What was your favorite grade level in school?
 
What was your favorite grade level in school?

Mine would be fifth grade. I did a lot of reading to the point where my teacher took two other classmates out to dinner to celebrate how many points we had in our reading program. I also won some in-school awards for my writing. We did some cool projects too.
A close second would be second grade. We had a class Guinea pig and some type of reptile (I forget which but they were small), and we also had some squirrels outside our classroom. It was a mom squirrel named Sarah and her babies Sunshine and Squirt. I saw my teacher a few years ago at my college honors convocation and she literally cried because she was so happy for me!

I quite enjoyed year 6, 10 and 12 due to the last years of primary and high school and knowing the whole world was out there to explore. :hehe:

Jealous you had a class pet, Dez! I don't think class pets are a big thing over here. Though in primary school, we had goldfish in the receptionists office. Also, lovely to hear how you saw your teacher at your college honors...that's a sweet little reunion! :)

Educationally, years 10-11 (15-16 years old) were my favourite grades. I loved the subjects I was studying (History, ICT, Religious Studies and French, on top of english, maths and the sciences). And all my teachers were great, particularly my History teacher who was so sarcastic and my Religious Studies teacher who I got on well with. I did super well in all my exams too. I'd argue that for me was the best of high school (I was mostly depressed and anxious), but then I also made a close friend in year 13 (18 years old) which leads me on to...

Socially and emotionally...probably years 1-2 (5-6 years old). I met a best friend who I was super close to at this point in time. It was also this time that I had my favourite teacher. I actually couldn't imagine my childhood without those two people :blush:

I'd have to say the 7th to 9th grade. They were the worst years interacting with my peers; but educationally, I thrived.

School wasn't a great experience for me, but I would say I felt most comfortable in year 12/13 (sixth form). I spoke to people who Iwould have avoided all throughout high school and actually got on well with them too. I feel like I found my place a bit better then.

Otherwise, year 6 was good. I had a good teacher and good friends, and honestly life was much simpler back then :bleh:

I have specific teachers but not entire school years. I struggled tremendously but no one realized or cared enough because my scores were often high. The level of stress to get there was unreal though and no child should suffer that much. I battled with procrastination, school related anxiety, worries about grades etc. and socially I was a mess.

I do remember feeling good when my peers who otherwise wanted nothing to do with me except come to me if they needed free tutoring....where in awe with my writing in 8th grade and the entire class complimented me after reading a piece in front of the class.....even said if I were to write a book they'd be in line waiting to buy it. But I wouldn't say it was my favorite year at all. A lot went down.

I've never liked school too much or engaged in the school life, but if I was to choose, I would definitely pick my junior high school years. That was where I met my best friends and I miss these years and my friends a lot. I have not met any people since then who would make me laugh as they did.
