The worst thing about your College/6th Form is...?

loopylouise

Chavs, emus (emos) and other wannabes

the fact that said little pricks sit around the sixth form area with their loud, conflicting and generally rather crap music blaring all over the bloody place when I'm trying to either read, work or have a frickin conversation.

See, we used to complain about the no-music rule basically because we thought it would be preferable to screaming and shouting but on 2nd thoughts...

Our common room is technically a "learning centre" :rolleyes:

which means none of the perks you'd expect in 6th form... microwave, kettle, CD player even a TV in some schools.
Oh and and other pet hate - PSHE. Why? :mad:

* Getting up at 6:50 and coming home at 6 on all but one day :frown:

* Having my life controlled by the times of a certain transportation system..

* THE BLOODY LIFT SYSTEM !! It takes AAAAGES !!! And I ain't climbing 7 flights of stairs !! *riled*

* Key Skills ! I mean LOL, what on EARTH is it for ?

Nothing else I can think of !! :biggrin:

Our Sixth Form area has none of those things either...well, a TV to broadcast school announcements but that's hardly rivetting and I think PSHE was concocted to stop the teachers breaking things in bordom during their frees...or maybe not...

Our School has from year 7 up to sixth form,but the sixth form building is a bit faraway from all the kids.
But I hate having to SQUEEEEZE through all the crowds to get to lessons. And it takes ages to walk from the 6th form block to classes which are on the other side of the "campus".
Also The tuckshop sitting area used to be just for 6th formers and year 11's but now its full of year 8's,9's and 10's...You get a headache after a minute of being in there.

Our 6th form kitchen also sucks because its full of people who give you evils if you think about entering there. Only "popular" kids allowed.

Loads of homework. And our IB suite doesn't not have enough LAN cables so we end up fighting for laptop space and LAN cables for the Internet or games.

I once just my own LAN cable and pluged it in the main hub (smartest, dumest thing i've ever done), got SUPER fast internet, own cable, no one to fight, apart from the evil polish woman that runs the liberary. MAN, she hates me.

Now can't use the suite for a week.

The staff are really bitchy and patronising. (Not the teachers but the library and receptionists etc.)

Hmm...

* The fact that we can't go home/come in late during our frees; apparently, Year 12s can't be trusted that they will do work during frees so are forced to stay in school. :rolleyes:

Today I came home early anyway, because who on earth can stay at school on a Friday afternoon? :p:

* The mess that is the common room! Nuff said.

* Crap biology department; there is one teacher who is nice but can't teach; and another teacher who talks about 120 words per second.

-Having to register every day morning and afternoon even if you have 3 frees in a row from the begnning of the day :rolleyes:

I know

Darn them, I could sleep in on a Monday ... but no :mad:

-I was going to complain about how private study is too tense, but this year we all seem to be able to talk and do whatever we want :confused:

Not any more :frown:

She's started telling us to 'SHUSH' :rolleyes:

-The common room music :rolleyes:

though I don't go there anyway so I'm not complaining :p:

Oh lord above, that's terrible. :\ And the fact we have to get outside to actually be able to hear each other speak... so if it's raining, we can't socialise.

[*]With the new Headmaster has come such brilliant new rules such as the 'no-unnecessary contact' rule. Pupils may not hold hands or hug. Not even in a friendly way. No touching, or an hour after school

Ah, my old school tried to do that back in Yr 10... big load of crap it was too. People hugged just for the sake of it :rolleyes:

.

Our new school rules. We aren't allowed to wear ANY makeup at all or we get detention... for like CONCEALER!! Its so crap.

And that our school told us they were really strict about people entering sixth form and if you didnt get the grades you weren't allowed back in. But even all the GCSE wasters who failed most of their exams and never turned up for lessons were allowed back in. Chuhh.

OMG, that is rather stupid. Your practically adults, surely you are allowed to wear concealer. Do people do it anyway, because i doubt teachers would care about concealer, some might even let you off with full make up. Have you tried going in with full make up? :p:

Thats like a death sentence in our school. I get screamed at and got a detention for wearing concealer and mascara. Was totally raging... ITS ONLY CONCEALER AND MASCARA oh, because i wear make-up, clearly it means I'm going to fail??!!! What a stupid, pathetic rule. Eurgh,I'm annoyed.

Massively oversubscribed because it is extremely popular. 1600 students

We have well over 2000! It's the only college in the county that offers A-levels, and there are only two schools with a sixth form, both of which are in small towns.

The thing I hate is that there are too many international Chinese students. I don't mind the international students, except there are so many Chinese ones (they're often the majority of the class) who flat out refuse to talk in English, let alone socialise with the the home students. It makes me mad because they come here, they don't make the slightest attempt to fit into our culture or use our language, all they're here for is to apply to Oxbridge. Most of them act like the rules never apply to them too and just ignore anyone who tells them off. The Russian, Vietnamese, Indian, etc. international students all smile and say hi, but only a couple of the Chinese students will.

I also hate the people who stop and have a conversation on the stairs. There's plenty of space, there's no bloody need to cause a load of congestion when several hundred people need to go up those stairs to get to their lessons just so you can chat about what you did last night!

I understand what you're saying here. A few chinese people in my maths class just click their fingers when they want the teachers attention. Although this may just be an isolated case.

This whole issue about mass in a catholic college is getting far too distracting for me. Yes, I accept we have to do General Re and quiet time at the start of the lessons but not mass that's going too far and including kids who are catholics say it is too far and they came from catholic schools.
