How was your schooling?

Markme · 08-23-2007, 11:29 AM

When i look back on my schooling and the 12 years i spent there.. i really am dissapointed in myself for my highschool years. What the teachers told my parents every teacher parent interview; that i was a lazy student, that has a broad knowledge and great potential.
I really never live in the present, i always see the future.. but fail to plan for life interruptions.. i plan to perfection with my business plans. I also never really thought about my actions... all of them being bad.

i skipped important assessment and tests, skipped many many days of school... all of this has disabled me from getting into uni and achieving any real sort of grades.
But in the end it taught me many life lessons, gave me many good friends and made me realise that once something is nearly over, there isnt alot you can do to bring it back or change it.

We all in the end have to leave school.
some of us do excellent at school and some not so great.
but in the end we all look back at school in some way, im more interested in your outlook of your schooling?

school sucks, but I need to do it to get where I want. even if I have to fake being polite and hating a majority of the people and things I have to do all the way.

sometimes im pretty happy with school... like the effort i put in and that... but other times i beat myself up over it.
it gets so frustrating at times, and some people can be annoying as hell, but for me its pretty much laid down the basis of what lifes gona b like... shit people and all that.
i hate it, but i enjoy it, and im gona b pretty upset in 84 days when i leave!! but its gona b soo fun

hmm school......... at times it was fun, at times it wasnt. in middle school i hated it, i was sick all the time and things were just bad. my principal told me that there was no way that i could pass the 8th grade, but i did. eh then highschool... i missed alot of school, but most of the time i couldnt help it. i wasnt one that just missed cause i wanted to. my grades were good though. i passed every single class. not once did i fail a class. not even geometry, that was probably my hardest class. anyways, i guess i could have tried harder and everything, but like you said, we cant change it. i guess there is no use in looking back.

school..well primary school was brilliant,so much fun!!

secondary was different though,they were really strict,and if i was caught speaking english i would get detention!:( and they measured our skirts with rulers!! the teachers were ok though. And our education was actually pretty good for the most part. i just didn't work hard enough myself.but hey i got what i wanted so it wasn't that bad!

yeah we had lots of fun in elementary school too. i didnt even think about that. i miss those days.

what do you mean if you were caught speaking english you would get detention? that doesnt make sense to me. lol.

and i cant believe they actually measured your skirts. thats crazy. i seen a show where they were doing that once and i thought it was funny, but to actually do that....... gah thats insane.

all irish speaking school......... thats different. and that would be so hard. well to not speak english anyway. i dunno about irish.... is it a hard language to learn?

oooh i would get in so much trouble for my heels cause i use to always wear boots, and yeah they were big. lol. they wouldnt even have to measure mine, just look at them. lmao.

ooooooh im so off topic. sorry. lol.

My school was awful, it was a public girls Catholic school, it was a complete joke!
I also regret skipping lessons and not bothering to acheive the grades I could have - though I am thinking of doing some GSCE's soon, seeing as I have no qualifications.
The teaching was so straight, it's right or wrong, with no room for questioning or interest. The syllabus is way too tight in the UK, I think teaching needs to be about enjoyment and knowledge rather than learning text books off by heart to forget them the next week. School was awful for me, thus the reason why I quit 2 years early.

My schooling? Oh my. This is going to be long.

I got into school a year late, because some doctors thought I had ADS, and when I finally went, I got into some alternative-hippie-school-thing. That was fun. Never learned to write properly though.
After three years, I moved to another federal state. It was a normal primary school there. That was bad. I was the new, strange one who didn't understand anybody (bad dialect). After that year, I got to go to Realschule, which is for average students, even though I was better than average. That was really bad. 2 years of bullying, then I moved again, to the very south of Bavaria (my original state. had lived in the north before though). Because I was quite good at school, I got to go to Gymnasium (no, not a gym. School for good students). The first weeks were rough (new, strange, new dialect), but despite my paranoia, after some time, I was quite happy there.
In my 10th grade my anxiety got really, really bad and I had to leave school in order to go to hospital - I stayed there for 5 months, and when I came back, I repeated the year.
I finally got some friends, but other than that nothing much happened.
I'll graduate in May/June.

I like school. I like learning stuff. I like being there, because it holds so many memories and emotions. I've laughed and cried, I've eaten and I've slept there. I've spent an important part of my life there. I'm going to miss it.

I can directly relate to it, apart from the crying thing. We all want to grow up and when we are all grown up we all want to be kids again.

Actually I'll come back to school some day, because I'm going to be a teacher. But that's different.
