13 Things I Have Learned.

[Sara]

[color=#b0000b][size=1]ITT, we discuss [i]one thing[/i] we learned from each year of compulsory school that we attended.

For me (an American who attended kindergarten and has finished grades 1-12), this comes to thirteen things. If you attended pre-school, your list may be slightly longer. If you have not yet graduated, your list will be shorter. If you're from a country with a different school system, please explain it for us clueless Americans.


[center][b]THIRTEEN THINGS I HAVE LEARNED[/B]
[i]presented in a format suitable for a corny inspirational poster[/i][/center]

[indent]?[b]Kindergarten[/b]: You can stick pins through the tips of your fingers without actually hurting yourself. This will impress your friends, but not your teachers.

?[b]First grade[/b]: During musical performances, it is important to wear your sparkly gold hat in a way such that the audience can [i]actually see your face.[/i] Everyone is wearing the same costume, but your parents are only there to see you, so it's nice if they can tell which gold-clad child you are.

?[b]Second grade[/b]: Whether you fit 30 or 80 droplets of water onto the surface of a penny depends largely on the size of your droplets. Most pennies are actually the same size.

?[b]Third grade[/b]: No matter how long it takes you to write out all of your math problems, you will not get any credit if you forget to actually [i]solve[/i] them.

?[b]Fourth grade[/b]: Recorders are [i]awful[/i], and should never under any circumstances be played in church.

?[b]Fifth grade[/b]: It [i]is[/i] possible to be so nervous that you throw up. All over the hallway.

?[b]Sixth grade[/b]: Cheerleading is overrated (but not all cheerleaders are idiots).

?[b]Seventh grade[/b]: Adjectives modify nouns. Adverbs modify everything else, and this actually [i]makes sense[/i]. (This was such a revelation...I can't even tell you how long it took me to understand what adverbs actually were.)

?[b]Eighth grade[/b]: Do not give a sappy "we've been classmates for so long" tape to a girl with whom you are not actually good friends, and who may become your enemy in high school. (The thought of this tape [i]still[/i] haunts me!)

?[b]Ninth grade[/b]: Study hall is [i]boring[/i]. Take art classes instead.

?[b]Tenth grade[/b]: Spanish and German are not the same language, but it is possible that an absent-minded language teacher may forget this.

?[b]Eleventh grade[/b]: Doing [i]some[/i] of the work for a group project is somehow more stressful than doing [i]all[/i] of the work for yourself.

?[b]Twelfth grade[/b]: If everyone likes what you're doing, you're doing something wrong. There are many people from whom approval is decidedly A Bad Thing.[/indent]

[2010DigitalBoy]

here goes...

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Preschool[/COLOR]: If you pee yourself during naptime, you will not be aloud to return.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Kindergarden[/COLOR]: School is boring, and the time could be better spent trying to figure out how to tie your shoes.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]1st Grade[/COLOR]: When you go into 1st grade, you are supposed to be 7 years old. If you are 6, you are 'lucky'. If you are 8 you are 'unlucky' (it took me years to decifer this logic)

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]2nd Grade[/COLOR]: Talk to the kid in your class who also rides your bus. Chances are you'll become best friends.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]3rd Grade[/COLOR]: Kids are evil and will hate you for the most trival of reasons.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]4th Grade[/COLOR]: If your having trouble in school, it's your teacher's fault, not yours.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]5th Grade[/COLOR]: If you have popular friends, EVERYONE will know your name.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]6th Grade[/COLOR]: It's way better to start school in September than August.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]7th Grade[/COLOR]: When someone takes your glasses, you must let out a stream of cuss words if you want them back. Chances are 50/50 that you'll see them for the rest of the day.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]8th Grade[/COLOR]: Don't ever confuse 'emo' and 'post hardcore' or an army of genre whores will burn you at the stake.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]9th Grade[/COLOR]: Being the only white person in your school is as crazy as it sounds.

Kindergarden- Being the youngest gets you the most sypathy with the teachers.

First Grade- Being youngest sucks, all the other kids are bigger and pick on you.

