Just wanted to say.
To those smartarse kids in classes who either talk whilst you're trying to work, try and be smart and give immature answers to teachers, and to those kids at lectures like tsfx, who think they're super cool, Firstly I'd like to express my utmost sympathy to your parents(why? dw, never expected you to know anyways), and secondly, SCREW YOU,
oh and

Bahah.

It infuriates me ! And well, the situation I was in involved about 6 kids. 2 girls with their irritating laugh, one guy who comes up with the 'cool' dialogues such as: "Cool story bru' in their summer heights high accent, 1 guy who just laughs at the others guys dialogues, the other guy who faps over the girls and other guys laugh, and then the last guy who does all of them combined.
Didn't want things to get messy :)

lol! I c where ur coming from. There will always b those stupid ppl who thing their all top shit, I guess you just gotta ignore them and block em out of your life ;)

Talking in lectures is so damn annoying. And since we're talking about people's annoying traits, why not mention the following:
- those who sit in the front row on Facebook (these sad cunts think they actually have a life when all they do is stare at their stupid news feed)
- those who ask irrelevant questions, and hence the lecturer isn't able to explain all of the slides (is it that hard to Google a damn question or ask during consultation hours?)
- those people who just laugh at every joke the lecturer makes
- people who take their shoes off and put their feet on the chair beside you
-
continued...I hate those ppl who think they'll all cool by being retards at school but you know what their the ppl that are gonna be with the shitty jobs while those who actually study and care will have nice jobs with a much higher income :P

Oh my god, there's a kid in one of my subjects who asks about 10 questions per lecture on things that I think aren't even examinable and the lecturer ends up spending the last 2 minutes getting through 6 pages of 3 slides. On top of that, the lecturer even knows his name in a class of 60 or so students.

Suck ups and teachers pets.. irritating to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We learn to deal.
I come from a school where it was impossible to focus in class because of this and due to problems at home study was also ineffective there.
I remember a time in year 7 I got frustrated and screamed out to the class I'm trying to learn and everyone went quiet.
My advice, just tune it out. It really isn't that difficult. And never, never stoop to their own level. It's very counter productive.

Yeah but there's nothing you can do when a student wastes everyone's time by asking crappy questions. I can ignore the people on Facebook but not people who force me to self study a good portion of an important topic.
In my philosophy class there's this one guy who keeps questioning the lecturer after every single slide. And 90% of the time his question is answered by the material on the next slide. I'm all for asking questions in a lecture since they can spark some great discussion. But it's the pointless, non-examinable, showing off crap that really pisses me off.

I can ignore the Facebook ..... but not people who force me to self study a good portion of an important topic.
I can't ignore the use of that word though. It's disgusting, just don't say it.
EDIT: All good.

You actually should blame the lecturer for that, not the student.
You first need to accept that people learn in different ways, especially when students are from different disciplines. I have no inhibition about tasking a ton of mathematics and physics questions in a chemistry lecture, nor should I.
The lecturer can choose to explain things during lecture time or afterwards. Some lecturers have asked me to stick around after the lecture so they can answer my questions in more detail. Some lecturers are just really bad at managing time.
Sometimes, lecturers also get bored of the coursework material. If someone asks something interesting, they will happily continue the conversation.
Blah blah. The people you need to hate on are the ones who make remarks, not the one who ask questions.

Yes but it's not like there are unimited questions a student can ask during a lecture. We have classes for general review where he can ask those sorts of things, and as you said time outside of the lecture. Usually he would finish on time, but it's because of constant questioning that he is unable to etc.

I distract people for the sole purpose of disrupting their education and messing up their VCE.
UMAD?!?!
No but seriously, everyone has to put up with this kind of crap. More or less depending what kind of school you go to and the quality of the teachers.
SOME of the teachers at my school are good enough that they put down any crap that the students do (e.g. talking garbage and shit in class, laughing like a dumb hoe etc etc) on the first day.
If a teacher doesn't set down the rules on the first day, you're fucked.

