Assassinator Wrote:I HATE the stupid rules in primary school. So lame. Listing a few, (1). u are not allowed to not wear a hat outside in the sun. If u forgot to bring ur hat, the teachers force u stay under the shae next to a pole for the whole lunch. (2). u can't eat on the ovals. (3). u are not allowed in the school building during lunch. u have to stay outside. So combine that and the 1st rule i listed, ur fudgeed if u forgot to bring a hat. And have to stand like somewhere not outside, but not inside, like at the door in the shade the whole 1 hr of lunch.

Then don't forget the hat...  It works.  Like if you forget to bring writing utensils when going to a university exam, you're stuffed too, probably more so.
I agree that some rules may be lame, but they're justifiable, and reasonable IMO.  Considering how sunny Australia is, and how easy it is to get sunburnt, always wearing a hat is logical and appropriate.
My school had quite a few shady areas - just mainly the oval you weren't allowed on.  I guess that since I wasn't very sporty (in later years, due to my vision), I didn't use the oval much, except for chasey perhaps.

There's advantages and disadvantages in that.  You can easily figure out what others are thinking, for example.  Very easy to develop a personality profile of people.

Assassinator Wrote:I ABSOLUTELY HATE the fact that for higher years like yrs 5 and 6, about 1/2 ur marks come from decoration. and u HAVE to decorate all ur peices of work, otherwise the teachers will get pissed at u. Like if u do an assignment, u have to like draw colourful borders for it, and then color in the inside, and for titles, u have to draw them in color, in a creative font, and poo poo like that. Dude, i waste as much time decorating my assignment as i spend actually doing it.

That actually makes sense in the real world.  Many reports you write probably go to someone who barely understands it.  So appearance would, to whoever's read it, have quite an impact.
This also tries to bring out one's creative side, something you tend to loose as you grow older.

Assassinator Wrote:I ABSOLUTELY HATE dancing the chicken dance and that other one, Macarina or whatever it's called. Pisses me of no end.

O_o.  I didn't enjoy dancing that much, but I figured that if you don't have a choice, stop hating it.

Assassinator Wrote:The system wee have here, girls probably like it more. like the chicken dance, and decoration and all that stuff really doesn't appeal to guys, but girls sem to enjoy it.

Otherwise, the other stuff, like making stuff, painting, sporting activities and the rest are sometimes fun.

Dancing was poo poo, as I found that it had little resemblance of the music (it was more "memorize these lame movements which make no sense" than something which seemed appropriate).
Decoration is alright - just learn to experiment rather than try to stick to routines.

I liked highschool a lot more (and I like Uni more than highschool), but primary school was kinda interesting IMO. (except in grade 6, when my teacher loved sewing...  gawd, wee'd spend entire afternoons sewing some poo poo; luckily grade 7 was better - teacher liked drama)
