Do children hate school? If so why?

[MurkScribe]

I now consider myself A radical unschooler and advocate for public education, but rather under a democratic free schooling model, which is a much different solution than probably most people who want to reform education, but I think I lost the reasoning or originally the fundamental reasons. Do children enjoy being in school, if not why do they hate school in the first place? And what are the problems with it? Can I have some statistic on student dissatisfaction or something like that? Or can I have some readings on education?

I've actually done surveys on this myself (on 2 occasions)... a lot of teens in 2015 seem rather unhappy with the situation of education in the U.S. While I'm not sure about wide statistics, it's possibly worth making a survey yourself.

This is worth checking out.

I haven't got a wide scale survey about how much people like school, but at least 1/2 of the kids in my grade like school. Seemingly. I'm probably one of the few who truly despises it (or shows it).

This is in 7th grade, just fyi.

Yeah. I didn't start hating school until 10th grade, when everything just really collapsed around me and I realized everything was bullshit. I actually saw cracks in the wall during 9th grade, even though that was my best year in school (i.e. zero tolerance policies and special education).
