What do you do at school? What's your favorite subject?

I go to class and then go back home. As for your second question, I don't have a whole lot to choose from . . . um, I guess Japanese. *shrugs*

Chup's answer to this one is gonna be interesting. I've always been wondering what he likes to do at school. ;P

 What do you do at school? Heh.

 My favorite subject would probably be Computer Science when it doesn't put me to sleep in class, have me working on a project that takes years to complete, or working on a lab that is poorly worded in order to make it take seven hours longer than it otherwise would.

 So, in conclusion, I guess my favorite subject is, in fact, not Computer Science.

Uh, learn?
 My favorite class is Video Prodctuion Level III, where we learn about broadcasting and filming. This year we do the school news, and I'm working on a Tales of Symphonia review for the news! last year I made this really cool stop-motion animation of Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros.

I'm in 7th grade. I like math because my teacher gives us notes that make everything easier. He also taught me this: If you're gonna eavesdrop, do it right! I hate the art teacher. He assumes that I'm talking and when I say I'm not, I get in trouble.I also hate keyboarding, where all we ever do is Mavis Freakin' teaches typing.

Oh, and I'm going to be in the State Spelling Bee of CA, representing Kings County.

My favorite subject would probably be Website Design, if my school offered such a program. I suppose my favorite subjects are history and English.

I have seven periods.

I like: German, English, Drama

I don't like: PE, Math, History

I neither like nor dislike: Religion

I hope school is better next year when I have Science instead of PE and Drama 2 combines with Drama 3 for class and I'm with the juniors that are sophomores now.

My school day consists of 9 periods, all of which 40 minutes long, with a 5 minute passing time in between each one. I am a High School Sophomore.

My schedule goes like this:

1 English
2 French
3 Symphonic Band
4 Math
5 Lunch (Free Period)
6 Health (Before, it was Web Design last semester, but I finished that class)
7 Earth Science
8A Earth Science (Mondays, Fridays)/Free Period (Wednesdays)
8B Phys. Ed.
9 Global Studies 2

We have something called "A" and "B" days. That means the schedule changes every other day. For me, the only difference for me is I have one less period of Science, and have to go to Phys. Ed.

On that note, there are 5 Phys. Ed. Classes, 4 of which you can choose from if you are a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior.
Block 1, contains very athletic sports like Basketball and Football, etc.
Block 2, contains athletic but friendly sports. Most people choose this one.
Block 3, contains non-athletic sports, or sports that don't require much energy, such as Golf, Ping Pong, and Tennis. I am in this one.
Block 4 requires no athletic ability at all, because you don't participate in any sports, you write about them instead.
Block 9 is for Freshmen, as they cannot choose Blocks 1-4. It's basically a mix of blocks 1 and 2.

My English, Earth Science, and Global Studies classes are Honors classes, which means they are faster paced, and a bit higher in difficulty.

There are 3 bands in the school:
Concert Band (Freshmen go here)
Symphonic Band (Really good Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Not so good Seniors are in this band)
Wind Ensemble (Really Good Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are in this band)

As for my favorite class, I'd have to say Symphonic Band.

Sorry if this post is a little too long.

I would say my fav. subject is Language Arts, mostly because I like to write and I like my classmates.  Or its band...no, Language.  Band is great though.

In the morning I take grade 12 courses, in the afternoon I teach at the elementary school.  I like it, and I can't wait to go through university and become a full-time primary teacher.

I'm a junior right now, and school's a piece o' cake for me. Our day consists of 7 50-minute classes. My first four classes(Calculus, Psychology, English and Religion(a Catholic school requirement)) regularly give homework, but my last three (Programming, Art, and Teacher's Aide) are a breeze. I'm a speed demon when it comes to homework, so I can usually get everything done in school. And when I get research papers and crap, I can use my 5th and 7th periods to work on them in the computer lab a lot of times, since I've virtually completed everything for the year in Programming by now and I get the Aide period off a lot anyway. Combining my in-school time resources effectively, I bring virtually nothing home every day, leaving every single afternoon and weekend free, and I've still managed straight A's so far this whole year.

This is just as awesome as it gets.

EDIT: Whoops, got so far into that bragging rant that I forgot to mention my favorite subject. Well, anyone who knows how I am can easily guess that it's Programming. After first quarter, I showed enough skill that my teacher let me start writing games in there instead of doing the boring assignments! I've written about 5 or 6 good games in there now, and the 7th and 8th graders play them all the time. I'll have to wait till I can get a floppy over there to bring them home so I can show them here.

What do I do?  Hmmm...not a whole lot.  My teachers mostly give us notes, and I write them down.  Except for my ELA class, which I do very little but make fun of my teacher, who is dumber than a sack of hammers.

My favorite class would be earth science.  Its a very small class, which is good, and I have a bunch of friends, so thats pretty good.  Incidentally, I'm going with two other friends to the NYS Envirothon, this Thursday.  Wish us luck!

Me and my friends invented a new version of the game Pickle. Now you run between the entire baseball field instead of just 2 bases, and there are 2 tennis balls flying around.
I'm probably the only 7th grader here, am I not?

Speaking of school, I'm doing some reading right now for my government and politics of Japan class, and I just came across this:

"Fifth, how are these elites selected? Are they selected upon some objective measure of merit, talent, and integrity? Or are they selected through 'an old-boy network' and family background?"

So what do you think, Fifth?

Title: Re: School
Post by: Fifth on April 28, 2005, 03:33:25 PM
I don't think it's fair to make a binary choice here.  I think that, for the most part, they'd like to give the impression that the elites are picked for their worth and, for the most part, they try hold towards the ideal of meritocracy, but unfortanitely meritocracy is exactly that: an ideal.  Family background is always a part of the decision; I don't think its possible to avoid it.  But at the same time, its impossible condemn the process simply for that; family background has had a long-standing connection with honor and reverence, and is not without its significance both with the selected individual and the way that individual is recieved by the public.

...um, yeah...

Anyway, as far as school goes, I'm done.
Graduated last saturday, had my last final monday (it's a weird system, okay?)
I'm now officially unemployed.

Go Moon!

I dislike school, even though I stayed on for the 5th & 6th years.. because I didn't know what I wanted to do (and I still don't)

I loved art since forever, and art teachers are kinda cool (did I just say that my teacher was cool??) But I dont like being told how to draw or make a picture, 'cause I believe that all my artwork is personal, and in a way special to me (even if it's just a crappy doodle on a notebook) I love art & you should never underestimate your own creative ablity..

I like photography too, ever since i got a digi cam for xmas & started taking silly picture, I made an online photo album, I am taking photography & am considering doing it at college when I leave school..

I think I only got 2 weeks of school then exams :(
So I left it a bit late for applying to college.. ah well *shrugs*
