how was your school life

Post Reply New Topic

this is how i acted in preschool the teacher had to force me to talk, i went to speech class and things like that. i loved breakfast time or was it lunch time we would always eat cream cheese on graham crackers, and recess we go on the roof to play on the play ground. ( kinda odd that people always saying kids with special needs don't understand danger and bounties yet the roof play ground had no fence around in it was odd we us to look down form up their and no one notice)
bed time. i remember when i learn to tie my shoes on vacation when my teachers found out about it they made me do it in front of them they was so proud, and then elementary things was okay, but then once i got in 2 ND grade and some of my classes was regular aide then thats when everything went down hill. i always was quiet but then i became more quiet. and as the grades move on the more and more we had to do group project i hate group projects, i never seen the point of working together with people i didn't want to be around. and i hate when teachers go what you going to do when you get a job you can't just avoid people you don't like. and i hated when teacher wouldn't let me take my backpack with me to the restroom i was always scared if it was a fire well i was gone my stuff be ruin. i hate going on errands for the teacher with a buddy with me.
then and high school i hated that i wasnt aloud to treanten people i swear free speech but the moment you say the word gun or bomb that ends but what i like about school some teachers and a few students liked me and i was always consider smart.

I've enjoyed the diploma, because it was proof, that a drumhead like me could graduate. I hated school. I hated the kids, and my courses. I hated walking through the halls of my school. I hated having to listen to Top 40 in the resource room, every day. Now is the happiest, that I've ever been, because I'm not a fake hippie, or a fake punk rocker. I'm just me, and I have more of a personality, being ordinary than I did being a hippie in high school and a punk rocker for two years, living on my own, put together.

Mostly diploma. I did enjoy some classes, teachers, etc.

All of the diplomas I have received were shining moments in my life. In school I was mostly anti-social. I only had one or two friends. But I was bullied a lot in grade school.

Neither. I did not enjoy school, and I did not get a diploma.

I think of high school as a big black hole which radiates nothing in terms of memory. I just don't think about it. Thanks for the diploma, though.

All that comes to mind when I think of elementary school is walking behind Elizabeth, my best friend, and noticing that as she walked, her loose red stretchy pants made a left-crease right-crease left-crease right-crease left-crease right-crease. Huh. That's what I took away from elementary school? Ack!

I enjoyed school for the last few years, and now I'm going back there, because I was too lazy to get my VWO diploma right away. I like almost every teacher there and they like me.

I put no value in either. School was a big waste of time and I've learned much more in the course of my own independent research than I ever did at school, and the diploma/degree only has value because society agrees it does, otherwise it is just a piece of paper to be used for kindling.

Were I inclined to put value in diplomas/degrees I'd probably have several Masters degrees and a Doctorate by now, but being that I don't I see no point.

I do have a Bachelors degree, due to the insistence of my family and their expectations, but find the whole practice of "you're only important or smart if you have this piece of paper," to be silly.

Tell me about it, every time I change something on my car my dad reminds me that engineers are smarter than me and that by that logic nothing I do can improve anything because I am an unemployed machinist with no engineering degree or high paying job. Then his best friend comes over who works in the parts department at a dealer and he seems almost excited to see my handiwork.

I was treated like dirt from kindergarten to graduation, with the exception of a few close, loyal, friends. Most of those friends are still around, but besides my diploma and dx, not much good came from high school.

Oh man, school was so horrible. Especially high school. Theye were all so mean. I just wanted to get out of there.

To summarize, I hated school more every year starting in 3rd or 4th grade. I couldn't and wouldn't do the work they asked me to do at home, and during school I essentially checked out and refused to interact with hardly anyone. I would just read during class.

I'm told my grades were in the toilet up till around 9th grade when I started having some actual interesting teachers/subjects, but I still couldn't put up with the organization needed to do homework. Always had excellent scores on any tests... but I basically quit after 2 years of the high school environment due to the nature of the institution. I didn't fit the program... It drove me insane.

I then did what I wanted to do for a few years and finished an HS diploma in a few months of ridiculously easy correspondence schoolwork.

In the end, I value my diploma more, as before my family moved, I was bullied. High school was a little better as I did have a small circle of friends with other band and debate team geeks. I decided to skip my 10 year reunion because I thought $75 it cost for a few hours in a downtown hotel's ballroom wasn't worth it.

I can't really answer your poll because there were some aspects of high school that I enjoyed. I met many great people in high school, many of whom I'm still in contact with today. I went through a lot of changes and made some major life decisions while in high school.

That being said, I'm really enjoying my diploma, and I am glad that it's over, mostly because I'm excited about the future. It's sort of an "out with the old, and in with the new" feeling.

Hard for me to say. I hated elementary school and middle school (was bullied quite a lot), but mostly enjoyed high school and college. I was ready to move on when they were both over though. I was quite annoyed at all the hoopla of high school graduation. I had relatives come from over six hours away and my parents threw a party. And I would have skipped graduation ceremony if I could have (did skip my college one).

Me too. Some of my friends skipped highschool graduation, and I thought, "wait.... you can do that? Why did no one tell me?" Then I skipped my college graduation.
