How rough was YOUR school?

Answer 1

Mine was a good school - it was approved bum bum!

Answer 2

Living in he US and growing up in the 60's and 70's school wasn't all that rough. TODAY the schools are a whole different story. I think they are rough in just about every major city in the US. To think that you have to pass through a metal dector before entering the building. Kids bringing guns to school etc. I don't think that I would like to teach here as the fear for your life would always be there. Whatever happened to our schools as being a SAFE place where you didn't have to worry too much about your fellow classmates etc..or some physco path gunning down everyone? A lot of this boils down to one thing that has been lacking in today's society for years........Proper Parenting. I don't know what it is like in other parts of the world but I don't think I would send my child to school. Home schooling would be the best option.

Answer 3

Quite rough i guess, i remember one instance when a guys hand got hacked off with a machette by a fellow student...pretty gross...we were in the newspapers quite often for similar attacks on members of the public...but yeah there were fights everyday, teachers getting pushed down stairs, inter school and class rivalries, triads, some girl even pooed all over our science equipment.....if you knew the right people you were pretty safe though....

Answer 4

Do you mean rough as in Academic standards or rough in the sense of gangs trying to extort lunch money from across the street to the entrance?

Answer 5

Not bad, but that was over 35 yrs. ago if you are talking about high school.
I got into a fight with one little 10th grader who mouthed off at me and I am not a fighter, but I am not going to take crape either.
In elementary school, it was OK, but the school work was harder in a private school.
Public schools back then were easy. If you didn't get it, they just put you down into the lower class for math or whatever.
I wish they had stuck it out with me and encouraged me more because I wanted to go into nursing, which is very difficult.
Schools and the FCAT are all wrong. They are putting kids out of school instead of helping them. I have read some of the questions on the FCAT test here in FL and its very difficult. But just because you can't pass a test doesn't mean you can't perform the job you want to do.
I was always bad in math. But I went on and studied and studied even after I had my kids, I finally made it! And I was so proud of myself for making it all by myself.
So study study study.
Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I would not say it was actually rough, but it was TOUGH,, an ALL GIRLS school. Women are far worse then men, believe me!
Especially when there are no men about to see their bullying and activities.

And I am talking about 45 year ago!!!

Trust me - youth today did not invent anything, there is nothing NEW under the sun.

Answer 7

I wouldn't that the school I went to was rough, but you could basically do anything like put a microwave on with nothing in for like 90 minitues and get away with it!

Answer 8

Well we have two schools in one building one is the alternative schools for the bad kids and the one I'm in is the Early College High School it's this "ingenious" plan that our county did to save money. So everyday I see kids who are pregnant and Hardin criminals so the alternative school is rough but my school of 85 people isn't the biggest fight we ever had was when two geeks were horse playing and one hit the other in the nose. lol and my school got the highest EOC score in the state of NC so we get to have a "suprise" party tomorrow and get out of class!

Answer 9

my school was pretty rough... a few classmates tried friendsreunited a couple of years ago but only found 12 people, after a bit of research they stumbled on convictsreunited and found 47... i kid you not!

we passed on having a reunion as it was proving impossible to coordinate, who'd be out/in and well, some people were worried about the cancer risk if we got more than 10 electronic tags in the same room...

Answer 10

I went to a private Christian school with approximately 57 students total. So, not real rough. Schools around me, real rough!!!

Answer 11

Not in the least rough, it was a girls` grammar school, we were encouraged to act like genteel young ladies at all times. Never run , always walk, never raise your voice, be civil at all times etc etc. Life there was a real riot!
