Did you enjoy school?

How have your experiences first time round affected your desire to enter the profession?

Also, amongst the people who you know who study/intend to study teaching, have you noticed a pattern in their motivations to be teachers?

My experience of school sucked as it went a really bad community school :s-smilie:

I know people usually go into the profession for the stability and the decent wages. But that is based on what I gather from just two people. So it may not be complete fact.

I loved every second of my primary school education and I strongly believe that this had an impact on my career choice.
Some of my primary school teachers were fab and I will always remember them and some of the lessons they taught.

My defining memory of school is learning that two of my friends in year 10 were being regularly sexually assaulted by the headmaster.

...........Yikes :s-smilie:

I coasted through secondary school being a little ****, doing very little and hating pretty much every subject. I only went to sixth form because I couldn't be arsed to get a proper job....
