Coursework and a lack of understanding and respect

[s_angel222]

OK. Well, I spent last week doing nothing but CW, infact the only day I had off was Saturday. I came home from school, had a sandwich and went straight onto the computer at about 4.30 to start cw, I didn't leave it until after ten most nights and after 11 one night in particular. THEN i have to face teachers who don't seem to understand or believe that when you say I WAS DOING CW ALL NIGHT that you actually were DOING CW ALL NIGHT. despite the fact that i've always been a good student, conscientous, perhaps not fantastic at every subject but who is ANYWAY, its not like me to hand in work late so I was extremely annoyed when on bringing a note about cw to a teacher of a subject I happen to adore I was fairly badly recieved. Yes, I didn't have this cw but I had my geog in? WHAT DID SHE WANT ME TO DO, DO HALF OFF ALL MY CW AND BRING IN NOTES TO EVERYBODY? (ok im not sure how well i explained that bit but anyway, ON TO MY NEXT SECTION OF MY LITTLE RANT)

I DESPISE SCIENCE, i want to do something in literature yet I'm forced into this chemistry, physics and bio crap grrrrrrr. As if that wasn't bad enough, our chemistry teacher is absolutley terrifying. She's the most intimidating person I've ever met under 5ft! Me and my friend just realised that we both actually felt sick going to her class we were so nervous about it. THEN when this teacher was talking about cw, she said how she "understood" how we have loads of cw, BUT then she went on to say how, we had to, ya no, sacrifice watching that football match or whatever....
scuuseme??? DID SHE JUST SAY THAT>>>

I HAVEN'T WATCHED TELEVISION IN TWO WEEKS!!!!! AJHOIASFAIHFPIASHFPIAHFPIASHFPIASHPIF

ANOTHER THING she wanted to know "why i hadn't prepared very well for her test" YA WANNA NO WHY, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR AHEAD YOU SET YOUR TEST I WILL STILL HAVE SO MUCH CW THAT I CAN BARELY FIND TIME TO TAKE A FUCKING BATH!!!!!!!

And another thing, how come people can get out of a whole days school to go to some football match yet we couldn't get out for ten minutes to do a drama gcse practical!!? I mean a practical which contributes to our final gcse mark. ALL YEAR these footballers and camogie players are mentioned for winning matches yet why arn't the drama students given any credit for the incredible amount of work they have to put in! WEll, thats about all i've got for now...feels good to just...say itlol

WAIT on emore thing, we are forced into doing RE for gcse which is incredibly unfair for one I'm not even that religious, and my aunt who lectures at queens university tells me how they completely overlook it, it is a pointless subject!

What are your thoughts?

[s_angel222]

lol thanx, cw -coursework ya know essays and everything you do that adds to your final grade. I dunno what exams you do but here we do GCSE's and we have to do coursework LOADS OF IT, it takes up like a certain percentage of our exam mark!

[SoulRiser]

[Rebelnerd]

yeah, i guess a person can get used to anything and it will become boring sooner or later.

ps. you don't have to write a title for all your posts, just the ones where you start a new topic.

[s_angel222]

lol i know but the wee title space looks so empty! lol

[Doc Johnson]

Don't want it to be lonely, now, do we?

[s_angel222]

lol of course not! Actually come to think of it its probably that goddamn school thats got me into this, i got to write a note on a scrap of paper and feel the need to write the date and a title lol, honestly it took me half the summer to get out of that habit! Well forunately I've given myself a night off of coursework tonight I truely COULD NOT BE ASSED!

I agree. I have spent most of the last month doing homework and coursework. I just don't care! I wish the teachers could actually see the amount of time spent doing this work.
I hate school and most of what it stands for. My parents can't afford homeschooling.
Lifes a bitch

Down with coursework!

For about two years on and off I was able to spend all of my time on schoolwork and still not complete it. Then I read stuff that made me stop caring.

Even though I realized how stupid school was, I couldn't stop doing schoolwork because I was afraid (literally) of getting bad grades and uncomfortable with the idea of getting bad grades. But as I read stuff that explained why why it was so messed-up, this fear lessened.

So just decide that you'll read something one day instead of doing coursework. Then you'll begin to read more and do less coursework. You'll probably get lower grades, but you'll care less. And eventually you'll probably start to like science, just not the classes.

Oh so very true. My parents can't afford homeschooling either. I agree with down with coursework, even though I've never done it before. If that's what I have to do in high school...
