<p>My experience: you don't get to the French Revolution in World History, as in, not even cover it.</p>
<p>It's publicized for race riots/violence.</p>
<p>students go to the library to check out "books" (the marijuana and money placed behind specific books) and use the copy machine to to make "copies" (counterfeit money).</p>
<p>but then, drug dogs and random FBI agents makes things more interesting...</p>
<p>Your Enviromental Science instructor is nationally publicized for having a class that is too hard and has a few grades based on organization. If you want to find out about her, she is named Cara Sajko. It is pronounced the same way as psycho.</p>
<p>I think the average in the class was around 80% (C-). I got a 94(A) in that class.</p>
<p>the average for your comp sci class was an F. I managed the highest grade of a 90%. the ultimate low grade of my entire life.</p>
<p>probably related to that Cara Sajko...</p>
<p>you live in canada, gym teachers teach classes like chemistry, physics, and biology, students are smarter than teachers, there's a special and legal area for smoking where grade 9's-12's frequent, students smoke and do drugs openly outside of school, and enriched classes have no selectivity. The list goes on and on, but I'll stop before i get out of control.</p>
<p>Also, imagine this, in biology class, we get to disect animals, mostly pickled ones, therefore all the internal organs are yellow. Well, the teacher gives us a 3 page sheet that has directions and descriptions of the internal structures we're supposed to label. Well this is what it says" Find the liver. It's shaped round and yellow. Find the stomach, it's long and a creamy yellow. Or, find the heart, It's on top of the liver and is a slightly light yellow color. I ask you, what is this? Biology is a waste of time. It's my least favorite class and the kids are the absolute worst. The teacher also teaches gym, and I firmly believe that gym teachers should NOT be allowed to teach anything but gym. The average in the class was around 60%. I think there were 4 failures ranging from 39-45%. I managed to maintain a 91, but I learned absolutely nothing. She just gave us one gigantic booklet for the animal kingdom, and then one for the plant kingdom. We were just supposed to answer questions and she was just supposed to do nothing. she's just stupid.</p>
<p>A 66% in Physics is the highest grade...</p>
<p>The AP bio teacher assigns a 200 page book to write...</p>
<p>The English 4 AP class is a joke next to English 3H...</p>
<p>Oh, and it takes 3 years to build an elevator...</p>
<p>55-60% is the average mark for tests in all classes.</p>
<p>and when people in your math class still have trouble remembering the 8 times tables</p>
<p>Haha, we didn't get to the French Revolution either in world history, a "core" class in our cirriculum. What a joke. Also, about 70% of our teachers are coaches. I can honestly say that, although many of our teachers are motivated and nice, we have only two--yes, two--competent teachers. I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't found that spark or incentive to read outside of class..</p>
<p>you have gym assignments that require you to write essays.</p>
<p>having only 5 weeks for summer vacation this year (in addition to 2 weeks for winter, and 1 week for spring)
we have assignments in advisory (2 pg summaries of what you did, quickwrites each study group day, 2 hrs of online prep, annual exhibition, etc.)</p>
<p>When the fire alarm goes off twice a week and everyone has to go outside.</p>
<p>when people take APs but most get Fs</p>
<p>when random kids show up and ask for us to show them the location of the fire alarm and 20 min. later there is an evacuation</p>
<p>when catholicism is part of the curriculum</p>
<p>when a student is expelled for burning the school newspaper at lunch</p>
<p>when OUR COMPUTER TEACHER IS FIRED FOR BEING DRUNK AT SCHOOL</p>
<p>when my Western Civilization class skips the magna carta</p>
<p>when there is only one AP and it is only for the absolute TOP of the class students (and it's only ENGLISH! how pathetic)</p>
<p>When even the students know the drama between the teachers, and one teacher has had a harrassing offense on his record and 1/3 of the students don't know the difference between your and you're, it's and its, there and they're</p>
<p>When a Lincoln Douglas debater ranks 3rd in the state, 11 others actually went to state in Forensics and Debate. and what does everyone have to say... "We have a debate team?"</p>
<p>The Academic Decathlon team placed 5th in state and they're not even mentioned in the yearbook, but the Music Theory AP class has a two page spread...</p>
<p>When your teachers call your principal "a freak"</p>
