What would you do differently if you were back in school ??

alpha2010

For me personally, I would of tried to get in a bit more trouble, and not be known as the SWOT. When I see old classmates, I'm still referred to as that Ughh It haunts me :P

Personally I liked the idea of not being a dumbass, but that's just me.

Study.

plein de force

yeah because being a brat, making trouble, therefore being disliked by teachers for your school life is so fun

Kiera

Nothing. School was great fun.

Would have convinced my english teacher that it would be really cool to read us the collected works of Walt Whitman, would have convinced my classmates to stand on their desks saying "Captain my Captain" - then I would have laughed at them for being pretentios cnuts and gone for a fap.

Probably hung around with more people in my year. Most my friends were in higher years than me, which meant I never got to truly know a lot of people in my own year

I remember I got my first and only bad note when I was in secondary, I was cool for one minute that day and it felt good :P

In a nutshell, not pick subjects that were more trouble than they were worth.

Sykk

I wouldn't have studied more.. I'd consider myself pretty successful for my age after doing **** all study in school.

Probably would have just appreciated not having much responsibilities, spent more time with mates and less on the computer.

From what I gather you don't regret anything?? Pardon my french.

I would do a lot of things differently If were back in School. Mainly have decided to do a different course after the leaving cert.

The french rugby song?



Or was it a woman that sang it in the 40s or 50s or something?

Yes it is i think don't know who she is....heard it being sung on tape when on a boat along the seine in paris.

ohh yeah its edith piefs song I think. I didn't notice the lyrics

Wazdakka

I don't think I would have done anything differently really...

I wasn't the most social but not the least and I had a pretty good group of friends.
Not the most academic but not the least by far and I was happy with the course I got into in college.

I wasn't the biggest trouble maker but ...... Ah.. That's what I'd change.
I'd try to not get expelled a month before the leaving Cert..

forgot about that...:o

Neither - it was written last year for specsavers.

I would have cheated much, much more now that I've learned cheating is just research and making sure your writing down the correct answer.

no1beemerfan

There was this girl (or two!) that I would make a pass at. I was very shy in school but loved it all the same.....I'd love to go back.

alpha2010

ohh I just realised, I should of used google translate. God I remember sitting up late at night trying to translate soo much French and Irish work and in the end it made no difference whats so ever

They just forgot to teach you grammar?

kfallon

I did French for 8 years between school and college, waste of bloody time if you ask me, never use the damn thing.

However if you do go to France these two phrases should help you out of any situation:

Ou est la confiture

Passez-moi le poulet

I know i was just crap at it and starting right from scratch whereas i had a small bit of cop on when it came to football, knowing the rules for a start. To this day i believe i'd still be playing football if i did it in school. Not at a high level but a level better than jumpers for goalposts:(

ahh yeah I get what you mean, sure you can always start up football any time, you probably won't play in the premiership but sure you can try out for the local team unless your 80 years of age

I wouldn't have been such a smart arse.
On the 8th of January 1991 I learned that teachers do not like it when you constantly correct them, and then laugh derisively at them.

It was a valuable life lesson.

I would have kept a bit quieter so as not to show so obviously my nerdy side.

agreed - rugby is just big people running, no skill whatsoever.

Sleep with the hundreds of attractive Eastern European and African girls that no doubt attend the school now.

Liberally avail of the Lidl that now stands beside the school for cheap lager.

I would have made better friends, and stopped trying so hard at everything.
