For those of us who are still in school, i thought it might be nice if people had a thread where they could talk about it. (maybe even get help with homework, just kidding)

XD

Too much homework! The homework is drving me up the wall.

I quite agree, but if we have that much how to we technically have any bloody time to be on here?

Simple, I haven't done it yet...I'm a horrible procastinator.

Oh dear, as am I actually.

im the epitamy of procrastinating. XD

im the epitamy of procrastinating. XD
me too, there are things last year i was supposed to turn in, i turned on the last day of school

i think school's pretty cool. you meet with your friends there and plan what to do after school.

i think school's pretty cool. you meet with your friends there and plan what to do after school.

very true, but I still want to be freeeeee from school =]

For me, the annoying part about school is to actually getting there in the morning.

I like school, I just sit infront of a computer all day *suckers*
But I have to wake up 6 am everyday XD

I'm going to die in school this year. x_x My parents expect straight A's but I'm in algebra 2 honors with this one teacher. Every year, he give about 4 A's in his class, and the average score on the first test was about a 40%.*dies* I got a C+ but my parents don't know yet.

Don't worry oblivion, the best thing to do is tell your parents, believe me trying to hide that grade from them is much worse then just telling them what you got.

Well, from my experience, it's kinda not cause I tell them, then they get mad, then they forget and ask me again, and I tell them, and they get mad again, and I tell them I told them before, and then they don't believe me... And then they forget again, and it goes on for quite a while...

Maybe you should get your parents to keep a file of your results or something, and when you tell them, you get them to write it down, so the next time they declare you never told them, you can ask them to dig out the file... :sweat:

Bah, i can't wait to get out of school. But then again, I don't think life is going to be much better after school. Meh. :(

exams mode now...gah.

i like school, but i don't like the atmosphere at school when exams are just over, you get friends telling you they do shit in exams, and when they get their results, its 90, 95%.

Keep up the good work mates.!!!

god i hate honors classes. i would drop out, but my parents would kill me. and also i'd be in classes with dumb people i dont know.
its a nightmare trying to balance out school and sports. <_<

School sucks ass. I have to wake up 5:30 in the morning, take a 1&1/2 hr. bus ride, get a shit load of homework, take another 1 & 1/2 hr. bus ride home. Normally get home around 5:30-6:00 P.M. and ugh, just horrible. I do my homework on the bus >.>. All my teachers hate me cuz I flirt too much and blurt out random comments in the middle of class such as "Old wrinkly people confuse me". But the key to success is...
ONLY SHOW YOUR PARENTS THE WORK YOU GET A B OR ABOVE ON. Live by that, and you will do well ^.^ That is, until parent teacher night... and semester >.>

Right then............

my english teacher's really hot. XD

my english teacher's really hot. XD

Lucky! <_<

Anyways, school's O.K. for me. Lots of homework, gifted, and honors... But I can wake up pretty late due to the fact that school starts at 9:00 am for me. :lol:

School life is great, lol.

Gonna start with the real Japanese classes tomorrow, done with learning kana ^_^

i wish it didnt start so early... 7:40! my word! otherwise, everything else is okay so far.

so far, i've gone to 2 middle schools, the first one was...well...we'll leave it at 'violent'. But the one i'm going to now is okay..i guess...and i have a language teacher is from hell.. :heh:

School life is great, lol.

Gonna start with the real Japanese classes tomorrow, done with learning kana ^_^

my school's thinking of replacing french with either mandarin or japanese.

....im trying to figure out why.

i wish that my school had the option of taking jappanise(spelling?).....

XD *hands link's g/f a dictionary

i wish that my school had the option of taking jappanise(spelling?).....
Me too... Actually not because I wouldn't be able to take it. I got spanish trying to get atleast on credit and I really like band....

You could take a course out of school... :think:

^ yeah.. but some require money

Something I don't have

oh hey! never saw this thread,,,

My school doesn't even have a bloody orchestra program, i hate it. :Master: :mad:

Mine doesn't either, just band.

We have a new weird teacher this year :/ She's german, so she speaks like Arnold but in Swedish. Also, for some reason she calls me 'schmoo'

:think:

OMG!!!! im sooooooooo happy!!!!!! My language teacher is getting fired!!!! she is a bitch...we all hate her. And when she anoused that she was leaving, everyone started cheering! And she's leaving on thursday, my birthday! What a gift.....! :heh:

My English teacher is hot :mellow:

..................................okaaaaaay, that was random....................

My English teacher is hot :mellow:

yay for hot english teachers ^_^

....my last year's english teacher caught me checking her out.

....this year, nothing yet.....

Most of my teachers are nice. Especially the Japanese teachers. And the teachers from Japan too, lol.

I have a teacher called Yukari (Yukari-sensei), which soooo reminds me of Azumanga Daioh :ph3r: only the name though, she's nice, lol XD

Mine doesn't either, just band.

My school may only have a band program... and a performance music... and other things... anyway, we have a huge music program. but no orchestra :(

As does mine. It makes no sense....

