What was bad about the OP? I mean, it made sense, didn't it?
My friend had to do a presentation about gibberellins, and since he hadn't actually done any work on it, he took a keyboard from the music rooms and sang "Gibberellins make things grow" over and over, to the tune of various beethoven pieces, as well as singing it along to the tune of "knees up muvver brown"

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;25855193]Sometimes we pass by a group of underage smokers on the walk home from school. They try to scare my little sister just because she's autistic :saddowns:, but my Mom sneaked a video of them all smoking and stuff while we were walking home one day (I was the only one who noticed her, and she just told me not to say anything) and will hopefully get them in trouble for smoking, doing drugs and maybe even underage alcohol abuse. :buddy:[/QUOTE]
Good luck with that, if they were just smoking or doing drugs I'd be gravy with it, but trying to scare an autistic child? Shit don't fly with me.

Which is why school needs more classes like personal finance to be mandatory. Knowing science won't help you one bit if you can't manage your own money. I'm finding that my Tech Design (Basically woodshop) class is an extremely useful class. You're likely going to be owning a home at some point. You may need to build a shed, a shelf or do some renovations; you could save a TON of money by doing it yourself. An autoshop class is useful for the same reason (I managed to use the skills learnt in that class plus some Googling to troubleshoot and repair my lawnmower that was surging really bad, the replacement part was a few dollars).
English is another thing that really needs to be fixed. People in my current English class and all previous English classes disliked the class for a fair reason. The teachers made otherwise decent stories, which were a little hard to come by, really tedious to read. You're trying to absorb the whole book to answer some vague questions rather than enjoying the book for what it is. This ruins the book and discourages younger people from reading books.
As someone who spent a few years in special education, it gets worse.
Also, who really gives a shit about anything but math. Math teachers are always cool.
Dis is da Billarites.
Yes.
Not only that but children must be stupider too. If you have to resort to the scum of the earth known as rap to teach them then there is something wrong.
Hard to learn US History when my teacher's sentences go..
"Uhm... In the Industrial Revolution they became advanced in uhm.... Agriculture and uhm... Uhm... Crop rotation.. Uhm..."
My Art 1 Teacher is cool. She not only gets the class to work, but she's not afraid to cuss out at parents for having an idiotic student.
The other day I had to debate a novel (John Steinbeck's [i]Of Mice and Men[/i]) for an honors English course. The other kids in my circle were making shitty points and dodging around things, so I came out and said, "You guys do know that Lennie was basically a walking, talking, retarded contradiction, right?" Everyone went silent, and my teacher corrected me about saying "retarded". So I said, "Well, I can understand your plight then. You're obviously retarded, so you can stand up for the retarded population. So then how are you my English teacher?" I then sat back down, and continued my debate, and went on to dominate it.
I also debated the novel without a copy of the text, which my teacher got pissed at me about. Everyone else was frantically flipping through their dog-eared pages with sparknotes falling out of the sides, and I had a bottle of water on my desk. I debated better than all of the kids in my circle, and they all had books. My teacher refused to give me full credit because I didn't use a book. So, I told her why I don't use a book. I believe that a debate on a book shouldn't be dependent on what your sparknotes tell you, but what you can extrapolate from the book itself. That was my philosophy, and she just said, "bring your book next time or you won't get credit."
I'm a year younger than most of my classmates, and I really hate this No Child Left Behind bullshit. The kids in my honors and AP courses get babied for Christs' sake. I just get told that I can't do something because it's too different, but then again, in my AP U.S. History course, I called the Sons of Liberty domestic terrorists of their time, which my pro-American teacher didn't take kindly to. I'm far too blunt for this system that tells morons it's okay to be a fucking moron.
"No thanks I'll take the zero"

Same with my Biology teacher. Half the class falls asleep when he talks, and 99% of the course is note-taking. :saddowns:

One is not amused.
My physics teacher wrote three songs relating to physics, and then played guitar and sang them to the class. He's and overall awesome guy.
Also, my school gets around NCLB by having the regular class, and then a "College Prep" version of the class, which is harder. In the college prep, if you start failing, the teachers dont baby you. They just have your counsoler switch you into the regular class.
dam that dumb lol and for a grade
I had to listen to a rap by the same group about The Pit and the Pendulum by Poe...ruined the whole thing for me.
The ironic thing is, you can make a program to calculate what the X is in the triangle.
[QUOTE=Raneman;25858812]Also, who really gives a shit about anything but math. Math teachers are always cool.[/QUOTE]
Math is utilized in a lot of other fields of work. Saying that math is the only useful subject taught in school is pretty irrational.

The way you responded makes me question whether I should actually rate you boxes or if you're just being sarcastic. :ohdear:
Strangely, Indiana has a good education. We don't seem to take kindly to the No Child Left Behind bullshit, our AP classes being fucking hard. I remember some of the "overachievers"(the kids who got As in all their classes, always took AP courses, and were usually in sports) getting failing grades in World History AP.
My school MADE us sing a rap about our school.
Lyrics ( I didn' even remeber them that well)
It's te alice smith school
Please don't play a fool
we all follow the golden rules
please be kind, please be good.
They FORCED it.
Lucky for me, that was grade school, but even the 1st Graders Hated it.
they even made use sing a HIgh school musical version of our school, and a song about how the founder of the school made the school, 4-7 times a week.
FUCKING ALICE SMITH.
It's just the students cause the stupidity.
So they're making stuff rap so that it will appeal to this generation? Sounds dorky. Rap + education + DOOMED to to failure
Well... Schools have some strong classes that help, but some stuff just doesnt make any sence anymore...
Gov. Ted strictland wants/did cut snowdays from ohio schools.....

Just don't go to school. Only nitwits would go to school when the weather is brutal. Eventually, if enough people stop showing up to school, then they will have to reinstate the snow days.
That's a shame. My school is powered by Microsoft , it's awesome. Although sometimes we have to listen to crazy song too, but not learn them.
Look at 5.30 if you bother.

My school district managed to weasel $50,000 out of the government to spend money on new computers for the media center. For the past month or so they have been incredibly slow.
According to some of the IT guys, when they went to replace the machines, they found a lot of shit jammed in various ports. Gum, candy wrappers, plastic bags. The machines themselves were about eight years old. Before any of us could log in and use the new computers we were all lectured over proper computer usage. I was so pissed off because I can't believe they actually got us all new computers despite the fact the last ones have been abused for several years and they expect the students not to screw with the new ones.

The computers at my school are the same. They're the old ass Dell computers that look like Xbox 360 prototypes, but have the computing power of a Nintendo 64.
I hate how the other kids trash up the computers. There are fucking knife cuts on monitor screens. Some of the keys have been melted with lighters. Someone even wrote "do" at the end of "Dell" so it sounds like "dildo."
Dell
