<p>I loved high school...I'm going to miss it...6 days left...</p>
<p>Do you like your school? why or why not?</p>
<p>I like the close friends of mine that go to my school. In general, though, no not really. It's better this year, but in general it's very cliqueish and very...looks obsessed. </p>
<p>Do you plan on going to college?
Of course.</p>
<p>My school isn't so bad. I just wish we had more IB courses and more intelligent gay people.
I'm a lesbian and I'm pretty into my academics and it seems as if I am THE only lesbian at our school who cares about her grades. No kidding.</p>
<p>In any case, my school isn't that bad. I am just ready to go to college and it sucks because I have another year. ::sigh::</p>
<p>my school is pretty sweet, some dumba** teachers and some idiots, but for the most part good kids, no diversity actually, but w/e, but overall good environment, learning, sports, etc</p>
<p>I didn't like it for most of the time, but now that it'll be over soon, I'm starting to miss it...</p>
<p>i like it
besides the mountains of hw, im pretty happy in it</p>
<p>ARGH 2 more years
Public school in Vancouver, Canada. My school really does suck a big deal.
It should be really fun in senior year though XD</p>
<p>I absolutely love my school. I'm a dance major at a performing arts high school smack in the middle of downtown Las Vegas - which does not indicate the Strip but rather Fremont Street, which is skeezy and creepy and "not the kind of place you want to be outside in in a leotard and tights" (that's what I remember them telling me after my audition... I was one terrified 13-year-old). </p>
<p>We have a really tolerant, creative, diverse, open-minded student body. In less fluffy terms, we are a bunch of freaks. We are the kids who got made fun of mercilessly in middle school, and now we've banded together and made this fabulous school. We are very highly regarded in all our programs - theatre, dance, music, and art in particular, and we are the second-best school for academics in the district. </p>
<p>The only issues for me are the incredible egos that people seem to have (me included!) and the distance from home... I spend a LOT of time at school in rehearsals, etc, and it's painful driving home at 10:30 at night only to be back on the freeway at 6:30 the next morning. There aren't a lot of options for AP classes, but honestly, I could care less. I got into Vassar without having to take 395083490 AP Underwater Basketweaving classes ;-) </p>
<p>Sorry for the ramble... I just love my school... hahaha</p>
<p>High school isn't bad at all. It's fun iff you have friends and find your niche. Without a niche, a student is lost. People are jerks but if you have friends it doesn't bother you as much.</p>
<p>Hate it....</p>
<p>Definitely not happy in high school, it's not a fun time in most people's lives. The people that think high school was the best time ever probably will always think that, and it's kind of sad that they "peaked" during their teens.</p>
<p>meh, can't complain</p>
<p>I really don't like my high school and am trying to transfer out.
:D I find out if i'm accepted to the transfer school in less than 3 weeks (and possibly as soon as next week!!!)</p>
<p>I'm really stressed out...hopefully I'll have more fun in college.</p>
<p>Hate it. Can't wait until it's over.</p>
<p>I doubt that college will be any better...</p>
<p>Hate high school. Underpaid teachers, students who don't belong in school, and creepy security guards all contribute to me learning in a horrible place....</p>
<p>-The Horrible Coot66</p>
<p>i like private high schools, i hate public high schools....the kids are mean, dont care about anything, the school im going to is good for sports only, the school im going to is supposed to have like a really good academic program, but the teachers are bad......they give u low grades just for the sake of giving u low grades, not for u to learn from ur mistakes....i hate my high school....over the summer im going to further develop my mind and my body...im going to become one of the top tennis players of the school....the fact that this public high school has ruined my life, which was normal at my old private school, creates motivation for me...im going to be the smartest, the best at tennis, and im going to dominate..there will be no better all-rounder than me...i will be at the top of everything...ive had it with the people at my new school...im gonna show them who the boss is! ME!! Im not gonna let anyone stop me from acheiving athletic and academic dominance! Maybe its a good thing that im not happy in high school, it creates this huge motivation, this irrestible drive, that ive never had in my life before...</p>
<p>Eh. I'm not thrilled with many of the teachers at my school as compared to my last high school (moved between my freshman and sophomore years) and I'm not certain that I'm going to look back on this time as "the happiest of my life," as mostly I'm just patiently...waiting, I suppose. I'm planning to use college as a catalyst for change in my life and try more new and interesting things there.</p>
<p>I'm certainly not suffering any--among other things, I love my school's Latin program and firmly believe that my Latin teacher is one of the best teachers that I will ever have--but I'm not particularly jumping for joy over the experience either, particularly after this year. The move two summers ago was not easy for me, and my old school was much more friendly and I had a tight group of friends. Here? I don't really have anyone that I honestly consider a close friend, and while I'm not doing my best to make some (I figure that waiting for college to really extend myself makes more sense) so I can't blame others much, it would be nice to have the experiences that made my freshman year so fun. </p>
<p>I also can't get over the fact that I've learned absolutely zilch beyond Latin this year. I have a deepseated conviction that school should be about learning (even if I know that, well, it's not) and it frustrates me that I'm sitting in my bloody AP Language class, which is supposed to be the equivelant of a college-level course, and getting assignments like "draw six key scenes out of this novel," and when I complain that I signed up for an advanced literature class, not an arts class, being told that "you're just a left-brain learner, [Sola's real name]." As one other student in my Lang class said, "I'm being forced to be a visual learner." My Latin teacher has not completed the teaching requirements of his degree (he is excellent on the aspects that actually relate to his subject, but hasn't quite finished the bits that are supposed to be about education) and watching him try to get through the classes in UGA relating to education has profoundly depressed me about what they're teaching about teaching, if that makes sense. Normally we learn about meter, literature, and history in preperation for AP Vergil--we've already learned every aspect of grammar in the language and had completed everything except some aspects of subjunctive by the end of second year--and I've actually done more interesting literature work in his class than I have in my English class, but when the professor from his class comes to observe him teaching or tape his classes, he has to either dumb everything down or risk her failing him. </p>
<p>Meh, I'm just depressed about this year. Hopefully next year will be better--I'm taking almost entirely courses that are interesting to me, and I have heard very good things about this school's AP Bio teacher, who appears to be actually qualified to teach a college course and expect high-level work out of her students. (She is also given Hnrs Bio and even regular Bio classes composed of freshmen, which I think is idiotic--she doesn't appear to realize that there's a difference between what can be asked from a student just entering high school and what can be asked from one about to leave--but then I didn't have her for my Hnrs Bio class.)</p>
<p>i hate high school. graduating in less than 4 weeks, YES.</p>
