Awwwww poor PB
Well Im already fed up of school already, I want to leave but the thought makes me sick cos I just keep thinking of my exams and I have my french speaking on wednesday and Im so nervous. I also got my prom ticket today which put a smile on my face.
Bless Pb, thats one thing the class won't forget though, it will be one of those moments in which they treasure for ever.
Listening to music now chilling in the garden. I bought the cascade album. Its really good. Just been a really fat pig and eaten a mcdonalds.
I want to leave as well, although its scary that there is so litle time left. My coursework is a complete nightmare, i am spending all my life on the flipping computer.
Im glad I have all my coursework done its just the exams now
I've had an ok day. My last day before going back to school tomorrow, oh well getting back into the routine i guess...but i only have 4 more weeks left! Yay! :cheer:
I don't want to go. I've had 2 days back and I've had enough. We're supposed to be doing our oral assessments in small groups to make us comfortable, but I'm far from it. I have a student teacher in RE for 9 weeks. He's so patronising and his English is somewhat lacking. I have Maths tomorrow and I'm probably going to get exam results.
Ive had a stressful day, doing my french speaking exam, it was ok I think, I was just soooo nervous
:wall: My maths teacher is ruining my life! I'm getting lots wrong, and all he can say is that he hopes I've copied down loads from the board. You don't have the time to, and I don't get it; he's not good on explanations.
I hate it when teachers cant explain things cos it makes it so much harder for us
I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't going to affect my career plan. He just has to be very patronising whilst he's doing it, and laughs in people's faces. I think he'll do that to me tomorrow, I don't want to go to the lesson. I'm going to fail at the rate it's going, so I may as well not go to the lesson and fail. Nearly crying every maths lesson can't be normal.
Why? Whats your career plan?Well actaully maths is important to most jobs isnt it
Computer throwing a major hissy fit, or specifically one program that I need to do part of my coursework. That teacher will be getting a note instead of a section of the coursework. I don't even want to go in tomorrow, there's not 1 lesson that I want to go to.
I'm thinking accountant, so I'd need an A level in Maths at least, and you can't take one if you don't get a B. I don't think I'd risk it even if I did get a B - he's made me feel so stupid.
COuld you not take an accounting A Level instead. My friend failed her Maths GCSE and now shes training to be an accountant after doing AAT at college.
Had Maths again today. I didn't understand, so I sat there doing nothing the whole lesson, almost crying at the same time. If he came near my table, I had to write a load of rubbish to avoid him getting at me. I have homework again and I guess I won't be able to do it. I don't know what to do about it, but I'll probably fail the exam in 8 weeks.
Computer wouldn't do what it was supposed to last night, so I have to finish my media coursework over the weekend. Also got a load of other work.
We have a long term cover in Science and he's boring me stupid, everything he says comes out rude and he's treating us as if we've just started school by writing the spelling of ionisation on the board and informing us that we have to write the date, title and aim down every lesson. We never write the aim.
Can I do that as well as taking A levels at school then, but just don't take as many subjects?Quote:

Well i've had a bad day! My two friends aren't going to the prom anymore and are planning a party of their own so i was stuck in the middle and had to decide if i wanted to go to their party or go to the prom but i decided to go to the prom and i am now going in a limo with 7 other girls and i'm the only boy. My one friend said the prom would be crap, and dropped out of the limo when he promised he would go in there with me! :rolleyes: And my other friend is so snobby that he won't go in the limo because i'm sharing it with the "uncool" people of the year. He's afraid that it'll ruin his reputation and anyone who isn't that smart, he looks down on them and i'm pissed off! :angry: I think i'm gonna stop being friends with him now!
Plus, my drama teacher told our whole class we had to do two pieces of coursework, because the other coursework we did wasn't actually coursework, so now i've got to remember a practical i did over a year ago and write about it by Monday! Plus do another coursework for it! Fantastic! :rolleyes:
I would have gone mad at that drama teacher. It's only a few weeks until the year 11 study leave at my school. I hope your mate planning the party doesn't have a very good time after that, it would serve him right.
The one that won't go in the limo is ridiculous. It's a limo, it'll look cool anyway, who's going to care who goes in the limo with you? It's got to be annoying for you though, going in the limo with girls. I go to school in a taxi full of boys and that isn't very good. It's stupid of him, that's your only chance to go in a limo because you'd need a lot in there or it would be very expensive, and you can't very well find a limo for you and the mate that's still going to the prom.
Talk to him after lesson? Get your parents to talk to him? If talking to him doesn't work, go to someone more superior, as he's supposed to help you.Quote:

My parents don't care, they're just going to start caring when I start failing, which probably won't be long.
All teachers do that. You have to be able to listen and write and take it all in at the same time, its a basic skill they get you into when you get to GCSE, ready for A Levels and Further Education. So you can't blame your teacher for that, its just you probably dont realise what teachers are told to do/not to do. The lower classes go a bit slower in the lessons and dont expect you to do it as much, because really, the odds of you going onto Further Education, like degrees, is slimer. But the higher classes are expected to be able to do it, so you've just got to get used to it.Quote:

Do you raise your hand in class? If he ignores it, shout out! If he ignores you still, just be adamant, demand (kind of :p) that he helps you!Quote:

