Talking in classes

[yellowsone31]

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

LOL its soo funny when people act like retards... makes my day to see others making a fool of themselves haha

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)



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!

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 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. (hypocritical, but it's actually just annoying, uni is a more mature environment though)


edit3: 6.1k posts

Nice ad for MHS there...

Haha, I think that was just my class I've heard that other classes were somewhat constructive

its all good bro, just expressing my emotions at the time through memes.

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?  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!

hell yeah... my psych class is exactly like that. no rules, do whatever you feel like and deal with the consequence of doing so haha
