I always used to get answers and help off Google for my science homework. The teacher always thought I was good at science... Until the exams and tests came and I barely passed. XD

I just finished my summer reading today. I really glad I'm done too, the book was terribly boring.

pokejungle August 24th, 2007 10:54 AM

Google is the bomb. I use it a lot.

But now I'm going to go take a shower, and I'll be Google-less. Sad.

It was the opposite for me, oddly enough.

I wouldn't do that great in class, but when tests came up, I did really good.

Without cheating. It's weird. XD

I didn't even pass my last exams. They were the most important as well. I have always been good in lessons but during tests I never seem to do well at all. I am having to retake my last year so I will be at school an extra year before I can go to University.

I'm guessing you probably studied a lot for those tests, right? XD
I never studied. If I ever tried studying, I would fall asleep or get side-tracked or find an excuse. I'm guessing that would explain my bad science grade... ._.

Man, that really sucks. X_x

I'm worried about passing my French class, I was never good at that except for memorizing words. Sentences are ebil.

(Btw, I haven't seen you post in here for a long time, either that or I've missed your posts XD)

Yeah, every summer since freshman year.

Goodness... Over here teachers don't bother giving summer homework. I think they're too lazy or something. Look on the bright side though, Simon. You always have to almighty power of knowledge found in the internet. You can honestly find answers and help with anything on Google.

That's my plan for the essays I have. The internet can only do so much for me though. I'm not capable of sparknoting an entire book and passing a test on it, so the reading I still have to do. However, my friends are rather experienced passing a test decently with just sparknotes or whatever else. ._.

Nope. Science is the one thing I've never had to study. A lot of the time I wouldn't even know some of the answers, I'm just really good at guessing things.

Yeah, true. As much as the internet has, it can't be a fail-safe solution to everything. At least it can help a bit. You even have to pass a test based on the work you did over the summer? Man, Simon, that must suck. .___.; Hmmm... try making a study group with your friends and pass on information between yourselves and help each other. It's what I do when I'm faced with a tough homework assignment.

Razer302 August 24th, 2007 11:08 AM

My friends don't do any study groups or anything like that. I have to do everything on my own. I prefer it that way though as nobody is able to take the work you have done and say that they did it. That happened to me once when I let someone read my work and they copied some of it.

Emma August 24th, 2007 11:09 AM

At my school I never get homework in the summer, that'd suck if we did, though. D:

Science used to be one of my weakest subjects in late year 8 and early year 9, but I managed to do well enough in my SAT exams to get into top set when I go back.

I tend to use google a lot when I have homework, just to get it over and done with, I guess. XD;

The Real AAA August 24th, 2007 11:10 AM

I never do my homework that's why I'm going to 8th grade for the second time :(

>.> I don't know how it is with your friends, but on my end a group of friends doesn't study. What a group does is bring along one or two smart students and mooch off their work.

Oh that sucks >.<

I always do my homework really. It's just I barely get homework in the first place ^.^

anemos August 24th, 2007 12:27 PM

Isn't though. I was really dissapointed when I started high school, everone always told me it would be great, and it's not. I don't know, maybe this year will be better.

Razer302 August 24th, 2007 12:35 PM

I stopped doing my homework. But know i regret it. I didn't do all I could to pass so it my own fault I failed.

Youtube isn't even blocked.

At my old school, Google was blocked and Wikipedia wasn't?

Not sure about youtube.

DarkGreg August 24th, 2007 1:19 PM

I've never checked Youtube, but Google and Wiki are allowed.

It's weird that schools do it different than each other.

LOL. Boys, don't worry.


We don't have blocks on our school computers. I dunno why, maybe the faculty is just dumb ._.

Or maybe they want to see the raunchy sites when the students go home.

That what all schools should do.

If they think we're gonna go on innapropriate sites in SCHOOL then they are plain stupid. XD

Well Paul, you've got a good point. My I.C.T teacher was on a site like that.

Razer302 August 24th, 2007 1:38 PM

^ Lol. That would be funny.
Can't believe your school blocks nothing. I thought schools would block the same things.