E.g Kim: Can I have some help
Teacher: *Ignore ignore ignore*
Kim: EXCUSE ME! I need help. Now unless you want me to fail my exams I suggest you help me :p
You know what I mean ;)
I got him to explain something to me the other week, and he completely humiliated me whilst he was doing it, not that I was any better afterwards. Lol Lea, I'd get sent out for being rude. He doesn't like me anyway, so that doesn't help matters. Every other lesson I'm fine, it's just that one. He's laughed in my face before and he's done the same to another boy, but I don't think the school are interested. My tutor certainly isn't as I spoke to him in one to one tutoring.
What did he do to "completly humiliate you"? How would you prefer him to teach? He sounds to me like he's just got a good personality, and not afraid to be friendly to pupils and take the **** sometimes. My politics teacher asked me if i take drugs today. That doesn't make him a bad teacher, it just means he has a strange way of teaching, lol!
He was supposed to be showing me it one to one, so instead of sitting at my desk and doing it, he does it on the interactive whiteboard, and no one else was asking for help. He had me telling him what had to be done and writing it down even if it was wrong, for the whole class to see. I can understand him asking me everything to check if I understood, but writing it down even if it was wrong and doing it without the projector paused.
He laughed at me for a wrong answer, and the other boy because he asked for extra work to get his grade up.
I didn't do Maths A levels and got a C in my GCSE's but I'm doing an Accountancy course now.Quote:

My cousin left school with hardly any GCSE's but is now a computer programmer on some stupid amount of money per year (something daft like £50k odd).
The only thing I would say to this though Kim, is that he might have thought that you were the only one who felt that could ask for help, yet other people in your class, may still have needed the help and been stuck on it, but were too embarrassed to speak to him and request the help they needed.Quote:

Sorry if it feels like I'm not being sympathetic, but to me, it seems like a personality clash and even if he does something to try and make you feel more at ease (would you have preferred him shout at you for getting the answer wrong or chuckle/laugh and then go through it with you again?) its wrong, if he ignores you, its wrong and apart from any thing else he hates you?! It seems like you don't like him, you feel that he doesn't like you, which if you probably turned round to him after class and said, Sir I feel like you are always picking on me or making me feel such and such, he would probably be horrified not realising that this was what you were feeling, and that you need to sit down and sort out with him whats going on. Thats what I'd do anyway, if your parents don't want to get involved - sort it out with him yourself, face to face, not go through your tutor etc.
This Week Has Gone By So Fast. I'm Actually Still Tired. And Now I'm Worrying About My History Exam As We Have To Learn All Of Last Year's Stuff But We Had A Diffrent Teacher And We Know nothing To Do With That Topic.:wall:
The Exam Board Or Mr Mcgee (Year Head) Have Mucked Up My Computing Exam Put Me Down As General/Credit (Highest One) Instead Of Taking General/Foundation (Lowest One) HaHa As You Can See I Am Having Dificulty In Most Of My blooming Subjects!
It Didn't Help At Tutoring On Wedensday Either! I Was Talking To Sue And Katie Went "Your Going To Fail" Which Got Me All Worked Up! I Could Of Strangled Her I Really Could!
I Failed My Second French Prelim So If I Do Bad On The Exam The School Can't Hand That One In If I Fail This Exam. I Can't Remember What I Gort In My Prelim In December But Yeah So There's My Week:p
Can't they change it, Tannie? In the exams we had, they changed the level paper one girl was sitting on the last school day before the exam.
I didn't ask for the help that time. He laughed at the boy as if to say that he didn't think he was capable of the grade that he wanted to get and he's had similar results to me, so I wouldn't risk it. He noticed I was getting upset over it, thinking it was only that topic, but it's everything, which is why I was upset.
Had a barbeque today, which was good, and got quite a bit of my work out of the way.
I sailed yesterday which was nice, it was windy but i was really chuffed with my self as we managed to keep the boat up and not capsize. Yay!
Went out for tea as we were all too tired to do anything, and thats my weekend. Done a bit of work this morning whilst watching goals on sunday, a very relaxing sunday. Going out about 2 then going to listen to the NFL final on RTE.
Yeah i spoke to my computing teacher about it and he'll try and get it change:D went shopping with my parents and brother today and never again am i going with my mum for her to get stuff for holiday she liked stuff but then decided against it and in the end ended up buying two tops and a pair of jeans and the jeans and the top is going back i got a pair of nails haha:P
Had a Quite lazy day at home cooked a quick dinner and our friends came round for abit......
I had the busiest day i have had in ages at college. so many deadlines to meet. It was unbelievable, now at leasts its done though.
Just reading revision notes tonight. nothing exciting.
Had college today.. as usual heh. Got quite a bit of work to do, so think I'll do it tonight. Something annoyed me a little today.... we had a different bus and bus driver than usual, and she was letting the people smoke on the bus, out the windows. But still.. 1, you're not meant to smoke on buses anyway, and 2. the smoking ban is in, i'm pretty sure that a bus would go against that! I know I probably sound rather petty, but as a non smoker, I found all the smoke a little annoying, as the wind was blowing it back in, and down my throat lol.. not just mine, everyones. There were a few that were annoyed.
I'm not surprised, Lea. Even though you're old enough to smoke, it's still a bus that's going to a place of education. How does the bus driver know that people in their GCSE years aren't going there, because people from my school go to college for a certain amount of time a week. It's your choice whether to smoke or not, and you shouldn't have to tolerate passive smoking. It's annoying and harmful.
A year 11 has started on me now. They'll be sure to do nothing about that...
I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder, which has been annoying me all day!! Painkillers aren't really helping, but oh well, lol. Its self-inflicted, so i can't complain too much!
I thought I was bad bending my nail back on accident. I've got a black line instead of a purple one, and I can hardly write.
Its my understanding that smoking on public transport has been banned for a long time which would make this illegal hun which would include the school transport. I think a complaint should be in order as the driver AND the coach firm could be prosecuted for this.Quote:
