George Harrison Hated School but He Always Craved More Knowledge

George Harrison said the “darkness” in his childhood began when he started attending grammar school. None of the unqualified teachers could tell him how to go out into the world. The former Beatle would only learn if he was teaching himself, which he eventually did.

“The worst thing was leaving the junior high school and going to the big grammar school,” George wrote. “That’s when the darkness began and I realised… that was where my frustrations seemed to start.

“The whole idea of it was so serious. You can’t smile and you are not allowed to do this or that. Be here, stand there, shut up, sit down, and always you need those exams, those eleven-plus exams, or scholarships or GCE. That’s when the darkness came in.
