What was your favorite grade in school (college does not count for this)? Why was that year your fav?

TheLoneOne · 09-27-2005, 01:59 PM

senior year in highschool, because I was out of class by 10:30 every morning. but other than that, it would have to be 3rd grade. won an award in school for a little story that I wrote and had a piece of art that I made put in a city-wide art show. think that was the first time I felt proud.

I loved 5th grade. I had a great teacher and although I was a smart kid I always struggled with math and she was the only teacher who took time to help me understand without making me feel like I was stupid. I went on to babysit her kids as I got older and still keep in contact with her as a friend.

Kindergarten. It was the only year that I wasn't set apart from the other students by something or another. And even that was only because they didn't know I was younger and got awards for stuff.

None of them.

I wasted 18 years of my life learning NOTHING ...

I'm with Anubis here... but if I had to pick a grade I'd say senior because by that point I was getting harassed so bad none of my teachers expected me to go to class. I ended up graduating from the local tech college, HSED instead. My classes were an average of four hours a day and I could go in either in the morning or afternoon.

For me, I went to a local state school for the Deaf for 9 years.

From 4th grade to my senior year, the school did NOTHING to challenge me. I pretty much winged my way through 4th / 5th, and middle school grades...

Then high school came... My frosh year, still not challenging... I pretty much started a downward spiral... At the end of 4 years in high school, I pretty much dropped out and am happy with that decision.

Every day, one of the teachers there would keep saying "Why don't you leave?? Stop wasting my time here!" I told her, "Actually, I'm here to waste MY time, not yours. If it's an incovenience for you, how about you quit instead."

Then I went off to college in Washington DC and I found it to be lacking the challenges I desire, but at the same time, I'm going like "*laughs*, what a lame college" And this was a college designed for deaf students. I dropped out after 2 years. At this point, I have yet to get the G.E.D. ... I got the GED like 10 months ago and I got like 750 out of a possible 800. Sometimes I regret waiting this long, but it's done, so nothing I can do. I wish that I dropped out the minute I turned 16 then I would've gone and gotten my GED then be somewhere else instead of sitting here in Spokane... *shrugs* Life!!

Since I was about 12 years old, I have always felt that public school would be the BEST place for Deaf kids, children, students to get the BEST education possible, NOT at a state school for the Deaf. In my opinion, the schools for the Deaf all over the USA are teaching simple science, math, english,a nd so on so their students can graduate and the administration of the schools can show the governor the success rate of deaf students.

I am a strong advocate of shutting down State Schools for the Deaf and sending them (deaf children) off to public schools to get the best education possible. Because every time I have met a Deaf person, and when I see their english and math skills. First thing that comes into my mind is "Ah, this person went to a school for the Deaf" because it is very obvious in their English skills, or Math skills.

I was and AM happy to be blessed with a strong understanding of the English language and have the ability to communicate using the proper words, sentence structure, and so on...

And right now, I am attending a regular college here in Spokane, WA with interpreters, notetakers and I find that they are challenging me. That is WHAT I like. I don't like schools that "dumbs" down their teachings.

Anyhow... That's enough bitching from me

I'm off to spend some money...

School to me is completely Useless....

I believe all the basics should be taught till you reach High School. From there it should be all real world teaching.

When you get out of school your ready for "more schooling" And even that doesn't prepare you for the real world.
