(21 Aug 2014, 8:12 pm)mb134 I find it weird that me and most of my friendship group get along with teachers as you've described and can have conversations with some of them that other students wouldn't dare have in a million years. Whereas quite a few of the people in my year make it their mission to cause as much disruption as possible... I don't know whether it was our year group or the teachers that we've had but certainly in my time there it has felt much more friendly than first and middle school, which for some strange reason made me happy, not only for myself today, but for the teachers also as without them I know I wouldn't have had the motivation or belief to have got the grades I did.
Which I guess shows that no matter how much natural talent you have for something, as long as you have support and motivation you'll do well, regardless of how good your school is 
I wouldn't dare back chat a teacher - they all hate me as it is anyway!
