So I never understood the concept of promposals(extravagant ways to ask a girl to prom). For homecoming I basically just asked my gf if she would go with me. :lol: She said yes obviously but everyone else was like oh you should have made it special. :rolleyes: So, for prom I appealed to the masses and made the cheesiest poster I could think of to ask her. I cut out some fish, stuck them to a poster board, and wrote "out of all the fish in the sea, will you go to prom with me?" And what do you know, she said yes. But now everyone is saying it was too simple.:lol: At least I have a hot gf who doesn't care how I ask her to Prom/Homecoming. :cheers::gtpflag::)
 
I didn't even bother going to my prom. I was much, much happier being alone and raging at Call of Duty that night.

If I went to prom and tried to ask a girl to go with me, I would have probably tried to make a ploy off of song lyrics. One example being a knock off of Avril Lavine's Girlfriend- changing "I want to be your girlfriend" to "I want to be your prom date." (Probably would have used something more circa 2012 than that, but that was just an example)

I will say this- for our Senior mystery trip, we wound up going to the Roostertail which is a very high end building in Detroit. Renting out that place is at least $1,000 an hour. All hell broke lose when people realized that I (one of the shyest and most introverted people in my class) was actually on the dance floor. I'll never forget the look of shock from half my classmates when they saw me dance (even though my dancing sucked). :lol:
 
Going to prom is one of the best things you can do when graduating from High School, specially if there's an afterparty being organized.

Unless you're one of the people on the prom committee...

Oh wait, that's me. I'm dreading this coming Monday because I actually have to get the Prom area ready the following week. This might be the final time I'm participating in the prom committee.
 
My prom is this Saturday. I'm not going to the actual prom, but I like the after party better.
 
I have no prom date so I am not going. I probably wouldn't like it anyways if its anything like previous school dances.
 
Well I'm in school for the half day, watching Hercules in 2nd block right now, selling food at 4th block. Watched Smurfs 2 in 1st block and it's #Lovemyschoolday apparently so I had to say that in announcements -_- Oh yah did I mention we're allowed to use our phones? (Just in 2nd block tho lol)
 
Managed to get a few pictures of my class doing prom setup. I had to help put up some black paper on the walls and air up a lot of balloons, along with putting up some lights.
Sorry for the blurry pictures.

Yea our school is pretty small. I've seen gymnasiums at other schools and they are huge.

How many students total are are in your school? Mine on average has about 800-1,000. My class (2012) had about 190 graduate.
 
My generation had more graduating students than the total amount of students in that school :P

About 200. 100 on the elementary end and 100 on the high school end. Class sizes are 11 to around 20 students.
 
On the last Monday of school in term 1, i met a new girl that I had never known before and that was her first day. She doesn't know that I really like her ;), and she catches my bus form my bus stop.
 
Just passed in all of my scholarships in today! So glad to finally have that off my chest. As for prom, I'm not going. A few friends and I are going out to dinner and are going to have a small party afterwards.

Just a minor thing from today:

Someone I know at school says there a Christmas song she likes but can't remember the title of, and she says it might be from the 70s. I don't know if it's Last Christmas. If it is, I guess it doesn't matter since it's not November or December.
 
By show of hands how many of you take or toke a language class in school and then forgot everything about it after you weren't required to learn it anymore?
I've come to the conclusion that the current model of teaching children a language is not very effective through our current education system. Most kids barely give a crap about learning a new language and those of us that are interested have many other classes that also takes up a large amount of memory space.
In my opinion, I think the current school language learning system should be revamped and focus on learning about the culture of certain countries instead of the language itself. A language needs to be taught to someone individually on their own pace and be tailored to their specific needs.
That's my rant over.
 
It depends on the way the school structures its language program. My school introduced Latin a few years ago, and in five years it went from a single class of six through to one of the most popular subjects outside maths and the sciences. A lot of our students aspire to study law and medicine, two areas where Latin is used frequently.

My school has a large Latin department too (Taught by only one teacher :scared:) and I heard that they focus more on Latin history but also uses the language in certain areas. I would prefer all high school language classes to be taught like that.
 
At my elementary school you had to take french from grade 4 to 8, and you must complete 1 french course to graduate highschool. I took the 1 course and stopped after that, and now I couldn't tell you half of what was in that class. I remember in elementary school they made us do french sign language and perform plays which made most people hate learning french. Most people from my elementary school did terrible in french unless they took the lower rated class like I did.

Apart from french im pretty certain there are no other languages taught at my school.

I agree with the fact that we all learn at a different pace and it's probably best to teach someone individually, but I don't know how you would learn a language indepently in the public school system.
 
When I start out with the junior years, I usually cover the history of the English language, mostly because English has a lot of complex rules and I have a lot of students from non-English speaking backgrounds, and so those rules can be very difficult to overcome.
 
Found out my results from a maths test I had last term, I ended up getting a C, almost a D+. I felt that I did badly, but not that badly... Today I had a Chemistry test on chemical bonding, and I actually think I did alright.

I'm only taking a language for the NYS Advanced Regents Diploma. The teacher that teaches it is a horrible teacher too(literally almost every student that's had her doesn't like her and agrees with me). So you go through French or Spanish 1 or 2 learning barely anything with her, and then go into French or Spanish 3 with barely any knowledge of the language.

Yeah, I don't like the sound of that. I've never really been a fan of the idea of needing a language to pass. There are other things I'd rather learn. I care about French that badly since I'm not in a place where it is widely spoken. This can also apply for most other languages I could take. Learning a new language is cool and all, but it's not always usable in the real world. That's just how I feel.
