'How to hold a phone conversation properly'
'How to travel through a built up area without getting in everyones way and pissing them off'
'How to come to school without your Dads gun'
'How to play an online game for more than five minutes without screeching 'fag' or 'noob' in your ridiculous reedy irritating voice'

I think games have done a stand up job-my nephew knows that when faced with a cyborg mutant small arms won't cut it, and that grenades and/or rocket launchers are the only option. Can't buy an education like that I can tell you...Numb1lp said:
Dinosaur Studies!
Seriousness: I live in the UK, and it's a real embuggerance that I we don't get taught British Imperial History or something in school
I don't understand why we don't, though
Too Shameful?
We study the frikin' Romans and Nazis to death, so that dosen't count
Not Important?
It kinda encompassed 40% of the planet, and it affected 100% of it for many, many decades
Boring?
We study the Magna Carta. Not the history behind it (the Barons Wars and all that) or all the politics, but the actual document and what it means. Boring left the building about five hours ago
[HEADING=2]Oh wait, actually...[/HEADING]
Basic Internet Studies
Recently, there was a wave of people at school (we get laptops in Sixth Form) affected by one of those viral "YOU HAVE A VIRUS!!1!" messages that ask you to upload the Antivirus software that is, in itself, a virus.
A friend of mine got caught by it. I nodded sympathetically but I very, VERY nearly shouted out "People actually FALL for that crap? Seriously!?"
In any case, we need to tell people about the internet. We get talked at on end about the big, scary world and how we'll need to prepare for it and be wary of the pitfalls of sex, drugs and unemployment, but what about the internet? In this modern age, an internet-born virus can have acsess to everything important in your life: Passwords, bank accounts, pictures, documents, details...IN A MATTER OF SECONDS

Just mentioning, diabolo and other props also technically count as juggling...Zildjin81 said:Ah cool, I also like diabolo better than juggling (though passing clubs is great). I'm working on two diabolos at once right now.Simalacrum said:Enough to cause a few "ooh's" here and there...Zildjin81 said:Huh, really?Simalacrum said:hurraaaay!Zildjin81 said:My school had required circus arts, to this day I can juggle four balls three clubs and do a handstandSimalacrum said:
I was made to do Circus Skills in my old school too, but it wasn't mainstream... now its my greatest passion, and I hope to do it professionally XD
How well do you juggle?
I mostly do diabolo and devil sticks, but I can also do clubs, knives, balls, little bit of contact juggling, poi and staff
and 2 diabolo is suprisingly easy (at least the standard shuffle is...), just wrap the second diabolo around the right-hand string (around the top of the handstick), give it a few tugs to give it speed, unwrap, and voila! your doing 2d
Well technically yes, isn't it called gyroscopic juggling or something?Simalacrum said:Just mentioning, diabolo and other props also technically count as juggling...Zildjin81 said:Ah cool, I also like diabolo better than juggling (though passing clubs is great).

Our school is a big heap of royal dog poop since we dont have drama
how the fuck am i ment to be an actor
It depends on the assignment. Usually open-ended questions are handled that way, but things, like in math, that require an exact answer can be incorrect. However, partial credit can be given if they have the process correct, like long division for instance. If the student knows how to solve the problem but didn't get the exact answer b/c they messed up on the subtraction, they can receive partial credit. Hopefully I answered your question somewhere in this novel I wrote...hahaJEBWrench said:
