High School

High School - Like/Love/Detest/Hate???

My blog so I'll start - Generally, I hated high school!!! The classes, the subjects, the social groups and some of the teachers... Don't get me wrong - I went to a brilliant high school - in fact one of the best! (My parents chose well - Thank you)

I hated:
  • Having to sit through 2 sessions of 2 different languages and then a double session of Maths on a Monday. Seriously - who thought that schedule up and THEN thought it was good for my final 3 years in a row?!?! Sadist!!!
  • Friday homework, due on Monday! Especially the 2 different languages and Maths.
  • The daily stress of nearly missing the bus home and the equally sadistic bus driver who pretended he couldn't see you desperately waving him down (especially on a Friday)
  • Phys Ed and the overweight teachers! (I couldn't do a double somersault over a trampoline but I would have paid good money to see them do it!)
  • Some of the people I met...
I loved:
  • That weirdo Biology teacher who kept walking out the classroom mid-sentence and then we didn't see him until the next lesson where - he'd do it all again!
  • The school bus that broke down regularly (Mondays were the best! Still messed with my schedule though... I used to do 'Language 1' homework on the bus, 'Language 2' during 'Language 1' and Math during 'Language 2'. No surprise that I was exhausted by Morning tea!)
  • Some of the Maths I've actually had to use in real life - hard to believe but those Math teachers might not be lying!!!
  • Those kids who locked the door on 'Language 2' teacher because she was late (her rule - she used to do it to us all the time)
  • That guy who threw an egg at the Math teacher on our last day (And the Math teacher caught it and threw it back!!! Brilliant!)
  • The Math teacher for my final year - that's when it all fell into place and finally made sense
  • Completing Year 12 (Matric)
  • Some of the people I met...
Not exactly encouraging for my eldest (first day on Tuesday). But with hindsight, it's not all bad...

Good luck my babe and remember we are still (and always will be) here for you
