None; hated every moment of the boredom. Liked university much better. Actually got to learn something!
My favorite grade was 9th grade. I had the most fun and my best grades.
I can’t say I had a favorite grade because I always looked forward to going to school and enjoyed each year. Well, except for 6th grade…I had a really mean teacher. One of my classmates told me years later that his mother took him to a therapist he was so traumatized. Some people simply don’t belong in the education field!!
Grade 6 was my winner. The school went from 1 to 6 making us the ‘big shots’ plus we had the best teacher ever. He probably made each of us more confident is some special way. God bless you Mr. Martin!
My favorite grade was 3rd grade. I had a wonderful teacher and we learned multiplication!
