COMMUNITY : FORUMS : LIFE


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.
Firebert010 (author) in reply to whatsisfaceSep 3, 2008. 5:02 PM
New suit?

Private school?

I used to go to one, uniforms suck =[
whatsisface in reply to Firebert010Sep 4, 2008. 10:21 AM
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.
=SMART= in reply to whatsisfaceSep 7, 2008. 3:48 PM
Hey dude what subjects are you doing ? Im doing Geography, Design Tech, Economics, Physics
whatsisface in reply to =SMART=Sep 8, 2008. 9:12 AM
Maths, Chemistry, Electronics and Physics.
=SMART= in reply to whatsisfaceSep 8, 2008. 9:14 AM
Cool ! Havent heard of electronics before
Kiteman in reply to whatsisfaceSep 4, 2008. 1:51 PM
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...
=SMART= in reply to KitemanSep 7, 2008. 3:46 PM
Banks have really gone downhill...
Lithium Rain in reply to KitemanSep 5, 2008. 3:28 PM
What grade would the 6th form be equal to?
whatsisface in reply to Lithium RainSep 5, 2008. 3:32 PM
Which ever the one before the one before University is the one i'm in, the year above is also called sixth form.
whatsisface in reply to whatsisfaceSep 5, 2008. 3:47 PM
I just googled, I think it's 11th grade over there.
whatsisface in reply to KitemanSep 4, 2008. 1:54 PM
Yeah, our rule is pretty much the first one, with a few more restrictions.

I'll post pics of my gear later; right now Mom's taking me to get my very own saxophone... The one in my avatar belongs to the school I attended last year. Hopefuly I can get a black one :D
Lftndbt in reply to Labot2001Sep 7, 2008. 5:33 AM

What is this 'school' you all talk about?
Kiteman in reply to gmjhoweSep 4, 2008. 10:22 AM
It's a place some of us get paid to go to...
gmjhowe in reply to KitemanSep 4, 2008. 11:52 PM
Haha! my comment was aimed at all the school attendees - i see your stuck in education then? so you enjoy it?
Kiteman in reply to gmjhoweSep 5, 2008. 12:03 PM
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.
noahh in reply to KitemanSep 5, 2008. 3:37 PM
What did they do to earn such punishments?
Kiteman in reply to noahhSep 5, 2008. 3:49 PM
The suspended child swore at a teacher, but the others were less serious.
noahh in reply to KitemanSep 5, 2008. 5:03 PM
i see....
Lithium Rain in reply to KitemanSep 5, 2008. 3:24 PM
:( Don't you just hate that aspect of the job?
Kiteman in reply to Lithium RainSep 5, 2008. 3:21 PM
Not really - not all the calls were for bad reasons, and the parents I called appreciated being kept in the loop.
Goodhart in reply to KitemanSep 5, 2008. 2:13 PM
Oooo, student slayer LOL

Kiteman in reply to gmjhoweSep 5, 2008. 3:11 PM
Well, if I'm honest, it's more;

Kiteman - Slight Denter of Just the One World
=SMART= in reply to KitemanSep 7, 2008. 3:45 PM
lol You're so modest :D
Kiteman in reply to GoodhartSep 5, 2008. 2:12 PM
Alas, the local authorities frown on that kind of thing
caitlinsdad in reply to KitemanSep 4, 2008. 10:31 AM
It's a place the rest of us pay to go to...
noahh says: Sep 5, 2008. 3:35 PM
Just finished my floppy disk messenger bag. It is rainbow.
caitlinsdad says: Sep 3, 2008. 5:59 PM
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."

Aw, tell her it looks awesome! :)

I've been in school for more than a month...
Brennn10 says: Sep 3, 2008. 7:14 PM
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.
Bran in reply to Brennn10Sep 4, 2008. 3:53 AM
Which AP classes are you taking? Are you a senior?
Brennn10 in reply to BranSep 4, 2008. 1:13 PM
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.
Bran in reply to Brennn10Sep 4, 2008. 1:29 PM
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.
Lithium Rain in reply to BranSep 5, 2008. 3:26 PM
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.
LinuxH4x0r says: Sep 3, 2008. 6:04 PM
Ugh, I've been back since the 27th
Weissensteinburg in reply to LinuxH4x0rSep 3, 2008. 6:39 PM
The 18th here.
Labot2001 in reply to WeissensteinburgSep 4, 2008. 1:28 PM
11th! PWN'D! :D
LinuxH4x0r in reply to Labot2001Sep 4, 2008. 3:53 PM
no, you got pwned by the man!
Labot2001 in reply to LinuxH4x0rSep 5, 2008. 1:39 PM
Alas, your words are true...

Retreats to back of room and puts on dunce cap...
LinuxH4x0r in reply to WeissensteinburgSep 3, 2008. 7:17 PM
dang!
Camisado says: Sep 4, 2008. 3:38 PM
You're lucky. In Indonesia, school starts at July.
Bran says: Sep 3, 2008. 5:57 PM
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.
Firebert010 (author) in reply to BranSep 4, 2008. 10:48 AM
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.
Labot2001 in reply to Firebert010Sep 4, 2008. 1:27 PM
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.
Firebert010 (author) in reply to Labot2001Sep 4, 2008. 3:32 PM
Do you go to a private school? I don't think they teach religion in Public ones.
Weissensteinburg in reply to BranSep 3, 2008. 6:40 PM
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.
killerjackalope says: Sep 3, 2008. 6:30 PM
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...
Sunbanks in reply to killerjackalopeSep 3, 2008. 6:40 PM
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.
Sunbanks says: Sep 3, 2008. 6:02 PM
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.
