When it comes to surgeries I have have gotten to get things removed, I recall I have gotten my tonsils, adenoids, and two of my wisdom teeth removed. I still need to find time to get my remaining wisdom teeth removed. As for dentists, I think I once bit a dentist when I was younger.
 
I haven't had to get my wisdom teeth out (yet) but we shall see! Both my mother and sister got theirs out when they were 24 so let's see if that happens to me too hehe. Eek. Or else maybe I'll be in the same boat as you, Sheep.

Also phew, only 1.5 hours more of work! I am ready to go home and do some... more school work LOL. So much for the weekend. Oh well, I cannot complain, I love to be busy <3 Hope everyone is having a nice weekend~
 
I'm rarely ever focusing on my work on Fridays and Saturdays, but I feel like that's something I should work on at some point. And my weekend is going alright, even though there's some snow out and it was predicted with more, but it's not snowing anymore right now.
 
I had like literally no homework, in our school we had different communities where we focused on different learning styles and the one I was in we did literally everything with technology. My Junior year they even bought brand new laptops for everyone to use so they could work on projects and stuff at home or whatever without worrying about flash drives or not having a computer that works with what we were using or doing. I made some mistakes but my grades were pretty far above average, I just really really fucked up towards the end and didn't end up graduating.
 
In private school, I had nowhere near as much work as what my siblings had while they were in high school. My brother would end up spending hours taking care of loads of work, which I knew was a big deal for him. Sometimes he'd be up past midnight. But I had a much lighter load to take care of.

And here I am in the university. Come the end of the year, i'll most likely be done with that.
 
I actually didn't have much homework myself. I was in resource classes, which are basically special education ones. They are like regular classes but were smaller with less homework and more modified lessons. The reason I didn't do homework was because when I came home, I wanted nothing to do with school. My parents dealt with far too many of my meltdowns/outbursts to get me to do it too, and they just gave up. :/
 
If I had had homework I'm sure I would have had a lot harder time staying in honors for as long as I did. School would end every day and I'd go lift, then go to football practice and then marching band until 9. Most nights I wouldn't even get home until like 10 and I was just too tired to even eat a lot of times. If I had had to do homework, I would have had a mental breakdown at some point I'm sure.
 
I'm actually somewhat surprised at the amount of homework there is at my school. I'm in advanced classes, so a large workload is to be somewhat expected, and I can deal with it.
I just think there's something wrong with a system that is so centered around assignments that are to be done outside of the classroom, especially when a child has to stay up past midnight daily during adolescence. That kind of stress is definitely not something a teenager needs.
 
Homework, homework! I cannot believe people are still giving out homework at all when we already spend 8 frickin' hours a day in the schoolhouse, five days a week. Homework should be projects and that's it – none of this 2 + 2 in the classroom and calculate the mass of the sun at home crap.
 
I hated weekend homework, we never really got it in High School because my teachers pretty much knew most of the class wouldn't do it
 
I never got homework in high school because I went to one for students with disabilities and special needs, and so the staff thought it would be cruel to enslave them with text that they couldn't understand and such.
 
One of my classes in community college had a professor who told us she thought that we don't learn much from taking tests, as opposed to homework assignments where we find things to report such as newspaper articles and magazines, so we never had any tests in that course. I also heard one student had a class where the majority of their grades were from answering reading questions and they didn't have any tests either.
 
My Algebra II honors teacher gave us homework every day, but he never counted it for a grade. He said it really didn't matter whether we did the homework or not, because all that really mattered was our test grades and if we knew the content it would show and if we didn't then that would show and that grading homework only helps people slide by when they don't really understand the content.
 
I went to a pretty good private school during college and come the final few years, the education structure here is a bit different. I never got much homework by the end of it. Most of my subjects ended up being more of the project or portfolio based ones like Design, photography, Media Studies and Digital Tech. So every class would be working on the project, show the teacher your progress and get some crit. I guess english and media studies would be where you'd get any homework and that was more essay practice for exams and stuff (In the end I only had two exams).
 
Well, Elementary school and middle school were pretty much a living hell for me until I moved to Arizona. I had bullies, teachers who didn't know my special needs from a hole in the ground and omfg... it was bad. D: I lived in a small town growing up, and there wasn't a better school for miles other than maybe like... Anson, Maine.

I still remember the damn principal though. I had a grin as wide as the Cheshire Cat and always said "How you doing? 8D", and omfg... THE NIGHTMARES!
