This thread is going to be full of personal experiences. I suspect that this follows an Anna-Karenina curve: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

So using that, "All happy students are alike; each unhappy student is unhappy in their own way"

I hated school. I was a good student taking "challenge" courses in elementary, then honors courses in middle school then AP courses, but the overall experience of k-12 was horrible for me. When I think about it, I cannot imagine having to go through it all again. It was horrible for me in my own way.

I think we were both unhappy the same way and I think there is going to be quite a lot of people with the same experience. While I love[d] learning new things I just hated high school, homeworks, ... as all of that was so boring.
