But I am at a catholic school too (not that it matters, everyone gets the same dates off). I guess we don't celebrate as many holidays here... and the ones we celebrate are usually already during vacations... |

I just had a history test of 75 minutes and I wrote 6 pages by hand... and then my time was up  I didn't manage to finish all the questions because my hand was semi-paralyzed from all the writing... the worst thing is that I probably knew the answers  Oh well, even if I'd score a 5 (which I won't) I'd still have an 8 over the year... so it's not that bad. |

Well I wrote 4 pages in about 40 mins I just finished in a hour and left. I don't care about Bio much I'll probably just end up being a very over qualified trade school student lol. |

Universities to me are both to big and expensive. As long as I get my degree and I like my dorm then I'm happy, with of course teachers who will listen to you and not some stuck up professor who blows you off. A teacher who pushes you along fast with work I dont mind as long a their respectful and understanding. I'm either going for a buisness or computer degree. Its where the jobs are growing and I dont mind the two. |

But seriously though, I think this video actually raises a genuine problem. A person who knows Geogrpahy inside and out could completely fail if he/she becomes so disillusioned with having to do so many questions. There should be less testing in schools. I mean look at Finland, they start compulsory testing in the very late teens instead of early childhood and their schools are some of the best in the world. |

At my primary school we didn't do any tests either. I never had to study or do homework until I was 12 years old. But recently our education system has been changing for the worse... they are now testing children in kindergarten But yeah, Finland's education system seems to be more about getting children to be interested in stuff and teaching them actual useful things rather than just getting them to pass a test... |

So apparently the schoo system now wants students to say with the same group of people for all of high school and to have the same teachers and everything which is really dumb and won't work for sciences and options it won't affect me though

Some of my teachers are so bad I'd quit school if I had to spend the rest of high school with them. |

But that's not the problem it's having general scrub teachers to teach asvsnced stuff like Chemistry or Physics rather then specialists. |

Well like they're good teachers and all but some of them are just such dicks. But I have heard of some teachers who can't do their jobs. Like there's the one history teacher who just puts on a power point and doesn't even explain it or anything. and that's every day apparently.  |

Power points mean you have to write stuff in a certain amount of time before the next slide |

Just had my last lesson at school! I'm finally free! Never again can someone tell me what to do! Wait, school's already over for u? Not really. I just had my last real lesson at my school (assuming I pass my exam). I have 3 days in which I can go to school, but I don't have to, and during these days I can pick subjects and I can practice for them, but those are not really lessons. Then on Wednesday I have to go to school for one hour to listen to the rules of my exams. Then Thursday I have a "practice exam". Then Friday I don't have to do anything. Then I have a 2 week vacation and then I have two weeks of exams. After that I'm done... well, I have to go to school a few times (for example to get my diploma if I passed my exams) but I'll basically have 3 months of vacation then. |

I been doing pretty good in school this semester despite keeping to my non studying ways I been getting 80% and above. My potential if I applied myself more would be unlimited I hope to change that next year for grade 12 I’m pretty certain I’m going to follow a path in Criminal Justice now before I liked the idea of Power Engineering but due to by disability of being colour blind that’s not really an option besides I’m not taking Physics again just isn’t my thing no point in doing something I don’t like. |

Oh well, even if I'd score a 5 (which I won't) I'd still have an 8 over the year... so it's not that bad.
it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
