<p>^Haha same here! I have no artistic ability whatsoever, which is partly why I decided not to take art this year. I do play the flute, though, and have 3 hours of orchestra every Sunday, plus I (try to) practice 2 hours a day (except that didn’t really work out today because I fell asleep after playing through all my scales - I went to sleep at 3am last night/this morning, and I don’t even know why. I didn’t have a lot of homework or anything; I’m just terrible at managing time efficiently. :()</p>

<p>I feel you man. Time management is not up my alley. I could get home at 7pm and do nothing until 11pm and still not finish my homework…</p>
<p>I have a MUN at my school but they aren’t very involved at all… So it’s kinda lame, but I might end up joining to see what it’s like! :)</p>
<p>I already debate (BP or Mace) and I’m so looking forward to next year when I’m at a school that does MUN as well! Does anyone else debate?</p>
<p>Is anyone else on here trying or planning on doing the Core 44?</p>
<p>@UKgirl23 the first debate meeting is tomorrow and I’ll be going!</p>
<p>Question- join Key Club (must commit to a minimum of 25 service hours to be a member) or become officer in HOSA?! Ahh…</p>
<p>I quit HOSA this year, but I think if you can be an officer (and actually want to be in the healthcare field one day or really enjoy the club) then become one! You don’t need a club to do community service</p>
<p>Do your teachers curve tests? Mine don’t.</p>
<p>My AP Chemistry teacher does curve, but it is an “earned curve”, which is basically really hard bonus problems the day after a test.</p>
<p>No curves, extra credit, or rounding up grades for some teachers(a 92.7 is still a B)</p>
<p>All AP classes curve tests at my school (but no one else does…) </p>
<p>My sched:</p>
<p>Wake up 5:30 ish, shower, eat breakfast, whatever. </p>
<p>Go to school 6:55-2:30ish (from when I leave my whose to when I get home)</p>
<p>Babysit 4:30-7:30 tue, wed, thu</p>
<p>Normally I eat something and start he before babysitting and take a nap (sometimes), when I get home from babysitting I normally do hw or something till 8 or 9:30… Then I go to sleep.</p>
<p>My AP Statistics teacher said that he would never curve a grade again. He said that all math teachers at UNC Chapel Hill graded math by a normal curve. The head of mathematics there would place the grades and the student IDs on a 5 page list. He would draw a line at the lower tail’s 10% and the upper tails 10%. The lower tail got an F and the upper tail got an A even though the lowest grade in the class might have been a 90, in some instances. Other times, the highest grade was a 40 and the people who got 40s got As. </p>
<p>Since then, my teacher said that he would never ever curve anything again no matter how bad the class grade was. So, in that case, I think curving grades is a BAD thing because it makes it unfair for the people who did good on the test. </p>
<p>Those of you that have taken AP Statistics would understand this better. Lol. :D</p>
<p>Teaspoons that seems ridiculously early for school, before 7?!? We start lessons at 8:50 which still seems too early to me most days :)</p>
<p>My school starts at 7:10.</p>
<p>Haha I don’t mind, I’m just do tired by the end of the day though… Some of my friends go to bed at 10 or later but I just couldn’t do that, I would not be able to function if I did. </p>
<p>Also, it’s cool if people don’t curve tests, it’s cool if they do. It depends on how hard the test is. In AP Physics everyone generally gets 60s on the test which basically gives them a b, they test is made super hard. If the test isn’t as hard, and a 100 is possible, no curve is needed. Also, nobody ever curves past a 100. Like, if Bob gets a 96 but everyone else gets a 80, the curve can only be 4 points. But that pretty much never happens.</p>
<p>None of my teachers so far this year (or last) curve test, except for one last year in Honors Bio, because the highest grade was an 87 or something. My Honors Geom teacher last year said that he would never ever curve a test because he wants us to rise to the occasion instead and meet his standards instead of worry about how other people do on the test. Even if the tests at my school WERE graded on a curve, it probably wouldn’t affect me that much b/c I usually fall on the top of the curve (note that this is not a bragging right, b/c I don’t go to a top school).</p>
<p>How are everyone’s classes so far? Mine are going great!:)</p>
<p>I know the New York State Regents has a curve, which my bio teacher discussed last year. Other than that, I dont think teachers in school curve tests. </p>
<p>I’m Pretty angry right now…just found out that my school has been getting new sports uniforms (changing colors from Green+Yellow to Green+White). Meanwhile, we had to make a few cuts (elective classes, elementary school gifted program)this year because of the budget increase cap. Yet when we’re in an economic crisis and the district needs to control spending, they still buy new sports uniforms. Absolutely ridiculous.
And my district’s motto is “Home of Good Schools” . Lol…</p>
<p>Mine have a TON of work at school and at home. Even though there is a lot of work, ALL of my classes are fun. :D</p>
<p>I am starting to like english this year! I have a great teacher!</p>
