r/school

Good morning everyone, I’ve been working at a (American) middle school for the past couple of weeks, and something surprised me. Most of the students around 90% seem to be my height or even taller. I’m a young adult and around 5'19", so I always considered myself fairly average in height, but these middle schoolers are tall for 13-15 year olds.

Are the students where you live this tall too?”

So last day of school I was going to the bathroom and some kid threw some wet paper wads at me when I was in the stall and ran out so I chased him down and confronted him about it, then he laughed in my face and we ended up fighting. I’m in 8th grade so is there any way they could hold me back for that or just a suspension when I get back. They haven’t said anything to me or my family so I was just wondering.

I was late for class from leaving the gym changing rooms i was 5 minutes late but the modern history teacher gave a lecture and then told me to stand outside the door, and 3 points on my behaviour record which now stands on 6 points.

Will i be in further trouble if the headmaster finds out about this. Or should I be ok wkth my detention on Wednesday

The gym is about 2 blocks away from the main school which is a long walk back to main school building

I’m a freshman and now I’m really beginning to understand the levels to this high school stuff, kids in the same district as me downtown were taking pre calculus in 8th and I was told I was the best in my school and they didn’t offer anything pass 9th grade, I live in a poor place and it’s kinda ghetto (atl). I understand how funding works but I’m tryna transfer to a better school and they wont let me I literally am being held back by the system bro. I’ve shoved my way into pre calc my sophomore year but I feel like hope is lost if I don’t fast track better than how I am now. Ga Tech aimed

I am in my second week of my exchange in belgium and this week has been a disaste.

Can anyone advise me on how I can get back on track with my experience of the exchange programme here the school is great.

So i dont have many friends and im kind of embarassed for being Alone in school so what should i do in there Alone?

I study at an high school that accepts students based on middle school GPA, so the school environment isn’t really great. My classroom environment is like that too. I’m 16(f), and compared to most of my classmates, my grades and exam scores are much better. For example, out of 100, I get around 95 net on practice exams, they get around 40. That’s the kind of environment I’m in. And before you think I’m egoistical about it, no. I’m not. I swear I don’t care.

Because of this, some people behind my back say things like, “She’s antisocial,” “Her mental health is messed up from studying too much,” and similar things. (But I do have friends, actually lots of. I don’t know why do they say that.) They send follow requests to my social media accounts from fake accounts and keep making fun of me. I guess it’s some kind of bullying, not sure

There’s also a group of girls who sit near the window, and when I’m doing speaking exams, they whisper to each other and giggle, a lot.

I’ve always been polite to them. When they asked for homework or notes, I helped them. And when I thought I had been rude, I even apologized. But they made fun of that too.

I do have my own friends, but I still wonder: when I haven’t really done anything wrong, why do they act like this?

Sorry this got a little long.

I honestly don’t know what I should do. I don’t even know whether I should care about it or ignore it.

If you were in my place, what kind of attitude would you have?

In class today we were reading the last part of A Raisin in the sun where each class member played a part. I was Walter and during one of his final lines he says the N-word. I asked my teacher what to do and she said that it was ok to say it as it was important for the scene and that I was not saying it the author and character were. She also told me how the historical context was important too. Anyway I said the line in the scene and everything was fine we went on with class and finished the play all is well… Until I get home and my sister refuses to talk to me. We’ve always had a rocky relationship but this was especially bad. She didn’t talk about me or to me at all until after dinner when she told my parents that she hates me because I am racist. I was confused I don’t like the word and saying it once for class doesn’t mean I believe in what it stands for. Regardless of what me or parents said she refused to budge saying that she was ashamed of me and that I was not really her brother. I’m just really sad and don’t know what to say to her to explain why I said it and explain that I’m not racist.

I want to use the Minecraft ending poem but I’m stuck on which line to use

So these are my scores which is not even okay,I admit.i struggled whole my 11 and 12 ,after even trying. My percentage was with best 5 were 76.2 and other than that I scored 89.8 in my 10th board, majorly 15% ka downfall 😭.Firstly I don't know if I should be happy about this ​or not, I was completely out of the box when I opened my result. As I have done terribly in PCM but 100 in painting .

So there's prize distribution in our school tomorrow yes tomorrow and am scared to go there to face the teachers which I fully used to be out of their sight for the whole year. I don't feel like going there even though my heart wreaks apart in the name of school. I used to have breakdown thinking that I'm no longer gonna be here this is my last year here,I used to cry so badly from back in September when the date sheets were out,just cuz my last ever day is 12th of March. The place somewhere became my escape all those coners I loved ever step of the campus everything about there was my home.I still miss the place and I still miss me being over there.

Idk what to do at this situation.

Graduation season is always chaotic, but nothing topped what happened the year I graduated in the late 2010s. That was the year the school decided to start using tickets because random strangers kept showing up to graduation.

Our local football stadium was always packed for graduation, so the school introduced tickets to control the crowd. Each graduate would get four tickets.

Simple enough — until it wasn’t.

A few days before graduation, seniors gathered to pick up tickets before our field trip. Everything seemed normal at first.

Then the line stopped moving.

Minutes turned into nearly two hours while teachers and administrators whispered and panicked. Eventually, word spread through the crowd:

One girl was demanding 72 tickets.

The entire system basically collapsed on the spot.

By the next day, the school gave up completely and announced that tickets were no longer required after all.

The plan lasted less than 24 hours.

Years later, I heard they finally figured out a ticket system that works. But my graduating class?

Yeah… we broke it.

Ok so basically its my second time taking grade ten math and I am struggling so much still

Right now I have a 40 percent and its just so upsetting because it used to be 48 and then I got a zero on an assignment that I WASNT EVEN THERE FOR and my teacher will not let me do it again which bumped my grade down to 42 and then I did bad on a test which brought my grade down 2%

But we have the measurement unit left which is worth 9% of my grade and then the final which is 30%

So how much can the measurement raise my grade to a 50? Like how close can I get to a fifty before my final
