<p>Rowdy Classes are the sheer reason that I want to get the hell out of high school. Sometimes I wonder if I’m in class, or at a nightclub.
In my APUSH class, for example, there are these two kids who are really obnoxious and they always get the whole class all reved up. People are always running around on top of desks, blasting their ipods,throwing stuff across the room (paper airplanes, pencils, etc.) yelling, pushing/shoving, and lining up at the door 20 minutes before class ends, while texting and yelling amongst eachother before completely sassing out the teacher when asked to sit down, only to get written up and escorted to the office by an Administrator. Some AP class, huh?</p>
<p>Anyone hate rowdy classes too?</p>
<p>Sounds like my Spanish III class.</p>
<p>My APUSH class is awesome though. We’re all nerds who actually care about what we’re learning.</p>
<p>I think I’m the one of the few people in my USH class that actually studies and reads the textbook. The rest share answers to last years’ tests via facebook. :/</p>
<p>sounds like my chinese and apush classes. those kids don’t want to learn and have no respect for the poor teachers! i feel bad for those teachers.</p>
<p>Sounds like my history, english and bio class. They’re all “honors” students who don’t act it. Only in the class to be with friends.</p>
<p>Sounds like my History class. It’s impossible to concentrate in that class!</p>
<p>my teachers would beat the **** out of kids that did…or at least they would send them to the principal who would send them to the parents who would</p>
<p>usually we have this black guy that gets on to the black kids lol</p>
<p>Our school’s honors (this year, college) classes usually behave pretty well. We only have one AP class, which is new this year: AP Biology. Its workload is so intense that half the class dropped out the first week, and the rest of us constantly have our nose to the grindstone, so obviously no one is the type of person to screw around. </p>
<p>HOWEVER, in my SUPA English class (SUPA = Syracuse University classes for a school which is too darn stubborn to give up the SUPA system in favor of the much-more-useful-for-colleges-AP-system. In other words, all the work of an AP and none of the profit), there is a boy who I will call E. E is mentally handicapped - I think he’s autistic, but I’m not sure. During a typical class period, E will shout out answers and/or statements which have little relevance to anything in the class material. He will shout them out at random intervals whether or not the teacher asks and whether or not the teacher/someone else is talking. Here is a typical exchange:</p>
<p>(Teacher) “Class, so what is Woolf’s thesis in this essay about oppression of women?”
(E) “That being a playwright in the 16th century sure bit the big one! They had to stable horses and scrub playhouse floors and-”
(Teacher) “You’ve done some good work today, E; does anyone ELSE have anything to say?”</p>
<p>“You’ve done some good work today, E” is our teacher’s way of saying, “Shut up, E”. Needless to say, we hear that phrase pretty much every class. When E is not contributing to class discussions, he wears a set of headphones - headphones which are illegal to wear during school hours (and they’re not because he’s handicapped). The teacher constantly asks him to take them off; he will take them off for about 30 seconds and then put them back on. To date, he has never handed in an essay on the day it was due; when we write timed essays, he drums his fingers and stares into space. I have no idea how he is still in the class; judging by how exasperated our teacher gets, I don’t think she does either. </p>
<p>I guess this isn’t a “rowdy” class so much as it’s a “grinding our teeth and covering our ears because of one rowdy kid” class. I get that the school’s trying to be “inclusive”, but it doesn’t keep the entire class from tearing our hair out.</p>
<p>Most of my classes this year are pretty focused, since it’s senior year and thus the teachers are more experienced and won’t put up with that immaturity. But sophomore and a class in junior year, my goodness these young teachers just need to grow a spine and get their classes together. It’s just sad.</p>
<p>None of my classes are like that. Exact opposite for my APUSH classes… Were all like friends with our APUSH teacher, who is really strict and we make terrible jokes and bad puns. He entertains us by pretending to crush a bug on the floor, and hes like, “kill GPA, kill GPA” hehe since were all have GPA’s between 3.6-4.0.</p>
<p>Sounds like my sophomore English II Honors class.</p>
<p>What I hate the most isn’t the annoying students doing it, it’s the teachers that put up with it.</p>
<p>Most (all?) of my classes are not rowdy at all. We crack quite a few jokes, but we don’t turn the room into a zoo.</p>
<p>One of my friends has an awful history class, though.</p>
<p>Sometimes they’re fun, but only if it’s one of those days where everyone’s completely out of it. Otherwise, the teacher needs to buck up and control his or her class.</p>
