I limp through school on Friday and not just because of the obvious. That freaking work out was three days ago and I'm still suffering. All I can say is, thank fuck it's Friday!
Oh, and guess what?
I got an A in that French test! Granted, it was only by one mark but it's still the best I've ever done in that class. Or any to be honest. To say I'm proud is an understatement. I've been rubbing it in Clare's face all week since she's terrified of her Maths result. Apparently she needs to do well in that class to get into college or something. I kind of tuned her out. She'll find out what she got today, in any case, and I'm sure she did fine. She was studying for hours.
I did the same test yesterday but my hopes aren't high. I'm good at Math,

She hasn't said anything more about Cassandra since the incident on Tuesday so I might've gotten over it by next week. For now, I sit in my seat near the back and stare doggedly at the wall behind her head, even when she isn't speaking and especially when she's speaking to me. It may be petty but I have to make my point somehow; she has no right to try to protect, or to 'keep an eye' on me or whatever it is she thinks she's doing; I can take care of myself.
"Can you answer the question,

And now school seems completely pointless. It's supposed to prepare you for life but all it really does is teach you how to obey those who 'know better' and memorise some stupid equations. One day, real life comes along and slaps you in the face and you wake up and realise none of this shit matters. What's the worst they can do? Expel you? Maybe you won't get into the university you want, but life goes on. You get a job, you earn money, then one day you'll find someone worth loving and settle down, maybe have a few kids or a dog. So you may have flunked a couple of classes in high school? So what? At least you're still alive. And living is a
Throughout my time at Chelan High School, I faced many challenges when it came to my homework and it took me nearly my whole high school career to realize how to fix it. The problem was how unmotivated and lazy I was when it came to have to complete my homework. Looking back at it now it seems that the solution was so simple, and it is frustrating that it took me so long to be able to self-motivate myself. It turns out that this responsibility was a habit of mind. This habit of mine helped me very effectively and completely changed how I went about doing all my school work and studying.
I managed to fail a few of my test due to failing to study the day before. My teacher where outraged and kept me for tutoring to try and bring my grades up. That was a tough time for me back then since I was always bullied at school. I was so ashamed in myself that set a goal to get commended in one of my 5th grade STAAR test. I began to focus more on subjects I was most confused in such as math. I came to every day tutoring was held, and I managed to arrive early in the morning to work on homework that was due late. Weeks and weeks of doing homework and sleep deprivation only managed to get me to a 70-82 in the weekly tests given during the time. I soon began
We all, at some point in our lives, have said we hated school. We all acted like its a funeral one day before we go back to university.
I still maintain to this day that school is a place to learn languages, learn maths, learn history, and, most importantly, learn how to learn. It is not a place to learn conformity or regulations that have no bearing on society, or becoming a drone who automatically accepts everything an authority figure tells them.
The second thing in this week was math exam. I studied hard for exam, but it was a little bit difficult. I was so sad at Friday because I thought it will be very easy. My parents called me to ask about the exam and I said how it was. They told
My education has always been something that I've struggled with throughout my life. By the seventh grade, I had already failed two times. I was held back in the first grade, when I lived in North Miami, for not being mature enough to advance into the second grade. My third grade year, I attended a school Natural Bridge in North Miami. The staff didn't like the fact that I had refused to go to church ceremonies and I also didn't like praying to Mother Mary on the rosary every morning. The school told my mother that I was a troubled child and that I was failing the third grade. Illegally, the school made a deal with my mother, they'd pass me to the fourth grade if she removed me from their school. During the middle of my sixth grade year, my mother sent me to live with my father, she stated that she could no longer take care of me. Once I moved in with my father I attended a new school in Cleveland and ended up failing that year. I was confused and lost; the kids were learning a different criterion than I had.
Monday, I was gonna try to study today no games no getting distracted by Tv or music. Guess what didn't happen? If that was any studying or homework then yep! My started with my trip back to Red Deer with tons of leftovers and stuffing. I listened to a ton of Lana Del Rey on my iphone on the Greyhound home. Her music right now just works with my mood just so perfectly. Her music as well as her are both American, in this case I would say this music is better than Canadian music because I have never found a Canadian artist who sings like her. I really need to study, I’m gonna be so overwhelmed tomorrow. At least I stared at a piece of paper for 30min and thought about how much I hate assignments, progress! Well I finished season two of Chicago
The first I came to the US I had to start over and get a new degree because English wasn’t my first language, I have an accent different than Native American speakers. During my Pre college class at HCC I had to prepare for debate we were four students vs four students of my classmate, and the most important thing and funny happened in my life at that time we all four of my team members were foreigners and the other member team were native American. Before I came to class I prepared my part well I made search about my project, supporting my ideas with proof and pictures I was confident about myself and my team too. I had to seat with my team in front of the class, when the debate started and it was my turn to debate, I couldn’t find my words,
Imagine being a fourteen-year-old teen barely hitting puberty, unable to operate a moving vehicle, probably have not even received a first kiss and already attending college. Would the feeling be of excitement to have the ability of freedom and decision making? Or would it be one of the worst nightmares of starting a stressful, full of responsibilities, and working hard adult life at a young age? Many wonder what would it be like if high school never existed. There is the open imagination of teens having a degree and a well-paying job before turning twenty. But there is also the thought of society experiencing an economic crisis for a low demand for low-paying jobs that do not require a college degree. Where ever our imagination takes us, it is best that high school
“It’s not counted for anything so why should I try?” This was my state of mind during Junior High school. I was getting C’s and D’s, at the time; it was fine I was getting by. But what I wasn’t learning is how to study and do homework like a good student.
Dyan, I enjoy going to the city of Jenks. I would consider moving to Jenks if I didn’t work for the government in OKC. The commute would be too much for me. Like you I have recently decided to return back to school this will be my third class toward Organizational Leadership degree. It seems we have a few things in common. I as well have two teenagers, so I understand how crazy life can get trying to balance work, life, and school. Good Luck, I hope you succeed in getting your
Today I had off of work, but that does not mean I did not have school work. I found out today that over the christmas break that I forgot how long some assignments may take. I found out that sometimes the assignments that we prepare for the most allowing the longest amount of time period may end up being the shortest assignment and the assignments that you thought would not take too long take the longest. I feel that I need to get organized better before it gets too
As a little 8 year old you don’t really think that much about what could happen if you do something maybe a little but not in depth. That’s when it all began my brother was starting online school so I did to 3rd grade began and it seemed pretty easy in the begging my mom helped me; let’s fast forward after being in online school for 3 years. This is when my mom had to work more around 6th grade stuff got harder, the first week is easy there was probably one quiz so I thought this is fine I can sleep in don’t have to worry about stuff at all, boy was I wrong. The next week started then I got more quizzes, portfolios, even a test I thought this is way harder than I expected. I kept getting more and more behind 1 turned into 5 and 5 turned into 10 and so on then I got frustrated because all the stuff piled up.
I'm currently sitting in Math class and glaring at the math paper in front of my face. Why in the world do we have homework? Whoever invented homework must be the most hated man alive?
I will never forget how on my first day, I ran to school with so much excitement, but today I have to somehow drag myself there. There's a famous saying that "knowledge is power" (Bacon) and it seems as if the current system is taking that away from us and leading our generation into a dull
