This is gonna be long. just a warning!
I was crazy lucky in school and I only had a few teachers that I can remember who were bitter and seemed to hate teaching (and kids, honestly
)
However, I'd say that the things I hated the most were probably little things that stacked up quickly. To give you an idea, my town is a more wealthy one, and our school system is one of the best in the state, and top 100 in the country...which is great because I know I'm getting a valuable education, but also the pressure put on every student is ridiculous. On the social side, people get really clique-ey here for whatever reason. Those who didn't quite fit a groups' mold would be kicked out of said group. I would hear people gossiping all the time, saying the worst things about their supposed best friends. Everyone was judgmental about the littlest things. I found an awesome friend group, but I just felt like there were these barriers around some people where I was almost forbidden from speaking with them.
As for the school system itself, I hated the GPA system. I can't get too into it, but the way it's structured here is awful-for example, if a student were taking a "Level 4" class (Special Needs class), then the highest GPA they could get, even with a 100 average, would be a 3.0 (Equivalent of a B- average in any of my classes.) This system ONLY benefitted students taking Honors or AP courses, and though it helped me a lot in my last 2 years of school, it TOTALLY screwed a few of my friends over when they started their college search.
I also hated that Homework was the majority of my grade in most classes-In one, it was actually 60% of my term grade-missing one assignment could drop my grade by 3-5 points. If you're present in class, participating and note taking and etc., you shouldn't have 40% of your grade be based on whether you did a sheet that can take 10-20 mins at most.
Last thing: I hated how much my school pressures people into going into college. They would bombard us with Colleges to look into, but they'd never help people who had different plans (starting careers right away, army/ROTC, gap year etc...)--they'd keep pushing you go to school. :T
All of this being said, I'm very excited to start college in the fall. As much as I like complaining, I love learning even more

if it was you I'd never want to leave...
i hate the students and teachers. some of the female teachers i had when i was in middle school was such a ***** . also, the toilets. they were so gross and stinky i didnt even dare to step in. I also HATE obnoxious inconsiderate ass holes who interrupt all the time and the teachers all of a sudden gives up and just stands or sits there and wait. I also fcking hate those guys who always reference sexual remarks and harass people. It's fcking annoying and disrespectful as ***. I understand the best friend thing and all, but I never understood why people always involve sex whenever people say stuff, but that's just my pet peeve. I also think teachers with no authority and just treat those obnoxious ass holess with care and giving them chances. I feel like the teacher should just kick them the *** out and I'm pretty sure those who don't want to be in class wouldn't give a *** at all.

Having to wake up so early in the morning.
I don't like how inaccessible it is to disabled kids, it's the reason I'm a drop-out.
I also hate how there are such a thing as mandatory lessons, which sorta ties into what I said before. While not the only reason, part of the reason I quit school is because I'm literally just really incapable of comprehending math past a basic level. Not only do I think advanced math is very unnecessary unless you plan on getting a very specific type of job where you need advanced math, but I literally was incapable of doing it, and that really says to me that they would rather I not get an education at all than skip math.
Sorry if that got a little heavy, I'm just a very bitter disabled person.

I'm not at school anymore but in my experience I won't complain about the food/toilets/lessons, yeah the food was gross (no/very little options for me anyway) the toilets were mostly disgusting and some lessons I had to take were completely pointless and awful. Honestly looking back at it now, none of that bothers me, I had a terrible time at school due to "bullying" or whatever. I went to three different secondary schools and the bullying was so bad in the second one that when I moved to the third I was terrified, I could barely speak to people there at all and ended up hardly going through fear.
I guess it's no big deal though, school isn't easy for everyone and my bad experience was my fault not the schools. I feel lucky to go through school and get educated free, and still be going to uni free of charge now, not everyone who wants an education can get one, and that's shocking. In general the school system needs a serious makeover, and not just with classes and things.

Not in school anymore, but...
frankly, everything. I'm glad it's over.
I thought about listing my reasons, but I think it'd be so long it'd break the page. Honestly, Polish schooling needs to die, it's ridiculous and only aims to raise thoughtless robots without place for creativity.

I honestly don't mind school that much. There are times when I end up dealing with some really annoying people, but for the most part there are so few in a class/they're forced to be silent.
My main issue right now with school is the fact that in about a year or so I'm gonna have to start doing huge finisher exams for subjects. The most important one is math and the grade you get on it decides largely your options for studying further and it's stressing me the **** out. I'm gonna have to study a lil under 10 math books and the exams are often very largely based on worded questions and geometry, both things I suck absolute ass at.
