Why I hated my primary school


CHARLES Dickens once said, “I don’t like that sort of school... where the bright childish imagination is utterly discouraged, and where those bright childish faces... are gloomily and grimly scared out of countenance; where I have never seen among the pupils, whether boys or girls, anything but little parrots and small calculating machines.”

I can draw parallels between the English novelist’s description of schools in Victorian England and my own experiences.
