Nah, I believe it's referring to the difference between "book smarts" and "street smarts."

Thats a pretty big jump, from elementary straight to high school?

I'm a junior, and I find that the advanced classes; APs, Honors, etc. with the higher grades are filled with the kids that want to succeed in life, and it shows.



And if you mean street smarts, define what you mean by that.

This really isn't all that uncommon, your school might just be lower than average.

Same thing in Britain too. The people who want to succeed and learn shut up and listen.

My friend in a lower set said

"My maths teacher cannot control us, the class."

To which I wanted to reply (but didn't because he's my friend):

"Why should the teacher have to control you?"

My maths set is fine. We learn and chat and have fun. Yes, fun in maths. Our teacher is a legend however teachers will only be nice to classes who are nice to him/her.

My calculus teacher is a pretty smart guy.


The first day we had homework due, he told us he doesn't collect or check the homework often. He said, "Oooh, you didn't do your homework, congratulations to the 3 or 4 of you who will probably pass this class with a B or higher after a whole year of cheating. This is a class for people who want to learn, this is advanced, for people planning on going to college, and if you "cheat" every night on your homework, good job, you made it to the most advanced math class, an optional class, to cheat. But if you cheat, you're only affecting yourself, and there is really no reason for you to be in here if you don't want to do the work."


And I agree, after a certain age, when dealing with a group of kids that want to be successful, the teacher shouldn't have to enforce the work as much, an advanced, optional class is filled with students who willingly took the class, knowing they wanted this to be better prepared for college.

So its true, there are probably a few students in every class who are going to get that great label, "A" on their progress reports, and their parents will be proud, but it isn't going to matter unless they earned that grade through actual work and learning.

For the most part, yeah. There are a few teachers who I feel only teach as a job, and it ends there, but I've gotten lucky with having quite a few teachers who want to go beyond that.

This is the first time I've had that teacher, and I really like him, probably the best math teacher I've had.

My teachers care.

If I walk into a classroom with any of my teachers feeling even a tiny bit upset one of them will pick it up and ask me what's wrong.

If I'm stuck they'll sit down and talk me through it until I know what I'm doing.

They teach my classes in the way we want to be taught. With respect and maturity which is something you don't really find in lower sets because people want to be 'rebels.' Teachers aren't there to be harassed, they are there to help you succeed in life.

Perhaps I'm just quiet and a 'good' student because both my parents are teachers and I've seen what happens off the stage when teachers are pushed past breaking point.

I guess I'm just really unlucky, or something

School's good for me. Last two years we (my form) were complete rebels, but now we're starting our GCSE's we've all calmed down and realised this is our future we're potentially messing up.

If you get bad teachers they can ruin your subject and make your life a misery...

My french teacher (who was french) destroyed my confidence in the language and as a result I went from a 7a (NCA levels for americans, they go up 8a and each number has 3 letters 7a 7b 7c 6a 6b 6c etc) to a 3a (aka primary school level)
