Most Frustrating Thing about High School

<p>

</p>

<p>Wth is this?</p>

<p>Am I not on CC? Can someone please redirect me?</p>

<p>Sleepless nights.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And I don’t like the “The teacher is always right” mentality. My biggest complaint about high school was the whole “Teachers should be viewed as infallible gods who always know everything” mentality. Too many kids had this, and it was a shame whenever the teacher was wrong or when a classmate would defend a claim by citing the teacher’s lecture as an argument.</p>

<p>my main dawg u got it right
if ya aint hardcore then leave the premise this is a gated community</p>

<p>"So what’s your class rank/GPA/SAT/ACT/AP score?</p>

<p>Why do you care?!</p>

<p>I hate how ridiculously small the school lunches are and how some teachers act like I’m not old enough to go to the bathroom without asking. The most annoying thing is how easy my school is. I had around a 3.9 last year and I didn’t bring homework home once. This creates a problem where 10% of my class has 4.0s and most of them aren’t smart( one girl who’s tied for 1st in the class got an 18 on her ACT). My school doesn’t weight AP classes or honors as more than 4. </p>

<p>I hate how unlike middle school high school has multiple floors so when you’re going down the stairs between periods you trip over them and fall…:’(</p>

<p>when people complain about frustrating things in high school</p>

<p>When people idolize other students as if they were gods. Pshh. They should be idolizing me.</p>

<p>/jokes</p>

<p>No, but seriously. Peer-jealousy is annoying.</p>

<p>Being unwise and knowing you can’t do anything about it except wait to get older. </p>

<p>A** KISSERS! They need to stop, okay? Flirting with a married teacher ( or an unmarried one for that matter) only warrants hate and disrespect from classmates that are trying to learn while simultaneously tolerating unnecessary interruptions. Do you really need to flirt in the middle of class? Do what you want, but don’t waste my class time. </p>

<p>Um…I despise how everything is a popularity contest in the sense that “Ayyo gurrrrlll since you have a nice rack, I’ll vote for you. I’ll keep voting for you year after year doe you don’t show up to meetings. I understand that class president needs to do ISHHHH, but imma vote for you only cuz yo rack.” </p>

<p>I hate how everyone is pretty much a ■■■■■■ who either wants to know your GPA and SAT scores or can’t even hold a conversation because they’re focused on how to be like Pauly D or whatever. </p>

<p>I despise the Board of Education at my school because their ONLY focus is test scores and statistics. They will let you take all of the AP courses you want, but then one could find themselves randomly called down to the guidance office to be lectured on how they shouldn’t take a test. They pretend that they actually give a ■■■■ about a student, but they don’t. Their concern is to eventually make it onto the USNWR list and to compete with the county magnet school. So a student’s interests are automatically dismissed. It doesn’t matter how much so and so loves literature. We won’t encourage them to take the test, continue to improve their skills throughout their life, and to learn more about themselves by doing this. No! We are only concerned about reporting as many 5’s as we freaking can!!! MUAHAHAHAHA. </p>

<p>I dislike the fact that college is the main focus and goal. College is not for every student. </p>

<p>Lack of nap or recreational time. If you’re reading this, you need to sleep and relax. You only have one life. </p>

<p>So. many. things.</p>

<p>A. The stupid teachers:
So my biology teacher knew absolutely NOTHING, and he taught us wrong things too. He messed up the age of the earth, the age of the universe, his polyatomic ions, etc. It was a horrendous nightmare. How am I supposed to respect a teacher that doesn’t teach correct things?? He’d also always be on our backs on correct grammar, but then whenever he’d make grammar mistakes (which were abundant on our tests and lab outlines), he claimed that he “wasn’t an English teacher.”
B. The busy work:
Day after day, our teachers (the vast majority) would assign pointless worksheets that were plain repetitive, boring, and obsolete. Things that were literally designed by teachers to keep us busy and up until unreasonable hours “learning.”
C. The people:
My school is loaded with preppy, drama-queen girls who moan about their boyfriends 24-7. We also have plenty of druggies too… they’re no fun. </p>

<p>Hey, @PolyglotGal what if those ass kissers are actually in love with their married teachers? Unrequited love is tragic, don’t judge!!!</p>

<p>LOL, my life. XD</p>

<p>@ScienceNerd7; I can relate with you on a lot of that stuff</p>

<p>Point C for example. I mean, I don’t often come in contact with the people you talk about, but god, they are quite annoying. There are so many b*<em>tchy girls that I know, that are just so mean and unapproachable, date sports playing jocks and *</em>*holes, and have meaningless relationships with them, only to date that similar kind of guy. Not to mention, I just don’t like jocks in general. They’re popular too, and many (though not all) have terrible moral character, but people still like them; like, what the heck.</p>

<p>Another thing I hate about high school personally? English Class. When the teacher says “…analyze what the author meant…” or “what does the author imply here…” or “what is the mood and overall message of this musty 6000 year old text…”, I say to myself “Who gives one dime about any of this!” I like subjects like Math and Science, which have some practical application and logical thinking, not English which can be interpreted many ways, although there is only one correct answer on a multiple choice test. </p>

<p>/endrant</p>

<ol>
<li>Kids that are adamant on arguing with/trying to one-up the teacher. Like dude chill. Please.</li>
<li>Kids that care so much about my grades like oh my god! Go away! Please leave! You are a pest! I’ve had people snatch my report card out of my hands!! It’s not that serious! Chill!!!</li>
<li>“Oh I don’t study” <— this line does not give you cool points</li>
<li>Stop talking so loudly in class literally no one cares about your weekend you are annoying</li>
<li>Kids that kiss up to the teacher even though the teacher doesn’t even like them (it’s embarrassing and it makes me cringe)</li>
<li>Kids that blame good teachers for their poor grade. Like wth? Study! Do your work! Don’t play on your phone in class! Pay attention! Maybe then you won’t fail!
^^Why so much girl hate? You guys sound like some fedora wearers lol. Btw if there’s anyone that deserves hate its wannabe frat boys. They are atrocious.</li>
</ol>

<p>ENGLISH CLASS.</p>

<p>Rhetorical analysis? Literary analysis?
That’s 90% of what English in high school was for me.</p>

<p>In college English, I write about real world issues where I could gain self-esteem to see that my writing is actually good.</p>

<p>P.S. Still getting over bitterness that my 11 B’s in High School English is the distance between rank 3 and 13.</p>

<p>@AtharvaLarva I totally agree with you about English! It’s like any answer is the correct answer, except yours. Even worse, one of my English teachers routinely had us memorize pieces of literature, then dramatically reenact it in front of the class. We had to memorize pieces from As I Lay Dying, Walden, Huck Finn, etc. Needless to say, our “drama class” has ruined what would have otherwise been fantastic classics.</p>

<p>Also, grade grubbers are so annoying. I understand, you may need that ONE grade to balance out everything. But there is no need to make a scene in class about 2 points on a quiz in the beginning of the semester (something that I have seen first hand).
There is also this young woman in my class who caused an unbelievable scene in her German class. She is not that great at German or languages to begin with and I am sure she is aware of this. Anyways, she started mouthing off to the teacher for no reason and talked about how she was too good for a class that she was not even doing well in. She like stood up and was kinda ready to attack him although he knows more about German than she does… Sometimes an argument with a teacher is necessary, but if you have absolutely nothing to prove…</p>

<p>I like how I do most of these things in this thread </p>

<p>When someone volunteers to read but their voice is monotone as hell.</p>

<p>Like, girl, you be Ahab. Why you gotta talk like he already dead? [-X </p>
