Well as most kids start school, I started terribly. First, I had an AP European History test, which I got a C- on. I mean I only studied for four hours. Then in math, my teacher doesn't recognize that I'm a sophomore in Honors Trig so subtracting 75 from 100 doesn't need to be written down on paper. Failed the quiz because of that. Then in Spanish 3, I got critiqued over my folding of paper ability:rant2:. I mean honestly who cares. Then in Honors speech and debate, we have a terrible rule that is :bs:. If you swear, then you have to go outside for 30 seconds. Well first, I swear over my AP Euro test and my teacher hears me. Whoops. I go outside, come back in and while I'm working, I get blamed for swearing again although I didn't and then I decided (wrongly) to take advantage of the situation. I say a few things I shouldn't and got sent out for 5 minutes (said "s" word and "d" word). Well I just didn't go back for more like 20 minutes because I had to cool off.

And that's my story. :D Wonderful 3rd day of school. Should be doing homework now instead of this btw :naughty:.
 
Pal....pal...pal.... (shakes head sadly.) C'mon, man, you're in Honors speech and you can't come up with more creative swearing than "s" and "d"? Clearly you are in need of a copy of the Dictionary of Slang and Euphemism, a tome guaranteed to allow you to say the rudest things imaginable to which the listener will be utterly unable to object. English is a rich and flexible language and most people don't make nearly enough use of its resources. :)

Oh, and different instructors simply have different preferences in matters of paper-folding. Part of the purpose of school--some say the major if not the only purpose--is to get you accustomed to blindly obeying rules of the most meaningless sort, simply because they are Rules and What The Boss Says To Do. Welcome to quasi-adulthood.

"Show your work" is a common rule in math too, no matter how mundane the particular element. It's intended to demonstrate that you worked the whole problem through and didn't just crib the answer off of google or something.

The history exam....last time I went back to school, after a long hiatus, I was in a history class in a field where I know a great deal. First exam I got back.... C-. I was so shocked, horrified and depressed I never afterwards got anything less than an A in either that class or four others from the same instructor. It can be done. :)
 
lol, i remeber once i swore in class, my teacher gave me a detention and made me say sorry to the class. All in all: School Suxz!
 
Haha I actually just realized Speech and Debate. "S" and "D". Haha. I hope that AP Euro gets better. I'm a 4.0 student but that test really gave me a reality check. I'm thinking that when I run out of bathroom passes in speech, I'll just pull some swear words and I'm good to go.
 
School is like a reality check - one finds out where he/she stands among the many other students.
 
It will get better in college, I swear!! (no pun intended!!)
 
You seem intelligent enough to figure out your own euphemisms. Here are a couple of examples to get you on the right track:

*** up = Vertically copulated

Suxz = Inhales

I start freshman in a week and a half, and my team is all the potheads, special ed kids and me. Apparently my teachers didn't like being corrected last year (I basically taught my whole history class).
 
School: A test of wills that demonstrates your ability to conform, follow rules, adapt appropriately to situations and learn something.

Even rebels realize there are rules that they must adhere to. Fold your paper the way your teacher wants you to and at least sound half educated by avoiding swear words.
 
I wish my students were like you.

I work in intervention/independent study, if folding paper and the occasional "s" and "d" words were our only problems things would be super.

Anyway, good luck.