:\ My school don't even offer music as a subject.

damn. there there *pats on shoulder*. music is the only thing i can be in and escape from reality at school. occasionally english, but thats it.

i played the saxophone in band, but i quit to be in art....im gonna die arn't i??

All of use will eventually....
Projects are over(at laest for now) Just Science Fair at the moment. I hate my science teacher. He creeps the hell out of me...

we had a teacher last year that was a total perv. he'd pretend to drop a pen and look up THE KIDS' SKIRTS.... we tried soooooooo fucking hard to get him fired, but the princialbe wouldn't hear it. When ever he'd pass buy me, i'd zip my jacket up...he was so scary...

:\ My school don't even offer music as a subject.

:mellow:

we have a fall sports pep rally, but no spring sports pep rally.

its soo unfair since tennis is in the spring and indoor track starts winter.

Oh my thats so ilogical.

Agreed XD
And...we have a band and drumline program, band is an elective class in my school, and drumline is an after school thing. I play flutey in band ^_^.
Haha my teachers are old except for my history teacher, she's 29 :P

Flute? I do, too.

our schools marching band has a whopping 16 members. i used to be in it and then i quit.

My school has the biggest jazz program ever. Over 100 students separated into 4 bands(a,b,c,d). It's sooooo hugeXD

My school just started a jazz thing, I wanted to join but the class was in the morning and I have to work in the morning.

My school has a jazz band after school....It isn't big, though.

my school has a very small jazz band, only ten people are in it i believe.

My school has a jazz band, but since it's a start of a new year, and they haven't performed yet, I am not exactly sure how big it is.

I would really appreciate it if people wouldn't swear in this thread, thanks very much.

What on earth are you talking about?

what ever happened to freedom of speech and expression?

Yes, really. What swear?

damn.

thats what you meant?.....

...I think that's the only swear word.

.............. right. isnt this going off topic? >.<

I go back to school soon!!! *DREADDREAD*

You *haven't* started school yet?

huh? im in the school holidays :) BUT SCHOOL IS COMING BACK......... *DREADDREADDREADDREAD*

im already into my second month in school..

yes thats what i meant.

You got upset because someone said "damn"? :mellow:

Anyways.. I've been in school for two months also. mochikin, where do you live?

You got upset because someone said "damn"? :mellow:


really, produgy? cuz someone said "damn"?..

..you should check out GC right now XD

Damn just seems so... trivial... I practically don't count as a swear.

Ok.

lets get on topic again.

i dont have anything going on in my school, cept the football teams actually doing good! theyre 4-0. last time they were this good was in 1984.

You got upset because someone said "damn"? :mellow:

Anyways.. I've been in school for two months also. mochikin, where do you live?

i live in Australia, along with Sunny Kimiko and Shizuno (?) - they're both my friends :) How does the holidays work for people over your place?

Yes, it is a very crude, crass word that i just find irratating when people use it for not obvious reason, anyways, i am swamped with test, although i will find time to enjoy this weekend, hopefully watch all the monty python films, yay.

I've been in school for over 9weeks now. :mellow:

We have a new weird teacher this year :/ She's german, so she speaks like Arnold but in Swedish. Also, for some reason she calls me 'schmoo'

:think:

My 5th grade teacher called me samalina....

samalina?!

thats real.......(lack of words).....unprofessional..XD

Oh my how...strange

She was a bit hyper, but she would allways let us play dodgeball with other classes. Were undefeated! She actualy played with us too, and she was damn good.

Im getting sick of school. Im actualy learning things in 2 classes, science and math. All the rest is stuff I already knew from years back...

i dont learn anything in school except spa. and chem.

everything else is basically self-explanatory

What grade are you in? If you don't learn anything beside those two classes, I'd suggest bashing the teachers or changing school.

10th grade.

and yes, i do enjoy a good teacher bashing.

my school his horrabley(sp?) unorganized....

Eh... I don't know why, but in my middle school and elementary school, we weren't allowed to play dodgeball. But now, in high school, we play it once a week, freshman vs. the boys weights team.

im real good at dogeball. People say that i can do the matrix(sp?)...and i through pretty hard and far.

Yes. I can, too, if I get angry. Ah... sounds Hulk-ish, but if I'm really into it, I started aiming at their heads, or neck, or feet when they're walking.

sounds like a regular me

Hm... well, it's difficult, I think, to play against upperclassmen, who are doing weights. I mean, they throw 50 pounds, you can hear it hit. You just keep hearing "WHAM WHAM!" and girls shrieking. It is quite funny to watch it from the sidelines.

I quite enjoy dodgeball, you can bash classmates without a good reason, my that sounded a bit more boyish than i wanted it to, hmmmmm how to revise ah well...

it's the only time you get to nail your enamies...IN THE FACE!!! :shifty: :lol:

no dogeball for me. they say us high schoolers play those sports to "violently". and thats partially true. I really dont wanna get nailed in the head by some of my friends that are on the football team..

..but Ultimate frisbee kicks some ass...

i love ultimate frisbee..

