I think they taught us roman numerals very briefly (and by very briefly, I mean showed us a list of them and called it a day) in elementary school.

Same for us. xD
About the word "like".... My History teacher makes us restate our answers if we use the word "like" even once. Or if we say "um."

Neo would have a field day with the amount of quotation marks in this post.

I was taught roman numerals in fifth grade. It was rather comprehensive, but I don't remember the higher numerals at all, once I get past X, I don't know what's what.

Apparently, we get taught roman numerals up to 100 in our junior year.
Seems a bit late to me. XD

My teachers say like and um all the time.
Some swear.
Sometimes we swear.
So, words aren't really a big thing.
Nobody makes anyone restate anything. XD

My school is a very good place to learn some... erm, creative... words. Just not Social Studies. xD

My school is too lax. We just...do whatever.
And as long as it doesn't violate any safety codes...
...never mind...
We did whatever pretty much.

My school is a middle school inside of a high school. The honors classes are ike normal classes, and the non-honors is like Special Ed.
It stinks. (both literally and figuratively)

My school is a middle/high school.
Because we're epically tiny. =P

And that's pretty much how it is here too.
I epic failed at Algebra II, so instead of taking Honors Geometry (which is running through the material, so my friends say), I'm taking College Prep Geometry, which is absolutely crawling through the stuff.
I'm not math geek, or math total idiot, so I'm wishing there was like...a power walking though the material level. XD

And we take our special education around here quite seriously. 30% of us are there. Another 3% are in the "alternative education" ward. XD

For a while we had a level system here instead of grades. At a certain age you were expected to be capable of a certain level in each subject. There was average, high and then exceptional levels and depending what you were that was (supposed) to determine what class difficulty you were in. But of course the teachers decided they hated it because they were too lazy to learn the system, which was a good system, and people got placed in the wrong slots or whatever and they eventually dumped the system. Which was a shame because it was very much based on what you personally were capable of rather then grading you A-whatever.

That does seem like a good system.
Here they're just like..if you failed elementary school, we're going to stick you in special ed. If you're on parole and have to be here, we'll stick you in alternative ed.

Yeah, that's all I know.

Oops, I think I put that in the wrong thread.
