<p>Anyone else feel the same? I guess it's a combination of the people and the work. I think I like learning in a less stressful environment.</p>
<p>I'd just like it if school attendance was not compulsory.</p>
<p>I feel the same way exactly!</p>
<p>Learning is technically absorbing anything that's new, so sure, I'll take that over school any day.</p>
<p>Anyone else just love to absorb random facts? Like are there any good sites with random facts I can check compulsively to learn something new? (Aside from Wikipedia, of course. I'm addicted there already. :) ) </p>
<p>The newspaper is also awesome too!</p>

<p>I know how you feel. The only things I like about school are my latin and english class-where my teachers rock! they really make it learning, not rote memorizing</p>
<p>I'm totally with you. If classes were just pass/fail I would actually work harder since I would no longer be working for grades but rather for myself.</p>
<p>Learning is the relatively permanent change in behavior due to prior experience. Get that straight. I wish school wasn't so uptight with regulations and requirements.</p>
<p>I hate school but I love learning. </p>

<p>I think that it is much better to learn in a less stressful environment. I think that it wouldn’t be so stressful if the teacher tried to be more entertaining. Not stopping the class, but doing something to catch the attention of people so that learning, something we like, won’t be something we dread to do.</p>
<p>There are some things I love learning, and am happy to go to school to learn (i.e. my two languages i'm studying), but I hate learning other things like sciences. it's silly...i'm not going into any science-related field, why am i forced to take science classes?</p>
<p>i feel the exact same way.</p>
<p>I probably would like school though, if mine wasn't such a crap hole.</p>
<p>Not to get all transcendental on you all, but I think we'd like school more if it weren't so institutional. It's too rigid, which ends up wasting a lot of time with joke classes while we could be learning subjects we like. E.g., I could be learning Russian or economics, but instead I'm watching pointless, grammar-school level presentations in English class. But the thing is, school has to be this way because not everyone is as self-motivated as CCers. :p</p>
<p>meh i hate school... I wish i could just show up on test day and get the same straight As that ive gotten my entire life...</p>
<p>I agree, but college will probably not have any of the problems you have with high school.</p>

Agree with this totally, plus ds's sentiment. Lol I was trying to take that computer course, one of the very few courses I was interested in, and I requested to drop math, english, science, history, language, and all failed. Lol..."graduation requirement", 4 years of english...LMFAO. Regulations, I don't even feel like starting...I'd just like it if they let me listen to iPods.</p>
<p>I was spoiled this summer at an arts camp where learning and developing was the top priority. There weren't grades, just frequent interaction with the instructor. But the best part was the other people there.... Maybe it was because it was an arts camp, but these were kids who knew what they were good at in life and wanted to pursue it 7,8,9,10 hours a day, and yet were completely interested in everything you had to say. The competition was minimal. </p>
<p>School isn't complete misery, but it's nothing like that, where you learn to learn rather than to get accepted to college.</p>