That's a very good point MuFFiNmAsTeR

What grade are you in? If you don't learn anything beside those two classes, I'd suggest bashing the teachers or changing school.

8th grade...

*gets all emotional*

I have no idea what im doing in life! Im already worring about collage and things like that, and there to much work for me to handle! I just feel like sitting there for hours, just doing nothing :cry:

Hm... pressure gettin' to ya? Yes, I know how you feel, actually.

Yes, dodgeball is fun. This must sound sadistic or something, but I love hearing the shrieks of people afraid/in pain...

my school his horrabley(sp?) unorganized....

horribly actually is how you spell it, (patts on shoulder, its alright):lol:

hey, dont make fun of link's g/f's spelling!

only i can!

I wan't!

Can we correct your spelling errors now?

Lol. I think he/she spelled badly intentionally... And since there's so much talk about games played in school, I thought I might post my school's curriculum. :\
1st Year (13 year-olds): Netball, Gymnastics, Track & Field events
2nd Year (Where I'm now): Basketball, Rock-climbing, Badminton
3rd Year: Softball, Rugby, Volleyball
I come from an all girl school, so the whole system's rigid like hell. So those who can play dodgeball, be glad! XD

You are quite right Stel, thank you.

And yes go right ahead, correct my spelling.

Can we correct your spelling errors now?

go ahead. people learn from their mistakes ;)

@ Stel: only three years?...........

Muffinmaster: 3 years for a Japanese junior high school...

ACT has the oddest school system, I swear. As far as I know, we're the only place that make Years 11 & 12 be college, as opposed to the last two years of high school. So, we're at a school for 4 years, then we have to go to a NEW one for the last two! Which has lead to a lot of confusion about people thinking Inu, Des and I are older than we are, because we're in college XD

High School is VERY piss easy compared to College. You year 10 canberrans, WATCH OUT, you're in for a shock next year =_=

That's weird. I have never heard of something like that before... merging high school and college.

High School is VERY piss easy compared to College. You year 10 canberrans, WATCH OUT, you're in for a shock next year =_=

I didn't need to hear that.

Euh... today in orchestra, someone accidentally stepped on someone else's bow, and it snapped... very uncleanly. *shudder* I would hate for that to happen to me. The girl started to cry, too...

Wow, that sounds a little like the time someone dropped a bass clarinet, it snapped in half. Fun for the whole family.

Euh... today in orchestra, someone accidentally stepped on someone else's bow, and it snapped... very uncleanly. *shudder* I would hate for that to happen to me. The girl started to cry, too...

Oh my, is that girl ok?!!

Heh, I remember last year when I played To Zanarkand on the piano at school, then afterwards two of my fingers were bleeding. What's up with that?

Euh... today in orchestra, someone accidentally stepped on someone else's bow, and it snapped... very uncleanly. *shudder* I would hate for that to happen to me. The girl started to cry, too...

? why would you start to cry over something like that? that's kind of stupid if you ask me sheesh. Take that someone else's bow until they buy you a new one, that's my solution.

EDIT: we were having this really big concert so we were practicing like mad crazy. 3 of my fingers on my right hand had blisters on them, so i had to pluck with my pinkie. :blink: my fingers and pretty good calluses on them too.

"why would you start to cry over something like that? that's kind of stupid if you ask me sheesh. Take that someone else's bow until they buy you a new one, that's my solution."


O.O Well, I wouldn't necessarily cry, I'd be rather mad, but usually, people get very attached to their instruments, you know... as one set. She was all right, she didn't make a big drama scene or anything. *applauds her for that* I hate it when people make a big deal.
And yes, it is easy to buy a new one, but usually, it's just not the same...

Exactly, a little bit more empathy might be in order...

That reminds me..This one kid was playing the guitar last year and broke the neck somehow O_O

School is awesome, I get straight A's, 99.99% average last time, and I'm going to Harvard

Way to go DarkSage!!!

You "get" straight A's "last time?"

As in, you currently get them... previously?

o_O

You "get" straight A's "last time?"

o_O
Well I haven't gotten a report card since June... so yeah...

Still way to go, Harvard is like the ultimate school in the U.S. right?

It depends on what you want. I heard that Harvard is best if you want law, but Yale is best if you want medicine. So it just depends on what department. And getting straight A's isn't everything. A person I acquainted with got a perfect score on her SAT's, straight A student, blah blah blah, all that good stuff. But, she didn't really work or anything, so she probably didn't have any experience in real life, so she didn't get accepted to Harvard.
I think, besides good grades, you also need to do extracurricular activities, sports, maybe some sort of job. Because I think the thing that is missing from my acquainted friend is that she didn't have a job. A job shows that you are responsible, and are a leader for your own self, and can survive by yourself. That's just what I think though.

