    Ask yourself this.

    What was the first thought you had once you realized you wouldn’t have to go to school anymore?

    was it “oh thank god! I’m out of there!” like a sane person

    or!

    “y’know what? I wanna spend my adult life in that horrible envirnment too!”

    And I don’t even need to finish my argument after that

      A normal school experience does not end with a “thank god I’m out of there”

        normal? No, every normal school expirience ends like that.

        Acceptable? Yes, every acceptable school expirience is pleasant

      For me, there wasn’t a “wouldn’t have to go to school anymore” moment.

      It was a “I have no idea what I’m doing here and can’t afford this” moment.

      For some it might be “I had some inspiriting teachers and want to hand on that inspiration”.

      I had a conversation with a fellow student in university who studied to become a teacher and talked about a math teacher who really made her appreciate the subject. I said I also had a very good math teacher, even tho I always liked math and was bored before he managed to individualize the tasks and gave me harder ones that challenged me. Later we realized we come from the same town, went to the same school and talked about the same teacher.

      I hope she is a good and inspiriting teacher by now
