School is starting for me. :( I am now a freshman at Dowling High School. I went to orientation yesterday and it sounds really fun, but i'm really scared that I won't be able to do Adv. Geometry. When do you guys start school?
-
this is little off topic, but im curious, what is Adv(anced) Geometry about ?
-
well I go back to school in 2 weeks and can you please tell me what freshman actually means?
-
Dunno, but I REALLY don't wanna find out...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *Fingernail trail effects left in walls.*EDIT:
Dunno what Freshman actually means, but I think it might be somewhere near 'scum of the earth'. It's the first year of high school, second is Sophomore, third is Junior, fourth is Senior.

so if you are in the first year of high school how old does that make you?
-
School's started in Germany, too, or at least where I live...
Now I've got 8 hours per day :( ...that hurts... - Alhexx
-
HA! I'm starting school on the 6th!
-
my winter break just over , school already start !!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jeez. You lot all go back early. Even when I was still at school I wouldn't be going back for another 2 weeks.
Of course now I'm at uni I don't go back for another month, and even then there's no work or lectures for the first fortnight :D
-
WOW! What country are you in? Holland or something? I go back 2 college 2 weeks today :)
-
England ... same as you!
D'you go to a 6th form college, or an actual 18+ higher ed college? The sixth forms here all go back in around 2 weeks or a bit more ... I didn't think ANY universities started lectures before the middle (usually the end) of September.
-
Ehm...AFAIK, the country is called 'Great Britain', right?
As for the unis in germany, I don't know anything for sure.
But the school thing: Germany is divided into 16 'states' (United States of Germany :D ). Every state have their own vacation, but of course, many of them start them at the same time. The state where I live starts its summer vacation very early, Berlin, AFAIK 2 weeks later then NRW (that's where I live). So there are a lot of ppl in germany who still have vacation, but I'm not one of these lucky kids...oh, and I'm not a kid...

Great Britain ... United Kingdom ... England ... I'm a resident of all of them! Haven't got a clue what I'm officially supposed to put down as my country of residence. My nationality is British, but that's not quite the same thing.
'Sides, on the subject of education, Scotland at least has a slightly different system, so it was worth making the point I lived in England rather than somewhere else in the UK.
-
Wow. High school rules! I'm 14, almost 15. I love it. I want more!
-
Technically fice we have only two choices, because,technically speaking(i love that word), we are the United Kingdom Of Great Briton and Northern Ireland which basically means we should either be from England or the UK.
BTW on a recent trip to the US I annoyed the immigration official by writing My nationality As British, my Home country as England and on the other side as from the UK. it is fun being totaly interchangable :)
-
Actually, my passport lists my nationality as British National, so we do have an official third option if we want it :D
-
skool for me starts tuesday
-

Well I'm into college in a couple of weeks I hope. Whoops! Heres my GCSE EXAM RESULTS!
English and Anglish Lit: C
Maths: D
IT: D
Media Studies: E
Science and RE: U
Shit.
-
What kind of a grade is U?
-
We have'nt really done much of anything yet. Basically, the differance between Advanced classes and normal classes at our school is that they teach us more advenced stuff. However, in some cases, as in Adv. Biology, they only TEST us at a much higher level. For example, they wont ask us a question that they taught with, they expect us to apply the knowledge in a tougher situation.
-
Damn. There you all are, someplace or another in Europe, and here I am, on the far west side of the USA... I somehow feel like there's a 12 hour gap inbetween me and the rest of this forum.
As for school, normal HS begins in about a week or two. I'm going to be in my 7th or 8th week of my summer term of school, come Tuesday... And to top it all off, my entire family's out of work, meaning that the 1 class I cut down to will dissapear come the 11th week, less I get a job or one of the project's we are working on really pays off.
Oh well... At the very least, I'm learning Maya, and I've just become a fan of Ranma 1/2. That's quite a funny story! I think I'll go make a panda in Maya now...

Sir Canealot: U!? Lol, what were you doing taking RE for GCSE's anyway? My sis got A's B's and one or two C's. :D
SaiNt: I think U's like one of the shittest grades you can get, :S.
-
Stands for 'unclassified'.
Then again, it WAS RE so does it matter?
-
Some schools(like mine) make you do RE, my sis just got her results back, 4A*,6A & C im hoping to do as well next year(it aint gonna happen, i know :wink:)
-
My country is the opposite. School holiday starts at the 7th of September. Then, I'll brush up for my exams and downloading full albums. AAAGH!! I FAILED MY ARTS AND MORAL!!~! My results at the trial exam is ~really~ bad.
-
Quistions...quistions...
I think grade U is like a D but worse. In both Science and RE I didnt do a single peice of corse work and achally in one RE paper I wrote out "I am a fish" about 100 times in the back of the paper(Red Dwarf) where I was meant to write some eassays.
And the reason I took RE at GCSE is becuse my shool is shit(one of the worst in brition definately) and it is a catholic(or christian. I cant remember) school and they force RE and one Technoligy subject on you at GCSE.
GCSE's are easy. Just as long as you get good marks on the friken corse work! I got mostly Cs and a B or two on my english corse work(maybe a D to) and its the only thing I got a C in. All other lessons I didnt put much effort into the corse work(except for Media Studies...well some of it).
So any one taking GCSEs now do the corse work as best as you can. If you can get it done to the best of you abiliity and perhaps get Bs and As on it there is a much higher chance of you getting good grades over all.
And if you happen to go to a school called St.Georges in westminister I would just kill your self now a save you the misery.
Bah. I talk to much.
-
U means ungradeable, which means it is so bad they dont give grades that low
it goes:
A*
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
U
I think U means U did sh*t
-
Religious Education. Our teacher, Mrs. Dautremont, is sooooo incredibly funny. But then again, so are all of our teachers. This has to be the best school under the sun! I LOVE IT!
-
Our teachers are not funny and Ill just leave it at that
-
I thought U mean Un-Classified? I'm sure when my mate got his chemistry result the other day it said U and in the Key the U meant Un-Classified.
My RE teacher at Skool was also my Form Tutor and he was sacked for having a "relationship" with one of the students. It was quite the scandal! The irony of it all being that he was an RE teacher and he specialised in Moral Issues... and he was givin in to the pupils!!!

I'm a freshman too. school started on wednesday. Its pretty easy. I'm in the advanced classes for every subject so its REALLY easy because I have a weighted GPA. I'm in Algebra 2 and its damned easy. I finish all my work in class. Damn, I don't remember all of my homework.
-
I start on Tuesday. I fear the day.

F - You are a failure you suck Thats the grading scale..

When i failed my GCSE's (all Ds and Es) i had to resit them all. Luckily I passed and started my A-Levels. Got bored of them so quit after the first 2 moths or so and took a year out. Now I'm doing a B-TEC in computer studies (programming and sh*t) and then hopefully going to university! My point is just because you mess your GCSEs up, it does not mean you will fail in life....
