TY 12/13 OFF-TOPIC thread

Expect my posts in this thread to be full of expletives.
One day in and I'm already feeling that TY is a load of #!*%.
A) They assigned all the c*** teachers to TY classes out of the way of J.C and L.C. Thanks to the strength of unions they can't fire them. The previous principal, who tried to get rid of a really bad teacher, and tried to enforce a proper dress code for teachers, was shot down by the other teachers and went on sick leave for ~2 years. Rumor has it legal action will ensue, if you pardon the pun.
I'm bored as hell already. There's just enough work to prevent yourself from falling asleep.
Guess this'll be the year where I teach myself everything...

Oh Hai, this thread isn't going to be full of expletives because if it is, you'll be banned. Don't mean to be such a downer, but it's just not on.
Anyway, if you're finding it boring already, start pursuing something you dont already do, learn to program, read a lot (You will literally never run out of books to be read).
To everyone here: TY is what you make of it, dont expect much from the school, some schools have awful TY programs, some have fantastic ones. If your school has a bad one, you're going to have to make sure you dont have a bad year.0 -

I apologise if I was too subtle. This was meant to be a sarcastic and unhappy way of saying that I was dissatisfied with how TY was being run in my school. Upon mature reflection, I should perhaps have added "/frustrated" to the end of that sentence, symbolising my unhappiness but also showing that I would not really be posting expletives in this thread.Anyway, if you're finding it boring already, start pursuing something you dont already do, learn to program, read a lot (You will literally never run out of books to be read).dalta5billion wrote: »Guess this'll be the year where I teach myself everything...
I thought I implied in my closing sentence there that although I was unhappy with the school's end of things, I could make TY what I wanted it to be. "teach myself everything". That's what I meant that I would do. But I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. In my opinion there's only so much you are able to do when a teacher requires you to do pointless work which they are well aware is intended only to occupy rather than to engage.
I'm sure I'll get a lot out of TY with regard to things I teach myself using extra time and on work experience etc, but when you're tied up for ~7 hours a day with about 40 minutes on average being beneficial, I despair a little. And, being an OT thread, I used it to vent a little.
Shall I take up debating?

Sadly sarcasm doesn't transmit so well over the internet.
Go take up debating, also take up not being a smartarse with mods? I'm only here to stop stuff being derailed... End of

Don't mean to be a downer, but already I find TY very boring. I generally despise going back to school after the holidays, but in this case, I thought I'd be happy starting again, but not really, it just seems very drawn out and long. But alas, it is only the first day after all, and it will probably get better.
Anyways, I have a question: I'm lucky enough to have a job already after school, but I was wondering if you think it's a smart idea that I get another job during the day (basically instead of school for about 2-3 of the 5 days of the week). I just find TY a bit boring and have started thinking that I might as well be using these hours to make some money and perhaps take a financial burden off my parents a bit.
My school already gave us the talk of, "If you miss more than 20 days The Board of Management would be contacted blah blah blah..." But I think that's just a talk to scare us off a bit from my mindset.
Who knows, I may be extremely arrogant here, but any feedback is welcome. Sorry for the long thread-like reply.
P.S. I know this is an OT Thread, but I don't want to go to the bother of making a new thread.

It's not arrogant, but you probably wont be allowed do it.
Ask your principal whether you'd even be allowed do it, in all likelyhood, there'll be a myriad of reasons why you cant 0 -

I can't independently verify this, :P, but a guy in our school a few years back didn't come in for the entire TY year. Apparently he was working for a game development house.
Anyways, is your w.e. one day a week or block weeks? If it was one day a week they might allow you to work that day?
I feel your pain bro, it's feeling like third year without the homework... 0 -

Not as much metal as rock or grunge though (Even though they could be counted as the same thing by some)
Apt username :rolleyes:
Either way, probably not what I'd look for, but yeah, a lot seemto like it :P NEver got the whole screamo thing though? Especially when people say that pop music "isn't music" yet screamo is

Right, if you're gonna be using this forum, you're not going to be misusing genres!
Screamo doesn't describe everything with a bit of shouting in it, it's a subset of emo. Emo is a sort of subset of post-hardcore, which oddly came from hardcore.
Example of a great song that happens to fall into the screamo label:
etc, etc.
Here's a great song, it's irrelevant but great.
