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.

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.

Teachers favouring people

hi again. Now if you havent read my other thread (the war for me is over) read it now

So mrs pomroy was evil, but she still hated those three of us. Part of our evidence was my grades under her and under a teacher i liked

so this is it.

Mrs pomroy:

English: Writing:B
reading:C
listeningBiggrin
Spelling:B
Maths:Number:B
Measurment:B
Chance and data:C
SPace:B
now here with mrs hornstra my year 6 teacher
English: Writing:A
reading:B
Listening:B
Spelling:A
MAths: Number:A
Measurment:A
Chance and data:A
Space:A

Im not going to include other marks because i cant remember them off the top of my head


But take a look at the difference. My sacked teacher obviously graded on how much she liked us and the other teacher graded on skill and enthusiasm.

so I stole your good luck stick charm ey? Why dont you just sue me??????

Maybe she just graded differently? I don't know, there could be a lot of reasons for why your grades got worse, it doesn't have to be, because she hated you.

Most likely you just started sucking. Because its very hard for people to realize that they suck.

And how do you grade there? Because here we just enter grades into the computer for assignment and then we get our grade average.

I don't think it's because she disliked you. Every teacher marks differently. I have some teachers who mark easily, and others who will take away lots of marks for a few spelling mistakes. This can be awfully annoying, because while one teacher may give you a good grade on an assignment, another teacher may give you a lower mark even if it's the same assignment. They all mark differently.

Selective marking is illegal. Use that to your advantage.

I thought grades is based on the judgment of teachers, right? Therefore intellectual honesty places a role in grades. If teachers use grudges, prejudgement, personal hates interfere in grading, then that is just being incompetent and unprofessional in teaching. At the end, don't let a piece of paper prove how good you are.
