COMMUNITY : FORUMS : LIFE

i havent got any real-world object from instructables

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

Maths, Chemistry, Electronics and Physics.

Cool ! Havent heard of electronics before

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...

Banks have really gone downhill...

What grade would the 6th form be equal to?

Which ever the one before the one before University is the one i'm in, the year above is also called sixth form.

I just googled, I think it's 11th grade over there.

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..;)

O_o

It's a place some of us get paid to go to...

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.

What did they do to earn such punishments?

The suspended child swore at a teacher, but the others were less serious.

i see....

:( Don't you just hate that aspect of the job?

Not really - not all the calls were for bad reasons, and the parents I called appreciated being kept in the loop.

Oooo, student slayer LOL

kiteman - Destroyer of worlds

Well, if I'm honest, it's more;

Kiteman - Slight Denter of Just the One World

lol You're so modest :D

Alas, the local authorities frown on that kind of thing

It's a place the rest of us pay to go to...

Mini-Concorde!

Aw, tell her it looks awesome! :)

Which AP classes are you taking? Are you a senior?

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.

The 18th here.

11th! PWN'D! :D

no, you got pwned by the man!

Alas, your words are true...

_{Retreats to back of room and puts on dunce cap...}

dang!

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.

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.

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.
