Well my first week of school has ended, I want to ask who has school, and what grade?
This is my first year of middle school.:gawe:
-
Thread seems pointless, but I just finished my second week of my sophomore year.
-
I was trying to find trivia info, which is like me.....lol.
-
Ninth grade. Just finished my second week.
-
Just finished the 3rd week of my sophmore year.
-
I just graduated high school last May... :P
-
I'm a high school senior. It's been 4 months already, but it feels longer due to the homework overload (most teachers don't give a damn about the other subjects >:E)
-
school starts in 4 days for me. im going to be a sophmore in high school.
-
Starts in 9 days for me.
Restarting another universitary career in Biology.
-
can I ask what sophmore is ? (oz doesn't have anything by that name? :P)
4 more weeks and I say goodbye to high school, from then it becomes a situation of going to different types of institutes depending on the career you want, so I will probably spend a good 2-3 years study so I can get a higher job in the field I want to work in :-D
-
Ugh i have to go back in 5 days. And its like a boarding school and i won't be back till my birthday (September 24'th) So i have at least one week of pure heck (I hate earning privileges, I like having them right off the bat) so expect me to be off in Philly somewhere having a miserable time then.
-
Just looked up a conversion type thing from UK to US, and I have just had my first week of 'Sophomore' year.
-
^^^ I just looked that up too
US senior - year 12 Australia (im at this stage)
US Junior - year 11 Australia
Sophomore - year 10 Australia
Freshman - year 9.Australia
yes over here we just use numbers XD
-
I went into school on friday, so that i can see my new class and get my timetable for lessons, and guess what i didnt see or get? :P
-
According to JB's conversions, I'm a US Junior.
-
Started my freshmen year at UCLA.
-
Started August 26th. I'm a Sophomore.
-
I'm not going back until the ninth.
I have to start my Sophomore year. Its also a pain that I have to retake some classes.
-
I'm going back on the 8th.
-
I am a college dropout. Might go back someday...
-
Finished My first week of College:smiley:. I'm a sophmore this year.
-
I'm in year 11. Work that one out, bitches.
And I know that you can thanks to the thing JB posted, I just wanted to put 'bitches' in my post. Yeah...
White and silver text ftw.
-
Im in year 10. Yes I can do that too, cookie for anyone that reads this.
-
I am older than most of you.
-
I am older than most of you.
Thanks for the fun fact lol
-

That explains sooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

it totally sucks
-
Same. I'm kinda looking foreward to school.
-
Still on summer vacation!
-
lucky^^

I'm in college right now, and in the middle of a July-through-December work study. It's a full-time job at the AP department of my college, and they don't make you take classes while you're on work study. So basically, I don't have to take any more classes until 2010.

^^^^ thats sick I've never heard of work study like that:smiley:. What college do you go to?
-
This is supposed to be my senior year of college (had I not switched majors and taken time off). I think I may go back next semester (and I may switch majors yet again).
-
^^^^ thats sick I've never heard of work study like that:smiley:. What college do you go to?
Northeastern University

I'm currently in Year 12, or Lower Sixth Form, to be Precise. You wouldn't guess by my ranking though, would you? = P

Actually, most of the heavyweights are younger than you. And then there's the people who inflate their rank by posting inane, pointless messages all over the forum, who I am not going to mention because ACAMS said he'd unban the person if we kept talking about him.
-
just graduated high school!
-
Didn't pay attention to english...?
-
Today is the end of the 1st quarter of my 8th grade year. I have an F...awesome!!!
-
I have nearly straight F's ;D
And I'm retaking two classes.
Underachieving FTW.
-
thats cool but it sucks

If he was retarded, he wouldn't even be on this forum, or have a kajillion posts.

What makes you say that?
-

Nope, I am simply a lazy, fat, underachiever.
-
What makes you say that?
Because most retarded people i know(like my brother)fling their arms around like wings 24/7.

^you actually made me laugh a it
Hydro: get off your @$$ and do something besides being a lazy, future hobbo

Well, there are still some demands for long hours, low pay manual labors, which doesn't require passing classes.
Of course, that's not to say that graduating HS (or even college) really makes that much a difference with the increase rate of academic inflation. However, the habit of working hard is something anyone would have to deal with regardless of how he/she intend to make a living. Even a bum have to spend hours digging garbage cans for food and recyclables in exchange for a few bucks.

Ah, OK. Thanks, Sonny. I wouldn't want to post meaningless crap on the forums with the sole purpose of inflating my ranking, anyway- Those who do do that must have a lot of time on their hands.

