on.

    Like many others, I remember grade school as mostly positive, though as my children go through it, I know I was also anxious about forgetting homework, bad spelling grades, friend drama, etc. I know I was lonely in 3rd and 4th grade, and on the outskirts even in 5th and 6th. Then I moved, and in junior and senior high, the only times I was happy was in academic classes.

    Now, college/university, I definitely see with rose-coloured glasses, because I did have friends who loved me, and between all the jealousy, there was friendship and belonging.

    I only liked school because it meant I didn’t have to be at home. But I hated jr high and high school was just okay. On the other hand, I loved college!
    
    Nab and I are in the same age group and Kindergarten definitely existed then. Maybe just not in the area he grew up in.
