Well went to my last class today... kind of a interesting feeling, so surreal. Was a great class because I had some awesome classmates, and we learned a lot about each other because it was a Public Speaking class, so we were informing, and persuading each other about different things. My final presentation I gave, which was today, was on trapping. Essentially I got up there, talked about conservation, showed them some fur(muskrat & beaver), talked about traps and put my hand in one, and basically learned them some knowledge.(yes I know this is grammatically wrong, after all I did go to school smile )

Anyways I actually really liked school, except for the work, but this class was especially great because we were able to share ideas outside of the things we are expected to be taught(Math, Science, Writing, and History/Government)

So when does everyone get done, and will you miss school? Done just for the school year or graduating, feel free to answer. I know I am definitely glad to be done, but it is such a bizarre feeling to know I am done, and I will almost miss it over the course of the next few months/years.

I am a junior thia year. Ready to be done. I like working and making money. I have never really hated school but when the government and liberals started trying to take over i really got tired of it. There is always some new dumb law or something. Recently our school started confiscating our phones. It makes em mad because i leave mine in my truck and they all think i have it. Then i empty my pockets and prove them wrong. I am really tired of school

I'm ready for school to be over too. I took the last of the PSSA's this year I will ever have to take. (PA's standardized tests we had to take every year) Once my final exams and math keystone exam are over, it will practically be summertime. I only have have 21 days left to go, but hey who's counting. grin Once school lets out I can get started on my summertime projects.

I am home schooled. Mom says I will be done in about 2 weeks. I like school, I like the challenge of learning. I am still a few years away from graduating. After I graduate from 'high school,' I have 4 years of college and probably 3 additional years of law school waiting for me.

That is crazy. I am glad my school district is a little more lax on that stuff, they leave it up to the teachers(you can have them all you want during passing period), and most of the teachers either encourage the use during class(if your like googling stuff and such), or they don't care what you do after you have listened to them talk, or taken whatever test you were supposed to that day.

From my experience the way the school system is right now it is incredible the amount of time that is wasted. If there was not as much time wasted we could probably knock off two or three hours of the school day, which is one reason why me and many of my friend dislike it so much. I if you want to waste your time fine, but don't force me to waste mine.

I like the way college is set up much better, you go to a class once or twice a week, cover the materials for that day, do your assignments on your own time, which if your a quick learner on some subjects, but slow on others, you still are progressing faster because the teacher sets the pace of the class, not the slowest learning student.

Time wasted is a big thing that erks me. I hate showing up to do nothing, but you cant leave. It makes me so mad because I run my own mowing business and this time of the year I have lots of work to do. It is annoying to be there doing nothing when I could be gettin my work done so I can turkey hunt. Your right. We could take 3-4 hours off of school if we didnt waste so much time. Take a 15 min lunch break and move on when you get your work done. Thats how it should be. Anymore, school is getting so crazy stupid its not even funny. Its almost like people do not have any common sense anymore

People would rather waist time doing nothing and do whatever they have to later. Rather than to what they have to do then do what they want later.

Online college classes are awesome. Work at your own pace. I usually finish all of my work in one day for the week. Don't stop after high school. Keep going, even if it's just a general ed degree.

I'm thinking about doing college classes during my last two years of highschool. That way I have a year's worth of college done when I graduate.

I took college classes and went to what we called votech. I graduated with a computer science certificate and some general ed college stuff too. I went to community college for my associates, online for my bachelor's, and now working on my master's. I was never one to like school, but now I enjoy the challenge and it isn't boring like high school.

Enjoy the schooling. I get the feeling of wanting it to be over and moving on with life. But don't forget to take time to enjoy it. I graduated high school 4 year ago. I now live over 1,000 miles from my paraents, with a wife, baby, and my fair share of bills. Life happens quickly.
