Same here, Wib.
All my test scores like IQ and standardized testing show that even though I am in the 6th grade I have the mind of a collage student, yet somehow I don't make any good grades whatsoever in math, english, etc. But it is my curiosity that is the main issue. I have no interest in math or language at all, but I only want to learn more and more about science and history. That is why I fail some subjects but make 105's in others.

I hate normal schools, because of the reasons you guys have mentioned mostly. I'm so lucky to have parents who took me out of them and are now paying the ridiculously high fees to let me go to my awesome alternative school :3 *huggles parents* I wish everyone could go to a school like mine. The world would be a much better place.

I love my school. It is a public school, but it gets all sorts of awards for its awesomeness. XD There are so many options, and most teachers are nice.

[Cottleston]

Sounds awesome Hano :3 I forget somethimes that some public schools can be awesome too.

My school is a private school. Lucky I got a scholarship or...

*looks at the fees*

My poor, poor parents. DX

I absolutley hate and despise school. Grades are no measure of just how smart someone is, and it seems to me that a lot of kids use straight A's to show how much better they are than everyone else. Since I got straight F's in homework last year and didn't do that much better in class grades I generally get the brunt of that.
Maybe it's not like that in other schools, but smart kids here are almost always stuck up snobs. I can tolerate a friend joking about it occasionally (as with my best friend) but when it becomes the main subject of our conversations and me constantly being insulted I do get really offended.
People always call me lazy too because all the standarized tests and an IQ test both prove that I'm a very smart kid. They don't know why I can't get good grades. The guidance counselor pretty much gave up, I got so annoyed with one teacher person (she teaches special needs kids so I was pretty mad at her to begin with ) that I stopped going to her office, and my teachers have offered to help but have yet to do anything. I really don't like people helping me, but it's still kind of depressing to know you've been given up on. I'm pretty sure they're all come to conclusion that I'm lazy anyways.
I'm not really. It's just when I try to write something down it all jumbles up in my head and I can't give a correct answer. I know what they're teaching in class and can ace any multiple choice test you put in front of me, but once it comes to the short answer part all hopes of passing it pretty much vanish. Same happens if for whatever reason I have to answer out loud.

That turned into a pretty long rant. Wasn't even what i came her to say either. xD

Course grades are no measure of how smart you are. There is this girl at my school, she got a scholarship and she's so dumb she hates nature, thinks nature is boring, has no general knowledge whatsoever and thinks she is really smart. I mean seriously, she is so narrow-minded.

Oh god, I hate my form teacher Mrs Hanson. She is so dumb, and she likes picking on me because I actually stand up for what I believe is right. She keeps on screaming, "Pack up, girls!" at us and insisting we look at her each time. Of course, if we spend all our time looking at her how are we supposed to pack up?

Also, "You can't leave this room till you've packed up." Ahem, you set us homework and we need to put it in our bag (which is outside) so we can't pack up.

And for Parent Teacher Interviews, what a nightmare. She somehow convinced my parents that I am a utter snob that has no respect for teachers. I can only show respect to those teachers who actually teach me stuff, and command my respect because they are intelligent and clever. She's such a crappy teacher that I haven't learned anything this year from her.

I have hated other teachers before but I still respected them for being very clever and wide-minded people with very different opinions. But this teacher? Nope. She should have no respect. I will be sending her expired chocolate this year. DX

Lol. I can imagine.

Speaking of dumb teachers...
Our language teacher is horrible. Take for example one of my best friends. She used to be a 100% straight A student, and she was always the star pupil in language arts. But this year we got our new teacher and my friend and I have been making C's. She is the one teacher that I can honestly say is stupid. Take for example this:
We were doing creative writing, and my friend went up to share her story. She got to one sentence, "I really like to eat the warm, gooey cookies my mom makes on Christmas day." ( holiday season we were doing the writing xD), and my idiot teacher goes, "Hm.... shouldn't it be too, not to?" (she spelled it out so we knew what she meant). I mean, really? I doubt she did very good in collage ._.

I need a bit of a lifter upper

So the past week for me has been really hard. *prepares for pathetic sob story*

Okay, so here goes. First off this week, my sister has been refusing to talk to me, despite the fact that I have tried extremely hard to do a lot for her. Then I had a math test this week which I studied for all week, tried super hard on, and I just found out today that I bombed it majorly. (I'm the type of student that freaks out if I get a B, so you can imagine how upset I was) Then, to top it all off, I was so worried today about scholarship applications, school deadlines, and more tests next week that I entirely missed my own orchestra concert. I have been practicing 2 hours a day and rehearsing 5 hours a week for this concert and then I missed it.

I know it's totally pathetic, I just need to let it out

What instrument do u play? Finally, someone who thinks that music can be cool...

Sorry about your dog...My mum was a vet, and our dog got cancer. She had to put him to sleep herself... Luckily, he starred in a tv series, so we have him in action on the tv. Recorded. With a sky tv set.

I play the violin. I have played for about 7 years, and I still love it.

Thanks everyone for the lifter uppers. I really needed it. I'm much better now

[~Rachy~]

I play flute, and my sister plays the violin, and my brother plays bass, electric and accoustic guitar, and me and my sister play accoustic guitar as well, and we all play the piano, and me and my sister take singing lessons, so if we cloned ourselves we could make a band/orchestra thing XD
