Being myself, I've always hated the stagnant. The non-moving, statue-like tempo of things are what I like to avoid.

I always think that life should always be exciting. One event after another. So while we may not have realised it, being in school is pretty much the most fun time in our lifes!

Before you start disagreeing with strong objections, let me ATTEMPT to address the issue.

Firstly, most people think school isn't fun because of 2 main factors.
1: the stress
2: the workload

Now thinking twice, the stress can only get worse when we come out to society. The pressure isn't on us to do well in studies anymore. We need to fulfill our duties. As a child, as a spouse, as a parent, as a worker. Pressure comes in from your work, where your boss demands stuff, deadlines to rush. It enters through relatives, when they ask never-ending questions that you don't want to answer. From your family, where you are supposed to be mature enough to make decisions for the greater good.

Now in school, we all know about the hectic timetables and "impossible" homework amount and scolding from the teachers fussing about us from head to toe. For deadlines, when it comes to revision, we always try to keep up with it, and often fails to do so.

We can afford to. Like, if u missed a little bit everyday of your revision, the last 2 or 3 chapters of the subject might not be covered and revised when you get to the exams, and that's fine if you put your heart into the rest, you'll probably still pass. When we get out of school, that's impossible. The meeting of deadlines determine your employment. Try leaving out the last few pages of your report and you'll probably get to have a nice coffee time with your boss and a request for your resignation letter.

In school, life's exciting. You may have an idea what the teacher is gonna teach, but you don't know the approach he/she is going to take. If lucky, students might even get to play games for the education. If that's not enough, they're plenty of Co-Curricular Activities(CCAs) for you to enjoy what you love.

When you get out of school. Its a whole different case. Unless you're an entreprenuer, which most of us would NOT be, we would need to obey laws of Comparative Advantage(CA) and engage in specialisation. This means that its the same old monotonous task everyday. Its not even like reading different pages of your notes.

In school, when you go for trips, Overseas Community Involvement Programme(OCIP) or something, you get to catch up. The working life is different, you need to finish your work in advance before you take your leave. And we all know how sucky it is to do work before the time needed comes.

So in conclusion, to have an exciting life, where you can gossip about teachers without harm, gossip about other schoolmates without fear of getting fired, enjoy lotsa extra time to play games, school's the best!
