I was miserable at school, I was shy, bullied and without friends a lot of the time. You know the child who always got picked last for PE? That was me...
This was rarely picked up on by parents/teachers.
Anyway, water under the bridge, my life has got a lot better since then . I now have 2 DC aged 6 and 8 who generally seem to enjoy school, are getting on fine and have friends. However they have been asking me and DH recently about whether we got told off at school, who our friends were, did we like going.
I've been vague "oh sometimes I liked it sometimes not" because I don't want to be negative about school/education but do you think this is dishonest and not the right thing to do?

If you hated school yourself - would you tell your DC?
