School was literally the most time I have ever wasted in my life
How was school like in your country?
yes only scienxe is worth teaching,sad u were not smart enough to understand them
Fucked a lot of girls on the bathroom
They kept repeating the same shit for years, and then suddenly started teaching a billion new topics in 11th and 12th grade
at least be grateful you didn't attend the shithole that is pic related
also regarding geography, Zig Forums unironically tough me more about geography than school ever did. That being said Zig Forums is shit when it comes to history
Also Chemistry, biology, physics and math are a complete waste of time if you're not getting into STEM. Absolute garbage of no use
>>Geography: Doesn't exist, Barely anyone can point out where Turkey is on the map
Why would you though? Why not Greece or Italy? Are you guys in love with your former masters?
>Zig Forums unironically tough me more about geography than school ever did
Same
After spending 1 year on INT I could name all the countries on a blank map of Europe and Middle East properly, even the Central-Asian -stans
>school from 8:30 - 15:00

>went on school trips every year, pretty based, went to Norway in 9th grade and walked the fjords and mountains, shared a cabin with my crush and two others
I miss school, it was pretty based.

>finish my education with 3.0 thats like a 50% or a C
>Chemistry, biology, physics and math are a complete waste of time if you're not getting into STEM
yup, so it was 96% waste of time
I just wanted to point out a country so close and influencial to the region.
me

>get beaten up by parents and shamed by family
What happens in that shithole anyway?

That's about all I remember
talking of comprehensive school, ages 7-15 here

>lunch break was longer and last lesson was shorter, though
>pretty non-gendered except sometimes in PE
>everything was pretty easy, but still learned quite a bit of stuff Americans apparently only touch on in high school lmao
only bad thing was a lack of real choice at this stage of education. I got to choose freely about 5 hours worth of lessons for a week, but the rest was mandatory or had to be picked from a short list of options
Grade 8-10 you just do random generic shit where you brute force learn simple shit while everybody farts in class and such.
Grade 11 and 12 are actually really good. You have to do English and a maths subject but you can choose the other 4 subjects
Did shit like history and biology and it was legitimately really good. Actual critical thinking stuff and good teachers, basically like uni
Or if you don't want a uni score you can do vocational subjects which give you certificates when you graduate
I went to a pretty middle class but still public school so it was very tame and cliquey. Met good friends I still have but not much happened. There weren't any fights and any dating or parties happend well out of the public eye
My parents were the same when i was little but then my brother got mentally ill my parents divorced then my father got mentally ill and both my parents just gave up on life and didnt care about me anymore
only Europe and MENA? come on user you should do better than that. Try the whole world. Or at least 95% of the countries in the world
Türk?
>not being able to name every country on the map
People literally thought I was a genius after I pointed out that Venezuela is located in northern South America.
it's an absolute fucking shithole. It is completely focused on engineering, IT and technology. So we had, no history classes, geography or even biology for that matter. Everyone there wanted to be an engineer. They were tryhard nerds. No one wanted to skip classes. No one wanted to skip school. They genuinely believed much of the bullshit the shitty administration told them. They were afraid of the meme punishments and "black points". Not to mention it was ridiculously hard. Physics and Mathematics classes were harder than the ones in college. And I went to college so I can confirm this. Also the education is english which is not my native language. An regular arabic school is where I should have been. Fuck that shithole
I wish I went to a normal school instead. Me and the boys would have skipped a lot of classes/days. We would hang out, chill and have a good time like all normal high school kids do
well I would hope the standards were a bit higher in Australia than the fucking UAE
shut the fuck up don't talk about the UAE like that/ It's not brainlet central. I think westerners are more ignorant desu
It's very mixed and global here. Much more than the west
Honestly though you don't learn actual functional geography in school you learn it by being vaguely interested in it
>8:20 to 15:00
>i started in the top set classes and was supposed to be a genius but with every new year i was dropped down a set for at least one class until i finished school with C’s and D’s
>PE was a huge waste of time that i had no patience for and i was immediately put in the bottom set because i didn’t give half a shit and took the piss every class and we’d just spend all class throwing balls at each other
>during my time at school ICT was retarded and there was no programming involved, it was just microsoft office which just changes every few years anyway
>i once set fire to a fence with a deodorant flamethrower and i got suspended
>We would hang out, chill and have a good time like all normal high school kids do
Said no one ever. Imagine wanting to "chill" in a prison.
bröther...
I meant chill outside of the school. Like we jump the walls and then go get us some breakfast from any restaurant or catch a taxi and go to a mall in the summer. like literally just do whatever we want. just chill and shit you know
Are you a local? will your parents be ok with that?
>last remaining all-boys school in the county
>no dumb thots, just a bunch of lads
>9am-4pm with a twenty minute break and an hour for lunch
>a bunch of rowdy young men being forced to stay in a certain location and wear uniform and constantly being watched leads to a prison-like atmosphere
>semi-frequent fights and arguments among the inmates
>but we were usually united against the pig wardens- I mean teachers
>this meant there was basically no bullying
>it was supposed to be a catholic school so we had to say prayers in Irish every Tuesday morning
>tfw got to go to the girls' school for chemistry once a week
>8am-6pm, 5 days a week.
>french : learn grammar and then study some texts
>maths : generic shit unless you choose the "Scientific" option later in high school
>geography : draw maps and learn that geography isn't all about memorizing countries and capitals
>history : spend an ungodly amount of time talking about the Jews and WW2, rush pretty much everything else.
>biology : mostly just general knowledge, nothing really scientific about it
>physics : same as biology unless you choose the "Scientific" options later in high school
>PT, music, arts : absolute dog shit. Don't think I learned anything in music and arts. Didn't even teach us the basics of how to sing/play an instrument and of how to draw. PT is useless because they don't teach you anything either, it's just to make sure all the kids do at least ~2h of sports a week.
>English : decent but boring
>German : dEr bErLiNEr mAUeR every fucking year
>Every Wednesday afternoon there's a 4 hour long test about one of the aforementioned disciplines except for PT, music and arts
Good times.
no they wont be ok. but if I was in a normal school they wouldn't have anyway of knowing what I do. Overall it wont be a big deal
Couple of trips to Belgium, Germany, Britain and France where we all got shitfaced.
Pretty cool.
>there was basically no bullying
I was in an all boys school and that was true for my school too. I never understood the bully vs nerd personas in american media. like who even goes out of their way to bully some other dumb kids lol? like just don't get bullied bro lol
