themeparkman25 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My first year has been pretty awesome, absolutely nothing like high school so I am sure you will have a good time. This part of senior year though was way fun too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitchCoaster Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Junior year of High School Sucks. I struggle in one class, which makes me spend extra time trying to get back up, which brings my grade down in all my other classes, then I get those up and then I'm struggling with the original class again and it starts all over again. Spring Break can not come soon enough. I was going to type what irritated me about school, but you pretty much summed it up. That's the dilemma I'm stuck in at the moment. It sucks. Especially when most of your classes give you huge assignments at the same time. I wouldn't doubt it if my teachers coordinate to give their assignments our at the same time just to torture me. Hahahahaha. I hear you on that one XII. Spring Break needs to come faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astroworldfan1 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 In one day, my reading grade mysteriously went from a 94 A to a 100 A. I don't know what happened, or if the teacher meant to do this! -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee cannonball Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Two words. Two horrible, horrible words. Standardized testing. Oh and because I'm in seventh grade, two more horrible words.

texashorns82492 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^ I already had to take an English TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) a month ago, and I still have a math, science, and history one to go through. Trust me, it's probably just as bad as your standardized test. Any fellow Texans on the board can relate when I say TAKS can suck one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texashorns82492 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ^ I basically had thirty minutes to research and write a paper discussing who he was, if he published books (and what they were about), and 5 facts about Laissez-faire. So, Scottish philosopher born 1723, worked as Professor of Logic at Glasgow until being appointed chair of moral philosophy. Wrote "Theory of Moral Sentiments" discussing the standards of ethical conduct that hold society together. Also published "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of the Nations", discussing the effects of economic freedom. Laissez-faire is a policy of allowing events to take their own course, literally translated to "let do" from French. Just a tid bit of info. Better?

Alice Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, I'm in middle school. A question for all of you high schoolers: does it get better? I mean, I'm going to be in high school next year, and to be honest, that's the only thing keeping me from totally slacking off and/or shooting myself in the face. So does it get better?

themeparkman25 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Every "level" of school is better than the one beneath it. IMO, every grade level is better than the one right beneath it. ^But yes, there is that silly quote that I think applies here. "With great power comes great responsibility." So though you get more freedom and more opportunities, there is a lot more responsibility for your actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm hoping you're right. To put it lightly, Middle School was the worst time of my life, though it never got better. Each year was progressively worse than the one beneath it. I mean, this year it got so bad, teachers started calling my parents, and... yeah. But good. Work I can deal with.
