But, like in the Grand National, it has happened before...
Yeah that'll be a better choice

My reasoning is I'll do far better in a class with intelligent people, who all picked the subject for a challenge (unlike in a subject like Maths where they are only there because they are clever enough, but really would rather be with their friends in another set!), than in a class where there is every type of person known to man.

Yeah as I doubt people who can't do Maths would choose Economics.

Haha - If that did happen all of the attention would be on them as they wouldn't be able to do anything!

If I see a wide selection of them sitting at the computers, all in a row, I'll shoot myself.

Am I the only one who thinks it's harsh that schools punish children for going to the toilet in lessons?
Thankfully I've never been in that situation, but I can help but feel it's a bit unfair, in this day and age anyway, never mind the past; that kids are punished for going to pass waste: a basic human right...

Regarding your first point, I think that happened once a few years ago sadly...
It is a basic human right though, isn't it? And by preventing this, aren't they technically breaching it?
I know the school can set it's own rules, and has the power to do so; but I haven't and never will think it's right...

In my school; we practically have to commute like Londoners on the Tube between rooms.
Not very easy when you can't walk down a certain stairway at the top of the building around the Science rooms, you've then got a huge traffic jam at the foot of the main staircase, and then you can't walk down the main corridor in a certain direction (if you're heading to the very bottom Maths classrooms, and you've come from the top - you have to walk all the way around the outside of the building in any weather!) and you're meant to be at the food room, hidden beneath the tech block!

Well, one of the girls I constantly complain about disrupting lessons is not allowed to pick her own GCSEs. Ha.
Brought it upon herself. Most of it; it's actually her teachers telling her she can't on recommendation - for example she ruined Food for us by always forgetting her equipment, and the teacher went into hysterics with laughter when she asked 'miss, da ya reckon 'a can take Food?'...

Got a rather funny remark from my maths teacher today...regarding toilets in lessons.
'Marcus, it's to teach kids to manage their spare time well. Do ya think if a guy's in the cab of a Edinburgh-Newcastle express train, and in the middle of the journey thinks ''alright I'm just going for a waz'', they'd look very good when the train crashes and kills 250 people?'

What would the school say if you said you had given up homework for lent? Its a perfectly viable reason...

School is easy.
If you ever progress into further, higher or postgraduate education, you'll realise just how easy it is.

What's the point of being told off by the rozzers about not being in school, when I don't have one? Like, really? I have tuition on Wednesdays and Fridays, and I get the bus there. I don't want to talk to you because I need to get the bus to my school you d!ckhead.
Very annoying sometimes.

Senior staff would probably claim you were taking advantage of it.

Does anyone, in school now, have any teachers or staff who really take advantage and abuse their power?

Then they'd be the devil trying to tempt us to stop giving up what we gave up which would make me continue with it for the whole period

He's right, I look back to even just last year and realise how little I did, and how easy everything was, ccompared to now when I do work every night and get far lower grades... Wish I could go back now and tell myself to relax a bit

Not really, there are staff that I look at however, and think "how on earth did you get to where you are" because they're clearly not very good at what they are meant to be doing...
