High School

[rb26x]

Whoa... RX Bandits...

That what I listened to in high school...

That was a long time ago...

Good choices, kid.

Well thank you! And my favorite album is a tie between the last two, and the last was only 2009. So I'm guessing you're talking more early 2000's? Anyway, when you said the good choices part, I feel like Takumi getting talked to by a more experienced driver. Weird.

Today went well. It didn't rain. Doing ok in math, did some experiment in biology with microscopes and watched a movie in psychology class.

Current Events class is awesome, we looked up "'murica" on the SmartBoard and spent the next 10 minutes dying of laughter

I literally just looked that up after you said that XD


I managed to hack into YouTube and get around the schools filter and we listened to radio commercials off of San Andreas lol

I have multiple disabilities, doesn't really affect me, I just learn everything differently.

When I'm doing math I seem to see what I'm doing in my mind

And I have 89 percent in Entrepreneurship.

Wooo!

Glad to see im not the only one with a disability here! Your like the complete opposite of me, i can handle most other subjects but when it comes to math, that is my biggest weakness! I am autistic, so also learn differently as well. I have had to have extra help with alot of things for as long as i can remember, but i am capable.

Now imagine doing that in a classroom on the projector while your Democratic Social Studies teacher is laughing his ass off and doing a George Bush impression, and you will laugh as hard as I did.

I graduated in 2005.

Hey guys,

So as the learning material gets more complex, it becomes more necessary to pay attention on a test. However, I've recently not been careful on tests and have done a number of "stupid mistakes" How do you prevent those?

 

[Bopop4]

Check over the test at least two extra times.
On the first check you will see a few mistakes, and then on the second run through you will sometimes spot another one.

Good lord.

This week blows. My rotation in tech sucks. I currently have welding. And geometry always drags. Then biology is the only good part of the day. But today I had to wait after school for an extra 25 minutes because of some lockdown. ****ing sucked.

 

[Slash]

Yeah we have to do 12 firedrills before the end of the year, and one bomb lockdown (like that's gonna do anything if the place is gonna blow up).

Open house tonight, followed by the powderpuff football game and the bonfire, then the homecoming football game tomorrow. Twas spirit week this week. Didn't take part though.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

^ It wasn't a drill, I dunno what the **** was going on.

 

[Slash]

We had a lockdown when I was in elemntary school because they found empty shotgun shells in the main lobby of the highschool. Twas hunting season so someone probably left them in their coat pocket and didn't realize it.

Also today, buddy of miney forgot to toque down the front left tire on his '88 Dodge Ram and it fell off when test driving. Had to have it towed back to the shop. Busted pretty much everything in the front...wasn't a good situation.

 

[porthillking]

Had a fun time at lunch today whilst doing my prefect duty. Me and 2 mates were playing hide-n-seek in the school music department!

Is it possible to prevent them in the first place?

 

[Emptyone]

Could go through the questions in a slow and methodical manner, making sure to read every bit of the question. Other than that it's just practice.

By not stressing out over the test. This sounds odd, but hear me out. Don't study, at least not excessively. If you pay attention in class, you will know it, and you will have confidence. Then you won't have to study and you will have confidence going in to the test that you know it, both things will keep you from stupid mistakes.

 

[Bopop4]

Never.
Maybe it's different for others, but I always have at least one mistake when I double and triple check it. It's not that the actual math is wrong, but the teachers really come down on you if you have communication errors.

It could be that you forgot a rounding dot on some random thing, or a bracket is missing, but I always have something out of wack.





Edit:

Please let that be a joke...

That method is all fine and dandy until you come to something that you know, but forget how to do.
If you know it, AND study, then you are almost guaranteed a 90-95+.

Is not a joke. That's the way I for things. If you do your homework you know how to do things, and you won't forget.

 

[Bopop4]

If that works for you.
I don't know what grade you're in, but in grade 12 math you definitely want to study.

10th grade. So far, math is the hardest to study for because you either know what to do or you don't. You learn (a) method(s) not facts.

 

[Bopop4]

It gets harder, and the sooner that you do good study habits the better.
Just some advice. 👍

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

You guys suck with these class options...being from a school with about 90 enrollment gets boring.

So, how is metro/suburban high school like? How do the people act? Also, what is the racial diversity at your school? For us, about 97% are caucasian, about 3% are African American (actually, there is only two in it lol)

Since my school is in the middle of corn country, you usually hear several students going to school every day in their Rams with a smokestack lol. Our school is big on athletics, so you will usually hear sports talk.

 

[Bopop4]

Let's see.
No black people, about a dozen asians, and the darkest people are 2 Jamaican looking twins. And we have all the rednecks park their lifted trucks at the back, 'cause they can't park lol.

Plus little Hyundai Accents that probably only put out about 60-70whp, but if you hold it wide open for a few clicks it'll go 185km/h.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

For my school it's like this...
30% Caucasian
20% African American
50% Puerto Rican

Not many Asian people or really any other ethnicitys. Typically they drive stupid Hondas or Volkswagens which look like crap and have loud annoying mufflers. Oh and blare crappy rap music from their cars to.

 

[Doog]

My school consists of people like me, boring upper middle class white kids.
There's more African American kids than in middle school and elementary, and a couple of them are your stereotypical sassy black women. There's some Asians, probably about the same or a little more than African Americans. A couple Indian kids, as well as a couple Middle Eastern kids. There's also some Hispanic kids, most of which seem to be asses. The general style is to where brightly colored shoes (I have bright red, blue, and white), where black or white basketball shorts (I do that too), and to wear black socks (Yep). For girls, it's pretty much skinny jeans-bright top-maybe a small jacket. If it's not skinny jeans it's short shorts. You've also got your hipsters, but they're a little too common to be considered 'true-hipsters'. There's also the dress-in-all black-and have black hair-and be outcasts- kids. I don't talk to them.

 

[D3ATHS1NBUNCH3S]

The style in my school is this mostly: Ethier you're born a farmboy and come to school dressed in baggy jeans and an old, greasy, dirty shirt (about 15%), or you are an athlete, wear Adidas/Nike/Under Armour clothes and want to get the hell out of there (85%).

And there's the two outcasts: One who prides himself on wearing the same clothes everyday, drinking Monsters, and listening to Tupac (he's white), the other which wears old snapbacks, listens to death metal, and makes horrendous claims, once saying he was shot point blank with a Barrett .50 Cal in the shoulder and another time claiming he got on top of the school with a sniper and shot an "albino black panther".