Correct, you need extra stuff as welll. And I've done Community service, and a few schoool clubs and I'm in the school ensemble ;)

Oooh, a school form.. how nifty. Am I allowed to rant and rave about how ditzy my math teacher is this year? :D

My soacal studies teacher was banned from hooters...i don't know what you have to do to get banned from that place. well, i don't feel safe around him anymore.:blink:

*blinks* Oh my..

yeah, i almost threw up. :sick: and i trusted him.... :sick:

Aww! Maybe... it was.. huh.. I dunno.. maybe he said something mean about one of the girls? *shrug*

i dought you get banned for insalting the girls.:blink: :sick:

*dunnos* I don't exactly go there.. and I doubt I'm hooter material.. lol

i hate that place with a pasion.

anyway back on topic, we took school pictures today, and i sware that there trying to blind us with the flash.

It wouldn't surprise me. My school pictures are taken when you sign up.. and last year.. seeing as how it was my first year at East.. I didn't know this.. and I just threw on cloths to go regester then was planning to go back to bed.. heh..

my school requires for your pic to be taken so they can keep an "ID" card of you.

<_<

we have that to, and i came out looking like a mixter between a drunk and a goat.<_<

*nod* Same here. School id's... It's the only way to get a book from the library and the only way to get into like, school dances.. which I never go to.. The only one I might go to this year is my Junior Prom.

oh mine's for identifying students if they do anything wrong, since there are cameras everywhere in my school.

..even in the boys locker room. but none in the girl's locker room.

we have carmeras i our locker room (girls) thats why i change in the bathrooms, were(i hope) there aren't any cameras

I'd hope there arn't any in there either.. There shouldn't be any in the locker rooms either.. Girls or Boys. It's wrong.

EDIT: We have cameras, but I dunno if there's any in the locker rooms.. I just know they're around.. Saw some tapes when we got a tour of the school last year in my Physical Science class.

when ever my teachers get a chance, they watch the cameras and laugh at kids that trip..exc. It's true, i've walked in on them...

Aw, that's not very nice.

our schools just too focused on preventing a columbine from happening.

*nod* That is understandable..

Yes, I don't think anyone wants anything like that to happen in their school.

Though tapes of kids tripping are funny.

Cameras in locker rooms could be an offense. I think that's illegal. O.o

We have cameras everywhere else though.

There are cameras in my school but some of there are not switch on. Probably place to scare us or something. I remember once when it was suppose to be Total Defense Day so they switched off the vending machine, some people wanted to get drinks so they switch it on. The discipline master saw them on the camera and came screaming at them. So we know the canteen cameras and definitely on.

Lol. What has vending machines got to do with Total Defense Day (or whatever that is)?

We have 2 cameras, one in the main entrance, and one in the common room.

I swear our janitors are ex-convicts! One of them was giving out punishments for no reason, and janitors have no right to do that. Another was allways in the boys bathroom doing who knows what, and another yelled at me for putting my hand on the wall! LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE! ITS YOUR JOB!

we've only got one janitor at our school and he's pretty cool

my school has like at least 20 janitors...very diffiuclt to keep track of them all, so the studnets and janitors never talk lol....we get on with our job of studying they get on with theres lol. we have so mnay because our school is pretty big and we need to keep the image up xD since our school has quite a reputation in Melbourne lol...>< damn selective school lol. anyways yer, janitors are mean or anything...we just never talk.

My school's janitors are somewhat like yours, though we might say a friendly hello to them once in a while. Oh, and they always wear a green T-shirt, so we always refer to them as the green men.

My janitors are cool! They play basketball with us once in a while and always win. In elementary the Janitor had a lot of guns in his closet. He was cool too... except I think he went all Byron Uesugi on us.

I love my schools janitors, they are soo cool. They are all really nice and they help me when I get lost.

Nice to meet you white rider, yay new members.

20 janitors, my word

I hate popular people. THink that they own everybody, with no self-esteem for themselves. They all look the same, with their idiotic looking haircuts. Always bushy.

The girls acting like sluts, people misbehaving. If it wasn't for band, I probably would absoluly HATE school period. Only some classes are in interest. Well, obviously, Band, Buisness, History.. And yea..

dude not all popular people are like that and u hav no right to b saying bad stuf about girls

He's talking about his school.

Oh, and to go along with the evil janitor thing, one of my friends spit in the spit sink, and the janitor was like "YOU BETTER NOT BE SPITT'EN!" And were like.."Yes..." and he flips out.

Its a spit sink, you spit in it. If you really want mr. janitor, drink out of it yourself.

Central won the football game today ;.; 27 - 14

I honestly like school because that's when I could get out of the house to do things other than video games and music.

Most of the teachers don't really like me, but I will change this year.

You say that every year :3
I liked school for the short hours mainly, though there are other good points and many memories.

I'm kinda glad that school is starting; my brain does nothing all summer anyway (that's seriously excluding music though Lol). Actually, I have registration today, so I'm planning to get in and out as fast as possible so I don't need to be by people I can't stand. :heh:

Looking forward to completing Sophmore year. (Already) :lol:

High school orientation is today!!!! It will be fun! :D

Starting Sophomore year this year. :lol: Registration will take 4 hours for me (and ^). xp 2 hours of it being a lecture. But, I'm looking forward to it. ^_^ Fresh start... I did everything I needed to do... get that event out to the "public", etc... :)

It's 2:21 right now and registration ends at 3:00. I should leave. :heh: It doesn't really take that long here; why does it take hours in Min?

