RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Trust me, I think i've had worse teachers. Some of mine failed like 20 per class. You'd think if the teacher is that bad they'd get fired, but no, thanks to the teachers union the only way to get rid of a bad teacher is to promote them, and that only messes the place up even more.

That's strange. In my area, if a teacher has too many students failed they get like watched/investigated and can get fired.

Does your teacher do that curve grading system, himank? If so that sucks.
When was/is your first day anyway? Maybe you'll get a surprise and one of your teachers will make the subject bearable/fun!

My posts are usually lengthy, and I can't help it much... Sorry.

Re: First day of Hell

Consider yourself lucky, OP. Last year I had the following classes all in one single semester: Physics(Honors), Chemistry(Honors), Biology(Honors), AP French, English (Honors).

Please, take my advice: Don't do that to yourself. Don't ever overload your semester like I did. You know all that "work hard now, get rewards later" stuff that teachers tell you? It's all bullshit.

Yeah, I kinda though that would be the normal way to do this. But, as it turns out, over here we have a thing called the teachers' union. It can take fucking years to fire a bad teacher, so most places don't even try.
