i've been to 2 schools in grade school, another 2 in high school.^_^ could the reason be because your family had been moving from one location to another constantly during those times? because that's my reason for having been through 4 schools up to high school level.^_^

We moved from Scotland(1) to Northern Ireland(2) and back again(3) after I started school,then A "New" high school was being acquired where I lived,and in the meantime I bussed 2 years to a school further away(4) until the local one was ready and I moved back..Finished School(5) in Scotland,Moved to Northern Ireland again,and being a different education system had to do another year(6) before "A" levels (Senior High?) at a different school(7)..was a long haul!

I have only learned in 3 school. I went to a primary school, a middle school and now I've been at Quochoc high school, a famous school of Vietnam. And I want to go abroad to learn in a good university, in England or USA,...

it is indeed a long haul. i couldn't guess whether you enjoyed it or not, it has pros and cons. but one thing for sure is, you probably learned a lot from experiencing different systems of education. i, on the other hand moved from private to public in grade school and then back to private during my first and second year in high school then back to public again during the last 2 years. i can tell the difference in quality of education between the two.^_^

Wow thats a good few schools - I went to 3 all together including my high school. It must have been strange having to be the new kid so often and getting used to different ones? x

Switching back and forward,having schooled in both Scotland and Ireland at various times for both primary and secondary schooling, I've had the dubious distinction of having saddled with the nicknames of both "Jock" and "Irish" in my school career!

I had been studying in the same elementary school for 6 years. The school was 3 km or so away from my house. I still remember my brother who was 2 years older than me always accompanied me to walk to our destination every morning, whereas I walked home alone after school dismissed as my brother had to spend an another hour for his extra class. Four years later we shifted to a new house at a farther place as my dad had got his new job there. Anyway my dad still insisted to let me to continue my study in the same school for the remaining two years. I felt quite happy for I still could get together with my good playmates there. As a result of the longer distance I had to go by bus every morning and after school. I had been spending my middle school days in two different high schools due to certain undesirable reasons happened in those days. I felt pleasant that I still could come across so many good quality and responsible teachers as well as the helpful and hospitable classmates in the two high schools respectively. I still keep contact with some of them until this moment. Happy posting and have a nice day.

2 or 3, u know form my primary school to middle school , the 2 shool was use the same place , only a playgroud divede them .so it may considered 1 school for me .but even worse, my dad is a headmater in the 2 school , so I was "looked after" everytime when I in school.it seemed he can know eveything about me , so I must be a good student . that;s not fun ,I must say .in hight school ,I thought I can get rid of that control,but 'cause my dad had a very good relationship with the top leaders there , so I was also" took good care of".ok, my exams points , my good or bad beheavior , even my unsuccessful love story .. my dad would be the first one to know it . I still remermber when he know I liked a guy how he acted, ..that's terrible ...forget it...

I went to five schools through my elementary years. i went to the same middle school and HS however. It was pretty easy to adjust to different elementary schools. I would not want to have to adjust to different high schools or middle schools though.

Wow, that's a lot of schools. I flip-flopped between private schooland home school most of kindergaten through 12th grade. Then I spent two years at one college and one year at another. I then took a class with a correspondance school. I guess that's five, but maybe the colleges don't count.
