can someone say to me if they have used SOH CAH TOH in any part of there life within the last 4-8 years?

No, you'll find that with most of what you learnt at school/uni.

 

Depends. 

 

If you're a lawyer, then much of what you learnt has relevance. Same for a doctor, same for a teacher, shall I go on?

 

No need to go on.

I said most, for a lawyer - most of what they learn't won't be relevant.

A teacher - the majority.

IT programming - most of what they learn't won't be relevant.

etc

 

Fine...

Agree with what..

1. I'm not failing in life and at no point said I was, due to school

2. It's not about a piece a paper, it's about telling a 14/15 year old you saw him do something when you didn't knowing full well he's strong minded enough to answer back.. It's not my character to accept being told I'm wrong when I know I'm not but yet in the school system that's seen as being rude based on the biased opinion of the teacher that started it in the first place.

 

1. No one says you were...well certainly not me. 

2. What you wrote here is just unworthy of a long response. Someone else can do it.

 

 

 

I remember a few times when I challenged the teacher on some things I felt didn't make sense and it turned out I was right but because the teacher had no answer and the class found it funny, I got punished for it

Maybe the teachers at your school were calm but the majority of mine wern't, the teachers that were fair (business studies, PE) I got very good grades in but unluckily for me the most important subjects (Maths, English, science) I didn't get on with the teachers and they used me as someone to pick on when they were in a bad mood

School system is sh*t because everyone learns in different ways.. I learn by asking questions and sometimes by being proved wrong, otherwise ill just think my original thought was correct.. Some teachers understand this and take it on board but others (most) see it as class disruption and rudeness so would send me out before I got chance to sit down

Most of this is just nonsense/self-victimising.

My problem was mainly that I'd always want to ask questions and find out more, understand more but the shit teachers just wanted to get through their structured hour as easily and smooth as possible .. What makes them stupid is that they took the question I was asking as something personal to me when half the class prob wondered the same thing but were too scared to ask.. The shit teachers I'm talking about we're generally disliked by every student for 1 reason or another but obviously the more opinionated and outspoken students suffered and the quieter 1s slipped under the radar...

Bare in mind my art teacher showed up to every parents evening drunk and nothing was done about it and 1 of the science teachers (who I didn't have) turned out to be a peado

My point was teachers aren't watched closely enough.. All sorts can go on in a classroom and their word is final and backed by higher authority regardless of how right or wrong it is.

The problem is that teaching isn't a serious profession in this country.

Most of us academically gifted will not see1k so called pagan teachers and to blame.

Ask most who did well in school and most will have Nothing but great things to say about thier teachers.

Only the dunces/disruptive children will be claiming this.

You sound like a teachers pet

I weren't.

I just wanted to learn have fun at lunchtimes /break and then go home.

Disruptive kids usedd to annoy the hell out of me.

Constantly seeking lols.

Just sit down listen and then the lesson is finished.

Only really experienced this in set 2 for maths everything else I was top set and as such the disruptive kids were minimal.

I was no Angel but I understood when to shut up when talking weren't necessary

Nah was disruptive kids in my science, maths and English set 1s,but the difference is you could afford to be disruptive and get sent out if you were smart

Can't be disruptive when you are in set 3 or 4

All the smart but consistently disruptive people in my year ended up with Bs and Cs instead of the As and Bs they should have got but the people in the lower sets who were always disruptive and trying for constantly lols didn't get the Cs and Ds they should have got and instead ending up with Es and fails

Some people just like to take things too far, education can be your passport out of any economical environment but a lot of people chose to look past that because being smart wasn't "cool"

People can sing hard knock life all day long but only a few can sit there and say the school system failed them, they let themselves be failed be failed by the school system

I used to be all socialist about this and defend all my friends who fucked around in school and either got low grades or got kicked out of school

But now some of my friends who were in that situation are sitting in 25k jobs not far into adulthood because they didn't want to be the guys sitting outside the bookies talking about the school system is built against the black man

Gotta c/s John doe on this

same, pretty sure I was a top-3 academic achiever in my year, but I took an Oxford test and got stumped almost immediately, my school didn't even offer Further Maths which put me at a disadvantage with applications (though tbh I got into all except Oxford) and also put me at a disadvantage when I started uni

 

but there was no aspiration to go to uni other than because I didn't know what else I'd do and didn't wanna be a full-time retail employee, it wasn't "I want to go to uni because then I can do ______"

 

only seemed to be grammar schools and private schools that try to instil that aspiration for high academic achievement, otherwise that's left to the parents
