    Does school interfere with what you want to do on your computer? Or whatever is it that you want to do? This also includes Homework.

    School doesn't really interfere with my things I do at home, but homework does. Homework for me is one of the biggest things that will interfere with what I want to do, like playing on Starcraft with my friends, Chatting, logging on forums. It just reduces your schedule, or what you want to do to like 2 hours, which is not even enough for most people.

    Teachers that are boring in class, assign homework, the gives you a quiz on every homework assignment you have is the worst you can get.

    When I say school, I also mean work. Does your boss continuously yell at you, or make you do more work? It sucks pretty much. So does anyone have strategies to finish homework, ans study faster (This means getting your homework correct, and study plans that will help you remember better) Also what is the subject in school you have trouble with? Mine is Math, and social. :bad:

    Yuck, I hate math. I never really had any problems with it, I just hated how it's either right or wrong, 100% of the time. I'm a very free thinker. I enjoy making points, then defending them into right answers (History, English, Psych).

    Anyhoo. School never really interferes with my computer time, but that's cause I'm a mega multitasker. Even right now, I'm posting, IMing, texting, playing my bass, and doing a bit of WoW

    Multi-tasking talent is awesome... Godly

    Well lot of noise at my house, don't have a room that has a computer to help with homework, basement is scary, so its very hard to focus for me. Math I hate now, too many steps to remembers, way to many formulas to remember. Also My teacher gives a quiz to every homework assignment, checks it, and gives tests at the end of the week.

    I'd also like to ask, in the US do you have to learn about US history, but do you learn about Canadian history? In Canada we have to learn some US History, and the industry revolution.

    I usually jump back and forth between things.  Write a paragraph on an essay, post on the forums, do a few math problems, talk to someone, etc.  I actually have trouble concentrating if I don't have something going on in the background so I usually have the TV going or a movie in or something.


    Ha ha for me math is maddening for my teachers. When I was in high school I always had teachers asking me how I got from point a to point be since I can multittask so well that I often only write 2 or 3 steps on problems that require many more than that. (also my 4s look like my 9s and my 1s look like my 2s look like my 7s)

    A TV running in the back for me is fine, but family making noise, cooking noises, screaming talking... AUGH! So Hard to focus. :bad:

    I cannot say that I have learned very much about Canada's history at all (and if I have I don't remember any of it)

    As for the topic it tends to be reveresed me being on the computer tends to interfere with me doing homework. I am just lucky in the fact that alot of my grades are based on in class tests or papers so I can just do really well on those.....

    P.S. How could you hate math Fenix.... tsk tsk...... math is awsome...

    Anyway, LK, you're insane. How in the world is math awesome!?

    For the exact reason you dislike it. In math you either have the right answer or the wrong one there is no middle ground.

    EDIT: Rex I am a math genius (depending on your definition...) not a language person to me there is no difference between alot and a lot. (besides when I am getting graded by an english teacher....)

    I for one hate homework. What is the point of it when doing homework does not show how much you have learned though it has gotten better.

    In High school none of the teachers think anyone does anything other than school and they give you an hours worth of homework (per teacher) each night. At least college professors understand that students need some time to work to afford it and some leisure time so they don;t go crazy.

    Don't people go crazy/mental in collage when they do drugs, stay up late, and cram tests then worry about them? I heard it, but is it a rumor or is it true?