Well, the first hour was a motivational speech. Then, we got our pictures taken for the yearbook. Next, we received our schedules. Finally, we found our lockers and our classes. I really only takes two hours, but the time slot is four just so one can explore the school and get a 'feel' for it before the first day. This school is much bigger than the school clarinetist and I attended last year.

Really? It seemed like if you excluded the "walking around" part, it would be 3 hours, because of the long lines of people getting their pictures taken and the schedules. :think:


This school is much bigger than the school clarinetist and I attended last year.

No kidding. x_x I thought the Junior High was big at first. :heh: Apparently, lots of my classes are at opposite ends. -_-

School...I think I'm a senior now...I never really payed any attention to it XD
With 2 more years of high school left, I'm gonna make the best of it...and might get into a lot of trouble in the process XD

Entering 8th grade now, I have to get a 4.0 or else.

School is for learning.

Entering 8th grade now, I have to get a 4.0 or else.

Your in middle school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in high school, their middle school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise)

Your in middle school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in high school, their middle school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise)

HECK YEAH!

Your in middle school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in high school, their middle school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise)

Your in high school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in college, their high school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise).


Fixed?

:lol:

I move into college tomorrow. It's fight or fight time. Sink or float. well, hopefully everything goes well.

Your in high school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in college, their high school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise).


Fixed?

Basically, when the only hard class that I'm taking is AP English. Well, and AP Spanish online.

W00t for senior year.

Your in high school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in college, their high school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise).


Fixed?

Except high school isn't easy O.o In middle school, you could get 60's in every single class and make it into highschool. While, if you make 60's in every single class in high school, chances are you aint maken it to college.

Further more, from what I've seen (which isn't alot), I'd rather be in college than high school. While in middle school, I didn't really want to go to high school.

Your in high school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in college, their high school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise).

I'm taking two AP courses (Calculus and English), plus I'm taking Physics, Government, plus band is going to be a whole lotta work this year (compared with other years). This year is gonna be hard as all get out, even though I took AP Chemistry last year.

AP courses =\= college courses.

Trust me, they're different from one another. The content may be similar or the same, but the environment is far different. Far different. There's a reason lecturers in high school are called Teacher, and college lectures are called Professors. Teachers teach. They work with you, they answer questions that arise at the moment, or shortly afterward, and they follow up on your work. Professors profess. They're more exacting; in such ways that they are god in the subject, and you are a follower. If you do not do as they say, then you will be smitened.

The quality/quantity of homework is also different. Sure, AP courses seem to be college like in feeling, but they are just "advanced placement" curriculum. The topics discussed are still limited to a particular scope, and it is that threshold that college is just above. You'll understand what I mean with this after you've enrolled college Calculus, or take a calculus based physics course.


Also, I'll accept that (all of) High School is difficult, if and only if you have greater than 40 hours worth of homework a week.

Note: That's the common gauge for credit hours per homework hours.
18 contact hours (about five enrolled classes) * 2.2 hours each =~ 40 hours

Well, this year I'll be quite the busy bee.

-Piano (4 hours min/day)
-School Homework
-Music Theory & Composition
-New Job

Basically, these four things would take up all my time, expecially Piano and my Music Theory/Composition. Since I take pretty average classes for High School, all I need to (and I will be) worry about is Piano; with the rate/teacher that I'll be working at/with, I'll be able to get into any college of my choice (full scholarship).

So I'll looking forward to busting my ass to get into a great music college. x_x

^ Wow, no more room for the ichigo's forum I see.


Your in high school dude, its easy as hell to get straight A's. Ask anyone in college, their high school years were so much more easier (difficulty wise).


Fixed?

Yes M.

^ Wow, no more room for the ichigo's forum I see.

I can always make room for Ichigo's, expecially if I'm on the "secret side-quest" of becoming a Music Mod. XD

But really, my schedule will be quite filled up.

Understood.

Meh, I've taken a college course, and it wasn't *bad*. But then again, it was a local community college so I guess it's not entirely the same, but it was Physics. =\

And I agree with the points Asuka made about middle-High school, and High-College. At least in college you have some direction like a major that you chose and can work towards, whilst in high school you have to fulfill requirements in every category and maybe only a *semester*'s worth of something you actually want to take. =\

Speaking of worthless classes, I'm in five AP classes, plus one weighted, Advanced Debate and Orchestra, eleven fully-participated clubs, Chinese school, practising the piano, violin (which is different from Orchestra), extra volunteer, and mini-jobs.

I wish. -_- Apparently, the Drivers' Ed class I took just on June requires a 4 hour "Behind-The-Wheel" class (split 2-2) on September.

Wah~ I never listed off my schedule, and just started wailing on people!

