I remember a kid at my school that took great delight in being "tough" and threatening teachers and pupils alike.
Last I heard, he was a cabbage from home-made drugs and spends his days shambling around the town trying to remember his name.
Sometimes, just sometimes, karma comes around and makes me smile.
It's not ALL kids that prove why films like Tomb Raider get to number 1, but it's the glee and pride shown in saying "Yeah I was an animal" that will ensure we never run out of morons.
I studied at school.
I have 11 GCSE at grade B and above and 2 A Levels grade C and above.
Last night I played in my band and the singer from Starsailor was in the audience.
Last night a toehead from school watched "DIY Gardening Emergency" and blamed immigrants for the fact his life had failed and he has achieved nothing.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm in a foul mood and haven't ranted for ages, so this thread is as good as any to start today.
Thank you for listening.
*booooooommmmm* - 300ish kids on the field dived to the floor, and we got a weeks detention.
Not that care, I got an A and an A* for my English GCSEs anyway...they simply got Fs. Heh.
And we've all been a tad boorish at school, but I've read about teachers being locked in cupboards, being swore at, ignored and abused by classfulls of pupils and I don't really wonder anymore why gangs of kids stand about outside shops at night.
They're too thick to realise it's cold.
Supply teachers get abuse and kids run rampant over them.
That's part of being at school, but if you're wasting that educational possibility, don't start feeling sorry for yourself when you find yourself with zero qualifications and the intelligence level of shrink-wrapped food.
*shakes head*
Sometimes you just have one of those Heston moments of waking up and seeing the chimp on a horse.
When I realised I wasn't going to find a class of kids like me, I gave up on the idea.
This thread tells me I was right.
Just keep in mind that occasionally you do get truly rubbish teachers who don't always even understand what they're teaching. I'm not saying screaming at them it what should be done, but you do still get teachers that get off on some sort of power rush. Most of them seem to teach PE.
Wasting lessons fighting?
No wonder the general grammar of this forum is so bad if some people spend their time at school horsing around and trying to see how many brain-cells they can kill.
Rasta summed it up, enjoy your life at school and think it's fantastic to attack teachers and ignore lessons.
Nobody is perfect, someone asked "i dont know why teachers think they are better than us"
It's because they're older, know more, get paid the same as milkmen for doing a damned hard job and have dedicated their lives to trying to teach people.
And they're treated like pariahs by the pupils, the government and society in general.
Beckham, borderline mongol that he is, earns more in a week than a teacher will make in 5 years and that is not right.
So enjoy being at school, love the fact you scream and swear at teachers and abuse them daily, don't pay any attention to something called knowledge.
Oh, and when we meet in later life, make sure my fries are still hot or I'll have you sacked.
