I thought I would create a thread relating to School and University/College. It's not so much about exams or tests, but about school life in general.

First of all, I'll just tell you. I'm in Secondary School, and I must say, although I've never been seriously bullied (occasionally teased), I think a lot of the learning co-ordinator's/heads of year don't tackle bullying enough, despite a NO BULLYING policy. I've never blamed people for taking stuff into their own hands, because they don't receive any help.

Also, one problem I occasionally face in day to day school life; is teachers. Fair enough I'm considered a bright young man, but my teachers often see me as an opinionated, sackless idiot. The problem is, going back to learning co-ordinator's, if you stand up to a teacher whose having a go at you, they don't care about the way they verbally abused you, they punish you for standing up to them.

Anybody think similar on the way schools these days work?