System Administration and Helpdesk
of Mediated Classrooms (intern)....20-50-?? Hours

Meaning I'm doing schoolwork anywhere from 66 to 99 hours a week. Take 30 minutes for unforeseen extenuating circumstances, and then one hour worth of smalltalk with colleagues. Given I get 8 hours of sleep a day, it leaves me 30 minutes worth of pure freetime on the low side, and a missing 30 minutes worth of free time on my high side. Of course this is all theoretical at this point, but in my past two years of college the 2*credit homework rule has been pretty true with the sole exception of my physics course last year, which was 4 credits but took 10 hours a week.

Isn't scheduling fun? And all this starts on this coming Wednesday EDT, though my internship continues through this summer semester's break.

Does anybody know how many credits come from doing AP Literature and Composition? Because Im taking it right now and Id like to know. Is it like one credit or something if I get a 4 or 5 on the final exam?

Welp, on the topic of schedules. . .

Say what?

School starts on Tuesday....

School starts on Tuesday....

I know. The summer went by so fast. @_@

I'm actually looking forward to starting school for the sole purpose that it slows down time, no matter how physcologic I get of how to speed it up. XD It'l give me time to focus on things, but I'm still putting piano and music almost before school; I mean, school isn't too hard for me. Getting straight As without trying. . any trouble with you guys?

Uhh yeah sorta, it was easier getting As last year than it is this year. Chemistry is no picnic(Considering all she does is lecture), neither is Algebra 2(Just because I hate algebra, but I liked Geometry). AP Lit is a little hard, but you can expect that from an AP class. The rest is pretty easy, its just all a matter of how studying I should do. Because I studied forever and a day for that Chemistry test and the teacher just came in and said and I quote "Y'all didn't do worth a flip." But I did okay on it in my opinion which was a 87 and my sister said those were the grades she got and she was a straight A student herself. So I hope I can study more next time.

During school... Why do older people pick on the underclass?

Because its the way of school. The circle of life. But yeah Im appaled at this though, the upperclassman should be an example of how someone should be for the lowerclassman not a bad influence. Maybe if they were to nicer to lower than when the lower get to upper they might return the kindness they received from the previous upper. But sometimes lowerclassman can be annoying but I don't give them a thrashing doing or being so I just sorta ignore them. And as you go up grades you'll get more respect instead of being looked down upon which is a good thing, but this shouldn't give an upperclassman leverage to put down a person from a lower grade. I try to be nicer to lower when I can, when Im not really in a rush. Actually Im a little short with everyone when I be in a hurry.

Say what?

Er... that is...
Selling various types of food-like... food.
>.>...


During school... Why do older people pick on the underclass?

Our school has too much school spirit and thus too friendly to do that.

We just have your normal class competitions, but generally, bullying is in any form very carefully watched.

Like a prison.

Its not that the people in my school bully anyone; its just that they don't act maturely.

And so my first day of school has ended..... I keep being ignored, can anybody help me?

Try to look and act friendly, speak up more, and strike up conversations with people ?

Look for common things in people you see. Like if someone is wearing a band tee-shirt that you know, say somethin to em like "Hey you listen to ____? Me too", stuff like that. If people ask you questions, don't just answer and do something else, try to draw out conversations.

Try to get friends in every class, it'll make your day go by so much more easier :) Once you get some friends, try to get to know their friends :)

I say friends are just a hindrance to your learning. If you want to excel in school and get good grades than stay away from people. Although that might be hard considering you around people for most of the day. But friends might give you the incentive you need to get good grades. I don't know really. But if your looking for friends though then just try to find a common intrest among one or more people and then once that happens they may become your friend. And as Asuka said you might get more friends for being their friend, you never know. But really though its best just to find you one good friend and stick with them when you go to a new school.

Meh.

I say don't try too hard. I've never tried to make a "friend" before. Have them come to you.

Maybe that's just my school, but that's how I got along.

Your a pretty girl so it's not a problem for you. The girls always want to group up, they guys always want to get in close with a few girls.
When your over wieght, spotty and no real fan base of music it becomes a challenge to make friends you can trust.

So far it's going well. Just yesterday, my health teacher demonstrated how she can clap with one hand to the class. :lol:

Same here. But, I forgot my math syllabus. >.<

@Zekushion: Befriend the new kid. It's like preying on the weak. Kekeke.

Sure, that wasn't the best way to put it, but you get my drift, eh?

On another tangent...
7 AM band tomorrow. Dude, I am so psyched. Bring it on, bitches!

Well not necessarily.

I mean usually if there's a new kid, teachers/administrators make sure no one's ever alone at lunch tables and stuff. If there's a new kid, their first days of school are always being chaperoned by someone who volunteered to take them around the school or are in Student Government.

So I think the new kids in school are relatively befriended quickly. =\

@ Hantony- Well the guys in my school only care about one thing, sports. And the girls could care less about the guys. They've been doing this ever since K-5. Which was many years ago, and now were in what the 11th grade and they haven't changed a bit. I don't care for sports that much unless its football, I do like football.

But anyways its getting harder to stay in the honor soceity, considering you have to have like 92 or above average. Im not sure if I will make it this year though.

