So I've NEVER posted about my life here since normally I figure it should be used to collaborate ideas and stuff but I'm just sorta pissed now and I'm normally pretty calm.

I have a 91%in math so its good enough that I shouldn't have to do the hw(which doesn't even get marked)that I just look over and make sure I get it cuz I've mastered y=mx+b(ya,pretty sad).I've created formulas during class for it.Normally my teacher just gives me normal detentions in for not doing the hw which doesn't matter since I'd go there anyway since math is after lunch.Anyways,he wasn't in today and some other person was there and when I didn't do my hw,she sent me to the office to talk with my VP

I stay calm the whole time and try explain why I don't need to do the hw,and she just yells at me and tells me that it isn't elementary school anymore(I thought high school was where they finally let go of my hand and stopped forcing me to do all the redundant work).So after getting in trouble for telling her stuff like I understand her POV but I still don't agree,I get 2detentions at the office,a threat of suspension and the knowledge that she plans to follow up with my math teacher on whether I'm doing my work or not.My science teacher who wanted to beat children was cool in that he didn't care what you did unless you were being obnoxious

Your school is fucked up.

Wow, you're dumb. Of course you have to do homework.

1. Homework counts as a grade. If you don't do any of your homework, you're probably going to fail.

2. I knew how to do every single thing in my computer class before we even started learning, yet I still did the homework to refresh my memory and for reason 1.

Nope. Highschool is when the teachers don't care about you and don't care if you don't do the homework. They just fail you.

Meh, I never do my math HW. My math teacher knows but he doesn't give a f***.

My maths teacher is so lazy she marks the homework with the class instead of taking it in to mark herself. That means instead of doing it at home, I just write down the answers as shes reading them out. (Its not like I cant do them, its always pretty easy)

I think the main problem is probably that you're coming across as arrogant.

The point of homework is to let the teacher know how you're doing in the subject, to use the stuff you're learning (aint gonna stay in your head very well otherise), and to give your parents an excuse to moan at you if you're in the way at home.

It used to annoy me if I was struggling with my homework and spent ages on it, when I knew there was those clever bastards that understood everything and would fly through it in half an hour. I would have been pissed right off if they didn't have to do homework at all.

Ya,I try to keep quiet about it all and it pisses me off when people call me a genius.And I wasn't just born with math in my mind,I had to learn it on my own.I also do math in class,I just decide to learn ahead.Like once my teacher took the G10 text away from me while I was learning some trig in class.I also don't like the system the school teaches,I derive more instead of memorizing random formulas I don't understand

In other classes I do the hw since I don't understand it

Homework isn't worth marks in most of my classes. The teachers just figure that if you don't do the homework, you won't understand the concept, and you'll get fzcked over on tests.
