Daily Chit Chat - Summer thread coming soon!

School spirit, the real school spirit in my school is gone since 2 years ago because of the change of Principal who only cares about academic success.

 

[Legendary Silke]

That kind of principal = super boring! It's like you get to do nothing else...

 

[Seki]

Exactly, ever since he came in 1 and a half years ago, the school has lesser and lesser school events. As a result of his pursue of academic success, there are 2 graded tests every school term now (1 school term being 10 weeks, 1 year has 4 terms). There used to be 1 graded test every term and 2 mini pop quiz test where you can flunk. But now, there's no chance of failure.

 

[Oryx]

Isn't doing good academically a good thing though?

I literally cried when I had to run in school, lol.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I didnt like my school much, the principal wasnt very good and neither was the one who took over after she stepped down as principal.

 

[Cello]

My high school principal was a total bad ass... When he had to do his occasional "sit down in class and see how the teacher/students are doing" duties he would come sit around us and be all like "I'm thinking about getting a tattoo on my arm. What should I get?!"
Or he would make a bet about something silly.

One time he lost a bet to a student and had to wear a woman's wig around the campus for a day, heh.

Then he resigned and some cross-eyed lady took his place. She was all about the rules.

Oh lordy, I miss high school. Good times... good times.

 

[Sweet Candace]

I had a really mean and strict assistant principal in middle school. She was really scary. After 7th grade, she left to be the principal at another school in the district.

 

[Livewire]

If you're a principal you need to balance academic success with being an advocate for the kids. Being a good educator is much more than just simply throwing the books at them.

But at that point wouldn't they get fired for assault? /is completely missing the point :P

I agree with this. You'd need to be strict when need be, but you would also need to be warm and welcoming, and be a good mentor for some students sometimes too.

 

[Saryka]

eeewwww why are we always talking about school in the DCC? 8(

 

[Cello]

We were off the topic there for awhile, but now we got back on it somehow.
I feel bad 'cuz Team Fail made a student chat, but all of it's ending up in DCC. x]

 

[Tyrantrum]

Not unless there's a district that still allows that. :x

I'm so glad I'm almost done with high school! Just two more months... I think I'm doing fairly decent in my classes for the first time in years. :D Despite the D in my favorite class...but that's just me not doing too well on the work, rather than not turning it in. :\

I had really bad "senioritis" at that point in my senior year. I just spent the last 2 months counting down the days until graduation. ^_^

 

[Cello]

Oh god, senioritis. I had that, only the entire time I was in High School.
I remember during my last semester during my senior year in high school I already had every credit I needed to graduate, so I truly mailed it in that semester. I skipped my first period A LOT, which was just some sculpting class. The teacher absolutely hated me for it, and tried so hard to make sure I wouldn't graduate.

One day he actually got the principal on me, so she sat down with me in her office and look over my credits and I just told her "I already have all of the credits I need."
She realized that and told the teacher and he was even more pissed, haha.

God, now that I think about it, he tried everything in his power to fail me. For our final project we had to create a package that could protect an egg from shattering in rough circumstances. My project was the only one that protected the egg in the entire class, yet he still failed me for it. x]

I hate those teachers that just have it out for students and try everything in the book to fail you. Even if your situation when you pass your final project, you still failed that class.

 

[Saryka]

Oh man, I had mad senioritis in my last year of high school. I wanted to leave before school even began. :P Not that my school was bad or anything, because it certainly wasn't, but I just really wanted to move on. And people were like "don't wish your high school life away you'll grow to miss it later yada yada yada" but honestly, not a day has gone by where I thought to myself, "man, y'know, I miss high school." It's more like, I think of high school and I'm like, "hasta la vista suckaaas!"

 

[Netto Azure]

Senioritis affects me up to now still.

I am a very bad college student. :(

Me too. There isn't a day that goes by when I think about missing high school. I enjoy college and creating my own schedule. Instead of having to go all 5 days of the week, I'm going 3.