Does anybody go to a school with uniforms?
-
No.
-
Does anybody go to a school with uniforms?
Me.I am Yr4 of junior school.
-
Dang. You Brits get the short end of the stick all the time.
-
they do
-
Does anybody go to a school with uniforms?
Well, my current Sixth Form is part of a secondary school which has uniforms (Which I used to go to), and my Sixth Form has a dress code of smart business wear, so technically, yes.
-
Dang. You Brits get the short end of the stick all the time.
Hey! That's not always the case.
-
I do, too. I'm a high school senior student studying at possibly one of the best schools in my country. And a great school means a strict uniform code, which is why I can't wait to go to college. XD
-
And a great school means a strict uniform codeD
That uniform system is really sh**.
-

Yep, I do.
-

Ah, sure the uniform systems are annoying, but I do find they serve a purpose. I find they prevent "Fashion Contests" between students, which in turn, also results in a cut in bullying. And although school uniforms do mostly look like embarrassing rags, they also work well for trips out of school, allowing for easy identification in case somebody gets lost, or runs off. All in all, they're not perfect, but uniforms do have their purpose, I feel.

They didn't have uniforms when I was in grade school, but if they did, I can see my classmates continuously coming in with street clothes on, making the excuse "my uniform was dirty/ripped etc" How does your school deal with that?
-
The uniform system is dumb. If the kids at your school participate in such "fashion contests" then they are ****ing retards and you should change your school. Running of school trips? Come on, is it ****ing second grade or what?
Instead of fixing the effect (by introducing unforms) they should fix the origin of the problem (kids being complete idiots) by making them into responsible adults.
But no, nanny state is so much better.
-
exactly

Well, my school is a Private Secondary School, so the policies on uniforms are strict, to say the least. I mean, they could punish you for wearing your tie too short or wearing non-regulation jewellry. And that's only a taster! I can see why they want the uniforms perfect though. I mean, uniform isn't cheap at my school!

Ouch. No offence, but that was pretty harsh.

*offense
**** yeah, I'm in a bad mood today. 104 fahrenheit degrees fever this morning.
On a related note, the fahrenheit scale is dumb.
-
LOL... As a Celsius user, 104 °C is above water's boiling point !
Anyways that uniform system is spitting on personal freedom.
-
You guys are all acting like education is a burden. Believe me, one day you will regret not paying more attention at school and not willing to learn more.
-
hah, Our school has a uniform code, but since they couldn't combat half the school being defient, they changed it to Black and White Shirts, T-shirts, Cardigans... Black skirts, Jeans, whatever and Black shoes. anyone can wear a tie, but it must be purple, for the schools colour.
-
i am about a month into 7th grade.
-
I have nearly straight F's ;D
And I'm retaking two classes.
In Soviet America...
-
You guys, learning stuff is essential to life. I hate to see people with the mind-set that expanding your mental awareness is somehow a 'burden', or 'useless'. Serge was mentioning to me (IM) how we all tend to have that maligned mind-set when we're in the lower levels of schooling.... and it's true we do. But learning more about reality is probably the most important thing one can do as an individual. Even if it's outside of school, like reading (non-fiction) books, is helpful. And not just about one little category/subject, but about all categories of learning, so as to have a more complete picture of things. In expanding beyond one little area, we can learn 'how' to think and reason by seeing the connections between different areas of knowledge, instead of being told 'what' to think in a little shell (for an occupation only).
I can only appeal to you guys that to stay ignorant, or in one little category of what there is to learn, or to stop learning new things ever, is a terrible mistake. As the saying goes "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
-
Very true.
Knowledge is power guys.
-
Ahh, but ignorance is bliss.
-
Ehehe.
-
Ahh, but ignorance is bliss.
Tell that to those who were loaded onto the 'relocation' trains,...............to Auschwitz.
Ignorance may 'feel' good, but it makes nothing actually good. Drunk drivers don't make things better, but worse.
And also, ignorance allows 'predators' to thrive through propagandizing the ignorant. It's happening today, to due the wide acceptance of this quoted misnomer....
-
Tell that to those who were loaded onto the 'relocation' trains,...............to Auschwitz.
That is an awful and tasteless comparison you made. They were forced by nazis to get on those trains, and were told by them it was relocation, just so that they wouldn't flip out like if they were told they were being concentrationcamp'd.
Oh, and EPIC 404 post count.
-
The 'dynamics' are exactly the same and accurate. The 'magnitude' of exploitation is the only variable,..... which is dictated by the opportunity or situation.
I see it all of the time in my work, at the individual and social levels....
And '404' of contributory RA2 posts.....

I found that the further that I got into high school the better it became. There isn't a much more satisfying feeling than understanding university calculus in 12th grade (senior year for all you yanks).
As for uniforms, I don't mind them. Unless your government is pointing a gun at your head, nobody is "forcing" you to attend a school where they are mandatory, so I think the "supressing personal freedom" argument is a bunch of crap.
-
O RLY?

I agree. I also found it became more rewarding for me the more I progressed.

Actually, the subjects and lessons are awesome. Our only problem is with the teachers. Most of the important subjects were taught by lazy-ass jerks who always give out homeworks and quizzes but no discussions at all. How in the world can we learn from them? I wanted to take Computer/Mechanical Engineering for college, but our physics teacher can't even explain Ohm's Law properly. Even our math teacher can make us understand most of the physics concepts in one sitting. Our research teacher forced our research group to join the Intel ISEF competition, but couldn't even give us some simple researching tips!
I'm still wondering why most of the countrymen consider this as one of the best schools in the Philippines.
