How has school been for you so far this year?
I have been having diffficulty with homework, stress, and ilness.
Hopefully things will be under control soon.
Also, I somehow managed to give myself left-wrist tendonitis (inflamation of the tendons in my left wrist) which makes sports imposible (Yes! A valid excuse!) and typing difficult (homework now takes twice as long) because I am now wearing a splint that keeps my arm imobilized.
You?
it's sooooooooo god dang boring and the days are dragging on fgorever. And most of my old firends are slowley distancing from me, besides that im good.
I love the kids at my school! I even have a group that I hang out with during lunch every day. Nobody taunted me for anything so far, not even my clumsy-looking cartwheels! :smile:
However, my science teacher, although nice as a person, dunks my grade down just because I leave out the little tiny petty details! She expects me to be a savvy at explaining things step by step, which is one of my weaknesses. I'm really starting to get ticked off that she is ignoring the fact that I have Aspergers, and expecting me to learn like an NT student. What should I do? :roll:
44.8, have you talked to her about your aspergers? Maybe you could get her to explain to YOU step-by-step what she expects, and that might make it easier.
well I completly blew it with a girl and I think it might have been cause of my aspergers.
she's going out with my best friend now.
killing spree tomorrow!

I'm on the verge of disaster. I don't even understand how I made it to the 10th grade in piece.

I'm in uni right now and finding it quite difficult to document my work - especially when the practical element of an assignment takes about an hour to complete but the writeup takes weeks (an example - setting up a simple LAN).
I only just realised that this was posted in the under 16s board.
Honestly, school stinks for me. I'm in basic regular government-controlled public school. Everyone's the same. We're all eating the same FDA-regulated crap everyday for lunch. Same teachers continuing on their arguments on how we don't listen in class (is this really supposed to be a surprise)? On top of all that, I'm failing math... again. My mom wants to put me into homeschooling because I can learn at my own pace (though, I don't really have that many years left) and I won't have to worry about peer pressure, or teachers breathing down my neck. Yeah...
To sum it all up, I'm so-so.
I go to one of the best schools in the US, Union county Magnet, and I just scored second highest on PSAT in my class as a freshman with grade comparison to juniors. There is no way school can truly interest me in full, so I'm only a B-student. At least I have friends in my new high school, because if I went to a normal one I'd be in fights.
Good job, Daisuke
I go to a really good school too, yet my grade in science is a C+. I don't really like my science teacher, but not a lot of kids do anyway. She is pretty disorganized and is too harsh while grading papers. most of my teachers give me full credit just for completing the assignment and turning it in on time. but she looks over the assignment, does a mistake patrol, and writes negative coments. For christsake, homework is JUST PRACTICE!! And all she wants is huge, complete, and accurate explanations for every anwser. I don't even know how other students get an As in her class. But the good news is, i'm getting As and BS in all my othre classes. Plus i have some really good friends that i actully sit with every day. At my old school, i just dwelled and wandered, saying "hi" to random people I now.
Oh no. Progress reports. Not only do I have several Cs for being stuck in this school, I actually got a D in a subject. And I thought I was getting better!!
It's not because I don't know the subject, it's just that there's so much work and I just can't complete all of it. THAT's what makes this school hard. Work.
I am so sorry to hear that Meiloyn. I know what it is like having tons of homework, and I hate it too. i once had a D- in 5th grade history, because it was my least favorite subject, and it was at the end of the year when i started focusing on summer vaccation and moving to middle school. i fortunatley didn't have to repeat the class, though I had lots of C's in other subjects. But i had an aide and a tutor in 6th grade, and they helped me a little. I'm only getting better grades, because I'm more mature and responsible. But there are times when i just can't do any work.
The school system sucks, I'm homeschooled to avoid as much of it as I can
I hate the whole concept of homework. I'm sure it's useful to some students, but to be honest it's rare for me to learn ANYTHING from it. It just provides an oportunity for me to mess up, miss the homework for some reason, and get terrible grades.
I've now been warned, that if I don't "get my act together" and stop missing asignments, I'll be kicked out of school. The authorities don't seem to realize that it's not as easy as saying "OK I'll do it" and suddenly morphing into a straight A+ student.
Wish me luck, I'm going to find out soon whether I'm being kicked out of school or not.
You see, teachers don't like it when a kid's too stressed out to do her homework.
They seem to think it shows "iresponsibility".