I still say that the school model needs to be changed from the ground up. It's been physically proven that if someone walks away from the standard classroom setup --- Chalkboard, then Teacher in front, students behind the teacher in uniform rows --- that the material is better understood. Many breaktrhoughs have came about since Aristotle created "the classroom"; did anyone think to apply and revise this?

Only a small percentile of teachers, and they go greatly out of their way to make these changes. The school itself needs to help, and I don't see it happening.

Hm... I don't know what you meant about standard in these days, but our English teachers have markerboards, are generally very easygoing and laidback (but not lazy in teaching), but they have their rows in half-circles, and their students get the highest average scores on most prominent English tests compared to Math department's uniform rows, et cetera.

I think in the end, it's still about the teacher. O.o

Look for common things in people you see. Like if someone is wearing a band tee-shirt that you know, say somethin to em like "Hey you listen to ____? Me too", stuff like that. If people ask you questions, don't just answer and do something else, try to draw out conversations.

Good advice, but pick you questions carefully, that one begs the answer "No, I just wear their shirt for kicks, no duh I listen to them you moron."

I was always teh new kid, I hated the whole "this is your handler for a couple days" thing, It was nice, but sometimes you felt a hindrance XD

I agree with both M and DZV, the whole rows things needs to be rethought, heck everything does, to allow...interaction amongst students, hell the class I less talk in is the class where Im given more freedoms.
(ex. I can leave the room as I please for a reasonable ammount of time, I can talk aslong as I dont bother anyone and the teacher isnt speaking directly to me...just logical human behaviour) but..if you drop me in a class where im not allowed to do anything...I end up paying less atention and stuff like that.

I was allowed to talk in class like luis but only in some classes. The teahers that didn't grant permition for talking would try to make us too musy to talk or just waste the lessons by shouting at us all as a class. The ones that failed to do this ended up with nicknames such as "trout" and "egore."
If you want good grades then avoid proving to the teachers that they have no real power.

ratemyprofessor ftw XD, but i guess i was just lucky that i got decent teachers that know how to teach and do something other than tell us to read the book and give us tests and i can actually find when i need to...unlike many teachers i've seen who somehow disappear once class is over like they have a invisibility cloak or threw a zillion smoke bombs

now if i can just get past my digital logic design teacher's heavy chinese accent...

Woooh, i have an 86 is geometry! I thought I was on C border line. Phew

Woot, just got back from senior trip. Amazing time. All of you should go on your senior trips (if your school doesn't offer one, ignore this post). Went caving and whitewater rafting. Ooh, and I also got into a really dumb sword fight (with sticks) with another guy. I won.

What was my senior trip? A bus for all seniors taking a college placement exam. :mellow:

I insist that you Americans enlighten me on this mystical method of how you run your education system. This constant talk of Honour/AP classes, Algebra I, Biology II, senior trips and such makes me feel like a fob.
[/ignorance]

i started in a new school.

and I haven't made any friends yet : [[[

I insist that you Americans enlighten me on this mystical method of how you run your education system. This constant talk of Honour/AP classes, Algebra I, Biology II, senior trips and such makes me feel like a fob.
[/ignorance]

Honor & AP (Advanced Placement) courses are classes that are usually in a higher bracket. Basically, they cover more material, more indepth. Some of these classes can be applied to your enrolled college; called College Credit.

Algebra I is Algebra I. If those across the seas call it differently, I'll be quite suprised. You know it's [( a+b=x | x-a=b | x-b=a )].

Now for the general disclosure:

The US education system starts with a student as early as the age of 5 (or when potty trained) with "early fives" or in Kindergarden. It depends on the intelegence of the pupil to decide which of these they are placed. Kindergarden and Early Fives usually lasts about four to five hours a day, and sometimes held in two sessions; AM and PM. Basic phonics, coloring, and other developmental things are done in this level.

Afterwhich comes grade school, numbered 1-8. This series is divided two to three times. One through four is Elementary School. Five and six are Intermediate School. Seven and Eight are Middle School. Elementary courses are usually preselected by the school themselves on the basic four subjects, add art and music. Intermediate is more of the same, only it becomes more technical based and geared more towards analitical thinking. There are Field Trips that sometimes occur, and students leave the classroom to learn more about what exists outside their four point spread.

Middle school is the start of the elective system. That is, you have your basic four topics, and two courses which you "elect" to take. This ranges from Music to Electronics to Creative Writing. It is usually around here that afterschool clubs really start to kick in, though none are usually required of the student.

Then, after Grade School comes Secondary School, graded 9-12; also called High School. Each grade level has a titled reference, namely, and in order: Freshman, Sophmore, Junior, Senior.

In Secondary School, there is much more freedom than in your previous courses. Your classes taken are all electives, with exception that you have to meet a type of quoue for you to graduate. Most Secondary Schools builds the classes around classes entitled "Freshman/Sophmore College English" which are geared to college-bound students in subject, then Creative or Technical Writing, and finally a type of research English course. "Pre-Algebra" or fractional mathmatics, Algebra or varible mathmatics, Algebra II or varible mathmatics two, Geometry or study of earthen shapes, and other forms of math. Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Geography, American History, American Government, and Law.

