Frank Muir suggests it is almost an English proverb that schooldays are the happiest days of your life.
But raconteur Robert Morley said:
"Show me the man who has enjoyed his schooldays and I will show you a bully and a bore"
And even Shakespeare said:
"the whining schoolboy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like a snail
Unwillingly to school"
(As You Like It)
