Hehe yeah, I knew a spelled a few things wrong.

The problem is that in real life there is no such thing as a 'test' or 'final'. School ought to prepare you for life. For life, personal skills (not test-taking skills) are more important. For life, if you need help, you are _expected_ to ask for it, asking and receiving help is not considered 'cheating'. In life, there is no such thing as 'closed book', 'closed notes', 'no calculators and/or other devices', or other rules like which some teachers will impose w/o reason. In life, you copy what a friend or fellow employee has already done when it makes sense to do so. If I were a teacher your grade would be based on your homework and labs, or on an optional final (whichever is better).

I allready knew that. I thinks its stupid how they tell us that. They are all like, You guys learned this in grade 7. Well Grade 7 is blur to me, and I dont want to remember grade 7. And then they say you learned this in grade 3, Grade 3 is a blank, and from what I remember I spent alot of class time out in the hall. I realy hope that school burns down, and then I can go take a piss on whats left of the school after it has burned down, not like i'm the only one who wants to do this.

Qlash · 2004-12-15, 04:46

I think school is ok, everyone should have the right to a decent education, it only benefits themself. Though I've never really had it tough in school, except maybe when you was like a kid and some picked on you, but only made you stronger lol, and for homework and exams, never really studied much ^^ Where I live you get paid to go in school so thats cool, trying my best to pass exams at university so I can pay rent etc ˆ-ˆ Some are cool, some you gotta read for and thats a pain, but it'll be worth it in the end

I wanna get money lol, to buy lotsa anime

So need a good job

And to hope that the school burns down is just... <_< .. >_>

Bullsquat · 2004-12-15, 14:25

I think at this point most students can't really lament too much on the big picture that is 'school'. We should all just try to survive this week. For me, it's just one more day. One more day and two more exams. This is the toughest semester yet!

RedEyes · 2004-12-15, 16:00

Well if you're in high school(not last year)

Then you should just forget your exams and have fun. Once you get up there, it's a nightmare. Enjoy it while you can I suggest.

--------------------Breaking News!--------------------

The "real world" is just an idea used to scare kids into applying themselves in school!

Now before I start I have two things to say, first I'm in 11th grade and I'm a high honor roll student. Second, I just suffered a minor concussion about 45 minutes ago, so uh... yea well that speaks for itself.

Now, I really hate it when people talk about the "real" world, because we all know the real world is a show and it's anything but real. It's more than possible to BS your way through school and still be a "success" (in the capitalist view of the term anyways). Most professions are pretty specialized, and knowledge is only needed in one or two fields while you can get by with an almost remedial understanding of the others. (ie a writter doesn't need much math, and a networking specialist doesn't need to know geography). What I'm saying is that once you've mastered basic math, writing, and reading skills, you're taught things that aren't necessary for you to make a lot of money until you enter college and pick a major and whatnot. Granted you can't just learn nothing between 4th and 12th grade, but as long as some of the more basic concepts are understood by you, that's all you actually need.

Personally I enjoy school for the most part, I'm not exactly hungry for knowledge but it's a good atmosphere and it gives me some semblance of a purpose in life. I had some more to say but my head is starting to throb again so I'll end it here, have a good one all.

One last exam in circa seven hours and I'm done with this wretched semester.

Living off of Jolt Cola isn't particularly healthy.

This happens every year.

it's not that difficult to play & work.
it's just a question of planning.

ramune · 2004-12-16, 14:12

I finished all my finals yesterday! Fortunately I did quite well on my physics exam.

But only God knows if I've passed my calculus 3 exam...

I have just realised that finals are BAD. And so is school.
I've go 3 hours to finish month's worth of english and math homework, study for 2 of the tests tomorrow and AAAAAAAAAAAH. /spins around/ I hate highschool already.
/goes to sleep/

Kyle kun · 2004-12-17, 18:29

How are you taking finals right now, didn't you say you were in highschool? In highschool you don't take finals until the end of 2 semesters, that's been my experience anyways, and you take midterms halfway through the year (about 1-2 months from now)
