<p>That never came true</p>
<p>I'll start
They said if you don't write your name on your paper, the teachers will toss it in the trash can</p>
<p>You’ll use cursive every day of your life in hs. </p>
<p>Oh, the lies.</p>
<p>OMG @alexisss. I have never ever used cursive past the 3rd grade until now, my teachers n AP Lang makes us write in cursive or we get a O. she believes that it helps us write faster, when I suck at it. LOL.</p>
<p>
This, ahahaha. I remember my 3rd grade teacher saying “You have to learn cursive because that’s all you will be able to write in during high school.” LOL.</p>
<p>“High school was SOOOOO easy…don’t worry about it.”
- My middle school teachers
“Just take four years of science and four years of math and you’ll be a good candidate for Harvard.” - My 6th grade science teacher</p>
<p>Well in middle school they said:
“oh your grades don’t matter now. they only matter in high school!”
which created such a horrible work ethic for me that i’m STILL trying to get out of!</p>
<p>“Colleges look at a 3.5 as a 3.5, no matter what school you went.”
“Err, there is no way a 3.5 at an inner-city dropout factory is equal to a 3.5 at a prep or magnet school.” - (Me, correcting her)
“A 3.5 is a 3.5”</p>
<p>God, it really surprises me how ignorant my school is towards the college admissions process. Kids here treat GPAs(Not to mention that my school has ridiculous weight inflation to the point that you need about a 4.2+ to be in the top 10% of the class) as absolute and uniform and SATs as completely worthless tests that adcoms do not care about. </p>
<p>@Propinquity:
High school’s difficulty tends to be what you make of it. You can take the bare minimum, or you can go full-on CCer and take 20 AP courses and MVC along with O-Chem by the time you graduate.</p>
<p>I did have one teacher tell someone that “if you act like that towards people in high school you’re gonna regret it”.</p>
<p>Admittedly I’m not in my catchment high school, but this one does have the unfortunate policy* of looking down on the practice of beating up people who act like ****s.</p>
<p>*…I’m only half serious here.</p>
<p>@trix
Omg. The horror! 
Lol Never seen that. </p>
<p>@collegiate
Smh Our misinformed teachers.
xD </p>
<p>“Don’t worry, everyone will mature in hs.”
Lulz</p>
<p>“High School is harder than anything you come across.”->Hahaha. Never would a imagine getting nearly all A by studying so few times.</p>
<p>^ High school harder than college? Nope.</p>
<p>I was told by my 7th Grade Math Teacher that “Geometric Shapes are not important in high school, only care about the numbers…” (Dumbest thing I ever heard from a teacher)</p>
<p>And, I was told by my 3rd Grade “History” Teacher that Thanksgiving was a day when the pilgrims got hungry and found other people to have fun and throw a party… Lol</p>
<p>The things teachers say when you are a kid so you can go away…</p>
<p>I thought it would be like Mean Girls. </p>
<p>Also, in elementary school I was told there was a bowling alley on the third floor.</p>
<p>There’s not a third floor.</p>
<p>-AP classes are death (sophomores taking AP US Gov)
Oh yeah, since I went to private school rom K-8th I thought it’d be like mean girls</p>
<p>“Just say no to drugs” -every teacher from 3rd grade to middle school</p>
<p>At my high school at least, no one comes up to you and asks you to do drugs or anything close to that. Really. They over exaggerate it.</p>
<p>Aha speaking of the cursive, on the PSAT where we had to sign the honor statement in cursive, I kid you not, it took the whole room about 10 minutes to get it written legibly…and one kid had to stop to ask the teacher how the write a “l” in cursive.</p>
<ol>
<li>“High school will be the best four years of your life.”</li>
<li>“High school teachers will never refer to you by name.”</li>
<li>“In high school, you’ll get your own locker.”</li>
<li>“In <em>the high school I go to</em> you’ll get jumped everyday.”</li>
<li>“You won’t do dissection until you get to high school.”</li>
<li>“High school algebra will be so hard! You won’t be able to take the regents early!” </li>
</ol>
<p>These are lies. These are horrible lies. Why would they lie to me like this?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if this was a lie, but one of my middle school teachers told me that getting into a NYC specialized high school was harder than getting into an Ivy.</p>
<p>no cursive for me except permits and Psat</p>
<p>Dress code is strictly enforced.</p>
<p>Unless someone’s wearing a low-cut unitard covered in drugs and gang signs, our teachers couldn’t care less</p>
<p>I don’t understand the point of cursive, except for writing faster when you’re taking notes. It’s hard to read.</p>
<p>@moving </p>
<p>Omg. I can’t. xD</p>