Second Grade- Mom pulls you out of school to homeschool, since you get bullied so much. And you're moving. And the damn schools don't teach you right.

Third Grade- Moving past Greek Gods, Multiplication, Division, and learning to read at a fifth grade level, homeschooling bores you.

Fourth Grade- So mom puts you back in school. Even the gifted classes turn out boring, and all but one kid hates you.

Fifth Grade- That one kid becomes your best friend. Everyone else continues to hate you for being a nerd.

Sixth Grade- You go through a dark phase, so mom pulls you out of school again. Homeschooling is just as boring as you remember it.

Seventh&Eighth Grades- Both completed in one year, you feel acomplished but miss having social contact.

Ninth Grade- Being twelve in ninth grade, they won't let you back in unless they put you back in middle school. So you keep homeschooling.

Tenth Grade- You start taking Freshmen Prep classes at a homeschool club. The kids like you a little better, but you still don't have any friends. So you get a job. They hate you there, too.

Eleventh Grade- Continue classes, plus a boyfriend. This year was one of the best. Except you're too distracted to get your goal SAT score.

Twelfth Grade- Still working. You Realize that the social drama is too much. You don't need that at fifteen. So you and your boyfriend split, and OB becomes your best friend.

[/INDENT]

The remainder of my senior year has yet to be lived.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][U]Things Learned Throughout the Years[/U]

[B]Preschool[/B] (Mexico): "It sure is hot outside."

[B]Kindergarten[/B] (Washington): "It sure is cold outside." That, and 'flicking the bird' is not a nice gesture.

[B]First Grade[/B] (Mexico): Not everyone wants to be your friend (encountered first bully). That, and not everyone likes insects...*sob* Also, uniforms are evil.

[B]Second Grade[/B] (Mexico): Became leader of a small gang of ruffians and exacted revenge on a past bully - lesson learned? Revenge is an interesting motive. This, and when struck at a certain angle in the crotch, a plastic ruler will break without harming you. Also, when trying to lift a desk, try not to fall back and hit your head on the chalk ledge. Uniforms are still evil.

[B]Third Grade[/B] (New York): The American school system does, without a doubt, suck at teaching (math in third grade was easier than it was in second grade in Mexico). Extra: Girls are pretty, but they don't go for just brains.

[B]Fourth Grade[/B] (New York): So not everyone sees things this blurry? So I need glasses? That's new.

[B]Fifth Grade[/B] (New York): When engaged in a fight, be aware of your surroundings - the corner of a windowsill is somewhat harder than than the side of your head. Then, when moving to another state, try to get the e-mail address of the girl you like...

[B]Sixth Grade[/B] (Texas): Joined band and played Tuba (hells yes), and learned that it wasn't so bad. Not many like insects, still. Being an average student coming from the Northeast will earn you the title of top student in your cluster here in Texas. Learned that a good majority of the girls here like to go for the hardworking and athletic 'redneck' stereotype...damn.

[B]Seventh Grade[/B] (Texas): Although mandatory school IDs are issued, I can still get myself out of trouble by taking off my glasses, turning my shirt around, and tucking my ID into my shirt (they are worn like necklaces). Not many like insects, still. I still can't get a girl to like me - no one seems to go for the intellectual type.

[B]Eighth Grade[/B] (Texas): Well, now I can finally get respect...or so I thought. Being a nerd, even if you have a decent fighting ability, does not seem to earn you respect. Well now, at least after three years I have made a handful of friends that accept my qualities - so people aren't all that bad, right? No. There will still be the 'kicker bullies. Still can't get a girlfriend.

[B]Ninth Grade[/B] (Texas): Hey, even if it is right along the border, no one seems to speak proper Spanish, except for me, and I'm from up North. Soccer is fun, but it's just a game, right? Oh no, it's a friggin' lifestyle, and people on the team won't like you if you take it lightly. Still can't get a girlfriend.

