Can teachers make an education a good or bad one?

Yes, with a good teach you have the will to learn and are more comfortable and have more respect for yourself and the teacher (i.e. not sleeping in the back of the class)
27 (71.1%)
No. It's what you pull out of your education that counts, a teacher is like a book, it only delivers the information, but you need to interpret it for yourself.
1 (2.6%)
School blows...we should just be home schooled or be encourage to study whatever we want at our own pace.

Course you can personalise your bag, although i do regret adding the names of various Nu-metal bands to my old one..
Do you go to a private school?  Cause about the only thing disalowed here is swim wear if I recall correctly...

I go to a Roman Catholic School. You need to be of some christian faith to go or work there. All Highschools in England have uniforms.

So?  Why does forcing you to not wear 'street clothes' magically make you do better than students who do wear normal clothes?

On the subject of clothing, I personally don't care what people wear; if they put on all kinds of strange dyed hair, rings everywhere , and whatever else, it just shows that they are stupid enough to care about their physical appearance so much, but that's not my problem. :D Some consider my appearance a bit unusual (sweatshirt and sweatpants, double-layered, gray or green, regardless of weather; hair normal but uncombed, large and thick glasses), but I was not really bullied or anything because of this.

Some of us actually apply the term 'social' in other than the theoretical sense. :p

Except for a few smirks or comments, nobody cares about what people wear at my school.  I have 2 black shirts, 1 light blue shirt, 1 white, shirt, and 1 grey shirt and some dark blue jeans that I wear everyday of the week.(but not in that order)

School is easy as hell, but the credit system is gay.  I only lack 2 credits to graduate but the state requires me to stay at school for at least 4 1/2 hrs a day, thus I will graduate with 3 more credits then what I need. :(
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

There arent any highschool students in Britian that wear normal clothes, everyone has uniforms, to stop the poorer students being mocked. Thats not backward, thats life.

Guys, take it easy on our somewhat terrible education system, it's true that uniforms are a must for all high-school students but once you get out of that and into college (which is still school to you US types) you can wear what you please.

Although it has to be said that I've yet to encounter anyone who got mocked for the state of their uniform, except perhaps me....

I decided I didn't like the tweed jackets issued by our private school so I wore a knee length black trench coat instead... spent the last year and a half there being told to take it off but never did, heh - such is the power of the system ;)

Only private schools back where I grew up had uniforms.
Mostly just the catholic schools and stuff like that.
However due to kids own stupidity clothing restrictions became enforced.
"Starter" jackets were all the rage.  Expensive sports jackets with your favorite teams on them.  Guys would wear them to school, put the (heavy) things in their lockers.
Locker gets busted into by someone else who wants the jacket.  
Parents come in demanding the school replace the jacket.

Well guess what, no more starter jackets allowed in school or on the grounds period.  Solve that issue.

Then guys started bringing guns to school (at the much larger and ****ed up high school across town that served most of the military kids) And after a bout of that, no backpacks that weren't completely see-through weren't allowed and neither was a jacket that had a liner or inside pockets.  They could be brought in, but must be put in your locker.  The other high school kept getting worse and worse with gang-related stuff untill finally they had cops there every day at all the exits/entrances and a metal detector at the front door.  The ENTIRE student body had to go through that door every morning, however after school they could leave from anywhere.  Drug dogs were always on the scene (and they found stuff every week too).

I don't think uniforms would have helped in all those instances, but damn things go downhill quick when kids **** around.



Well, I know about the columbine look.
I was in the navy and when I got out I still had my issued trenchcoat.
Then the columbine shooting happened.

I like to walk around town.  Go to the store, alright, why drive, it's a couple blocks, why kill the battery by making it try to start the car twice in the dead of winter when you'll drive for like, 5 minutes?  I pull on my sweatshirt and my trench and start walking, rain snow sleet...  It's why I kept the thing.

Then I had people trying to jump curbs with their cars, been spit on (and broke my hand going through the guys driver side window after him.  What broke the window was pulling him out of it so I could hit him with the other one.)  And get harassed by the cops way too many times because 'someone fit my description'

Quote:
Me, talking to a police officer who pulled me over (walking!) for a "roadside interview" while going to get a hotdog and a refill of my 64oz drink for 50 cents from a Circle-K two blocks from my house (why pay more if I don't have to?)
"You mean someone wearing a trenchcoat, carrying an empty circle-k mug and wearing an "I hate barney" shirt was seen two miles away (not even on the road I was on) in an alley jumping through someone's back yard?"
"Yes sir it was."
Then asked me where I lived, where I was going (duh!) asked to see my id...
After making me wait out in a steadily increasing rain for 15 minutes so he can check for warrants or stuff he finally pops out of his car and gives me my stuff back.  "Okay sir, you're clear."
"You know officer, this is the fifth time this month I've been given one of these.  And before that it was about 2 or three times a month since that damn school shooting.  You guys keep bothering me and I'm going to get a lawyer and file charges for harassment."
"Well sir that's up to you.  I'm just doing my job."
/quote

But if someone did call that in and I fit the bill, why the hell didn't he take me in for questioning or some ****?

What's really bad is that I still got bugged, though nowhere near as much, and on several occasions I was followed for a mile or so (on my bike).

Bollocks! The fact that poorer kids exist is an injustice, but that's a seperate issue.


Poorer kids just end up with scruffier looking uniforms and get mocked anyway.
