By school, I mean primary and high school. All I could find out was how he balanced school work with his career and that paparazzi hid in the school trees to get a picture of him.

So did Michael ever publicly discuss his school experiences? Making friends? How his classes went? Favourite teachers? How he approached school work/ homework? Playing games?
 
He very briefly mentions it in the early chapters of Moonwalk. How he would performing at night, sleeping in a van going to school the next morning. I'm sure he mentions his teachers going to an easy talent show thing they had

He talks about learning in first interview with Molly Meldrum in the late 70's as well I think
 
Here's a quote from the Timothy White interview in 1977: "At school, I didn’t know how to be in class. Teachers would write home and say [giggles] "Michael comes to school to sleep." Because we would be up all night in the nightclubs, doing our acts and tours. When I’d get to school, that’d be my sleeping hours."
