Does anyone other than think dasleah had a bad time in high school? I'm just glad I was schooled in Australia, no guns here! And the gangsters only kill each other

I had an alright time in High School. I wasn't the most popular kid in school (well... at my 2nd High School. Moved from NZ to Australia for the final year. First HS I had done enough wheeling and dealing to secure myself a Head Boy position about 2 years before I was in the right year to do so) but I got through it fine. I'm just in the position where I'm old enough to live in the real world while still young enough to remember it all.

Yeah, the Kiwi/Aussie change was weird for me but I think Australia has better schools despite the unfortunate bogan infestation and the density of deadly animals. Also it isn't as beautiful and people react violently if you ask them to say "put a shrimp on the barbie!" mere moments after they asked you to say "I want six fish and chips!". Tch, some people

Your classic stereotypical Australian. Everyone else is content to act like normal humans but a small population percentage has decided to be annoying, loud, racist and stupid. The also seem to believe there country is better than yours, whether or not you actually was born in Australia. I've seen chinese and black people made fun of because there great-great-great grandfather was born in china, ignoring the fact that everyone save aboriginals have ancestry from another country

Interesting fact, the white population of Australia has the least room to look down on others, since it is likely they had ancestors who were transported to a prison colony instead of being hanged. Note that I am specifically referring to the "bogans" with that statement and not saying that your ancestors being forced to move is something to be ashamed of.

For myself, high school was fun but mindblowingly boring. I was the smartest person in my school, and that includes the teachers, though bout 25% of my class was smarter then them. No, I didn't graduate top of my class, nor even the top 30. However, I was the go to guy when people didn't get any of the maths or sciences, since the teachers were incompetent, scored 1310 on the SAT's back before they tripled its size, and spent half the class correcting the teachers bad math and lack of history knowledge. Unfortunately, grades were 50% subjective and needless to say, the teachers didn't appreciate being called stupid in 100 words or more.

Now, since graduation, I've done catering to various charter schools and a couple public schools in Philadelphia, and dear god those places scare me. "Hey, we get 40% of our students into collage, 20% more then public schools in the area. YAY!" All those schools do is prepare your resume to get you into a collage, they don't teach anything. They let collage's teach grammar and things like that.

Granted, Collage isn't better. I'm taking online courses now since I've been working in my family store since I got my learner's permit to let me deliver, and the people aren't any smarter. Half of the students in my one class think Shakespere was written in a language other then english, and both my current class are remedial english courses that I have no choice but to take since they are the only english courses offered online. Did I mention that this isn't some upstart 2 degree collage thats trying to make money, but the University of Phoenix. Clearly admission standards are extremely low.

I don't mind about you mentioning most Australian ancestors were prisoners but I especially don't mind because I come from New Zealand and people actually elected to go there.

And my Australian ancestors were mostly Irish that came over for the various Gold Rushes, with some Americans coming over after their various early wars.

Why do you put 'Love, jakkara' after everything? Put it in your signature.
