InnocentSerenity Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 June's coming up soon and, for quite a few of us, the end of the school year is almost here. So, I want to ask, how has this year of education been for you? Not just the final few weeks, but more like the entire year. Did you like it? Did you hate it? I'd like to hear what you'd have to say.

Support Squad Felicity Posted June 1, 2016 Support Squad Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's difficult to sum that up. I want to keep going on about it but then I keep taking myself into tangents. I'm going to uni next year so this is my last mandatory year of education. I'll just describe it in 3 words. Fast, scary and frustrating.

Ironbound Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm not nice enough to refrain from some ironic amusement. Funnily enough, my accounts course starts today and the second year of my college starts in five days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well not being an American I'm only about half way through this school you but I can answer anyway I've had quite a good year in terms of academic results and have found a lot of my subjects interesting. But in some ways I've just started to find things a bit mundane and repetitive, which isn't ideal so overall I'd say the year has been good without being great.

Cyanna Cyril Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It was a great year with plenty of great things, but also overcoming a lot of challenges. College courses are finally a challenge compared to everything leading up to this point, which made them fun but a chore at times. Socially, it was amazing until the very end, when everything went wrong. Still, I'm looking forward to the upcoming year and fixing everything that went wrong and working towards a brighter future.

Tacos Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Unfathomable amounts of stress to say the least. Being an honor's/AP student who thinks less of himself for getting a B while juggling an incredible workload and voluntarily putting it all on himself is not fun. But hey, there have been some good things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowHugs Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I still have a lot of school left this year, but I feel I have been going okay, only getting 70% and up, but meh, school just sucks as I have seen, tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampellow Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 In terms of academics they have been the usual for me, in the lower upper percentile of my class. People wise it sucked, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 All I will say is... Its been a long and twisted road, these last 12 years. But I'm glad I'll finally be out of this fucking system soon (like literally, only ten more days). I hate standardized tests, and I hate being made to memorize and regurgitate pointless facts and trivia onto a god damn scantron every spring, but those are only the tip of the ice berg; I could rant on and on about why I hate the public school systems and regulations in America, and we'd be here all damn night. Thankfully though, Seniors who do decently enough around here are like, exempt from every single exam, and most of us are at the point where we've already passed classes requiring an SOL (Standards of Learning... it's Virginia's own brand of the bullshit standardized testing that came out of NCLB) test. And luckily for me, I'm an A-B student... and that's with me fucking slacking off and procrastinating till the last minute- barely giving it any real effort or commitment at all. I'm just fucking done with it all. Aside from one class that I actually enjoyed because my teacher was determined to break the god damn mold and teach us shit that we would actually need to know for life beyond school (such as who really owns this supposed "republic" and how this country was originally supposed to be like), everyone can go fuck off for all I care.

Spineblade Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It always seems to go kinda fast, doesn't it? Well, now comes the end of my law-required education, but I intend to return for A Levels for another two years. They'll be harder than GCSEs, of course, but I hope the smaller number of subjects means I'll finally be doing what I want to be doing. The past year has been a period of uncertainty about my future, which had the side effect of me getting through it quite quickly because I was focusing on other things. So there's that.

Skeleton Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 everything was new and fun and not everybody is as disgusting in a school focused on art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well compared to The US, in Europe we've still got a month of education left. So yay, exams. Otherwise my year has been bog standard, nothing much changed during the transition from high school to university. It's still pretty much the same. Oh how I miss the tumult and upheaval that other's describe as being the standard during this transition. But alas, I have to make do. *Goes back to reading* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg12 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well... It was worse than usual for me. Shifting to a new school and all. Academically I'm somewhat satisfied though it was difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairFamily Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well considering I'm at my final year of education (university and master) I have come to the conclusion how horrible professors are at teaching. To admit you have good one(s) but that is the exception not the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Way too long. Junior years was alright but all the AP and IB testing at of the year sucked and having to start college hunting is daunting. I can't wait for summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
