Geometry is the easiest thing ever, I got an A+ last semester, though some of my peers performed at a very low level in the class.
My English class is terrible now that we have begun our unit on "To Kill a Mockingbird".
It is a terrible story to me, through the first three chapters, showcasing to me the idiocy of American education, which has really never been revised to meet the standards of today's world. I do not know why it is an American Classic at this point. It is also very terrible that our teacher has lost control of the class with this story, though he never really had control, he does not know what is happening, and neither do I, what we are supposed to do and how we are supposed to do it. It seems to be a wasted year to this point, do any of you have teachers that are like this?
Today the superintendent came to our school to announce that our Dean, Mrs. Dean (XD), will be the interim principal, as our current principal will be resigning, so my school will get our second principal in school history. It was eventful, but uninteresting because it was expected by all that it was to happen. It will be interesting after the summer when that dean gets the full job and we get our third dean ever.

^Yeah, it's a great book. I loved it also.
I got a high A on my French oral PALs by saying some English words with a French accent and getting lucky because they actually were French words! Woohoo!

Just got back my science paper on Reproduction. I got 92%, so people naturally took it badly. I don't know why, though.

Agreed completely, and I think I have found the key phrase in Guy89's post:

^mhm. Dun hate, it's a fantastic book- you'll appreciate it more as you read on.
Still didnt get the TJ letter, this is the first time ever, apparently, where they arent being consistent with the mail. They usually send it out all at once, but not this time.
In math counts, the team of four has been made. Then we have six individual spots. Four of those have been taken. Now they need to more people. Me, and my three friends are the people that the couches are looking at for the spot. So we took a test. My first friend go a 19, then i got a 16, then my other sorta friend got a 15, then my good friend got a 12. So this basically means that i am in the team!!! But i dont know that yet.
Have a snow day today!!

Can a teacher participate in this discussion without being lynched or stoned to death?
I don't actually mind my students sleeping in my classes cause I am getting paid to teach. However, if I let everyone just go to sleep and not listen, I am not doing the job I was hired to do.
Plus, it isn't fair to me when kids are sleeping and I have to stay awake to teach this stuff to you guys.
::glares at the entire thread::
In all seriousness, I do enjoy my job and I find teaching to be both challenging, fun, and a great way to relieve stress (Sending a student flying 4 feet from his chair after I shocked him out of his deep sleep is surprisingly soothing).

LostVoice,
What do you teach?
One of my teachers has some of the same opinions as you do. He isn't going to bother if you go to sleep. The one time he said that someone fell asleep in his class, was when he was teaching seniors at another school. School ended early because it was for seniors, and the teacher left him their sleeping on the desk, and didn't bother to wake him up, and made sure that the other students did not wake him up, because sleeping was very important to him.
The next day that student told him that he had made him late for his job, and he got fired. The teacher just told him that maybe he shouldn't sleep during class XD.
