Too long for a post, because nobody will read it: (In response to: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/general-discussion/elementy-school-is-harder-than-high-school/t.33638643_31/#44 smile
There weren't cliques and emo sheit in elementary school. Academically, it was my high point, honor roll, advanced class, accepted into Middle Years International Baccalaureate Program. Crashed in 7th grade academically, absolutely no friends during lunch until 8th grade, failed last marking period of Spanish and History 8th grade. I'm a sophomore in High School now. I failed English 9 and Earth Science last year. Took English over the summer and retaking a Science course this year. Luckily the IBMYP funded an extra year in Spanish going towards my Advanced Diploma. I made a ton of friends in high school, and socially, it's awesome.... and it's so weird how all my classes are easy as... Elementary School. In Middle School, I actually had to think, but in High School, I was used to the IB program, and everyone expects less. Watching people get proud over C's sickens me... however, I am the one who failed two classes last year. I'm screwing up English this year too. It's easy stuff, tests and quizzes, but I hate doing the work. Anything that requires novels or essays throws me off. Novels, I never get around to reading. Essays, I never get around to writing. I don't mind doing either, but I just never do them, because it's worthless and won't contribute to my knowledge. That's when people will tell me to just do it and get the grade. It's annoying, however, that I have to get my essays sounding perfect, or else I can't finish it. I hate how you have to follow a 5 paragraph format. Some things should only be a paragraph or so, but others could be extended for pages on end. This post is going in the journal xP
