You've grown wiser.

The mean girls always become nurses.

Your parents were teachers, too?

i honestly didnt care at some point. i just said im going to the toilet, if they want to punish me, they could do it when im back

(Maths?) I still am.

I have to say I actually do like knowing that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and that Athens and Sparta fought the Peloponnesian War and that the square root of 144 is 12. Yeah none of this helps me in my day to day life but school introduced me to many ideas and facts that I'm very happy to know.

I dont know about some other countries but in Netherlands if you choose economics they actually do explain about taxes.

This. The pledge is so dumb. I never, ever stand for it. Had several teachers yell at me for it, but you just get numb to it after awhile. America is taking my rights and you want me to worship it?? Hell naw

At 57, still is... but then swearing and cussing about stupid things 'co'workers do which mess up my job.

Omg not the f*****g barkers. They're the same ones who'll grab each others' asses while still somehow being homophobic

Same guy still does that. Only now he also wears a hoodie.

Mile Monday's were a horrible invention. My friends and I would just walk around the track while talking and ignoring the PE teacher who was yelling at us to run.

Married to High School Sweetheart. Going on 22 years together. We actually had middle school 6th grade class together and choir but i dont rmbr him then. Whoops sorry Love.

That would be Shakespeare

In my school you had a shower after, it was just a big shower block with no curtains and all the girls had to shower in there, I would of rather been sweating and stinky all day than having to go through that as a teenager, it was so degrading.

And her name is always Emily.

7:30am? It’s still dark in the winter! Kids are a waste of time before 9 am!

Come to South Africa, when you are shopping and loadshedding starts, no one screams, they just take out their phones to carry on shopping while the generator kicks in.

Bragging about how you hurt your bodies is something to be neither ashamed nor proud of. I frankly think that most teenagers' sleep cycles and school timing are utterly incompatible, like I cannot imagine wanting to do Math at 7 am. On top of that, excessive homework, assignments, and exams to study for that takes up a lot of time along with other activities. With that being said, please recognize that sleep is important for you no matter your age. You're not tough for being able to survive on four hours, it's not funny just because it's a relatable experience, and you're actually being less productive and not more because sleep deficiency impedes your cognitive abilities along with many other side-effects. Start small, aim for consistency rather than an instant fix. Your body works day and night to help you survive, please give it the rest it deserves.

I went to a Catholic school in Spain. 1980, I remember one kid being dragged out of clase by a priest teacher, desk and all and being kicked like a football. Priests drags the kid away screaming , comes back, puts the desk in back in its place and carried on. Never saw the kid again. I'd only been in Spain for a few months and spoke little Spanish so I never found out what's he said or what happened to him.

Why tho? School in the UK starts at 9:30-ish. Were you finishing at lunchtime?!

When I was in high school (early 90's, USA) we started at 7:30 am and ended at 2:45 pm. Which meant I had to catch the school bus at 6:30 am. I frequently slept through quite a few classes.

My schools used to start at 7am, you had 15 minutes tops to get in

I was at school every day at 7am. I was one of those overly enthusiastic extracurricular kids

Elementary school starts at 7:30 here (: Help.

When I was a kid, school started at 7:20am so I had to be on the school bus at 6:15am or so. It ran to 2:45pm. Lunch was at 11am. My kids both get on the bus at just after 7am. None of it makes sense at all. It never has, it never will.

Early hours had a lot to do with bus routes in the US. If your kid went on a bus, that same bus had to pick up elementary kids (early), then middle school and then high schoolers. 3 schedules. Really stupid. Alternately, our high school had 3 different schedules because we probably didn't have enough teachers. You could start at 7 AM, 8 AM or 9 AM and go until 1 PM, 2 PM or 3 PM.

7:25 am. I am a natural night owl. May have picked the wrong career for that reason alone. . .

7am-230pm where I'm from. Hears they will changing it to a little later. Hope they do.

Schedule for me in high school: 7:30-14:30 school, 15:00-19:00 work, 20:00-22:00 homework, eat, etc. 23:00-6:00 sleep. Repeat. Sometimes I had marching band practice (in the fall) and track practice (spring). This was the 1990s though

Anxiety...

For Christmas they used to stuff the entire school into the gym and force us to sing songs or get detention.. ``\0.0/``

I could SMASH on those little chocolate milks.

At one point in my life my older sister worked at Chick-Fil-A, and she said that they are mostly home school (like herself).

That's because the other football team had a player that did the same thing and God had to make a choice

Had something similar in my high school. Learned to eat and talk really fast. BTW 25 minutes.
