While it’s not uncommon to hear students say “I hate school,” some are really suffering and desperately want out.
I can relate.
I became an educator not because I loved school, but because I was bored and miserable in school. I wanted to figure out how to change that for others. I started this blog to share ideas about how to do that.
Like my own experience, many students today are bored and disengaged for many hours each day, despite the best efforts of their teachers and parents to try to help them make the most of school. Many are depressed. They feel a complete lack of control over their lives, and have a bleak view of the future.

Some of these kids, having Googled “I hate school,” find their way to School-Survival.net, a support site for kids who can't stand school.
