<p>I've been home for fall break and I head back to school tomorrow. I'm seriously considering stopping by my high school to say hi to my favorite teachers before I leave, but I feel like it's too soon since I graduated in June, haha. Did you guys go back at all once you graduated?</p>
<p>ha, I go back all the time.</p>
<p>Mind you, I went to a really really small high school, so it’s totally cool for me to just barge in on a class.</p>
<p>It has been nearly eighteen months… Personally, I am considering a visit, but homework has been dragging me down as of late, and I need to take two buses to get to my high school from my house. Then again, I do possess a monthly bus pass.</p>
<p>I went back once since I graduated in 2008. I might go and visit two of my teachers in November during Thanksgiving break or something.</p>
<p>I’m too lazy to drop by the old HS. I graduated early because I thought it was beat, so I don’t have much motivation to go back. There were quite a few teachers that I liked, but I graduated in December of 07 so I would feel really old seeing a bunch of awkward looking 15 year olds. I enjoyed parts of high school. If my friends went to visit teachers I would maybe tag along, but I don’t think many teachers care that much about where a student they taught for 6 months ended up.</p>
<p>I went back once in October of my freshman year. I am a senior now and don’t have any plans of ever going back unless I am there anyway to pick up my sister or something, but I don’t really see that happening.</p>
<p>Well I have run into a few old ones, but I haven’t gone back to my high school with the intention of seeing them. Rather I just happen upon them.</p>
<p>Once I went back to watch a bball game, and see my old coach, but that was my freshman year… I haven’t been back since and I’m about to graduate.</p>
<p>I also just graduated in June, and I was considering visiting my HS this past week but decided to wait until December break at the end of the semester when all my old HS friends are going to be back in town.
I feel like going back as a group would make the visit so much better, also waiting until december would make me “miss” the place a bit more.</p>
<p>I want to go back soon. I visited at the end of last year but only got to see one of my favorite teachers. It’s very difficult to visit in my school (they really don’t want people who don’t go there hanging around) but if you make “appointments” you can get in. I wish they would just have an alumni day or something… Much easier.</p>
<p>I go back every few months or so. I like to see my old teachers, especially the ones that still have influence on my life (whether it be important Spanish tips or stupid math stuff :p)</p>
<p>Teachers love it when you come back. It lets them know that they are appreciated. :)</p>
<p>I visited some of my “freshmen” from band recently. (I was a section leader so they were my little ones back then.) I also visit my favorite teachers during break; it is really rewarding for them to see how far their students have gone and what they are doing presently.</p>
<p>I came back to visit once shorty before I started my college freshmen year. Wasn’t really worth it IMO. Teachers don’t really seem to care as much as you’d like to think. Face it, once you graduate from high school, you become irrelevant. Or at least, that was how it was at my high school. </p>
<p>Don’t be that kid who was always around school after graduating. It makes you look like someone who can’t let go and move on with life. I don’t think I will be coming back for a while lol.</p>
<p>I’m sure I’ll visit. I went to a performing arts high school with an unbelievably close theatre department, so alumni always come back to visit and see shows. It’s more about seeing other students though, than the teachers.</p>
<p>I went to a pretty large high school, and I still go back to visit my favorite teachers. My old chem teacher usually lets me teach class for the day, and I’ll usually wind up staying after classes are over to help tutor students that are behind and chat with my former teacher. She also likes me dropping in since I’m now in a pretty decent PhD program and she gets to say it was her class that helped put me here. ;)</p>
<p>My dad teaches engineering at a vo-tech school, and he usually has me come in to talk to the students about applying to college, what you can do with various majors, and how to try and deal with financial aid (most of those kids would be first-generation college students). It’s a lot of fun, and I think it really helps out a couple of kids each year.</p>
