Have You Ever

That's the way it was last year in my old school, I was bored out of mt mind...my school in mexico was so much more advanced that when i moved to miami 3 years ago and entered the sixth grade i was sooo bored, and continued being bored till 8th grade

Now in HS my class selections are HUGE and I;m in all very advanced classes, some of them (my Spanish class this year was all seniors, after next year (AP Spanish Lit) there are no more spanish classes for me to take!) are mostly older students, so now I am challenged enough in my classes to make me work extremely hard....so I dont have the luxury of confusing teachers...except in World Civ (World History) the teacher was so dumb, i had the time of my life

I'm mean...

In Minnesota we put students like you in college so you can harrass the professors and leave the hs teachers alone... [/quote]
I have almost done that here too.

You are scaring me. I plan to start teaching in a couple of years. Once my kids start school.

I was bored out of my mind in high school, too. And most of grade school, actually.

I don't know if I ever picked on my teachers, but they would stop calling me and ignoring me because they knew that I knew the answer to almost everything.

Although, with religion class, I would sometimes attempt to correct them when they said something not quite right. Heck, I could've taught all the religion classes in my high school. And gradeschool, too. They were so bad.

Have I been called a smart alec? Only by my father. But then again, where did I learn it from?

[quote]I am a high schooler now. I dislike school for many reasons. But don't we all? LOL! But the reasons I dislike it are largly because I am bored. I am a more advanced student and I get stuck with a lot of regular students. It isn't that they are bad students it is just that everything is sooooo slow and easy. LOL.[/quote]

Phatmass is not a bragging space, Iacobus.










Hey everybody, look at me! I have elbows!















I always gave my math teachers hell. Here's the story:

Going into seventh grade, I had to take a math placement test. I placed for algebra. They were out of room, so they put me in pre-algebra. Going into [i]eighth[/i] grade, I had to take a math placement test. I placed for algebra. They were out of room, so they put me in pre-algebra, again. In high school, I finally took algebra and my lowest grade in the class was 98.5% (my highest was 102%). So, after my freshman year, during which I corrected the teacher numerous times, I took geometry in summer school. Finally a change to stretch my wings! Well, there was an option of testing out of individual chapters, with parent permission. The first test failed, and I would have to start doing the homework and then taking the tests. I got the form signed by my parents, took two or three tests a day, and got a full year's credit in geometry in under a week! Then I didn't have to show up for class again. It was .

There is a (Lutheran) kid in my religion class who comes in everyday and corrects my teacher on historical dates. He is usually right! Me, I can't stand the wishy-washyness of a supposedly Catholic religious education, so I sit in the back and read the CCC.

[quote name='Sojourner' date='Jun 9 2004, 11:16 AM'] My trig teacher would work problems on an overhead with non-permanent markers so we could watch and take notes; then when he was done he would spray the slide with windex and wipe it off before starting the next problem.

Once, he had been using red and blue markers, so when he sprayed it they all kind of mixed together. He starts laughing and says, "ha ha -- Smurf blood!" We all totally cracked up. [/quote]

I taught my AP US history class a few times. Hehe.
