Where do i begin geeeez...
1st off i had alot of expections to live up to cause when i was frosh my sis just graduated and she was loved by all the teachers and staff. NHS, captain of cheerleading, etc. she did it all
I mean i had some great times but at the same time i realy didn't have any bad times....
drove a bad ass 1991 Silver Mustang..Mustang was the offical Me Too car of the late 90s
I played football all 4 years and did track 3 years...
i wore everything from Guess!, Hilfiger, DKNY to Quicksilver, Boss, Aero. I wore my Slayer shirts proudly and wore a Slayer shirt that day after Kurt Cobain kill himself. Was the only guy from the time i was frosh to my senior year that was a GB packers fan and Red Wings fan.
I was the guy in HS who was friends with all cliques and social circles: jocks, wiggers, geeks, preps, burn outs. But by my senior i realized how pathetic my class was...so i was seen hangin out wit less n less of em.
My senior year, i was the one who had all the partys. Every weekend there was always something goin on at my house. Booze, broads, beats was basically what partys consisted of. There was maybe all but 20 other seniors at my partys mainly the jocks and 90210 wannaB sluts. Everyone one else were frosh, sophs or juniors. It didn't bother me because most of em were cooler then my senior class and the soph and frosh girls were dumber :D
I also became friends with alot of people from other high schools so i was also seen at alot of other partys in other towns.
One of my memories was my senior prom cause the biggest mystery was who was i goin to bring the prom and i kinda shockd the out of my class when i brough this girl from a few towns over.
Lookng back with the exception of a few, i hated my senior class. We were probably the most bring senior class in the history of that HS.
i didn't even attend the 10 year reunion |

During grade 9, I would show up til lunch, then spend the rest of the day playing video games at the local Microplay. After grade 9, I was rarely actually AT my High School. If I showed up, it was for the last 2 classes of the day, or to hand in an assignment or write a test. On the rare days I showed up for a full day of High School, I was sleeping at my desk or reading my textbook for the 20th time that year.
I remember one of my teachers woke me up, gave me 2 bucks and told me to go get a coke so I'd stop sleeping in his class, I never slept in his class after that because I earned some respect for him for taking that course of action rather than just yelling at me. He also shared the same last name as me, and we played it off like he was my uncle, and all the students believed us.
Another teacher let me sleep in her class, and would joke with me when I was awake. She seemed to be impressed that even though I didn't do an ounce of homework and was rarely awake in class, I would still regularly ace her tests and assignments. Including 100% on an essay based entirely on a 5-minute discussion that I happened to be awake for in class, placing the blame for the evil committed in Hamlet (in a nutshell, it was everyone's fault based on a chain-reaction of events).
Most teachers gave up on me 2 weeks into the semester and let me do what I wanted, but one in particular spent the entire semester trying to 'get me'. She would wake me up during class to answer some question she thought would have me stumped, but the problem is that I'm not a ing moron like rest of my class, and I would give her the answer she was looking for every time, she deducted a phantom 5% off my final mark just to screw me out of getting the high mark in her class, bitch.
Mostly I was just always stoned and would rather be at home playing video games. I didn't like the people at my school, the few kids I did like I didn't like enough to give a damn about hanging out with them outside of school. I only went because I was forced to go til I was 16, and I still need 5 credits that I will probably never get because I plan on learning a trade through an apprenticeship program.
I actually went back 2 years ago to finish my 5 credits online. When I asked for my transcript the guidance counselor asked what I needed it for and when she learned I wanted to pick up a trade, she told me not to bother and just go to school as a mature student. I asked her what I needed to qualify as a mature student, she responded "You need to be 19 and out of school for a year." To which I responded "Then why the did I waste my time coming here?" She just laughed and apologized that they aren't allowed to tell their students they can just apply as mature students for trades if that's the path they're taking.
I hate school. |

Wow, lucky that your school didn't count homework as a majority of your grade.
I'd ace tests all the time, sleeping in class, not paying attention... was easy. I never did ing homework though. I'd do big like reports and stuff, but day to day homework I didn't do at all. It was ing pointless cause I knew the .
But for some reason most schools in the US count HW as a majority of your grade, not your test scores. :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: |

Actually I would go so far as to say that the single greatest thing this country could do for its students and children is switch to a Japanese or European model with an emphasis on testing. Introduce public schools that require testing to get into, etc and start it young, like having to test into middle school.
Its ing BS that children are reworded and advanced on their capability to do busy work and not on their ability to retain knowledge. |

| Many studies have shown that humans retain more knowledge when not tested, or even not graded at all. Intrinsically motivated learning is much more effective than extrinsic. |

That's what I thought I wanted instead of just being graded on exams and stuff. Then college came along. Now I would LOVE to have 25-50% of my grade based on HW, even though I used to hate it. It's just too damn easy. I always used to ace tests and wonder why I ever needed to do HW, but now I do only decent on tests and wished I had HW. Well I do have HW, but it's not checked, so I don't do it. I'm sure it'd be even easier to be graded just on tests if I actually did my HW though. Most of the time the only deductions I got on my grades was because I forgot to hand in a HW. |

Ya, all weighted work was clearly identified as such (including their % of final grade), and daily homework was listed as a skill that was either Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, or Needs Improvement.
Therefore, I would only do just enough that I could get 60% or so with as little effort as I could spare in between sessions of Ultima Online. I would also write any assigned Essay, because I loved writing essays. |
