The other day I dropped a cup in the toilet and flushed it, somehow clogging it. So I repeatedly flushed it and flooded the bathroom.

I also tied down one of the sink handles and clogged the drain to the sink, and left the bathroom.

At my first school, I was often locked in the art room as punishment.
(Sorry, but almost all of my random truths about my education/schools are very depressing.)

I have been in anger management since i was in 6th grade, it has followed me to every school and every grade till i dropped out, in the 11th grade.

Surprisingly enough im not an angry person, i guess it was because i was the type to hold stuff in, untill i exploded at small things.

Also in school my peers thought i was ret*d, and my teachers thought i was exceptionally gifted... except my math teachers :)

So does Canada. But why did they make you do grade 1 work? They couldn't be bothered to give people any real education on an individual basis? It's much easier just to make a class of all the special ed kids... not so special after all, more like ret*d ed!


I had a hard time paying attention and concentrating in sailing camp; I was understimulated.

I was in an 8th grade class (this was so long ago that 'middle school' hadn't been invented yet, they called it 'junior high') which was 'Boy's chorus'. It was a 'crip' (easy) class, so every degenerate and lowlife signed up for it. If they had expelled us, it would have cleaned the principle's office out for the whole term..;) We went through 3 teachers that year, one had a nervous breakdown. We never learned a single song. On Fridays we had 'music time', where we could bring in albums and listen to them. The coolest guy in the class brought in 'After the Gold Rush' by Neal Young, so we heard it over, and over, and...;)

but then I graduated from college before they brought out the PC...I think I woulda liked school in your time..;)

Did they think you in particular were stupid? :)


I have done exams in the resource room at Flakeside. Other times I've done it in regular classroom where everyone else was doing that exam. I remember in grade 10, my math teacher took the five worst students in her class, myself included, into a different classroom and literally helped us with the exam. As a result I passed. It was surreal. For this very reason the teacher who teaches the class is not supposed to supervise the exam. :lol: But somehow she got away with it.
