My precalculus teacher said this to me one day: "You could not handle AP Stats."
Restatement of the obvious: She thought I was an idiot.
It's 10% learning, 40% busywork, 50% doing nothing and waiting to get out of class, and 90% is solely a waste of time.
i'd prefer just going to a class ten minutes, learning, then moving to the next class because homework and all that shit is useless and doesn't help instill anything into my mind if i didn't already absorb it in those first ten minutes
I hate how the teachers make you take notes. I don't need to take notes, but the teachers just make us take them and do random note checks. Of course, I don't take notes and I still A all the tests, even if I fail the notebook checks. I also hate how physical education requires you to change clothes, and it especially sucks if you have it in the morning.
Otherwise, I really like school because it's the only and the greatest place for me to socialize with others.

I agree with this.
I love school.
I hate the majority of the people there since they act like idiots. As Lawls said, there is never much learning going on.
I hate the boring teachers. Most of the time the kids are sleeping because of how boring the classes are.
I just hate having to wake up early and some of the work.
Everyone thinks I'm emo because I don't talk 24/7 like most idiots.
It costs money.

Eek mine too. You get an F if you don't take them, and you don't need them for anything. We don't even have tests on them.
Usually I think of school as a social club because I'm always excited to be with my in-school friends. doodella;

I love school.
Depends on who's doing the teaching. I've had classes I loved to go to and others that just made learning suck.
Waking up early and immature bastards distracting class.
Waking up early and being called an Idiot by teachers
Attending it in the summer.
Waking up early, the work, and the idiots.
Other than that, I love school and the past two years especially have been amazing.
Lately I've given up on it because I HATE THE SAME THING EVERY DAY
Waking up at 6 am every morning. doodthing;
I hope I won't have to do that in college.
All of the people.
I don't like crowds.
Homework, projects, and bastards who cheat and get better grades than me without doing any work because of it.
Done with high school now though, got my AP test scores back, so no more grades from high school

Fuck, I still don't know what I got on my AP stat test. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 1, though. doodthing;

Earliest class I've seen offered was at 8, and you get to pick your classes, as well as the time slot (provided it's not full) so technically you could not have classes start until like 3 if you really wanted to.
I prefer to get them done and finish my day at 11 or 12 though

I wouldn't mind starting around 9 or 10. That's usually when I wake up anyway.

My scores:
US Government: 4
European History: 4
Literature: 4
16 credits, which means I can probably have 3 day weekends now :|

lol, I'm probably taking stat in college again, anyway. It won't really matter.
The shitty thing is, I completely skipped over Pre-Calc. I went from Math B (Geometry, Trig, etc.) to Statistics. So I might have to take Pre-Calc this year.

That sucks, I hated Pre-Calc... Before that I had never even come close to failing a quarter in a class, but once I had to get an 85 or better on the last test to pass... which I did thank goodness. How it was harder than actual Calc I do not understand

I don't know. I might do well. I got a 98 on the Math B Regents exam. doodella;

I do well on all math exams not created by my teachers... I basically always get 98 percentile on state and federal exams, 700 on math on the SAT, but my school's math system sucks. It's CPM if anyone's heard of that... It started in California, and failed, which of course meant my school had to try it
The hardest thing in College is staying focused. With the way the schedule and attitude is it's very easy to slack off and not do well. :'(
