Original OP by THRILLHO

Too much negativity on this board. Things That Shit Me thread is up to Part 6 and there isn't anywhere to post good stuff that happens.

You're all a bunch of angry, negative pricks! ​

Did you actually have to attend the interviews? My mum never made me.

Shit no. I'd wait at home like a man on death row.

Some parents here take their kids. I think it would be like over 50% too.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I remember going with my parents. They don't do that all through high school right? I think year 7 or 8 was the last of them.

Nah 7-12. It is optional tho.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Ah ok. Parents gave up early I guess.

 

[Quivorir]

My parents gave up pretty quick too. Constant "has all the potential in the world but gets distracted easily" probably wears thin pretty quick. Funnily enough though that still applies today.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Haha. The old 'gets distracted easily'. Must have got that on 90% of report cards.

 

[Shell]

I was the "good student just needs to speak up more/ask more questions in class" student. Every single report card, except media funnily enough. Could not shut me up in that subject.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Media was a fun class. Apart from the day they made us watch every TAC commercial.

 

[Quivorir]

My problem was (and I am not trying to pump my own tyres up here) I was too smart. I finished everything really quickly and it was not challenging and the teachers gave me nothing else to do, so I distracted others.

 

[Croweater]

you are the worst kind of person if you do that

Agreed. Can't stand that kind of thing either. Cheap pricks.

Yeah I had that comment on my reports in Year 11 and 12 Maths. The bludge maths.. not the smart maths. But I didn't distract anyone

yep, had similar problems. it made me lazy

 

[Off The Couch]

I did okay on core subjects

It was the micky mouse subjects I bombed in
Grooming and Deportment (I couldn't walk with the book on my head)
Music
Tech Drawing
Sewing
Spent more time wagging than I did in class. My parents never even bothered showing up for interviews - said it was me letting myself down, not them, so they weren't going to care if I didn't

 

[Shell]

**** I was so shit at wood work, textiles, etc anything practical like that and art.

Loved English Literature, Food Tech, Legal, Media, Maths and Biology. (Every other science I hated)

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

my PT interviews were always "MEB is great in class...when she turns up. She gets great marks...when she turns up. She is also v v bitchy"

 

[Shell]

Oh and languages. **** off Italian.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Yeah my parent teachers were filled with "is late too often" and "talks too much".

By year 9 my dad pleaded to me to give him at least one good parent teacher interview.

We're still waiting.

 

[Smoooothy]

musicianship and woodwork were my best subjects

I struggled to comprehend pure maths, but still passed - just

 

[Catfish Alley]

It's weird thinking back to high school. Seems so important at the time. I think you should be able to pick your classes more around year 9 rather than 11.

We got to pick from year 9 onwards. There were 3 or 4 subjects that you had to take (Maths, English) but the others were your choice.
