I just don't understand my school. Everyone there completely avoids work, and gets upset [like seriously angry] when they have to work. I got threatened to be bashed for getting the teacher when he forgot about our class [happens regularly] Ordinarily, fair enough, but this was GAMES PROGRAMMING. What the shit is wrong with people. I don't get it, all the students seem to think you come to school to annoy you. Not to learn, I mean seriously, what the fuck do you think it's for?

I'm asked to stall my teachers by discussing politics. It almost always works unless they catch on. ;p

It's fun to get SOSE[history] teachers off on tangents. "But how did the gold get there?" 30 minutes of sitting back and listening to how gold forms. Instead of textbook work. :D
