My School Story
Memories of school: Watching the clock tick down, minute after minute, until the end of the day. Feeling like I had to be exactly the same as everybody else...or else! No one must stick out in any way. The idea that every aspect of you was being assessed and ranked, all of the time.
The worst was being on the school bus.... people kicking the back of your seat again and again, boys kissing you when you didn't want them to, having your things stolen and teachers just not caring.
As an adult I know that such a workplace wouldn't even be lawful. This place where children are forced to go every day.

How I think schools could be better.
Make children's rights human rights. School would be labeled a human rights violation if pupils were adults.
