The best thing about my school is a school environment that supports learning & social activities. My school is the venue where most of my social activities take place because it is from school activities that I hang out with mates.

I doubt I will keep in contact with my friends after HSC but I hope to continue my friendships with few.

EDIT: I don't know what it means by 'spoon-feeding'. How teachers can 'spoon-feed' you?

They do everything for you. For example: They tell you to take down these notes, you take them down. They ask you to do your homework. You do your homework. They ask you to start writing. You start writing. They tell you what to do, and you have no self direction. You're always waiting for them to tell you what to do. Not independent learning.

i agree. at our school we have two advanced english classes, and the teacher from the other class spoonfed them. in their half-yearlys pretty much everyone wrote the same thing. whereas our teacher barely tells us anything, and as a whole we performed way better than them, and had different stuff from each other.

now that teacher had to go for an operation, so they have a new teacher who doesn't tell them all the answers, and they're all like 'OMG, i'm gonna fail English'.

sure, we all like to complain about school sometimes, but its not all bad is it?
i need help seeing the bright side of school right now.

tell me guys, what's the best thing about school?
School for me is my comfort zone.. I've grown up there (somewhat), I've learnt there, had problems there, fixed problems there, I've been in trouble and I've been good.. school has been a big part of who I am.. and my friends there are like family..

And all the memories.. how could you forget them!? all the stressing over exams, the crying, the really good marks and the failing, the crushes, the rejections.. lol so many valuable moments.. So i'd say the best thing about school is memories, friends and growing :)

not everyone that is sitting the hsc wants to go to uni. if the main aim of the hsc was to prepare students for uni then it would end up being the same as university preperation course. also what you have said is a reason why it should be savoured.

Man leaving school is gonna be soo crazy...we might not realise it but we are spoonfed heaps! Even the basic structure of school adds to it, whereas you have uni where its more like "meh do whatever you want, we don't give a crap" kinda thing. damn i hope that doesnt demotivate me =P

I'm gonna miss school heaps though. It's been an awesome 6 years!
