Summer School

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule]

Vomit tubs are on your left.

Who's all taking classes over the summer?

I'm taking gym with all the other untalented athletes. I wanted to get a preview for music theory, but it looks like that isn't going to be possible.

[[sage]]

I'm not. I had to do summer school once though. I took some class, i think it was critical thinking or some stupid crap like that.

[c_jks]

Taking Economics to get it out of the way.

My mom once sent me to summer school for no good reason. I also had alot of people keep handing me Brochures because they assume that just because I'm in the Autism spectrum that I have the intellectual capabilities of Jessica Simpson.

Yo, doing English and Chemistry at the University of Delaware.

I know how you feel... My teacher failed me without telling anyone. My parents are going to send me to a special school for children with problems. -_-()

My parents always tried to get me in with a speech therapist. NOBODY much age speaks well. Blame it on IM and crap.

And what's even more annoying for those Brochures I've been hnaded is that my G.P.A is just a 3.294. And we all know that nothing says "Numbnuts" like a 3.294 GPA.

Hey, I know some people who would KILL to get grades that high.

*ponders* In grade school, I went to this summer program for "gifted" kids. It was pretty fun, from what I remember. And that's mainly playing the Oregon Trail game in fifth or sixth grade and learning Japanese in first.

But no, I've never had to take real summer school. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I got a lousy C+ in English and a B- in math because I really suck at math. You call those high?

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule]

I have friends who don't get anything above a D. At least it seems you WORK in school. Some kids don't do their homework, don't study, and don't even TRY to make it look like they're paying attention in class. And when they don't get As, their parents complain that "the teachers don't prepare them for tests."

I took Japanese in kindergarten, first, second, and third grade. I don't remember a thing. I was a bad student.

I usually opted to sleep through classes I didn't like, and just take the summer course. You can pass without homework, and that was ideal for me.. Nobody ever accepts the fact that the kid who sleeps in class is just bored out of his mind. I could've tested out of most of highschool, had they let me.

Geez, if I did that, then I would be grounded so long that by the time I'd be allowed to play Video games instead of Math Worksheets again Sony would have the Playstation1337.

Nope, never went to summer school, and hope I never do.

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule]

^^lol

Okay, I'm taking Algebra. But get this, for math scores make the top five percent for all the Louisiana students in my grade. How is that possible?

I'm lazy. I've slept through a ton of math classes. If those learn in your sleep tapes work, then that explains it.

A friend of mine had to go to summer school exactly once, for Trig.
Normally she gets great grades, but her high school makes kids take Trig before Geometry, so lots of kids get Ds & Fs.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Hey, that's right about where my GPA is, and it's nothing to cry about. It's more than enough to get you into any honors class in most high schools.

I'll bet if they thoroughly analyzed every single student, they'd find some learning disability or another in each of us--heh, I'm suprised no one's harassed me about my daydreaming in class yet. Just don't take the judgement of a $peciali$t over your knowledge of your own capabilities.

Summer school isn't necessarily a remedial thing. Some people do it to get credits that their schedules don't allow for during the school year. I get all my Phys. Ed. credit over the summer.
