What kind of school do you go to? How strict is it? What year are you in? And most importantly, do you like your principal? All school related stuff goes here. I love learning about other peoples schools 😂

I go to public school, I’m in middle school, and I haven’t really met my principal yet so 🤷‍♂️

I will update on principal later

Oh nice! I go to public school, I’m in secondary school and I have conversations with my principal like every day. I think I’m her favourite 🤩

Haha nice I hope my principal will like me 😬

I go to a public school, I’m in secondary school

Most of my school are Muslims, so thankfully it means that I don’t face any discrimination compared to other schools

I’m sure they will, Matty! Oh that’s good Zara. Discrimination is horrible🤮

Oh yeah yikes 🤢

I mean my head teacher likes me but that’s probably because I’ve given her cupcakes 😂

Hahaha good move teacher bribery heheheheeheheheeeeeeeeeeee

I love my teachers!!!! And I know they love me!!!

…

But maybe that’s because they’re my parents…

I’m homeschooled!!! I can’t give away my year though, sorry. But I can tell you that I’m either in middle school or the beginnings of high school. I don’t have a principal… And it’s totally not strict!

Nice! Being homeschooled would be cool

Is is really cool!

I’m in middle school, I’m gonna change schools for next year so I don’t know much bout it except that I’m gonna die wearing the schools new uniform. I hate the shoes, I’d even wear a skirt instead of the black Sandals I’m gonna have to wear. 🥺

I go to a private school too. Here it's still lockdown so no school right now. Online classes are going on though. Extremely, utterly, completely boring....

I think I'm older than a lot of you... I'm going to my local community college. I think I'm technically considered a sophomore in college but I started at this school back when I was 16, so I'm about to start my fifth year there. It's nice to be in college because you have so much flexibility in what courses to take and you can use ratemyprofessor so that you make sure you have good professors

I looked at the title and thought about a poem I wrote because it’s also titled school 🏫

Haha nopeeee 😂

I am in middle school. My dad is the AD so I already know all my teachers and where to go.

Wow! That’s amazing. I am famous for being the know it all. Like I actually know more about the school than some of the teachers

Haha wow

I am too. I am directing EVERYONE somewhere, and everybody likes being my partner for something because they think I'm smart.

Haha everyone thinks I’m smart too 🤷‍♂️

I’m pretty comfortable with my school because I was there for four years. Then in fifth grade we were supposed to move to the fifth block . I’m not at all familiar with the middle school buildings yet though

Same with me Maura! I’m glad I’m not the only one

I just finished school this may!! I was in year 11 and I’m going to be starting sixth form in a few weeks :) I think I’m going to stay at the same school for sixth form, but I haven’t properly decided yet. I got my gcse results a few days ago and I got an 8 and 9 (8=A* and 9= bit higher than an A*, for people not in the UK aha) in English Literature and language!! It’s the only thing I’m going to flex from now on 😎😎😎

My old school is honestly so lovely!! I big them up so much aha. The teachers are so supportive, the people there are actually nice and it’s just a nice environment to be in :) I definitely wouldn’t have gotten an 8 and 9 if it wasn’t for my English teacher’s encouragement and support! And overall it’s just a very chill school, like it’s not strict or anything so there’s a comfortable atmosphere <3

Wow that’s amazing! My school is very strict but everyone’s nice so I don’t mind one bit. I love all of the teachers. Luckily I’ve only just started this school so I’ve got 4 more years to go yay! And congrats on those amazing gcse results!

AAAAAH CONGRATULATIONS

My target grade for every subject is an 8, and for some subjects I have no idea how I’ll get to that grade

I’m trying as hard as I can e.g. in my maths mock exam I got a 7 which I’m happy with, but then my teacher said I need to be working harder like please this year has been horrible let me be proud of something

THANKYOUUU!!

Wow!! Every subject? English is the only thing I’m good at aha, for everything else I got:

Maths - 4 (surprised I even passed this tbh)
Science - 5,4
Geography - 6
Religious studies - 5
Drama - 6
Graphic design - 6

:))

I got 4/7 in like all my subjects this year!, I barely passed

As long as you’re trying, that’s the main thing!! And a 7 is still an A! AN A IN MATHS? I wish I had your brains for maths ahahah

Exactly, they should be proud of you! I am 🥲🥲

Ugh I hate teachers like that. A 7 seven is great!

Wow are grade system is completely different! I don’t even know what you mean! 😂

It’s so strange how it all works! In England, ours go from 9 (being the top grade you can get), to U (which means ungraded)

Oh for me, it's 1-7, 7 being the highest. Or sometimes it 1-4, 4 being the highest. And on report cards it A, B, C, A+, etc. The grading system in my school's so confusing

Wow. Our Report cards are confusing. We get the percentage for the most recent summative assessment, the class average, and a grade 1-4 for our Behaviour, class work and homework. I think that’s just how my school does it. I’ll give examples of mine from last term because that makes no sense whatsoever.

Maths
Test score: 90%
Class average: 69%
Behaviour: 4
Class work: 4
Homework: 4

French
Test score: 97%
Class average: 92%
Behaviour: 4
Class work:4
Homework:4

oooh that's interesting

For us it's just marks and grades are A+, A, B+, B etc. So when a paper comes back, we have it out of a number of marks (30) and we get some number (let's take 28). My grade will be A+

I'm not sure about report cards- we're going to have new ones this October I think.
