When the end of summer rolls around everyone seems to get nostalgic about the whole "back to school" thing, but you and I both know that having to go back to school pretty much sucked. SO what do you REALLY not miss about being in school?
Math Class
Math and I have NEVER been friends. We just got off on the wrong foot, and sadly we’ve never been able to reconcile.

-
I HATE math and the fact that I never have to take a math class again makes me as happy as can be!
.jpg "Elisa")
-
Ditto!
Scantrons
I definitely don’t miss having to fill out those little bubbles.

And STRESSING if your pencil didn’t say #2 on it. Did it really matter?
-
Haha. That actually happened to me a couple months ago when I took the LSAT. On the day of the test I realized that none of my pencils said #2! And I FREAKED out. But I did JUST fine.
Physical Education
I work out pretty often, and quite frankly I enjoy it, but I still think P.E. SUCKS.

-
P.E. DID suck! You work out, get disgusting, and then only have 10 minutes to shower, get changed, and get to class?!? WTF?!?
-
I know! And my time management skills still suck!
-
I always cramped up.
Cafeteria Food
The laws of physics prohibit cafeteria food from being edible.
Pencil Sharpeners
The old-school style pencil sharpeners always manages to mangle your pencils— so much for that favorite Hello Kitty pencil.

-
Then right whent you thought it was sharp enough, it’d SNAP! And you’d have to start over.
-
So horrible.

-
And the “clicky” kind weren’t strong enough to withstand writing!
School Assemblies
Sure, they got you out of class, but how many motivational speakers do you REALLY need to hear?

-
These people have chairs – we had to sit on the floor!
-
Hah— Don’t you mean you sat in the floor in the snow? :)
-
I had to sit on the floor in elementary school too! In the “cafetorium,” which was part cafeteria, part auditorium. Gross!
The Germs
It’s no surprise that kids are germy, which makes schools breeding grounds for all kinds of stuff. I’m not a germaphobe or anything, but I definitely don’t miss getting sick because the kid next to you decided to sneeze on you.
BUSES
Ok, confession, I never took a bus- but I remember them smelling TERRIBLE. The only good thing about it was reading the graffiti on the seats.

Same here! I never took the bus and I’m pretty darn happy I didn’t have to!
-
Yes the hot plasticy seats gross! I took many a naps in them though.
-
By the time I got to middle school I refused to take it and made my parents drive me. It was awful!

Combination Lockers
For some reason when I got to junior high I had SERIOUS problems learning how to use a combination locker. And while I can totally use a combination lock now, they still make feel anxious.
-
I could just never remember my combination. Especially after school vacations!
-
Same here!
Mean Teachers
Every so often you’d get a teacher who was just mad the world (and consequently mad at you).
Permission Slips
I almost always managed to forget to have them signed.
-
I was always forgetting these too! My mom would sometimes be the volunteer parent going and that was the only way I got the thing signed.
-
Lucky!
-
I don’t think it ever happened to me, but it sucked to be the kid who couldn’t go on the field trip b/c of the permission slip forgetting.
Fire Drills
I don’t deny their importance, but I’m just gonna say that I don’t miss doing ’em.
UNIFORMS
I went to Catholic school and then private school all the way up until 12th grade which meant, UNIFORMS. Starchy plaid ones.

I’m sure I would have hated uniforms, but part of me thinks it’s pretty nice not to have to worry about what to wear in the morning. I sort of which I had a job where I could wear scrubs everyday!
-
You would have less to worry about, however one word: laundry.
-
True true. I liked not having to pick out clothes, but I HATED the feel of them. Itchy.
Health Class
Freshman year: Depression, heart attacks, and VD.
Sophomore year: Driver’s Ed.
Junior year: Babies Happen When You Don’t Pull Out.
Senior year: More depression, Columbine, and If You Want To Live – Go To College and Get Out Of This Town.
added by Matt Fried 08/31/2009

HI-LARIOUS.
-
Oh the Catholic School version of Health would be a laugh…and very different from the above!
-
Senior Year: 18 = Get Married And Have Babies.
FEELING TOTALLY AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE
CONSTANTLY. I remember just being SO incredibly insecure EVERY. DAY. ICK. TERRIBLE.
added by Chelsea 09/01/2009
The Bathroom Pass
Because we’re clearly not mature enough to go to the bathroom and come back. We need to carry a dirty, germ-ridden piece of paper as proof that we are allowed out of the classroom. Hi, prison.
added by Susie 09/05/2009
-
LOL— love this!
-
Oh yea! I always wondered how many germs were on those things?
-
Seriously disgusting. But I bet they helped build up our immune systems.
Drama Club
My 15 minutes lasted for two glorious years as the lead in the fall play. It was fun, but with the drama club, always came “the drama”.
added by Matt Fried 09/08/2009

Of course you were in Drama Club, of course.
