School good or bad

In your opinion is school good or bad. I think it is bad because I break my back with those dumb heavy books. I think it should be you watch a video or something to learn. No need for havey books.

I don't like school. I couldn't care less about actually attending it.
Homework is a big problem, though. The bottom line is: Students don't do it. They always cheat off of others and from answer booklets, and they won't learn anything. They're still get good grades and pass, regardless of what they actually know. To fix that, instead of assigning us work to do at home, there should simply be tests and quizzes, heavily monitored, to prevent cheating.

And, uh, those "dumb, 'havey'" books are helping you get an education.

That it does alnog with my ususual honor role. But I am in pain. Those books hurt my back.

Sometimes It Can be good and can give you some entertainment, Specially when you're random enough to do crazy things (My Case)

I love my school, because they don't give a lot of homework. And I'm going to college in four months...I've got some good choices from the list of universities that have accepted me. I'm pretty nervous about that, but I'm also excited.

What class are you taking?

Do you mean what classes am I taking now in high school, or what I'm planning to major in when I'm in college?

Both. Last night I had hommwork all night!

well, I had to collect some materials, research about Austria, do homeworks and Draw a map of Egypt ...in less than 2 days, School Can be painful sometimes D:

For me, School is very painful... First of all, no one likes stuff I like, so I get no friends, and the homework is the doomsday...! It cuts of our free time, and in my country, it's pointless, but we still have to do it! That's the reason I always want to be ill, and if I'm lucky, I can stay at home for a week, just because I barfed on Sunday!(This happened like 3 times in my life.)

Other nights a rare thing like last night had no HOMEWORK besiddes studying which took me 20 minutes top. We also have to read the lamest books including shakespare. I am also learning high school algebra and science. In 3 of my classes I have videos to watch instead of books. However being a new kid in school gets all sorts of people to think your cool. If you get honors or high honors people want to be friends with you. At my school everyone says sonic is lame.

Here, they think Mario is lame, they also never heard of Sonic, if they would, they'd say "lame" for Sonic, too....

At my school, my friends know about Sonic and Mario, but...well, they don't think he's "lame", but they don't really talk about them much. They're more into other things.

I am going on a trip today so I have no school!

For me, since I've been in school for almost thirteen years now, it's become a bit of a routine, but I still don't like it all that much.

Hey if school involved taking trips to big cities and coming back at the end of school it would be nice.

for me no one likes sonic, all they like is cod black ops

Going in to grad school, I was nervous and had lots of doubts. I had no clue if I was actually ready for graduate-level work and research and if I had chosen the right program. At this point, I've been in graduate school for about a month and a half, which isn't super long, but I think it's long enough to give me a decent feel for my program.

I'm half a semester in, and I'm absolutely loving my grad program. My cohort is wonderful - we've organized a weekly anime watching group, we go to movies a lot, eat lunch together, have game nights, go to parties...it's just a fun group of people. My classes are challenging, but manageable and interesting. My classmates are really smart, and people pull together before assignments are due to help each other out. In my undergrad, I had a really tiny department (class size averaged 3-4 students, and each class was only taught every other year), so being surrounded by so many students who are genuinely interested in and good at computer science is a new and wonderful experience. The professors in the department are all very friendly and helpful and get along with each other - there's a lot of collaboration. There are 3 weekly lunch-talks in systems, machine learning, and computational social science where we can get free food and listen to interesting (or not-so-interesting) talks. My advisor is wonderful. I only got a research project two days ago because the lab's been very busy and my advisor's been trying to think of a good project for me, but everyone in my lab gets along really well and works together a lot. There was a big deadline two weeks ago where the entire lab pulled together to finish one project in time, which was kind of cool to be a part of.

There. I just wanted to share my excitement with other graduate students and see if anyone else is feeling similarly. I see a lot of topics about people having problems with their grad program which has left me wondering how many new students are enjoying grad life. It's just such a weight off my shoulders to feel, after agonizing about it for the past year, that I've actually made the right decision.

Err...I don't think there are an awful lot of grad students here. I'm a college sophomore myself, and I think most everyone else is around 9 or 10. But hey, adding to the diversity of the place is nice too.
