This might come across as a very strange question but is it uncommon to find engineers who did not enjoy school or think highly of the schools that they attended? I have encountered numerous computing and IT types over the years who did not enjoy school or had bad experiences at school but very few electrical or mechanical engineers.
I too loved School - but after I was about 12 years old. After the age of twelve I grew to really appreciate the generosity of my teachers. I went to a Secondary Modern School in Sheffield - it was supposed to be rough but it wasn't the teachers were excellent, caring and always encouraged the best out of me. Thank you (belatedly) to Mr Smith (Maths), Mr Reeny (English), Mr Rapier (Science), Mr Lacey and Mr Needham (Woodwork), and Mr Edlington (Headmaster). They set me up for doing well in my later life.