[B]Tenth Grade[/B] (Texas): It seems that anime-crazed girls don't like it when you tell them you like them...wtf?! Also, even if it is all last-minute, if you make a lyrics project for English II from a translated, Japanese song, and manage to make your poster interesting, and if you sing it in Japanese, you will earn an A+ for that major project. Still can't get a girlfriend.

[B]Eleventh Grade[/B] (Texas): Concentrated Nitric acid is indeed more caustic than one would initially believe. Hey, I'm finally getting some respect around school - maybe I can get a girlfriend now.......damn. Learned that respectably arguing something, like about rules that hinder your work, with the teacher will still get you a refferral...unless you have the Assistant Principal on your side, because he will just dismiss it as a silly misunderstanding.

Upcoming: My senior year - hope to get a girlfriend.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[b]Kindergarten:[/b] Keep your fingers away from doors as they are closing.

[b]1st Grade:[/b] The older and skinnier the teacher, the more cruel and heartless he or she will be.

[b]2nd Grade:[/b] GeoSafari is the greatest thing [i]ever[/i].

[b]3rd Grade:[/b] Spending a week in the ball room passing out dodgeballs with your most loathed enemy is a much worse experience than one could possibly fathom.

[b]4th Grade:[/b] Being forced to dance the Macarena onstage in front of parents and faculty is [i]not[/i] classified "cruel and unusual punishment" according to the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Bastards.)

[b]5th Grade:[/b] Neither is having to pay fake money in order to use the restroom.

[b]6th Grade:[/b] Playing [i]Wheel of Fortune[/i] on the computer is so much more fun than paying attention to petty things like "math" and "science."

[b]7th Grade:[/b] Mrs. Williams wore a wig.

[b]8th Grade:[/b] Middle school graduation ceremonies are amusingly tiny, no matter how many people go to your school.

[b]9th Grade:[/b] "What the ****? High school isn't [i]anything[/i] like [i]The Breakfast Club[/i]! I got ****ing gypped."

[b]10th Grade:[/b] Tennis is about a billion times more fun to play than it is to watch.

[b]11th Grade:[/b] "Wow, there are places on the Internet where people post about video games [i]and[/i] aren't completely retarded??" + God is on my good side because I got an A- in Trig/Pre-Cal.

[b]12th Grade:[/b] I make a sexy Meursault, doing an English project on Pixies (as in the band) = WIN, and Edgar Degas had [i]such[/i] a ballerina fetish. Also, girls don't like wearing orange graduation gowns.

?Second grade: Teachers start having mental break downs when you use the wrong tape to cover a book.

?Third grade: The ice cream man knows exactly want you want and who you are after the first two years.

?Fourth grade: Pigeon's pooping on your head isn't good luck...but its easier to get out if your wearing braids

?Fifth grade: Old drunk ladies who are about to retiring shouldn't be allowed to teach..and public school is better than catholic.

?Sixth grade: If you have a new york accent, people will automatically think your out to beat them up.o_O

?Seventh grade: Don't do 'things' in front of a glass window...its stupid..and the whole school can see you. People in my school think their invisable

[SIZE=1]Okay, so...I started school in Thailand at the age of three. Then I moved and went back to Kindergarden. Uh...whut.

[B]Year 1[/B] [Thailand]- Adults seem to think that when a boy chases after you with a dead insect and makes you cry, he probably has a crush on you. This does not make one feel better.

[B]Kindergarten[/B] [South Africa-First]- Geese hurt when they peck you. Do not climb into their pen and try to run away from them.

[B]Kindergarten[/B] [SA-Second]- Everyone seems to like you when you win a trophy in judo. Even that one nasty teacher.

[B]Grade 1[/B]- It's easier to get on with people when your first day falls on a field trip. Friends, yay!

[B]Grade 2[/B]- Honesty is not the best policy if it means getting sent to see the headmaster.

[B]Grade 3[/B]- Boys are way more fun than girls. I'd much rather play in mud than get a Valentine from one, ktnx.

[B]Grade 4[/B] [New School-Cape Town]- Boys are not fun any more, they stick tape in my hair and think it's funny.

