I've never encountered one that was "fun" in any sense of the word. Every single one I've been forced to do was horrifically boring, and simply useless. I've never really the material any better than what the books taught me, so I don't get that strange justification.

And I really don't know why people think they're much more fun than simple bookwork. Fuck that, I'd rather read the books and ace the tests than be forced by the school system to do these bullshit projects. They're the reason my grade average is always so low, mainly because I quite often flat-out don't do them intentionally. Worthless fucking school system. I don't fit your bullshit "average student" model, you useless tax-money leeching fucks.

And the less we talk about presentations, the better.

Fickst Schul und fickst diese Schulprojekte.

    What's with the gratuitous german?

    "They're the reason my grade average is always so low, mainly because I quite often flat-out don't do them intentionally."

    ...That's a smart plan, right there. 
  • Ich weigere mich, Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache mit Ihnen teilen. Stop es zu wissen Chagen. Es ist ärgerlich.

    Because Chagen likes adding random bits in German for some reason.

    Little does he know, gratuitous use of foreign languages just makes you look like a 馬鹿.

  • And you know, I'm learning German in High School right now. It helps keep my German fresh and let me practice it.

    Also, I don't know German, but how does saying "Fuck school" help keep your German fresh.
  • Any kind of usage of a foreign language reinforces it--including hearing it. Why do you think language immersion is so important to SLA and that people recommend staying in a foreign country for a while while learning its language?

    ^^^ Hey, I actually understood that! :D

    Though I only learned that "Alemania" means "German" yesterday.
  • Alemania sounds like the drunker, piratier version of Edmania.

    Also, you kind of have to do projects.  Of course you're not going to enjoy every single thing that they make you do in school, and you're not always going to see the value in it, but that doesn't mean you just say "this is dumb and stupid and i don't wanna do it".

    In AP Physics last year I didn't do 3 out of the 4 projects we had.  Because I just sort of didn't feel like it.  For some reason, my grades were terrible that year...

    But that doesn't count because that's senior year of high school, not freshman year.

    So close to being a senior, it hurts.

    Though I am wondering if I shouldn't have signed up for all those AP classes (I'm set to take AP Statistics, AP Calculus, AP World History, AP Literature, and AP Physics. Plus Spanish V. Now there's a stupid decision). I was hoping to academically flog myself to force myself to do the work, but now I'm starting to think I might end up needing to drop a course or two to preserve my sanity. It's supposed to be the easy year, or so I've heard.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I took four AP classes junior year (AP English, AP Computer Science, AP Chemistry, AP US History.

    It was a lot of work.

    It was also the year that my health problems started.  I'm not sure if these two things are related.
  • Junior year I took AP US History and AP English Language&Composition, since those were the only ones that were offered.

    Senior year I took AP Calculus, AP English Literature&Composition, AP Physics, and AP Studio Art.  I was going to take AP Psychology too, but it wouldn't fit in my schedule.

    It actually wasn't bad though.  I think AP classes get less work than regular classes, plus it meant that I ended up starting college with over a semester worth of credits, so unless I screw up somewhere I should end up graduating in less than 4 years (or, well, less than 3 years from now).

    I took three AP classes this Year: Biology, Algebra, and English. I'm not doing so good in the latter.


    It was too much work, so I switched it around next year: I'm still taking three AP classes still, but they're Geometry (I'm always good at math, no problems there), Chemistry (I've heard it's mostly number-crunching), and German (I'm damn good in this class. This year it's been the only class of mine that I've consistently had an A in).


    "I think AP classes get less work than regular classes"


    lol NO


    My AP classes are defined by being nothing but massive slogs of work that far outstrips my normal ones. They are just insane, they assign you like a week's worth of work each day.

    ^^^ It's not so much that I'm worried I'll fail or anything. If I try hard enough, work is not too difficult. It's more like I might sap my free time to the point where only dropping courses could allow me to recover.

    ^^ I wasn't informed that I had to ask to sign up for AP US History, so I was recommended to Honors instead, and since it's a two-year course, this year I was also ineligible. I'm taking AP Language and Composition this year, though. Ironically enough, it's my only AP class, but it's also the only class this year where I've gotten over 100 on an assignment.

    And I don't know if AP Psychology is offered here. I should check.

    ^ I thought they were pre-AP. As in, Honors.

    Also, if you're the type of person who gets stressed at all, the month right before your 6 AP tests are going to be hell.

    Not that I would know, because I missed the whole last quarter of my junior year, so I couldn't take them.

    BUT I'VE HEARD THINGS.

    Geometry is kind of different from math you've been doing before.  It's when you start having to write proofs and such.  Still, it's not hard.

    Chemistry was loleasy.  It's pretty much just algebra.  Except easier than that.  Though, AP Chemistry might be a bit different.  But I kind of doubt it.

    German probably sucks because language classes are terrible.

    "Also, if you're the type of person who gets stressed at all, the month right before your 6 AP tests are going to be hell."

    Good thing I'm not. It kinda helps that I stopped taking my mom seriously when it comes to her opinion on my academics (I'm only marginally less lazy than average, or roughly around there, and last quarter held the first C I've ever received, and I'm in all Honors classes with 1 AP. And I'm 21st in the class, out of 209 (which also bugs me because I'm one spot out of the top twenty and the top 10 percent)).

    "Chemistry was loleasy.  It's pretty much just algebra."

    Good to know, since my school is making me take it next year anyway. I took Physics so I could avoid it. And my Physics class is a joke. It's full of seniors who don't take the teacher seriously anymore and talk incessantly when he's trying to teach. It doesn't help that he's not a good teacher.

    ". . . language classes are terrible."

    Amen to that.
  • "German probably sucks because language classes are terrible."


    Nah, my German class is pretty good. Mainly because the teacher is a native German herself and she knows how to explain grammar very well. I never had any trouble in that class, my teacher is great. And since she's a native German herself (She was born right at the end of WWII--her family was in the American occupied zone of Germany, so she had to learn English in school), I can always figure out how to pronounce words correctly just from hearing her say them.

    That's not the problem I have with language classes though.

    I don't like memorizing lots of things, which is what you do in language classes and history classes.

    Math is nice because you don't have a lot of things to memorize, and if you forget something on a test, a lot of the time you can figure it out yourself.  You have to memorize a few more formulas in science classes, but even then it's not bad, plus they're usually somewhat intuitive.  And English classes usually just require that you be able to read, and then be capable of thought.  And art classes (in high school) mostly just require that you show up to class.
  • "I don't like memorizing lots of things, which is what you do in language classes and history classes."


    I see what you mean-I hate memorizing things in History (it was never my best subject).


    But maybe I am naturally tuned to languages. I pick them up strangely faster than most other people--even complicated parts simply need a good explination or two and I remember it pretty well. Given how all languages have a well-built skeleton of grammar that doesn't change, I view language as simply a complex and odd form of math. I just remember grammar and vocabulary really well for some reason.
