I'm getting sick of groups of people standing in the middle of hallways or in front of classroom doors at my school. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, but if they're younger than me (which they usually are at my school, confused Year 6 & 7 idiots) then I just shove them out of the way. If they're older, a polite 'scuse me' seems to work.

I hate it when little kiddies push you out the way arrogantly. One even pushed my friend as hard as he could while walking the other way in the corridor. I came and deliberately barged him with my shoulder.

One Year 6 cut in front of me today, then slowed down loads. I gave him a pretty hard shove in the back, he didn't look pleased. :lol: I hate how the younger kids think they own the place...

I agree, but older kids don't own the place either. Really, it's just a matter of respect for one another rather than who's bigger.

But the younger kids should have more respect for the older kids. When I was in Year 6 & 7 I always moved out of the way of older kids, I just thought it was polite. But now they all seem to be so arrogant.

Yes, that's true. I'm not disagreeing with you, but it seems strange that, just the fact you've been on the Earth a few years longer that you have the right to demand respect.
 
Being so short, I get mistaken for a Year 7 quite a lot and when the Year 11's and Year 10's come to push me out of the way and find that I'm heavier than Year 7's they get a bit of a shock. Anyway, I don't get much bother from the Year 7's in the way because they all hang out in classrooms instead of in corridors.
 
I find 6th form solves the issue of getting barged in the corridor entirely. 99% of the time (at least in my school) we never meet the younger kids, and then if you do the year 7's are scared stiff by us. Indeed, this applies up till about year 9, then they get cocky. This is just my experience, not to be disparaging at all about any years.

My school has a strict no running policy. Some kid did it every single day and everyone got annoyed. So I tripped him lol and he went flying. Didn't run since. Even the teachers got a laugh (mind you it was a gentle trip and he wasn't sprinting so yes, it was still dangerous, but not as much as it could have been. I would have felt bad if he got hurt. Plus I knew the kid lol)
 
God I hate the younger kids, they all act cocky and have no respect. I always get out of the older kids ways and hold doors yet the younger kids just seem to be a bunch of little pricks. At least I don't have to deal with em this year.

But I can't stand when those two girls are blocking the hall talking moving slow as possible. That really annoys the **** out of me.
 
The worst is when they yell at you and try to talk to you. I don't mind them just talking to me, but when they're taunting and provoking me I get annoyed.
After school I walk home and cut through one of the younger kids' hangouts. It's about ten minutes shorter than another routes and it's not private property so it's worth taking.
But when they say "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, how ya doooooooooiiinnn." It really :censored:es me off. Usually I just ignore it and they say "Well aren't we a bit rude?" Sometimes I'll say shut up with a few other and occasionally a few other naughty words thrown in. If I'm in a bad mood I'll take a step towards them really quickly and they all run away in true fear as I'm laughing.
 
In my school you learn real fast not to make someone mad, bigger or smaller than you. You'll get a fist to the face. Real fast. My school is dangerous lol

This is a huge problem in my school. Solutions seem to be pushing, being quick, or just moving people out of the way when they can't seem to walk and talk at the same time. I do hear some kids, usually younger, make sarcastic remarks, but I just ignore them. If I'm in a bad mood, though, I will scare the 🤬 out of them, which is funny because I'm smaller than most kids. Sometimes they think an "accidental" push is funny, and I always surprise them by actually shoving them right back, hard. People like that really get on my nerves quickly, so I have no patience for them.

Reading this over, I realized I can be an a** hole. I hate everyone in my school though.
 
I hate people that gossip and make rude comments about you to someone, when they're RIGHT FREAKING BEHIND YOU, and they act like they don't want you to hear.

We're reading a :censored:ty book called 'Stone Cold' at the moment.

And in Yr7 I had to watch an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet where everyone looked like a pimp and drove riced cars and had shootouts at petrol stations but talked like they were from Shakespeare's time.

I watched that last year. Grade 9.

"You shot like 9 people, but I'll give you a warning this time"

^That happens to me in French class every few weeks.
The teacher just doesn't show up for 15 minutes.
Our school has a rule where it's a study hall if they show up 20 or more minutes late.

My advisory teacher decides to actually show up to our half hour periods every now and then.
 