I feel really guilty because I can't really remember any class in yr12 where I actually did any substantial work (and that means more than 3 spesh/methods/chem/physics(lol) questions in a period of class).
We pretty much talked, bludged, played games on phones/computer (CS or starcraft - I preferred CS personally) and did barely any work in class.
Class activities (not joking - and most of the class did this btw and we were the strongest class too!):
Methods - listen to our teacher rant against the music dep (including a memorable plan about destroying it and replacing it with cricket nets), about football, about how all sports are crap compared to cricket, teaching us useless words like "vinculum" with the sole purpose of wasting our brain cells and rants against various staff members
Chem - watching youtube videos with the teacher, burning magnesium, playing real-life CS with pipettes and distilled water, excessively buring matches (and their boxes), doing the Age puzzle page with the teacher. We could also ask for help, she was a very good teacher in that way, great explanations that turned into constructive class discussions!
Spesh - we actually listened to this guy because he was awesome at teaching, then when his teaching was over, we just did whatever (usually the age puzzles, general chat or phone/ipod games)
English - listened to the teacher (who was pretty awesome and super nice!) and then played games on the computers on surfing youtube
Physics - the ultimate joke class. No-one payed ANY attention. CS and random shit (planking, throwing stuff at people or into the bin from various locations, piling up chairs and tables, even walking out was alright). Best troll class for the worst teacher and subject.
So yeah, feel really guilty looking at the hate in this thread :(

Oh LOL, quality of the school has NOTHING to do with it (see above) :P
I also feel kinda bad for wasting 90% of my class time in MHS and how that effected my results, but that's a different issue, school was sooooooo fun!

This, only for the whole seven years of my education. I was Hermione Granger incarnate up until Year 5 too.

Dunno why the hate for class jokers tbh. Makes class interesting imo, even though I kinda feel guilty for not doing work in 90% of my classes through my time at MHS (as aforementioned), I wouldn't trade it for solid work any day! :D

So, outside of class time was your studying productive? (considering your atar...)

I wasn't actually joking btw... That was seriously our class routine for every class in yr12.

I'll admit that I fluked my physics SS (deserved ~25, and I know that), but the way MHS works is via competition (imo), so that's the easiest motivator to work at home :D So to directly answer your question, yes, I did work at home pretty hard (especially in English and spesh - probably spent 50% english, 30% spesh, 10% methods, 10% chem and 0% physics at home).
edit: Having said this, I would NOT recommend the way I (and my entire class pretty much) operated. It probably wouldn't work with 99% of teachers (especially our phsycis antics oh god) in 99% of schools, so don't just go and be stupid! We just could because we had fairly good teachers and just liked learning by ourselves and using our teachers as a "resource" rather than a "proper teacher" (except spesh). Not to disrespect them (they enjoyed classes too tbh) - although we did openly disrespect the physics teacher - but because that's how we liked to learn :)
edit2: talking in lectures isn't cool though, that's not on. :P (hypocritical, but it's actually just annoying, uni is a more mature environment though)
edit3: 6.1k posts :D

Nice ad for MHS there...

Oh LOL, quality of the school has NOTHING to do with it (see above) :P

F*** man, you had an awesome Year 12. It must have been like a year-long comedy show for you and the rest of your class; I'm so jealous!
I had the same Year 12 Methods teacher as you, and yeah, I can attest to his off-topic ranting (such as the bit where he goes on about how he's the second-best circle-drawer in the school). Not to mention real-life CS with pipettes and distilled water—what on earth did your class do in Chem? :o I'm currently doing a Chem subject, and not once did we ever get close to mucking around and squirting each other like you did. Ah well, that's uni I guess...not a lot of opportunities to role-play and be silly :-\
Downvote me if you will, but I'll talk about my own Year 12 experience:
Methods - same as pi
English - same as pi, but without YouTube (ever)
Psych - it was mainly listening to the teacher go through a bunch of powerpoint slides, with the occasional video. There were one or two people who'd frequently disrupt the class. Even worse, they were far from funny—they were just flat-out being jerks :(
Physics - THE WORST. Nine times out of ten, the teacher would needlessly hold us back for five minutes ("DON'T PACK UP!"). On many occasions he would deride our academic abilities, saying that we're "bloody hopeless" and all that sort of nasty stuff. Made me feel so terrible. When he did try to teach, no-one would listen. Of course, some people would be caught talking—that, unfortunately, was the least depressing part of Physics...
French - Not particularly fun. In most lessons, we were given some piece to read and discuss.
So yeah. Quite sorely lacking in the YouTube department.
Oh, and that elaborate plan to replace the music dep with a bunch of cricket nets...I'm going to put that in my fanfic (which is actually about a certain teacher at MHS—no further details!). Thanks! :D
Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience
