It is true you make friends in school...but that is not really why you are there...you're there to LEARN STUFF.
I have found that many people who are older than me on this website have not payed attention to certain classes at school and they don't know the basics of everything I know...and it makes life difficult to debate with them.
Question is, who's fault is it that these people don't learn?
The student, the teacher or the classmates?

the teachers...
they dont make it interesting enough. They need to liven it up.
Have AWESOME movies to show that goes along with the lesson. A movie that everyone enjoys, not some chick flick. Also, have people choose their own projects. But they have to do one, and they have to be done really well and not some written paper. Have some free days along the school year so the kids dont think you are boring all the time. Have 1-2 field trips to do something. Have a trip for lunch to get something to eat. Have the students write down some suggestions on what they should be able to do but give them boundaries before they start.
Yes, it is indeed part of the systems fault. They need to choose better teachers. But the teachers are mainly the responsibility. They give homework almost every day like to read something or to finish a paper.

true, but hten how can you get enthusiastic about teaching a bunch of surly teenagers??
pretty much, i think that kids should get a years break when they get to that really grumpy stage, go and get a job for a year, but still be enroled and just finish school a year later. or treat high school more like uni, it sucks to be that age adn still treated like a kid. you get really frustrated and blow up then they treat you like a kid even more!!!
its like you have no voice at that age, and it sucks, and it works its way into every part of your life.