Each class is given a number of credits, and any particular student is allowed only so much in a day. The core classes listed above usually fulfill all but two daily class meetings (or periods). In which the wide array of electives are given.

There is also a hierarchy system given to the courses. Not unlike college, if you would like to take Creative Writing, you would need to have completed Sophmore College English to take. Also, there are courses which you can enroll in that can give you college credit (AP). Some courses just give you more credits than normally alloted in a standard period, thus allowing a superior GPA (see below) than what is normally permitted (above 4.0s).


Grading is given on a four point system known as a GPA system. Which looks similar to as follows:
4.0 = 100-90 = A
3.77 = 89-86 = B+
3.5 = 85-83 = B
3.3 = 82-80 = B-
2.77 = 79-78 = C+
2.5 = 77-75 = C
2.3 = 75-73 = C-
1.77 = 72-67 = D+
1.5 = 67-63 = D
1.3 = 62 = D-
0.0 = <62 = E

And I will agree with anyone on this: The grading system is fucking screwy.

There's also a conduct review usually given on a five point scale; numerical.



And that's a very, very brief, and incomplete summary of the US school system.

Well we had to type a paper for AP lit just recently and its due monday. I finished it. Now to get it proofread for the second time. Man after the first proofread my paper was a bloody murder(Means it had tons of red pen marks) with grammatical errors such as unclear antecedants, ackward sentances, poor word choice, punctuation, and some other stuff I can't remember. Man the english language sucks. Just kidding, but seriously though once you think about it English is one of the hardest languages to learn. I just feel so dumb after taking english grammar classes for more than ten years, you'd think this stuff would sink in, nope.

@ M- Huh, our school uses the numerical average as 100-93 as an A and so on so forth(Which is the 7 point numerical average system). Or are you talking about college that uses the 10 points system for numerical averages. I don't know.

Honor & AP (Advanced Placement) courses are classes that are usually in a higher bracket. Basically, they cover more material, more indepth. Some of these classes can be applied to your enrolled college; called College Credit.



Hm, "Honors" for us is just a weighted class, but only AP is allowed for college credit (also weighted).

Thank you kindly, M. :)

Luckily here, anything above 80 is an A. =D Or atleast in BC, Alberta, Québec, Ontario and NFLD. There are, apparently, Advanced Placement classes in Canada as well, but not in my region. I have not heard tell of Honour classes, but we do have "enhanced" courses which may amount to the same thing.

I hear a 40 is a pass in UK and an 80 = A...thats fooking ghey IMHO, is there like an A+ or something? I mean how do you tell the diference between the guy with a 95 and the guy with an 80?

Edit: Anyone confirm UK info?

40% is an E grade pass at A levels, can't remember the GCSE ones.

And that's a very, very brief, and incomplete summary of the US school system.

That is a basic setup. It varies though from state to state and from school to school. For example, my grading scale was...
93-100 A
83-92 B
76-82 C
70-75 D
10-69 Failure
0-9 Incomplete

and levels of education...
K-5 Elementary
6-8 Middle School
9-12 High School

Also, every state is required to give a standardized test and integrate it into the finale GPA of the student. You can't fail it, but it can drag your grade down pretty low if you do poorly enough. In Pennsylvania, or test was the PSSA (Pennsylvania State Scholastic Aptitude Test)

You were grade on Reading Comprehension, Writing ability, and Mathematics and you could score on the 5 point scale...

5 - Proficient
4 - Above Average
3 - Average
2 - Below Average
1 - Unsatisfactory
0 - Ungradeable Material

wait 80% is an A...
i have a sudden urge to move somewhere else to boost my GPA <___< :3

You can live with me in my student accomodation ;3

lawl for a second i actually considered that in my head and thought about it ....
WTF?

I'm on a ten point grading scale,
90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
00-59 F

I hear a 40 is a pass in UK and an 80 = A...thats fooking ghey IMHO, is there like an A+ or something? I mean how do you tell the diference between the guy with a 95 and the guy with an 80?

Edit: Anyone confirm UK info?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grades_in_the_United_Kingdom

By that standard, I've been ranked as the top grade since I started secondary school to current, in any of the schemes.
I'm moving to the UK :mellow:

lawl M took my idea as well :X

If that is the system in the UK, I'd move there, too. O.o

I'm also on a ten grading scale:

90-100 = A
80-89.99 = B
70-79.99 = C
60-69.99 = D
-50-59.99 = Fail.

@ DZV- This may sound stupid, but what is a -50. Either you meant grades below fifty or you mean negative fifty.


My grade scale is:
93-100 A
83-92 B
76-82 C
70-75 D
00-69 Failure

My apologies. Below fifty.

if someone got a -50 for a grade....that's just kinda sad IMHO

You'd just get kicked out.

You wouldn't have the chance to get -50.

Here, anyway.

So what we are all saying is that a 0 is better than a -50.(A fictional grade that doesn't exist in this country.) And then 50 being great, and then 100 being unreal.XD
