Our school pretty much hates every other school in the area. Everyone hates us too, we are known for being extremely racist. Our school was also built on a KKK meeting sight... weird.

Not really. A few of the... less pleasant people at my school like to insult students who go to an expensive private school nearby.

It's all the scummier schools who hate us, which is ironic if you look at half the people in mine.

Well, there's a girl in my RE class who thinks every single Muslim is a terrorist. And once asked whether Barack Obama was the president. Of England... We don't even have a president over here, we have a prime minister! :lol:

On a scale of Lee Nelson to Stephen Fry how chavy is she? :lol:
 
Got my English test back today, and got a decent mark. Assuming it is out of 61 marks (The paper says 63, the teacher says 61, I went with teacher on this), I got a middling 73 percent, which is okay. Other apparently got marks somewhere in the 60s, so 73 isn't so terrible.

Sounds like I would hate Britain. Your school system is bonkers.

If you want simple, come to BC. The only course that's split into levels is math. There's trades math, pre-calculus, and calculus. No silly letters and numbers needed. Oh, and there's only 2 provincial exams between grades 11 and 12. On another note, aren't there only 11 grades in the UK.
 
I wouldn't want to be educated in BC at this time, not with the ridiculous teacher's strike that's going on. The teacher's union, the BCTF, are the sort of people who would throw a tantrum if they didn't get what they wanted. Like a four year old kid begging for a toy. In fact, they're doing that right now.
 
I'm not sure if the strike is still going. There doesn't seem to be anything strike related going on right now.
 
It's still on. As an example, the teachers currently refuse to participate in any after school activities. That means, for example, no school dances and no school clubs because they require a teacher to run it. More frustratingly though, is that teachers will actually get fined by the union if they are caught doing this. So even the "good" teachers are helpless against their union.

Several weeks ago, the union staged a union-wide vote, to decide whether or not to withdraw from extra-curricular activities. To make a long story short, this was an attempt by them to show the provincial government that they want a fight. About 30,000 of teachers voted (out of about 41,000), and of those 30,000 teachers, over 73% of them voted to withdraw from extra-curricular activities.

It's pretty obvious that the union is getting desperate. They are clinging on to whatever hope they have to not working. It's even more obvious that the teachers DO NOT care about the students. Their job action is just a blind attack and they don't know who they're hitting.

Here's the source, if anyone is interested: http://bctf.ca/NewsReleases.aspx?id=26736
 
Oh. I didn't even notice, as I don't actually take any extra curricular activities. So much news slips past me.

Gotta love Teachers' Unions. :sly:
Have 'em in the US, too.
Idiocy is very contagious.
 
OK, remember how I said about the Facebook hacking/unsavoury website I talked about a few days ago? Well now our school has two female students missing. It's crazy, everyone I've talked to says that these kind things have never happened, so it's pretty stressful for the staff in charge.

http://g.co/maps/8nxqd

Anyway these two students have gone off (from the purple marker) on Monday, caught a train to Lithgow (identified by the orange marker) where they were detained by the guard (after he was contacted) but they ran away and are now somewhere around Mudgee (the red marker). This has been the craziest week I have ever seen. Hope they're OK

That's when I finished last year, and will finish in two years time.

Because I had my Junior Cert tests last year, and Leaving Cert tests in 2014.

Kinda like GCSE's.
 
So I have this Socials project on Columbus, and my stupid Word document went corrupt for no apparent reason. Computers hate me.
 
Hey Penguin, lets just say the 73% are not spread evenly. At my school the only thing that changed was that up to last month we got out a half hour earlier. everything else is a go.
 
Just to confirm, you go to a public school, right?

I know of many teachers who sort of support the fight for better education, but dislike the way the union is doing it (i.e. job actions).

Well she's from one of the schools that hates us if that makes a difference. Which brings me onto another question, anyone else schools have rivalry's because we have 3 :lol: Woop!

Yeah, we have a bit of a beef with another school in our area who won the football and rugby cups off us last year.
 
Basically, all the schools found us hate us because we are apparently "posh", and always beat them at sport despite only having about 20 boys in each year :lol:
 
The fire bell has gone off at least 4 times in the last couple of weeks. It wasn't any sort of drill though. It was the Year 11's setting it off.

They sound like a bunch of little brats. :mad:

:lol:

So we started exponential functions in math today.

Simple stuff.
 
I haven't had a fire drill in about a year. Last time it went off in last period and we all went home late! :grumpy: And we have such a big rivalry with a local school, we are banned from playing rugby against them as it always ended in a fight. :lol:

Our school had to get rid of it's ice hockey program, because they ended up always fighting the other teams at the end of games. Plus we won most games.

I wish we still had ice hockey, I'd try out. I'd love being the fourth line grinder that steps up in a clutch moment
