I loved being given a book and told to work at my own pace.
I had a best friend who insisted I was going to pass algebra and I did with an A...until I quit high school.
What I didn't like was all the rules and cliques and it was kind of like internet. lol People dividing, people telling me what was right and what was wrong...for me.
I eventually went back and got my HSED... on my time and my way. lol
I never got a free breakfast... many times, my mom couldn't afford any food, but she kept us together and miracles...that's my thoughts... took care of the rest.

@SW-User Very cool and doing things your way is the best you earned that diploma. A lot of people get there's just because they showed up everyday they didn't even have to prove their competency in the school material.

@LostNForgotten Thank you!
I think you have a point. I was pregnant and walked a mile to get there and another mile back after "class". It was harder, but not impossible. :)

It really sucked, probably the worst year of my life. I didn't get into trouble or go partying, I just skipped a lot of classes.
I plan to go back to school this fall.

@AmbivalentFriability That's pretty much how I was too. And good for you that you've decided to go back life is a lot harder with out at least your highschool so many opportunities are closed to you.
