[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my students what they missed most and least about normal school . Most: friends. That’s like... it. Maybe a few said things like pep rally and football games. What they miss Least: seeing teachers, b[b]eing in class with people they don’t like, group work, classes they don’t like, school lunch, the chairs, the long days, the school security officer, having to ask to go to the bathroom, the lack of freedom. [/b]It was realllllly eye opening. I mean, we all know this is true for most to some degree. School on the whole is a not wholly pleasant experience. But when you ask them what do you MISS... they miss very little beyond their friends and getting out of the house every day. I asked my own kids too but they’re younger so their responses were different.

I highly recommend this. I realize a lot of teachers do make kids’ lives harder and though they like or tolerate some, there’s a lot they really don’t miss at all, one but. And of course I had teachers like that too. In some ways we all represent and uphold the system. Some of their grievances aren’t fair to us but some are legitimate.  [/quote]

I mean, that's how I remember it too. It can be stifling to a lot of kids (mine included), who likes the more free atmosphere at home, not asking to use the bathroom (and worse, teachers actually saying no to that). I had teachers I LOVED, and so does DD. But, that doesn't overcome the many negatives noted above.[/quote]
