...which reminds me, I should be reading the latter class's assigned reading instead of surfing around on PC. XD
This year I'm doing robotics. Not quite presentable media, but fun nonetheless.
You're pretty damn lucky there, Charicific. Most schools just... don't have good teachers, lol. Or have good ones which have no people skills at all and just try to control you rather than get on with you. At my school it's a bit different I guess since boarding staff tend to get on better with the kids than non-boarding ones, but there's still the whole element of "I am a teacher so I am better than you". Hate it lol.
...although I'd hate for a teacher to insult me when I got something wrong. They can get in serious trouble for that lol.
Edit: during the last break between lessons, a kid tried to beat another kid up. While he was at it, someone else was filming him. The kid who was doing the, um, beating up went and CALLED THE POLICE. Discuss.
Okay, bare with what I post because I am not from the US and the system in my country, Singapore, might be different from yours. I am also quite curious about the Education System in your countries.
I just want to know what people in the US or the UK around my age are learning now in Maths (Mathematics). I actually just started learning Logarithms and I am Secondary 3. (Grade 9, I guess?)
Okay, as for teachers talk, I really love my school's teachers, they are really great as friends, most of them play computer games as well so we get a long really well. (not surprised as all, teachers have a life too)
And about the beating up.... WTF?! You're saying the one who was BEATING UP called the police? And the situation is on his favor? How so, and care to tell us how it ended up O_O
I was introduced to logarithms in tenth grade (age 15/16), and I was actually a year ahead of the "average" students in my school.
I'm actually curious to learn what other countries label their academic levels as well. I know that the U.S. is the only country where there's no distinction between the words "college" and "university" other than the physical size of the institution itself. In other countries, college is equivalent to American high school from what I hear.
Anyways, in the U.S., it's something like this:
Kindergarten - age 5/6
first grade - age 6/7
second grade - age 7/8
third grade - age 8/9
fourth grade - age 9/10
fifth grade - age 10/11
sixth grade - age 11/12
seventh grade - age 12/13
eighth grade - age 13/14
ninth grade - age 14/15
tenth grade - age 15/16
eleventh grade - age 16/17
twelfth grade - age 17/18
Higher education - age 18/whenever you complete it.
LOL, physics, they make me cry at times, hopefully you will ace the test despite not knowing anything or if you get a bad grade (hopefully not) your mom will sign the paper and pretend nothing had happened.I have a Physics test on Tuesday and I have no idea on what to do. c:
Hopefully mom will sign that sheet and end this. >_>
Rah students!
I'm a university student, in my last (3rd) year of studying Zoology :3
It sounds like I play with fluffy animals all day, I don't ;_;. Instead I have hell loads of coursework to do, some of which is in for next week and I still have a few thousand words to write! Hurrah.

Probably better to tell her how you're doing in school though lol. Don't you think it's something she'd want to know, assuming she cares?
