My worst experience was getting told by a teacher that I was never going to achieve anything in life. He believed that I was not capable of making it into the world and that I would be a failure. My best experience was being a student-teacher and being able to interact with younger kids.

The best is the more personal attention put by teachers on each individual students. The worst is the low amount of extracurriculars/clubs.
