Hi! I'm new
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Hi! I'm new
Hi! I'm new here to Chatterbox so I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but I'm going to try. So, here it is:
I feel that in Massachusetts our schools are lacking in just about everything. There is poor communication, awful experiences, and no authority. The teachers let everyone run wild, and we don't learn anything. And, to top it all off, we're eight weeks behind what we're supposed to be learning because kids in my class don't behave. Please post bad experiences at school or if you think I'm wrong, or something.
How was that? Well, bye.
Welcome to Chatterbox, S.E. I live far from Massachusetts, S.E., and I'm sorry to hear what you say about its schools. I would hope that what you described is not true for all schools in the state and that people are working to improve any schools that are deficient. I believe that every child in the whole world should have access to the very best teachers, schools, technology and other supplies.
Yes, you commented correctly, especially by beginning with "I feel," realizing that there may be others who think differently.

Hi S.E.! I'm Blonde Heroines Rule. I'm a Merlinian, Top Gear fanatic, PJO and Warehouse 13 fangirl who is commonly known for dying, and just a nerdy, weird, socially inept nutcase. Anyhoot, welcome to the CB!
I personally homeschool, which works really well for me. But that sounds perfectly aggravating! I've had situations like that, and it infuriates me because I'm ready to move on, but others are too immature to respect others and the absolute blessing it is to be given a chance to learn. The best I recommend is to keep trying your best, and be an example to others. I'm sorry you're so behind, truly. I can seriously relate, and it ALWAYS drives me insane! But like I said, keep striving, and God will bless that.

I've always wanted to be homeschooled! My teachers/parents/guidance counseler are thinking of skipping me a grade, but I still think the schools are poorly run.

That would be cool if you could! That way you could graduate earlier too.

Hi S.E.!!!!! Welcome the Chatterbox! I'm Ivy, the Merlinian, Whovian, Potterhead and Oncer! That means that I LOVE Merlin, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Once Upon a Time. I love to read and write. My favorite books beside Harry Potter are the Percy Jackson series, The Kane Chronicles, The Heroes of Olympus, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel, The Books of Bayern, and waaaayyyy to many more to list. I'm a dancer. I do Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Contemporary. My other hobbies include singing, Rubik's cubing, climbing things, laughing, and lots of other stuff I can't think of right now.
Once again, Welcome to the Chatterbox!

I personally don't like H. Potter or any of Rick Riodan's work, but that is just me.

I have a similar situation.
I used to be homeschooled.
IT WAS AWESOME!! But now I go to an online public school.
It's not as easy as it looks.
But if I went to school, I'd either go to this one school, which my best friend goes to, (it's AWESOME!!) or the school in my community center.
The rooms are trashed, the kids scream and run wild, and the teachers lie to the students.
Once I went to a class there, and the teacher said that everyone who was good would get a goody bag at the end of class. I was the only good kid, and she said that only I would get one.
She left, right after the class. We didn't even go outside like she promised, and she would only give us LITERALLY 10-second break.
I didn't care about the goody bag, but I was mad that she LIED flat out to the kids.
I never went to that class again.
If everyone could discipline their children before sending them to school, not send them to school to discipline them, I think that the school environment would be a lot better.

Hey! Welcome to the Chatterbox! I am Melody, the Disney obsessed one! I am also from Massachusetts, from a city just north of Boston (can't say which for privacy reasons). I actually know where Woburn is! You probably are the CBer who lives closest to me, besides my sister.
I also go to public school in MA, and I would have to say that there are some parts to our school systems that are bad. There are most definitely some students that are bad and bring others down. But you find that in every school. We have actually have the best standardized test scores in the country (so they consider us to have the best education). Although the MCAS are wicked annoying. I'm so happy they're replacing them.

MCAS is annoying! But my school has pretty good scores, considering everyone in my class got fail, needs improvement, or the other thing. Well, I got a perfect score on the reading, math, and long comp (4th grade) but who cares, right?

I got a perfect score on the English once and I tend to get perfect score on math often. This year is hopefully the last year I have to take it.
