My daughter will be going back to year ten on Wednesday. She's got exams to concentrate on and that is going to be hard for her as she has mild ADHD and as yet undiagnosed dyslexia. We only had the dylexia a few weeks before the summer term when a new school and a new teacher posed the idea! No wonder it has been so hard for her but doesn't it just show what a rotton state 'the system' is in?
I hated school and I've always wanted to find schools so that my kids enjoyed their education. My daughter enjoyed her last term at her new school as much as she could at a new school! But school is always going to be a hard place. It is full of hormonal teenagers fighting to find their place and then there's the teachers - some good, some c**p. Poor teachers do not help matters do they? The good ones are few and far between sadly.
So that hating school thing is very common. Fingers crossed for everyone going back to school that this term it is a better one though.

That's very true. Most of the teachers in my school can't control the class. But there are a few teachers who make everyone shut up when they walk in the room.
Good luck with your son tomorrow, year 7 is a new and sometimes scary time. I have to go in tomorrow and look after them all.
I'm scared about that too Callum, they know how I'm out of control with friends. Good luck in getting classes with them.
