Do you get grinds?

CookieMonster.x

Just wondering how many get grinds here. I get them for maths, my teacher's terrible :mad:

Luno

I don't get them but I know so many people who get them in Irish and Maths.
It wouldn't hurt if I got them but tbh, there expensive €40 euro an hour? No thanks!

I just couldn't be bothered.If I ned any help I just usually ask my brother or someone when he comes home from college at the weekends.He's studying maths so it's kinda handy.

Well i have got the best results in every proper exam (summer and christmas of each year) in my year since i joined the school. I even did the best entrance exam.
My teachers have offered me extra homework at the pt meetings because i find "the pace and standard of the rest of the class unchallenging" i think were the words of my business teacher

and yes i realise i sound like an asshole here but i'm really a nice person

Luno

Nah, be loud and proud about it Jack! You can put us all to shame when were discussing JC results!

Ah extra homework, I used to get offered it loads in first year! How things have changed If only I had taken the extra work maybe I wouldn't be so lazy!

Are there any people here who are not as smart?

We're so similar.I ruined my record last summer though.I think I'm back oin track now though.Me and my best friend get nearly the same kind of mark in every test so every summer and christmas we're always trying to beat each other.

Of course you are!:) I always think there are two types of smart:

1) Academically Smart

2) Life Smart

Out of the two, being smart in life is the better one. You could know how to turn a parametric equation into a Cartesian form, know when Shakespeare's 'Globe' burned down and know how to Japanese fluently. However, none of this counts for anything if you aren't smart in life. If you know right from wrong, treat people with respect and stick to you principles-that's all the level of intelligence you need!

Some people are blessed with a mixture of both, some aren't-but that's life!

Grinds are unfair for the people who can't afford the actual help they need.

I'm not giving out about the peple who deserve/need grinds because they genuinely struggle with the subject. But I've seen people start to get grinds who have the money to fork out for them who never did a tap of work in first or second year. It's a disgrace.

Education is supposed to be free.

Meh, it's life really... I can't afford grinds or anything to do with school really. I'm not bothered by it though even though I could do with the extra help for having rubbish teachers etc.
It goes for college aswell some people genuinely can't afford it so you can't exactly do much about it...
