...and that's why I'm no longer going for my teaching degree. LOL.

I think that maybe some of this stuff was just to mess with you guys - since you weren't official high schoolers. We didn't have a program like that, but they'd let middle schoolers come up for a day and take a tour, etc. Upper classmen were known for being weirder than usual on those days, to freak the younger kids out.

Anyway... I'm not sure where to go with this, on a debate level. I guess the question is what could be done about this level of craziness? My first thought is more strict supervision, but I really don't think that'd accomplish much. If a teenager really wants to do something, it's going to happen. Your teachers sounded very casual - and while I think it's cool, not everyone would share my opinion.

That pretty much summed up a lot of my school :) and i loved it. I love being able to be in a school where i have freedom and the teachers aren't boring. Where people can actually have a sense of humour and gossip, i'd never be able to stand an uptight school.

A lot there was things like attendance, i had horrible attendance and i'd join other classes because you could, it's just how high school is, one big experience.

(and i live in Australia so this isn't just U.S schools :))

darksarcasm it realy could not be the high schoolers just messing wiht us because we were all there all the time always watching and more than 60% of this stuff was us influenced by high schoolers. as far as debate goes we could argue about the merits of a program like this

Trust me, if you did this in Ireland, you'd have your head ripped off. We are allowed a certain level of freedom, which kind of grows as you progress through school.
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita DarkSarcasm said…
But Mac, even freshmen (not just visiting middle schoolers) were tormented year-round. Even once they realized that things like elevator passes weren't real, the upper classmen were always coming up with stuff to scare the younger kids. Not that I'd ever participated in a thing like that... *cough* =P

I think it's good that a program like this exists - it shows you how much you can get away with. Haha. ;)

I also live in Australia. My school is like massively strict and you get expelled for the most stupidest things. But its strict on certain rules and stuff that have to be followed, but some of the rules we have freedom on. I cant image ever going to a school like that. Why and How did it get that bad???
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita Snerkie said…
...why do i feel i must go to a lot of shit schools if i can relate to a lot of this??

Although mac i would say a lot of that was you guys just being treated in a different way because you are younger, older kids will often mess with the younger guys a lot for laughs. Like #44 and #45 are clearly just messing with you.

Like with the "flashing", a school i went to in year 9 had a sports day...the boys on my team at the last event for it decided to moon everyone including the teachers :\ Also the blackjack...just a game, we played it during class.

To me a lot of this i think is possibly exaggerated because you were in a different atmosphere that you were not used to, i'd say a lot of it would be jokes that you'd have to be around these people more to understand.

we are well aware that most of the things having to do with high schoolers were for our benift (or something like that) made up to jokes but that kind of is the point. that we do these and say these things to mess with eachother.
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita dazl said…
Mac, it's hard to explain. The rules in Irish schools do tend to be strict, and most of the best teachers will rip into you if you disturb the teaching of the class. Not to say we didn't mess with the younger years, or go on the hop(cut class), but the cardinal rule among the older half of school(16+), was that if you didn't like it, shut up and let the others learn.

It also stems from our exams system. We don't have SAT's, we have to pass a Leaving Certificate in 7 subjects to get into college, so technically, as we went into 5th year, we had started our course for the Leaving, so we had to work.

I've tried to explain it, but you have to experience it to understand, really.
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita Snerkie said…
Dazl, the school system is sort of like that in Australia too. From year 10/11 you can only get so many D's or fails and you have to do a certain amount of subjects to get enough points to get your year 12 certificate (and also do a certain amount of a type of lesson (so there were Hess R and Hess G (or something) and you could get into university with the exam points, etc)

Mac, i don't think that was the point of your post. It seemed more to "show" that high school isn't a good place and people aren't well behaved but they were just messing with you. The people wouldn't have done half of those things if they didn't have someone to give attention to, which was you guys. If you weren't around a lot of that list more than likely wouldn't have happened and i think a lot is just taken out of context because of your age and not being around these people for so long.
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita mac said…
snerkie please listen. we were around them the whole time i would say a substantial precent did not know we were younger (they were pretty dumb). if you thought that i meant to show that high school was bad than you need to read the post again. i LOVE this stuff it was a GOOD thing. Also you dont seem to understand that most of the things that are on the list were done by us i have the most entries of anyone (although i never counted my self that was the word on the street)
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita Snerkie said…
i don't think something you did then makes sense to be in the list since it's not showing anything about an average high school/high schooler. And as much as you may have seen them as "dumb" i'd say a lot were messing with you majorly.
zaidi ya mwaka mmoja uliopita cowgirlfromhell said…
We'd be slaughtered in Ireland. The Leaving Certs are allowed to go mental and do anything they want on their last day of school though, this year 5 guys did a full monty on a roof and everyone was watching, even the teachers, cheering them on. It's not like we're prisoners, we can do stuff, it depends on the teacher.

I'm considering moving to the US now, it sounds fun =]

That pretty much sounds like my middle shcool. I went to a school in alabama once, (I live in St.Louis) and ppl were having sex in the classroom while the teacher was out.

Not much of that happens in my high school in Scotland! I'm going into my finale year - YAY! and while they have gotten easier (only very slightly) there is no way a teacher would put up with half that crap.

I mean okay some teachers are total pushovers but still - no fucking way man! American schools sound - no offence - but seriously fucked up!

I'm not surprised by this list. It's funny though.

Once in 9th grade English, a girl crawled out the window. We were on the second story.

Same class, during good weather, was sent to graveyard behind the school for ispiration. Instead, students brought back with them pieces of headstones and the occasional dog turd.
