so, what were/are you like at school?

[Anderton Prime]

I'm only going to focus on high school, where I began as a huge nerd in Grade 9 and ended up being voted Valedictorian by my graduating class (had little to do with marks, though those were god enough too).

Top of the year here. But I'm a procrastinator, and I'm seeing someone about it.

Honestly I am a class clown. I always have to say the thing to make my friends and whatnot laugh. Most teacher dont like me but wont give me detention because I make them laugh too. My grades if that matters are good, I get mainly A's and B's with a rare C .

 

[GT4_Rule]

I give best in every class. Except English. I hate that class really badly. Maybe its my teacher. I'm really sort of "pay-no-attention" kind of a guy but my marks say the otherwise. I got no qualities to back up the fact that I'm an A student other than the paper report...I procrastinate horribly. I have below-average skills in time management. I play games excessively. But I'm not doing too bad, surprisingly.

Well, last year being my final year of school forever, it feels like yesterday.
I was well-behaved in class (98% of the time, the other 2% I was L.M.A.O. with my mate Lachlan in boring classes), in junior high, my grades were of a high standard, not extremely, but good. Senior (yr 11 and 12) my grades slipped a bit, probably because of the massive transition between Yr10 and Yr11.
I just sort of cruised through Year 12. I tried, but because I knew I would not get into university, I just sort of sat back and had more fun than I probably should have .
Can't really remember Primary School, although I do know I was a good little boy who hated getting into trouble, so I stayed out of it

For my efforts in high school, I got an O.P. of 16, could have done a bit better, possibly 10-12 maximum, but I'm satisfied.

School was such a long time ago.................
Last couple of years at primary school I was getting A's & Bs. Started high school in the "A" class which I hated as all my friends were in the "C" class or lower. Maths and science were my best subjects and sewing. English I hated and came up with every excuse in the book to not hand in work. Homework that actually got handed in was always done at the last minute of negotiated extensions......makes it hard to get mad with my darling son for doing the same. Finished High school 2 weeks into year 11 with A's in maths and science and C in English. Mostly I was well behaved and didnt cause too much trouble apart from when my cousin came to live with me and we[invisibility to jack] wagged school a few times[/invisibilty to jack].

Went to university 8 years ago. Surprised myself with my grades and even ended up with some Golden Key award which I got for being in top 5 or 10% of the year, not sure how really. In maths the lecturer really loved us 'mature age' students because we were the only ones that actually asked questions in classes. We used to all get together friday nights to do homework and party. We figured if we could get 100% for our homework drunk then exams should be a pushover. Unfortunately second year wasn't so easy but I still managed a C average. Pulled out half way through 3rd year, studying and working as a single parent took its toll and somnething had to give.

Well, when I was at a proper, mainstream school, I was quiet and worked as hard as I could in the atmosphere. I only had a few select friends, because the others, put simply, were too idiotic for my liking to hang out with. Quite a few teachers started to like me after a while because of my attitude, which I still find pretty weird.

In Year 8, the last year I was there, I was in top sets for Maths, English and Science, and all my grades for everything were around C/Bs, so that is pretty good considering I had 3 years left to go until I officially left. I was (am) particularly good at Maths, getting a Level 6.2 in a practice test a few months before I left. The results showed I was second top in class, and in Year 9 the average is level 5, so I was pretty chuffed.

Now, at home, I am a bit more flexible, and can work on whatever I want to do. At the moment, I'm doing work that is given to me from College, and some extra studying if needed. I'll be honest here - I've probably become a little more lazy with the work the past few months, which isn't good... I guess that's the disadvantage to being home educated; you loose quite a bit of your dedication to work that you get from the school environment.

 

[Pupik]

Homework was something I did in the class or two before it was due. By the end of the day, all that was left was reading car magazines and drawing on the margins of my classwork.

It was excellent practice for keeping real-world deadlines at every job I've had in the past 10 years.

I'm sort of a little bit of everyone's posts :s

 

[Dave A]

So you never turn up for classes, have a dirty mind and your an A student?

 

[Duke]

In high school I was a mediocre and slightly lazy student, but teachers always told me I was fun to have in class. Never part of the in-crowd but able to get along with most; always had a few individuals who absolutely hated me for no real reason I could ever figure out. Minor ringleader of the anti-clique-clique; geeky and into oddball stuff; non-athletic but somewhat artistic.

Guess I haven't changed much in the intervening 25 years. Only real exception is that I was head of the stage crew in high school and now I have absolutely no patience for theatre and Broadway-style shows.

