It's that time of year again...
Well, here we go again, school's starting up again and summer is coming to a close.
I've modified my binder to show my tastes.
What's the rest of the young Instructables community (and Kiteman) doing to get ready for school?

It's from the last BQ contest. I've won two patches, an honorable mention sticker package, a BQ bumper sticker, and a shirt from Discover Magazine.
Homework. And lots of it o_O I go back tomorrow, new suit et all.

Nah it's a public school, but in the UK most public schools have uniform. The 6th form here has no strict uniform, just a formal dress code.
Hey dude what subjects are you doing ? Im doing Geography, Design Tech, Economics, Physics
When I was in the 6th form, the rule was; dress as though you work in a bank.
The year after I left, they allowed denim.
The year after that they allowed leather...

Which ever the one before the one before University is the one i'm in, the year above is also called sixth form.
Yeah, our rule is pretty much the first one, with a few more restrictions.

LoL... That's what your avatar is!! :O I have never looked closley at it. I always thought it was an Egyptian head dress type thing with gold on it... That was funny.... Now my sides hurt..;)
Haha! my comment was aimed at all the school attendees - i see your stuck in education then? so you enjoy it?
I usually enjoy it - Ofsted and what-not are stressful, and it's particularly busy for me now, Since I just got promoted to (acting) head of year. Third day of the year, and I have suspended my first student, and I have phoned more parents in the last three days than in the last year as a mere class tutor.
The suspended child swore at a teacher, but the others were less serious.
Not really - not all the calls were for bad reasons, and the parents I called appreciated being kept in the loop.
Well, if I'm honest, it's more;

Caitlin just decorated her writer's notebook/journal with some ibles stuff and pictures. Now she will taunt me with "You are not smarter than a 5th grader."

Today was my third day. I just finished my homework. They tell us the average home work time is 2 hours, but I ended up taking 5 hours for homework. I guess that is what I get for taking AP classes.

I am a junior. I am taking AP English and Language and AP U.S. History. We also have this thing called "phases" where 5 is AP or IB, 4 is honors, and 3 is academic. So I take either phase 5 or phase 4 classes.

I don't know if y'all have a credit system like we do here, but they've changed things for us so that we need so many credits, it's only possible to take AP classes in your senior year or at a community college. I still don't know how I'm going to make the jump from Gifted Math 3 to AP Calculus.
There are lots of calculus and pre-calc CDs you can work on at home, so you'll be ahead of the game, plus many resources online.

Trying not to get overwhelmed by all the work we didn't have in middle school. I've been in school for nearly two weeks. I tried to get organized this year. I bought 7 binders. It didn't work out, though. I just stuff papers in one binder.

That's an early mistake, I actually consolidated from three inders to two, and now i just use one big one. that doesn't mean it's not organized, but it sure beats lugging around a bunch of them.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I usually sort my binders according to my locker breaks: binder 1 contains AP Euro and Algebra II, binder 2 is Spanish II, Religion, and Chemistry, binder 3 is Journalism and English II. Nice and Easy.

Do you go to a private school? I don't think they teach religion in Public ones.
I learned that lesson, and now have two binders for all my classes. There's a tab for each class. There's one binder for french, and one for everything else.
I start my course in tech on monday, after so many changes to the grand plan I'm so glad to know I've got something and am going somewhere with it... My I.D. card has me in making a ridiculous face, eyebrow raised...
Don't you hate those kind of pictures? My friends have taken some pictures of me where I look so weird. Luckily I got them to delete (most of) them.
I have an instructables sticker on my waterbottle :D But that's about it because I still haven't gotten/found all the stuff I need for school.
