I enjoy school, although obviously some aspects of it are better than others. We all have the subjects we enjoy and excell at, as well as those we despise. I hated Maths; I can not imagine a subject as dull as fiddling with figures for an hour and a half - but it turns some people on: to each his own.
The subjects I enjoyed were Art, English, Biology and Ancient History. It's good that schools offer a balanced curriculum; if we discover what we are good at and enjoy we're likely to pursue a fulfilling carreer in that field.
School also gives us friends. On the downside, schools often have teachers who don't teach because they like educating students, but rather they enjoy the feeling of power they have over their classes. Those kind are pathetic, often using petty and cruel tactics in proving their power. Put a tick in the plus column for the many good teachers the education system produces, too.