Well, while you guys got to do stuff about plays of the Romeo and Juliet story, I had to write an analysis on the song, by Taylor Swift. Who listens to this crap and thinks it excellent? It's generic, crappy, boring, music. I mean, what song doesn't include hot naked chicks dancing around while cool cars, badass guns, and explosions happen behind them? /ubermale

In all seriousness, we could've picked something that was a little less one-sex oriented. Imagine how most of us guys felt during that. BORED

Funny things happened last year. Our reading teacher told us that if we did not underline the answers in the passage, that we would 100% guaranteed fail. Well, I decided to accept that challenge, and didn't underline a single thing. In fact, I used no strategies, and got a perfect score. You can imagine how my teacher treated me the rest of the year.
 
April 12th: I get to present (in front of a panel of teachers from other grades + the school principal) something called a "Benchmark Portfolio"; It is basically a 20 minute presentation (presented by YOU) to show why you are ready to go into 11th grade. It is, as those who struggle to speak publicly would know, quite difficult. However, I have a dilemma:


https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0Ad-P5BUYfoLxZG1jbTNuaF81eDg3am5mZGg <Standard

https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0Ad-P5BUYfoLxZG1jbTNuaF8xMmZkcWI0eGY1 <Simplified

These two are both the same slideshow, with one being "simplifiied". I need feedback on what makes more sense for a presentation of this scale.

Feedback from adults preferred.
 
Quickly: too much information on the slides. Keep sentences to minimum. Never read off of the slides because the audience can as well. Instead put the topics you will be speaking about in bullets and then talk about them instead of reading off of the slides. Helpful hint during my college years.

So, work on simplifying the "simplified" version?
 
Correct.

For example you wrote - The purpose of Benchmark Portfolio is to prepare you for 11th grade, whilst proving to the teachers that you are worth sending to the upper division.

Instead I would write in a bullet: The purpose of Benchmark Portfolio

And then say to the audience the purpose of the benchmark portfolio to prepare myself for the 11th grade...

Next bullet: What it is good for etc.

Next: Am I ready? or something like that and then explain why you think you are



I hope that makes sense. Continue it for the rest of the slides. You can do what you want, I am just giving my 2 cents worth from my past experience with PowerPoint presentations.
 
Right now I'm on the Mac to be doing annotated bibliographies and paragraph outlines for a research paper about Angela's Ashes. Instead, I'm browsing the forums. I rarely do anymore at home, so school works. I procrastinate way too much, though. I should be nearly done, but instead I'm on my first paragraph, and have been for the last two days.
 
Well I am currently in Grade 11.
I can't wait to graduate in June of 2013.
This year has been my best so far, I've been strong academically and have a few more friends than last year.
I don't really do much in terms of extra-curricular activities. I finished my required 40 hours of community involvement last year.

I took Grade 11 fundamental Accounting last semester, and liked it so much that I want to be an accountant.

I am taking Grade 12 Accounting this semester, it is an online course. I am doing rather well in it despite the fact I am a Grade 11 student, I currently have 84%.

The problem with me is that I am rather shy, I don't like to talk to many people, but I talk a lot to a few I know well.

I like many people, however they never liked me. So I ignore them now.

I am just being myself, love it or hate it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Math: We are currently doing Quadratics in math, and my teacher has done a good job in relating what we do to what we'll use it for in real world applications. This motivates me to actually do the work. And I enjoy it. Currently have 91%.
Marketing: We had homework that I haven't even started. I currently have 80% in the course, but was sick yesterday. Still should have done the homework.
English: I swear I am turning into my older brother. He was strong at English. I have spent a lot of time with him in the past two years, and my English mark this year is 93%. The best in the class so far.

I am doing strong academically, and just having fun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have an assignment for marketing. To make a 30 second radio ad about our school board's statements and such. Which can be found here:
http://www.lkdsb.net/Welcome/mission.htm

The problem is I have no clue where to start.

Need to have a script. But my mind is blank. HELP ME!

Wait, Vandenal... Just wait... You're in grade 11? Grade is like year right? Because I'm in year 12 but the same age as you... :confused: How does the American/Canadian schooling system work? What age are you when you start school (not kindergarten)?
