School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

I'm from Australia and...... it's unbelievable how much secondary schools drum into their students that going to uni is the be all and end all of life and that it affects absolutely everything work-related in your life thereafter. I utterly LOATHED high school and was totally unmotivated. I ended up totally bombing on pretty much all of my subjects and wouldn't have it any other way: After high school I went and taught English in Kagoshima, Japan* when I was 18 years old with "Blockbuster" as work experience on my resume. I made heaps of friends and will most likely end up living there. I'm now 24 and living in Toronto, having a great time. When I return home in 2011, I'll be 26 and THEN I will be going to university. I'll be ready, at that point, and I'll WANT to study.
I hated school.