[B]Grade 5[/B]- I think I'm in love with Gareth James Cawood. <3 Also, I've met my best friend through Pokemon.

[B]Grade 6[/B]- I'm still in love, and people think it's funny. Pokemon is still cool, but trying to start the 'Pokepaper' with best friend really won't work.

[B]Year 7[/B] [England]- People in England talk funny and laugh at my accent. This sucks.

[B]Year 8[/B]- Get first boyfriend. Isn't he dreamy?

[B]Year 9[/B]- Dump first boyfriend. Again. And again. And again. Now I have learnt from my mistakes.

[B]Year 10[/B]- Telling your friends that you have a crush on your art teacher is not clever, especially when they make kissy faces every time he walks past. People! We're 15!

[B]Year 11[/B] [Which I have just finished]- Finishing High School without ever having been in a fight/threatened/had a detention/forgotten homework is seen as some sort of amazing achievement. I'm going to miss it. ):

And in a month?s time I start college. Whee~ I've has such an odd educational history.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

[b]Playschool:[/b] Living right next door to your playschool means you never have to get up early.

[b]Junior Infants:[/b] If someone carries your bag for you after school, and ties your shoes, you've got a good friend.

[b]Senior Infants:[/b] School religious plays done in a church in front of 2,000 people is a good way to conquer stage fright. Also school principals do not appreciate being called by their first name, even if you're only 5.

[b]First Class:[/b] Standing up to a bully three years older than you, and beating him with a small army of your friends is probably going to be your greatest military victory.

[b]Second Class:[/b] Moving schools to the redneck village your dad grew up in is not fun. You will be the outsider and will be picked on.

[b]Third Class:[/b] Beating the living crap out of someone who bullies you is a good way to make them stop. Ignoring them simply makes them more determined to break you.

[b]Fourth Class:[/b] Finally being acknowledged as having an above average intelligence does wonders for one's self confidence. Joining a local martial arts group is also a good way to keep fit.

[b]Fifth Class:[/b] When everyone finally accepts you as being "from around here" you're going to get treated a hell of a lot better.

[b]Sixth Class:[/b] Pre-High School preparation can make the following year a hell of a lot easier.

[b]First Year - Third Year:[/b] Putting in the hours for study will pay off only if you're interested. No matter now long you stare at a maths book, it will not soak in if you hate maths. Conversely subjects you love are generally very easy to study for.

[b]Transition Year:[/b] Cutting loose after three years of hard work is a good way for people to get in touch with you. Generally they prefer someone who is laid back and you will have more success with the ladies if you take an active interested in building your body.

[b]Fifth Year:[/b] If through some freak accident you're injured badly in high school, for the love of God Almighty get back in as soon as you can. Failure to do so will result in depression and three years of doing **** all until you realise you can't go on like this.

Pity I didn't have that list a few years ago. Still life is only the accumulated events and trails you've faced.[/SIZE]

Wait!? I Actually Learned Something?!

[b]Daycare[/b] (Kansas): Biting people does not get you what you want. Although, if it's that dinosaur...

[b]Catholic School[/b]

[b]Kindergarten[/b] (KA): Talking to the people during nap time is not a good idea. If you do get to do something special during nap time because you don't sleep, don't share it with anyone.

[b]1st Grade[/b] (TN): When you're more advanced than the class, you tend to stick out alot. Teachers also don't like it all that much.

[b]2nd Grade[/b] (TN): Teachers will hate you for being on the ball and knowing what's what. Also, rolling your eyes during your Yearbook photo is not a good idea, because it'll embaress you to no end. Even today...

[b]3rd Grade[/b] (Utah): No matter what anyone says, never ever finish before everyone else and read a book. It's breaking the law. Also, allergies are something you should be ashamed of, even at such a young age.

[b]4th Grade[/b] (Utah): Apparently, teachers have feelings too. If you play an instrument and for every extra toot you get fined, is so bad to yell out that the other teacher won't fine you for tooting?

[b]Public School[/b]

[b]5th Grade[/b] (GA): Wow, public school's not all that bad. Wait, you mean your allowed to be smart?! OMFG! Although, the bus driver most likely hates you for some reason...

