I personally liked school, except math. I taught Biology for 2 weeks and still love science.

Well a genuis would usually like school, but i could be wrong. That could be a bad SteroType, but i dont think it is.

I hated school, but I love learning. This is one reason I quit public school, and started home schooling. Public School slowed me down. I had to wait for the rest of the class to finish before taking a bathroom break etc.

If I had not gone to college, I would be much more happy.

What I don't like is not learning new things, and the vast majority of time I spend at school is not learning new things. I suppose I could better say that I don't like school when I'm not learning something. I also don't like certain subjects at school. But I don't hate school at all. Yes, that might sound incredibly nerdy, but believe me, my grades don't reflect what I learn. I'm learning more in math than I ever have, but since I simply have an ineptitude for math I'm only getting, at last check, 68%. | |

I'm learning more in math than I ever have, but since I simply have an ineptitude for math I'm only getting, at last check, 68%. I know. I was one of the smartest kids in my class but I kept getting low B's and C's simply because I had an ineptitude for turning in homework. | |
Same with me. Luckly they looked past my grades and skipped me anyways. Then later on I got my grades up.
| |
Wow, there are others, The only reaon I don't fail for turning in homework is because I have awsome maks in everything.

Heh. I've always hated graded homework--it just doesn't make sense for me to make a B or a C in a class when I get high A's on all of the tests, just because I never felt like doing the homework. My general rule is to not do work that no knowledge is to be gained from. And, typically, that included homework.

I believe that school should be based more around intelligence, which it is not. If it were, then the idiots I know would be failing, not passing. And there wouldn't be so many of the special ed students with 4.0s (but thats another story!). I think school is based more around responsibility, which is good. However, I think that it should be possible to pass a class by doing well on tests if no homework is done. Typically, if the homework is not done, the test grades will not be good anyway. Also, the test grades are what really show if the student has learned anything (or how good the student is at looking at his neighbors test). Anyway, I think of school was more knowledge oriented, we would have more intelligent people. | |

Anyway, I think of school was more knowledge oriented, we would have more intelligent people. Well, what the government (at least this government) doesn't really want the kids to know is that school is essentially a government-operated baby-sitter service. It doesn't try to teach life lessons at all -- it tries to teach people how to be conformists, so they can just be sponges for the orders and information that their employers give them. That's my take, anyway. I hate conformism. Which is odd enough, considering I'm one of the major proponents for establishing some more moderation on these boards. What I like to think of my style as is "self-indulgent conformism". Basically, I do what I want except when it's necessary for me to follow the rules or establish some. ;-P | |
And there wouldn't be so many of the special ed students with 4.0s (but thats another story!). Bah! Don't get me started on GPA. At my high school, we had a weighted system, where taking a certain number of honors-level classes multiplied your GPA for that semester. The result was a 5.0 scale that was mostly worthless. At first I liked it because it automatically gave me a higher GPA than I actually earned because I was always taking the most difficult classes I could. But by the time graduation rolled around, my GPA only ranked me in the top 25% or so (even though it was over 4.0!) A lot of the people above me were those who took the exact minimum number of honors classes each year to get the highest multiplier, and filled the rest with simple "blow-off" classes. Whereas I took several honors classes over the number I needed for the high weight, and suffered in rank because of it (and because of the no homework thing earlier, heh). -AbyssDragon | |

If you get above 80% as an average of all of your courses, you're an honour roll student. Port Moody Secondary School has the stupid GPA weighting, though. (What I find especially stupid about it is that if someone gets an A (86-100), two Bs (73-85), and a C+ (67-72), they get honour roll while someone with four Bs doesn't.) | |

I hate waiting for class to catch up, and my teacher won't let me help them, SHE WONT LEMME ANSWER THAT *****. Now that ive got that out, i really couldnt agree more with the two of you. As long as a person has the ability to read a fifth grade book when they graduate the government could really care less. I really dont like school all that much either. I dont get grades much over a b+ at best. my best grade was in keybaording this year (A+). I should have taken math 3&4 this year, seeing as a took 1&2 last year in 8th grade. 1&2 is really way to easy the second time through, of course thats probably why my teacher wont let me answer questions. Its not fair, I know it she should let me answer. I have flaws though, not many(just kidding). Cant give speeches, and my english teacher is pushing me to join speech team next year, and whats worse my dad wants me to. Cant get a break there. <insert random dbz code here> obj Sensu_beans icon = 'sensu.dmi' verb get() set src in oview(1) src.Move(usr) use() if(usr.HP < usr.MHP) usr.HP = usr.MHP usr<<"You eat the Sensu Beans and regain all your health" del(src) else usr<<"You are already at max Health." give(mob/M in oview(10)) src.Move(M) usr<<"You have given Sensu Beans to [M]." M<<"[usr] has given you Sensu Beans." </end random dbz code> </end rant> | |
I often find myself teaching my CISCO Networking and BAT (Buissness Application Technology) classes because the teacher is old and doesn't know what shes talking about :/. CISCO is one of the organisations that I lump together in the category of "Egotistical Tripe", much like W3C. They seem to think that the Internet would come to a grinding halt without them. =P | |
