snowman21 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Well, I haven't made a thread in a while, and I'm bored. So I have made a thread just for you kiddies to complain about school! To start you guys off, I'll just share one of my complaints. Now, since I'm 14 in the 8th grade, I'm thinking i'm done making stupid posters and coloring inside the lines and cutting and pasting....but i'm wrong. The first day of school, I was assigned for English to make a what-cha-ma-call-it (its a french word). This means I have to search for magazines in my house (and I don't), cut out pictures and then paste them on a huge piece of paper. This is to show who I am and why I'm "special." And if there are any bits of paper showing, you don't get an A. I'm one of those straight A people...So I'm thinking to myself "why am I cutting and pasting pictures to demonstrate how special I am? I'm in all advanced classes for crying out loud! This is an insult to my intelligence!" So i'll post a coulple more stories when i think of them. But in the meantime...what are some of your school complaints/rants/stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 none really. Once you get into Highschool, school is what you make it to be. And i love it. Take some computer classes, some PS classes to spice up the day, thats why i love highschool. Its almost exactly like Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 well all i have to say is get all your coloring in now before you have to sit in a auditorium with at least 500 people, and listen to some old fart explain somthing that just wants to make you go....duh......what'chu say?(as you can guess i go to a community college in Las Vegas, and just for the heck ill tell you what I want to be, A fireman). Yeah i have to agree with KBell, high school was the ****, especially the dance team, can i can get a HELL YEAH? Anyways, junior high from what i can remember was as you seem to have said, a prison.

TheJackal Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 That original thing you were talking about is called a 'collage'. You might think its an insult to your "intelligence", but in my opinion creativity is a direct reflection of intelligence. And a collage is one of the best ways to play with your creative side. I just love art. I cant stop looking at the world in a different perspective. Like that water thing in everybody's driveways. you know... that round disk? Anyways. I go around take pictures of those. Try to find as many different ones as possible. Why? I have no freiggen clue. Its just something I do to relaxe i guess. And to return to the collage thing, I recently did one for a design project. I had to design the cover of a book and use a scratch board to make 4 drawings. (a scratchboard is a black cardboard you scratch with an exacto knife to make a negative black and white drawing. makes cool effects) anyways. I'm tired and rambling now....

Kain Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I had a teacher who was so uptight that you were a considered a bad student if you disagreed with him. Me, I'm an arguer. We had a stupid ass dress code dropped on us in the middle of the school year (after everybody already had a set wardrobe) that said 'NO BAND SHIRTS'(KoRn, Godsmack, Staind, ect) or anything considered 'gang parafanalia(sp?) (which included my Wiccan Pentagram cuz its a 5 point star[blood gang sign around here]). Nobody was gonna go out and get a new wardrobe that late in the year (that includes me). Well, needless to say, all of us (the band shirt wearers) started petitions and protests (wearing our shirts regardless of the consequences, and there were consequences, specially for me and Jose' cuz we wouldn't put our pentagrams away or fork them over). It really intensified when Me, John, Bill, and Jose' got sent to the Deans office and on the way seen somebody wearing a Tupac shirt talking to the ****in Principal who initiated the rule. I then got interogated about my religion by an upity Christian Dean (why is that Christians seem to be the only ones with questions). Well, after I argue the fact that if I have to give up my pentagram then Christians are going to have to give up their crosses, Jews are gonna hafta give up their Stars of David (MIND YOU ALL that a 6 point star is the Cript gang sign around here, but nobody seemed to mind that fact). After the suspended the entire fraction of the school (we made up about 1/10 of the total population, we being the protesters), they finally stopped enforcing it. Did I mention me and Jose' got banned from a teacher's class because we argued our case so well he couldn't defend the school anymore and we made him cry? Yea, its the same uptight teacher I mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Guidance counselors. Well, the ones at our school anyway. They screwed up my schedule when I was a freshman, and didn't catch the error untill this year(my senior year). I took a few classes I didn't need instead of ones I did, so now I have to go back for a 5th year. Thanks for nothing, you bunch of morons.

OOOOH! a collage! thats right. At least I turned it in and got an A on it . I like taking pictures too. I got myslef a digital camara. I take pictures of wild animals......airplanes.....clouds.....the sun.....the moon.....possible rainbows. Basically I like taking pictures of nature. And if i'm not mistaken about scratchboards, I used to make them in art class with crayons. very cool. Originally posted by Jedi Linkin Yeah, high school isn't all that bad. For me it's just most of my classmates that are the pain. My school's actually funny cause the teachers cuss. It's GREAT!! We tell our teachers if they cuss we will get them fired! Originally posted by Chase Windu I remember doing something like that in my 8th grade English class too. Other than that 8th grade english was my favorite class. Not only did the class do fun stuff and goof off but the teacher would goof off as well. About once a month the teacher would bring a movie and have the class watch it. I also had a study hall with the same teacher for the last quarter of the year. But Rhett was in that study hall the quarter before me. Rhett and that group messed up my quarters fun. Rhett would tell stories of them going to the coke and vending machines. But guess what, oh no, they abused that right. All my group got was a lousy piece of hard candy while the teache got to mess around on his computer with a T1 line. lol. your english class sounds exactly like mine! We goof off in the class, and my teacher does too, and I have study hall in english too! except thats an all year thing.

Mex Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 School. The enemy of children around the Earth. Urk. The only reason I hate school really is the classes that I am in since I was one of the smartest and "brightest" children in my old school, why am I in some of the tightest dumbass children classes? They are total idiots and I have no idea why I am in the classes that they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerd_Annhilator Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 All the teachers in my school except my teacher, they all treat you like frickin cretins.. To them, grade 8's (myself) are for some reason as intelligent as kindergartens.... I really wanna go to highschool now... P.S I still hate all the assignments we get, they just aren't challenging. P.SS (?) all the rest of my class mates are into everything except reading, learning, computer and english (yes I like english, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
