[Raises hand higher than the rest] I hate my school I have a World Culture named Mr.Davis and he is a major asshole. He gives me so many saturday schools, and he yells at me for no reason. I feel like taking a shotgun and blowing his head off.
But i am starting to like him since talking about him got me another star yay. 250th post

At my school, I don't even think that they have after school detention. There is in school suspension (a classroom where you go if you get in trouble and get in shit if you say one word) and out of school suspension (aka kicked out of school), but I'm pretty sure that they can't make you stay after school here.[/glow]

What do they do if you do something sortof bad but not really bad.... and I think by "saturday school" he does mean sat. detentions. My school doesn't have many really bad kids but... We do have: Detentions Saturday Detentions ISS's. OSS's. and of course expulsions.... I don't think I've ever gotten any of those....

Wow, I just had my first Music History class and the teacher really kicks ass. He's probably the best teacher I ever had. In one class period, he called Michael Jackson a prick, talked about smoking pot, and bashed other teachers. He's also a video game lover....he even has a GBA. Then he tells us part of the course will be spent playing DDR and some karaoke game. Oh yeah, and he kept begging us to bring in blank CDs if we ever want to copy one from his huge music collection. I think I actually like music class this year...

My old music teacher smokes chalk, no joke, and guess what her name is? Mrs. Stonem. LOL. She turns on the music and goes like "Now close your eyes and endulge yourselves in the music. Listen to it." We all shut our eyes for like 2 seconds and then open, she is in the corner with a stick of chalk in her mouth. My old history teacher was the coolest guy, we had homework like twice a month only, and the whole class period we would just talk about cars and sports and stuff. He even brought in a putter and we played jeopardy/golf for studying.

School has destroyed my life. I have three AP and two honors classes that lay on so much homework that I can only do homework then nap when I get home. It sucks.

Oh just wanted to say something about how school sucks... in 3 classes i'm like 0.2 points RIGHT BELOW the place where they would give me the next grade... g******** now my parents are gonna yell at me when my report card comes along... it's gonna say a C, B, and B when it should say B, A, and A, and they won't listen stupid teachers won't give me the next grade, just tell me that "i should've thought about that earlier" or "what you get is what you get" !$!#%!^ , and quarter grades ended friday so... can't change it....

Quarter ended friday for me, too. Your parents are obviously not going to believe you that all 3 of those grades were above a C.5 or whatever grade. I'm sure your teachers would of rounded them up anyway, so I dont believe you either

I'm sure your teachers would of rounded them up anyway, so I dont believe you either Well... the C was like a 79.2 or something and if it was 79.5 they WOULD have rounded it up... same for the b's excpet it was like 89.1 and 89.? (something else... but it was an 89) I think my parents will believe me but probably will still be angry though.... and if you think my teachers would round them up you obviously don't know them....

I've never ever heard of a teacher rounding a grade that's below point 5. It's just not mathematically logical. Why would teachers give you an 80 if you have say, a 79.3 or something. Not even halfway there. And of course, since teachers are so lazy and evil and don't care about your grades, they definitely wouldn't round it. A teacher I had last year let us do bonus projects that would add about 3% to our grade if we need the 3% for a B or an A or whatever but that's the most they'll do. I know how it feels to need like 0.3%. In gr 9, in ALL THREE TERMS (or maybe that was 2), I needed like 0. something % to get on honour roll with distinction. >: O And the thing is, they DON'T round for honour rolls. You have to get the exact amount even if you're 0.1% off.

I hope you (snk and jaggy) are arguing against sektor rather than me, because let me clear it up that I know I didn't really expect them to give me the next grade (that only happens in easy middle school classes, i'm in high school) I'm just really annoyed that i'm SO close Not so bad I guess as a friend I had 1-2 years ago that got a 89.3/4 3 QUARTERS IN A ROW IN THE SAME CLASS. rofl, that just sucks

Wow, that's exactly what happened to my friend, except she got 89.7 or something and you HAVE to get exactly 90 or above to get on principal's list so of course she was pissed (and so was her mom).
