What Kind of Students Were You in High School????
|
|
Hi guys,
I �m curious to know what kind of students were you in High School???
What did your teachers or fellows thought of you??
Here are some choices:
1- the smartest in class
2- class clown
3- teacher �s pet
4- absent most of the time
5- naughty and lazy
I was known as the most talented and most loved by teachers. They used to show off if I were their student. I used to participate on competitions of poetry .
I was also known as the lawyer in the classroom and secretkeeper.
I would stand in the face of those who bother my friends and defend them all the time.
What about you?????????
Hugs,
Nebal

I went to an excellent High School (actually the same one Zach Afron went to about 20 years later), where there was a lot of very good teachers with very open minds--our English department was especially good. So they taught me well early-on.
I was a very good student (mostly straight A �s), but I ran with the "alternate" crowd. Teachers liked me because I was a good student and polite, but they worried about me because of what I did outside of school--it all worked out though I guess.
My math teacher used to tell me I was wasting my brain because I didn �t do all my homework (but I always "aced" the tests). I would explain to her I always did enough of the homework to understand the subject, the rest was a waste of time. She hated it, but couldn �t give me a good argument against it--I passed the class with a B+. |

I was a good student, a bit shy though and kept a lot to myself. I had good grades but not excellent. I was thought to be very reliable and people trusted me. I had very few friends but those I had were good. I spent most of my time studiyng and reading, I was (and still am!) a bit of a bookworm. I wasn �t very popular but couldn �t care less. I was amazed when some of my old fellow students contacted me through Facebook as I thought I had gone through High school pretty unnoticed! |

I went to a State School, which was said to be the best around the area.
I was a good student, but most teachers sort of hated me cause I usually stirred things up a little, for example I organized pickets and was always the spokes person when there was trouble so I ended up in the princpal office A LOT, "fighting for our rights"
I also used to have an objection for everything and many times I was rigth :) LOL (Or so I thought)
In state schools is very difficult to get expelled if you dont have HUGE problems, (this is both for teachers and stdents) So once I called my history teacher SOB to his face, cause he gave us a Terribly difficult test and failed us all...
I was pretty nasty :) so nowadays whenI see myself reflected in one of my stds I try tobe comprehensive and usually take their side in discussions "against the insituton" when they are right

I was quite a nasty student too though the grades were nearly excellent and obtained a distinction when graduating. I started a faculty English theatre, took part in some clubs though I wasn �t too sociable. I had lots of debates in the Dean �s office �like Veronica "fighting for smb �s rights". When after 3 years I got that I would change nothing there I started to miss classes a lot(though mostly the ones I considered useless or the ones led by the most annoying teachers). But I had no problems with academic progress �cause at that moment we had mostly "Translation", "Interpreting" and "Language" classes and I read and translated at home a lot. I can �t say I was the smartest or the laziest or absent most of the time... |

Absent all the time... for some subjects I was there only to do the test. But my grades were very high, I like to study but didn �t like to attend classes. When I was in class the teachers wished I weren �t because I kept interrupting with jokes (about what s/he was explaining). I didn �t like most of teachers I had in high school and they hated me.

I used to be a very good student even though, my folder was a mess, I kept drawing and making cartoons in class, talking and getting kicked out of the classroom! I also was quite argumentative and , I used to play de devil �s advocate all the time! I �ll alaways remember when the headmistress told me "Dolabaratz! shut up! Whenever you open your mouth there �s a problem!" hahahaha But I worked hard with other classmates to make the school better (Students � centre... is there anything like that in your countries?).
Now, isn �t it ironic that we chose to be teachers?, we were all pretty difficult in spite of having good grades! Karma???

I was on my own often or close friends only with a couple of people, not really socialising a lot with the popular ones of the class. I wasn �t a trouble-maker, but with some teachers I couldn �t stop personal disconnection. Although with others I got along fine. :)
I was always in when there was something creative going on, like art projects, class newspaper etc etc. I missed a few classes, not an awful lot of them, definitely not English classes. :)
I was never called to the principal �s office, but then our principal was everyone �s favourite man, he played guitar and sang songs. My parents never got called in for anything, my mom actually got a honorary thank-you paper for bringing me up so well.
Funnily enough, I didn �t think I would ever become a teacher of anything. I ddin �t think it was a cool job, but it is as cool as you make it, innit? |
