lol, I actually loved school, just cuz it got me away from my house. In grade school, I was probably one of the only kids who dreaded the end of school.I agree with you, Wiki. When I was a kid school bored me to TEARS, I cannot adequately describe just how boring it usually was. When I was much younger and going to grade school in Shreveport, I distinctly remember getting into trouble because I was a 1rst grader who snuck the 6th grade reading books. MAN did I get in trouble over that! But, who the fuck wants to read, "See Dick and Jane run" when they've already progressed to National Geographic?
By the time I'd gotten to high school it was even worse. Most of my teachers were overwhelmed and didn't want to be bothered, I'd been raised with the dogma that called school "The 12 Year Sentence" as I watched idiots get better grades than I NOT because they scored so well on tests, but because they did the fucking homework. I had teacher after teacher tell me that in order to help the kids who weren't so smart get better grades the scoring was based on the amount of work produced and not at all the quality. One day, just to find out how important that homework was I turned in my "assignment" with nothing but "Mary had a little lamb" written over and over. Not only was I complimented by the teacher for turning in homework but I got a better grade because of that fucking piece of paper. Nevermind getting A's and B's on my tests, it was all about the homework.
That was the last time I made any effort (outside classes like chemistry and my honors class that I ended up being kicked out of, but it was ok because the teacher couldn't fucking SPELL and I told him that he had no business teaching any English class, let alone an HONORS class if he couldn't fucking SPELL!) in public school. College was different, but after a couple of years I got itchy again, left and went to work.
cannaboy, you're a fucking RIOT!
lol, that's cool, but we're talking more about people who go out of their way to type stupid shit. I mean, I make typos or spell shit wrong often enough, but I'm not going out of my way to do it, you know? I don't mind mispellings, especially since most of us are high when we're here....I just can't stand the silly nonsense.
Some teachers are just losers. I remember stapling a chemistry lab to the back of a 3 page essay(the essay was supposed to be 10 pages) in english and getting a 110%. He didn't even care what was written and wasn't there to help me learn. Assholes. They got paid to be there, I didn't.I agree with you, Wiki.

This teacher did that stuff, too. I guess years of dealing with highschool students 24/7 turned him into just another lazy bastard.
