When does/did school begin for your people?

I wish I were still in school ;_;

You kids. You hate it now, but when you're older you're going to look back on these days fondly, mark my words.

Wha-? I don't hate it, I love going to school! But I love going to school for making troubles in classes, skipping classes, drinking, smoking, drinking, making troubles, erh... annoying geeks, and yeah... I love school >_>

I was one of those geeks you loved to annoy. >:[

Started college last week. Classes are boring, but okay!

... Though it's weird that out of me and my two roommates, I'm the good/normal one...

I like school. In a sense I'll never leave school. I'll just transition from learning from professors to learning from peers and/or myself/the world.

Don't forget sexual harassment!

School today was not all that bad......the teachers are all so very lively and Library Duty seemed relaxing to end the school day. Also felt good to leave 2 hours early, every day.

Secondly, that is not very nice Alex. One of those Geeks could be me as far as it goes. Also, don't trouble the teachers, they have it hard enough already. :/

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:33 pm

Teachers have it hard? Some teachers deserve to be troubled. And I believe you got it wrong with the geeks thing. By geeks, I mean people who study a lot... like, 5 hours per day. What's the word for them again...?

Alex, correct word is nerd or tryhard. Geek is more where you have the ability, but are slightly lazy or focused on things not germane to the standard educational curriculum.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:51 pm

What Aaron said, I have been bullied enough in my life because of that. I hate it when others take pleasure in people's suffering.
Also, if a teacher is strict, they are doing their job. School is there for you to learn.

@ Zeek, oops, I am a nerd then.

It started Monday.
Ick.
And also, I'm trying out for volleyball and today was the first cut. I didn't get cut! I'm so proud of myself!!

But other then that, and my LA teacher (they're both exceptionally awesome), 7th grade is surprisingly okay. But school itself is still ick.

That nerd sitting next to you being the butt of jokes and social exclusion is going to be your boss one day. I for one would rather be that detested yet copiously rich nerd.

Don't forget to remember to register with the Selective Service Board, as failure to do so is a felony and will mess up your plans to vote.

I started my Fall semester of classes August 16th.
But this is college, so does it still count as school?
Feels odd referring to it that way since all my classmates are over 30.
Just goes to show how bad the economy is o_O.

Also, tsk tsk Alex.
*shakes head in disapproval*

I took a class once at a community college while i was 15 and my partner was 35 and she was telling me all about her mortage, baby, car, and down payments. All i could say is what i had for breakfast and my favorite tv show.....

Typhon, that's an awkward situation if I've ever heard of one.

College begins for me on the 13th of September.

Edit: Note that's college in the UK. I have no idea what age people go to college in America and whatnot. :B

Aaah. We start college at around 16.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 8:50 pm

Wow, really? That's pretty neat. Then again, doesn't that mean that we provide two more years of public education?

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 8:55 pm

They also get paid weekly by the college Sleet.

I think so. I'm not sure how the education system works over there. XD

But here it goes School > College > University.

College courses usually take about 2 years, and at 18, we start university if we choose to.

Oh. I forgot. What you call "university" we just call "college." Your two years of college correspond to our two extra years of school. We're pretty much the same, and you just have a slightly different version of what we call 11th and 12th grades.

Gross money that can't be directly shared with the rest of the continent.

Coming from the person from the country that won't use metric system, I know.
