We are already in our second full week of school, for STUDENTS; teachers had to go back a week before that! I have to work at two different schools this year, and drive back and forth between them, and they are a half-hour's drive apart! My schedule is completely screwed up, and I have no breaks at all, other than the time spent driving from one school to the other, which is also my lunch time. I have seventh and eighth grade at one school, then fourth and fifth grades at the other. All the seventh and eighth graders have to take Art, even though the state law only requires them to take it as a voluntary elective, so I get stuck with a bunch of kids who hate it, have no interest in it, and don't want to be there at all. I have to attent PTO meetings and special after-hours functions at BOTH schools, and did I mention that the school I start the day at is a forty-five minute drive from my house? Wanna hear some more good news? The school District does not pay mileage for traveling in between different schools within the district.

I don't understand these people who hate art. I mean, art is cool.

Aww, PBL... I feel for ya. Honestly. :'( That must suck.

cool classes people

and lucky you orchestra II (HA i made a rhyme :o )

I go this upcoming Tuesday, Aug 22!. It will be my first time ever, I'm so exited! Like I said on the other board, I'm ready for 9th grade as far as my age, but I feel, and so does my mom, that I'm not quite ready for 9th, so I'll be going into 8th. I'm terrible in math, but that's because mom forgot how to do all of that real high up math that she used to know, so, I'd rather not say on just how behind I am in that. But I am a fast learer, so I'll have it all down in no time. And mom is a nervous reck on EVERYTHING about me going! If I'll get on the right bus, how am I gonna know what to do once I get there, if there's gonna be bullies, ect, ect....She's so, what's the word? Freaked out about me going to school, and my happieness is supressed by a lingering guilt in the pit of my stomache over going, because of her. She acts like I'm going to war or something. I mean, I need a social life. See, she has this anxiety of being around people, plus we live in a drug filled neighborhood, so I could understand her not wanting me out much. She just does't get out, exept to get groceries of coarse, but she herself doesn't even go to visit her friends who have kids I can hang out with. I guess she has no desire to leave the house, or something. I can't wait to hang out with kids my age, I don't think I've ever done tha-well, I don't wanna make her sound bad, I'm not am I? It's just her depression. Uhhh, I'm really sorry that I'm droning on and on about my problams. I feel kinda dumb, I dunno why.

Was that aimed at me? I couldn't hear over my amazing violin. ;D

a) I've already STARTED!! You guys are soo lucky...
b) I'm taking *deep breath* history, geography, algebra II, language arts, biology, health and map studies.(which IS different from geography, at least for me) I'm also learning piano on the side.
c) I don't have a school mascot. I'm homeschooled.

a) when do you go back to school? September 5th:(
b) what classes/courses are you taking? Lots. Orchestra (it's my last year and I'm so sad. I've been taking orchestra for 9 years now.), Participation In Government, Economics, English IV, Pre-Calculus, Gym (I hate that this is a required course!), Jewelry Making, Ceramics, Portfolio In Art (yes, I've always been known to take LOTS of art courses), and a Shakespeare course. I think I got them all. Too bad my school doesn't have a Drama II. I so enjoyed my Drama class last year, and since theatre and acting is what I want to do with my life...it's just too bad. Ah well. That's why I took the Shakespeare course, hoping that we'll get to act out some of his plays:)
c) what's your school mascot? A redskin.

IT'S NOT FAIR! I have to go back in four days! You guys get like three weeks!

*cackles evilly* Sorry. Couldn't help it.

Yeah, but I get out 2/3 of the way through june and occasionally am forced to miss strawberry picking season!

I feel bad for all of you. I don't start till January.;D

a) when do you go back to school? August 21st. *cries with Kageri*
b) what classes/courses are you taking? PSY- Human Sexuality, Abnormal Psychology, SOC- Racial and Ethnic relations, Astronomy, and math, which I suck at.
c) what's your school mascot? Currently, the Matadors; Hopefully when I transfer, Sparky the Sun Devil. :3

You're not even gonna tell us why? ;3

Ouch, pbl. :wiltshock:

Anyway,

a. I started yesterday.
b. Spanish, Art, Literature, blah blah blah.
c. We used to be the injuns... it amazed me how they got away with being called that for so long. [think: 1960.] o_O Now we're just the "indians," complete with a giant chief-head for a mascot. It's still bad, but not *as* bad, I guess? And then I hear next year we'll be the Titans. I was hoping we'd get to be the "Lemonsters," which is a pun on the town's name, or maybe the "Limestones." Having a giant brick of limestone for your school mascot would be so cool.

Oh, the College I am going to starts over every quarter, so I will enroll in October. After that I start in January. Until then I am in search of work.

Hmmm... Well, this is SCHOOL related, so...

What grade is everyone going into? I'm going into 11th.

Freshman! (9th grade, not college.)

What? Your school lets you do AP Calculus in the 11th grade, KZ?

Not normally, but I skipped a year of math. Everyone else in my grade is going to be taking Pre-Calculus or Algebra II. This way I can take Calculus II seinor year. I skipped a bunch of stuff, currently I'm only Fifteen.

Wow! You must be really smart. And your school sounds really good. My high school only teaches up to AP calculus. There's no calculus II.

I think Calculus II is just more theory and stuff, not more math. The school systems NEAR phildelphia are really good ones.

I'm not really that smart... I just learned math early becuase we had this dinky little computer game called 'Math Mission' on the Atari, which is an old computer, and it was basically like taking a long math test with basic functions, just with pretty colors. I played it a lot when I was around first and second grade. That and my dad taught us math with M&M's, so we learned quick.

Trust me, your math teachers could teach integrals with M&M's and the kids'd learn.

Yeah. All the schools in the East are really good. The schools where I live could use a little improvement.

LOL. My parents taught me math, too, but not with M&M's. Probably would've learned faster with M&M's. Mmmm...Chocolatey goodness...

Exactly: you learn faster with M&M's. I mean, I've known this formula: .5N^2+.5N since I was little, because it was the forumla of how many M&M's were in the triangle. I figured out it was the third diagonal level of Pascal's triangle and all sorts of connections later.

The schools near me need improvement too. The entire educational system has a long way to go before it can be really considered good again.

Ah! M&M's. How they do improve the world!

Did you get to eat them when you finished a problem?

Yes, or I wouldn't have cared ; ) I was about five at the time.

a) when do you go back to school? I think I'll be moving in to my COOL NEW APARTMENT (can't wait! with all my friends too!) the week starting September 11th, and classes begin the week after that..
b) what classes/courses are you taking? Music Technology and English Literature - which will both be split up into loads of modules, but so far I don't know what they'll be (interesting, I hope!)
c) what's your school mascot? There is none that I know of, but me and my friends have this little penguin dog-toy thingy that spent the year with us last year - his name is Spike, and he's our mascot! :P

You're not making it sound bad at all Tonya, it must be such a daunting feeling to be moving into that scene for the first time - don't worry about talking about it, it's fascinating I think. I really hope it goes well for you, do tell us all what happens won't you?
How are you feeling about it at this stage? Only a few days left..

I LOVE THE Dr. Beat... I miss being in band sooooo much.:(

Muahahaha. Dr. Beat is cool.

Chick-chick-chick-chick-chick-chick-chick...

He helps us Ork-ay-stra kiddos tune.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

that's my least favorite part about him :D

Dr. Beat was great when nobody expected it and almost the whole class would jump.

yeah, i was the fortunate cellist to sit right next to it

That sucks. We should start a Dr. Beat thread.

Yay. ::)
