homework
 

Yeah, I know you guy's arent in high-school anymore, but I've been so pissed lately cause Im in this IB thing (Dad signed me up) and for the past three weeks I've done homework from 5 'till 11. I'm soooooooooooo fucking sleepy, drives me nuts, I even get massive amounts of homework over the weekend. I mean seriously, only a freshman and Im getting the same homework as a regular highschool senior would end up with.

I dunno, Im just ranting, but you guys can be like my Dear Abby's and give me ideas on what to say to my dad so I can get out of this program cause its driving me nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuts. I've still got three chapters of Biology to read, then notes to take on that, then vocab, then I gotta do spanish homework, and I've still got a poem to write for english. I mean, jeeeeesus christ, Im only taking a break right now cause I've got a massive headache.

Funny thing is, I've got all A's, which makes me fabulous.

But yeah, that s about it, I just want ed to say that.

hake:

If you have all A's, stick with it, that's money on an application. If you start struggling in IB, drop it, sacrifice the weighted B's for A's in regular classes. That's just my advice, it seems to me that colleges only look at IB if you do really, really well in it.

Besides, Senior year is easy, just worry about junior year.

Well, what I'm really wondering, do any of you guys do AP?

I am in AP Statistics.
dont ask me anything about it because I dont even know what chapter we are on.

highschool seniors get 0 work.

just fight it out. Once you move through the years, you'll learn how to do things more efficiently.

Freshman year I had a lot of work as well. But if yo uget off to a good start, the next 3 years will be a piece of cake.

stat is fun imo.

I took AP Music theory, AP European History, and AP AMerican History. I was never into the AP Calc BC, Physics, or Chem stuff.

wow i never have hw, get in all done 45 min study hall. happy:

I hate you

*Note to lasaggy: I'm gonna try getting into DSA over GW, cause IB drives me nucking futs man, I mean, jesus, I can't stand it. lol, it probably won't happen, but I'm still going for it, as soon as I think of something to convince my dad w/ . I'll say it's the only "Excellent" rated school in Denver or whatever. But dont you have to be a total thespian, or do they have writing, you know? Cause my english teacher worships me.

Yeah, maybe. Do they have AP, you know?

Sucks if I get in there and not be able to go to East, but lol honestly, I dont think you guys care anymore.

ROFL i never got HW as a senior, and if i did i finihsed it in study hall class or didnt do it

Yeah, I guess I just complain a lot.... I don't have study hall, though.

*** Lasaasasgsasasas: Got into GW, but they wont let me go 'till next year. And honestly, I dont want to go anymore (Well, I would if I were given choice between where Im at and there) if I can get into DSA, which is still geeky, but doesnt have IB.

Stay in it. It's not gonna kill you.

Idk man, if you want to challenge yourself do it. I really wouldnt do it for college because if I could go back id take regents classes and not take any AP courses. In the end I really believe that taking honors classes and AP courses had little to no bearing on my college admission. I guess it depends on what college you want to go to though...

As a Freshman; Get your work done, learn to pace yourself and get used to the highschool style of things. Also relax you're in highschool!
As a sophmore; Relax a little more, take some harder classes, Maybe have some Standardised testing(at least out here we did). And relax
As a junior; Live it up, Its your last year of really hard work. You are almost a senior. Take SAT's and all that shit and relax
As a Senior; You are expected to slack. Every teacher I had senior year said we would and everyone did. It just happens. Also enjoy those free blocks you have. Continue to get your work done and get into college.
You are only a freshman, unless you have some serious aspirations in life why are you worrying about college so early? Im not exactly a great role model but I didnt worry about college until around december of my Senior year. Then I looked at one school, loved it and I wish I never graduate here. I love this place. Im not saying dont look, but dont stress college yet.
Yes homework sucks. But trust me 6 hours of homework is NOTHING. Staying up until 11 is NOTHING compared to some college work. Ive worked 12 hours straight on just one project last semester 9pm-9am just to meet the deadline. Im sure your homework is tiring, but its highschool and the absolute worst that could happen to you is you get lower grades and teachers ask you if anythign is wrong. When you get to college if you fuck up in a class, congrats you just blew a few grand for an F. IF you fail too many classes goodbye your out on your ass.
Take my advice and dont over stress in highschool. I saw too many people tear themselves apart because of their work. Remember its not the assignment thats important, Its the things you learn doing the assignment that are imporant.

i think the junior year in highschool is the hardest for everyone. senior was the easiest, even though i had 7 classes.

imwithstupid:

... or, you could smoke weed all day.

ya I don't even know why your dad signed you up for that shit, you're just gonna be a worthless piece of shit when you grow up anyways.

I make more than all of my friends who went to 4 year colleges. I never even took a PSAT. You pay 20+ grand for a peice of paper. Relax, drop the advanced shit and coast through high school with the easiest A's you can imagine.

I didnt do shit, literally, in high school and i had a's and b's. I never, not for one semeser had a full 6 classes. You know what high school is really trying to teach you? How to work the system and find loop holes.

yea but you get paid for doing hard ass labor. there are people who make more than you and sit behind a desk directing you

Elaborate and I will give you money.

Yep, although I'm a senior, it was the same story for junior year as well.

Freshman year I had no frees so i was forced to do work at home.

what do you do?

Quit school and become a priest.

I never did homework in highschool unless it meant marks.

And only Grade 12 mattered for me for university.

lol, sorry, but thats kinda ironic. You're really LIVING THE LYFE Nyck, you know? You have a great jop as an office cronie, a splendid home in the PARADISE thats Massachusetts, and not only that, you spend all your free time watching stupid fucking videos all day long while your ass melts over its chair. Man, you're one helluva guy.

Yah, I dunno, I'm switching schools next year, and I'll still be the in the IB thing, and they have like 10X more classes to choose from, unlike where I'm at now which isnt even remotely close to my neighborhood, is so poor for art we're making sculptures out of printer paper, and has nothing but mexicans.

Nyck lives in Michigan.

lol, whatever

while you annoy everyone every day with stupid fucking posts, take pictures of yourself wearing tinfoil teeth and chains and live life every day with a nose that can be viewed with google earth.

I barely got HW in 9th grade, got a bunch in 10th, and more in 11th. speaking of homework, i have to make up 6 days of work tonight for US history and physics!! yay

You enjoy that desk, meanwhile i can pick up my portfolio and transfer to construction projects around the country or world. Differant priorities i guess.

Whats not to understand? High school is pointless except teaching you how to read people so you can manipulate them. I guess if you take i at face value then sure its just to "learn" from books. Considering most teachers are horrible at there jobs and the information your gaining doesnt apply anywhere outside of those walls; why would you think that your advancing yourself in the outside world?

Public education is a disservice to the work force.

Without this thread, the internet would have imploded.

Thank you, Duffy.

I was reading this thread and stopped right here at "Unknown Snipers'" words. He hit the nail on the head. Listen to him and forgo any other advice given thus far.

loct !!

Well, thanks a lot bud-buds, I guess that kinda helped. It was the kinda the advice i thought I would end up w/, but thats still pretty cool.

I do.

I did AP Biology last year, and I'm in AP Calculus, AP Environmental Science, AP English, and AP Psychology. The majority of it is easy if you do the work. English is my downfall...I'll be lucky to get a 3 on the exam. I got a 4 on my AP Bio exam. Best Class Ever.

Kill yourself if you have too much homework