 

[Sakiale]

Most hated person in the school, wasnt like that in new york though... C in math, As in science and Language and Bs in SS, photography, and whatever else I missed.

 

[szymoniec]

B's here. Clever but lazy. Ironic, sarcastic, so not everyone can understand me

 

[standard235]

A's and B's. Like the rest here, I'm a math and science student. History and French are also easy. Never have been an English student. I have yet to get an A in an English class.

I tend to be quiet in class and get the good grades on the tests. Luch is a little different. Locking kids in the bathroom and bugging the "lunchroom nazi." Hehe.

_________________________

Back in the day, like through elementary school and middle school I was in that group of kids that always answered everyone elses questions. The smart kids. It was uaully straight As through middle school. In high school my grades started slipping, and that's the place where I failed my first class. It was mostly Bs and Cs through high school, and that I'm not poud of, but my attitude didn't relaly allow me to do better. I was always well behaved, quiet, and reserved, but I never did try to ask for help when I wasn't doing well. My dad never did either. I never needed help before the last couple years of high school, so I was determined to do well on my own, but it never worked out.

I also had an interest in my subjects, but that didn't really show in my work. Like my interest in physics--a friend and I would always talk with the Famine-esque teacher about physics related things that we weren't learning in class. I didn't want to calculate how far a marble would go if you threw it at x speed. I was asking questions like "If you're pulling a piston through a cylinder and creating a perfect vaccuum behind the piston, why can you still pull the piston? If there was no spot for the air to wiggle into the cylinder, then how is it possible to keep pulling the piston? Shouldn't it stop because of the vaccuum?" My point os that I was interested in things related to the class, but not part of the class. And therefore I did crappy. Oh well. (there's the attitude, )

Those pretty much sum me up. Attitude. First quarter of every year I get in trouble for talking in class and then by mid 2nd quarter I'm fine. Rough start in 1st quarters because of my procrastination level being heightened by the previous summer. I had a 66 D in my Algebra 2 class, first quarter of my 9th Year. I brought that up to an 83 B- by the end of the quarter.

I've been a good student in Math and Science. Not so great in Social Studies. Of course, English, I'm good at when it comes to grammar. When it comes to Literature, however, I get owned. Finals were definitely a different experience for me, which was last week.

Sigh I miss school so much! I generally got on with most people, (I was part of what some people considered the comedy group of the school, not to blow my own trumpet of course..). There was a few occasions where I flipped out at some people, (steal my doughnut and you make me very very angry..) but I had a fair few friends.

As for actual schoolwork, I declined in ability as i got older it would seem. Back in Year 8 I was in the to class for Maths, Science, Geography, History and Drama. By Year 11 (The final year) I was only in top class for Geography. The reason for this is most probably lazyness, I'd usually prefer to go on the PC than do homework/coursework.

I did however scrape through on the exams with a few passes, nothing major. Good enough to warrent me a spot in the school's Sixth Form although I decided to drop out after 3 weeks. Not a good desicion by any means...

 

[Barracuda]

in school im not much of an anything. im mostly an A / B student and got my first C ever ( it was like a 79 ) last year as a freshmen in algebra 1 ( she put things on the tests we never went over ). i moved to florida from new hampshire last year so friend wise, i dont have to many ( i dont like change too much ) I used to fool around with my friends and mess around during class back in NH but id still focus on my work, but now im not too focused on my work out of school ( im constantly checking gtplanet, i still have to do my algebra 2 homework in the morning ) and in school if there is a class with none of my few friends in it, i suddenly become the weird kid who just sleeps all the time. its just hard to get along with people that are almost the complete opposite of you

 

[Law93]

well, i'm currently in grade 8, which is the first year of high school here in Canada. to be honest.....my teacher last year was waaaaaaaaaaaay harder than all my teachers i have....like literally. i get good grades in everything (not to be a know it all), 6 As and 2 Bs in my last report card. i'm also known as one of the "basketball" kids, and have some good friends, so everything seems fine. although some of us can get kind of wild in the school.....

 

[HACKr]

School, eh, good grades, a few bad ones, but whatever. Not really popular, but not disliked. I'm one of those kids who can sit wherever he wants at lunch and be welcome. I gained popularity from my artistic expressions and organizing rebellions. Teachers like me, but they haven't a clue that the little quiet guy dressed in black in the middle of the class, doing his work, is the one that's been leaving messages and papers and calls to action everywhere. Is great.

 

[Alex.]

no serious bad grades, good to hear!
