I figure that since school is starting soon, we need to know your feelings toward it. Yet another useless poll from me :) . Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 45 user(s) have voted.

I really disliked k-12, but now that I'm in college I love going to school. I get to take the classes I want, and chose what time of day I go to school. My high school didn't offer very many science classes, and you get to work in a lab in college. I'm there because I want to be, so it doesn't feel forced on me the way high school did. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Hate going back again to school. But bow I did have my first day of school I'm getting in the mood. I finally got to pick things I like, and not what I HAVE to do. Like geography. Gosh, I hate that. Now I don't have to do that anymore. I like my school, but some more vacation is always welcome (vacation in which I can hopefully finish my scenario that's now come to a stop with school coming). -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

The farther I progress in school, the more I like it. I didn't much like the earlier grades (3, 4, 5) but the second half of high school was okay, and college is great. It didn't get really good until year 2, but now it's going pretty well. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Most of my school years were rather pointless. High school was only good as a means of socialization, but nothing else. It was until I started college last week that things got better. Like someone mentioned already, you choose your times and the classes. The only downside is paying for your education now (of course, parents payed their part with taxes and all...unless they didn't) is that a lot of young adults have to take out student loans with financial aid if you lack the budget to pay the tuition. I, on the other hand, do not worry with such financial obligations as I have scholarships to back me up for at least 3 years. (hopefully an internship will pay the rest) College is a heck of a lot better than K-12, and I like every minute of it. I also chose to go to college as well. Nobody forced me into it. Of course, I do know some people that use college as a way to party all night long and waste their parents' money for it... Oh, I wonder on what's the average age that people go to college. Is it 18 nowadays? I'm only 17 and I just started at USC (Southern Cali., not South Carolina) a week ago...

Who can actually answer yes to that question? We should answer No even if we do like it; no one should ever know the truth. Now K-8 I didn't really like. It was fairly anoying, and I had to wear an ugly yellow uniform. High School was awsome; I really liked it. The classes were fairly easy, and I had my best friends with me at all times. Nevertheless, as everyone else said College is the best. You get to make your own schedule with the classes you want, and you don't feel that force that tells you that you have to be there. You are there because you want to. But nothing and I say nothing beats vacation. Therefore, no matter how much I like college, I still prefer being on vacation. Edit: Yay to me and my last week of vacation. :cool: [ Thursday, August 25, 2005 16:59: Message edited by: Marlenny ] Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

Isn't 12th grade senior year? I loved most of K-12. I'd say 7th grade was my hardest year since I had very few friends in the same classes as me. If ever I have the chance, I hope to go back to school. For nursing or accounting or... I don't really care what, just to feel productive again. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

They may be licensed, but that doesn't mean that public school teachers are professionals. I taught more QBASIC (programming language) than I learned in my computer class in high school. But, like it has been previously stated, college is wayyyy better. The chicken strips in the cafeteria are made of REAL chicken, and not that pressed crap Chicken McNuggets are made of. We get real shrimp too! quote:It varies from college to college, and sometimes from class to class.

Perhaps the best part about college is freedom. In high school, students are typically stuck in a classroom with no power to simply walk out, unless they had a good reason for it. In college, you can walk out of class and no one would care. As long as you somehow get and learn the material required for class, you can miss most of the days of a class and just show up on test days and ace everything if you were good enough. Of course, only some college classes would let you do that. There are other classes that require "homework", "attendance", or "class participation". I like the general format of a lot of college classes, just being graded on tests and nothing else. It's more simplistic. Edit: I just follow the format of taking 2 classes on MWF and another 2 classes on TR. It's relatively balanced and all are in the morning to mid afternoon. Edit 2: Do many of you college members attend lecture room style classrooms (meaning around 100+ students in a room) or the traditional classrooms? (meaning around 10-25 students) Just curious. I also realize that I edit more than I post...sad...
