I found that the further that I got into high school the better it became. There isn't a much more satisfying feeling than understanding university calculus in 12th grade (senior year for all you yanks).As for uniforms, I don't mind them. Unless your government is pointing a gun at your head, nobody is "forcing" you to attend a school where they are mandatory, so I think the "supressing personal freedom" argument is a bunch of crap.