[b]6th Grade[/b] (GA): Middle School sucks ***. Especially when you're in the advanced social studies group and all you do is project after project after project. Science is also dull as a rock.

[b]7th Grade[/b] (GA): Biology means cutting things open. Chasing after people with guts is never a good idea. Advanced Social Studies Projects? Hells yeah! And not laughing during Choral Performances is always a good idea.

[b]8th Grade[/b] (GA): Rocks are the most boring thing on earth. Also, Galileo did not invent the telescope. It was some other guy hundreds of years later named Hubble... Learning Spanish is fun. Also, being different is bad. Verrry bad. So is trusting people. (Oh how I wished it was German...)

Repeated the 8th Grade due to Language problems. As in, I didn't know enough Spanish to get into the 9th grade. 9th Grade=Spanish or Science, but with 3 languages, so I was stuck with Spanish. When that makes any sense... >>;;;

[b]8th Grade[/b] (Germany): Wait, the class are all in GERMAN!? WTF? And they don't wear Lederhosen! Thank you Lord! Wait, being American is a good thing? Telling a classmate your gay is too!? Woah, where the hell did I just land?

[b]9th Grade[/b] (Germany): The boys in your class are going to cause problems and be ********. Learn to deal with it. Also, trusting people is usually bad. Only trust those you wouldn't ever trust otherwise.

[Japan]

[COLOR=navy]Pre-school:Never play the mom in house because you will just get beat up emotionally

First grade: Legos in speech class is fun

Second grade: Puffins live in Maine, Oregon, and Alaska

Third Grade: The teacher was an idiot

Fourth grade: If I'm not shy, I'm the most popular girl in the grade.

Fifth Grade: A lot of people besides the teacher are idiots. The Sheriff of Nottingham is Black and very nice.

Sixth grade: I learned how to conjugate a sentence.

Seventh grade: CATS and Phantom of the Opera are musicals

Eighth grade: Never trust the teachers or students

Ninth Grade: Terrorism is real, death is real (9/11)

Tenth Grade: Never do group projects

Eleventh grade: You can never get what you want. (exp: no Japan trip)

Twelveth grade: Almost all people in high school do not matter and all social events are stupid so do not waste your time. [/COLOR]

[color=#503f86][b]Nursery[/b]
Someone will always have the toy that you want.

[b]Reception[/b]
Disgusting habits (such as nose-picking) are easy to pick up, and impossible to lay to rest.

[b]Year 1[/b]
You can push someone over in the playground, but the next day they'll be your best friend again.

[b]Year 2[/b]
Best friends are interchangeable. On an hourly basis. The colour sticker on the books you read determine how many friends you have.

[b]Year 3[/b]
You cannot repeat most of the things you have seen on TV.

[b]Year 4[/b]
If you are away for twelve weeks, nobody remembers you.

[b]Year 5[/b]
Handwriting is [i]everything[/i].

[b]Year 6[/b]
You better hope that the people you like are going to the same high school as you, otherwise they won't look back.

[b]Year 7[/b]
If one of the largest guys in the yeargroup takes a liking to you, don't knock it. Also, you are complete fodder for the larger kids.

[b]Year 8[/b]
It's okay to find new groups of friends. Especially when the old one tries to push you down the stairs.

[b]Year 9[/b]
Some girls can actually be friends.

[b]Year 10[/b]
Exams suck. Hormones frequently suck, but not always. And it doesn't matter how nice a person you are- if you don't like football, you're an outcast.

[b]Year 11[/b]
Exams suck more, but OH MY GOD I HOPE I PASS! Also, you are complete fodder for the smaller kids.

[b]Year 12[/b]
High School is beneath you, but you still remember everything those bastards said and did to you. You cannot break the social hierarchy at this stage.

[b]Year 13[/b]
Some people are really not worth worrying about. Futurama is fantastic.

I hated school. Anyone who said "School days were the best days of my life" obviously went to a much better school than I did.[/color]
