It's not hard if you listen in class and stay with it.

no. It's not hard at all. Is it harder than junior high? Absolutely. But it's nowhere near what I would consider "hard".

It's more annoying than hard. Sometimes you'll feel like you're wasting time doing tedious "busy work" that has no real point to it.

It depends. My first and last half of HS were completely different. I don't think it's because I studied more. The study halls probably had something to do with it.

Na, It's not hard. Most of the people that told you it was hard were probably lazy in class. :P If you pay attention and do your work, then it should be pretty easy.

So was I the first two years. And I still got decent marks. However you'll need to at least step it up in grade 12 if you're aiming for a decent post-secondary education.

Who said it was hard? It's not (unless you're taking AP and/or honors classes). I hardly put any effort into anything I did and passed with a C+/B- average every year.

Depends, sometimes no matter how hard you try it seems like fate is against you, some teachers are complete arses and the student body can make you cringe. But there are good days and bad days, well thats how it feels for me anyways.

Depends on the teacher. You're going to hate any teacher who seemingly crams the entire semester into one week.

Not at all, just pay attention and you'll be fine. In my last 3 years of high-school, I haven't studied ONCE, and I still got 80s (That's As, for those who use alphabetical grades).

I thought senior year was awesome.MattUD1

I didn't like mine so much. I felt like it was supposed to be really good but I felt like I did too much unnecessary college preparation stuff and I didn't get half of what my ****ates did. I guess it just depends.

Maybe in some strange, far-away country of anarchists and pedophiles... but in the U.S. anything in the 80s is a B.

Everywhere I've ever gone, a score in the 80s was considered a B. :?

No, its not. Anymore its just a waste of time because the parents just look at it as just another form of babysitting their kid, therefore they dont care, and the teachers see this, so they dont care either. There are really not a whole lot of great teachers anymore that take pride in teaching kids and dont do everything "by the book" so to speak.

Depends on the level of courses you are taking (honors, AP, etc.) and your school system, but it will probably be harder than junior high

My parents want me to go to high school because they want me to prepare myself for university and ultimately have a good career/life/general understanding of the world, not to be "babysat". And some of my teachers haven't been that great, but a lot of them are pretty good, they aren't just there because they needed a job and they care about their students.

Whatever high school you go/went to sounds...fun.

Pretty much. I know where I went most people did some sort of hospital work or automotive work. You get credit for ****s and you get paid.

Na, In grade 10 I went to a different school, which allowed me to receive more credits than what I would receive at high school. In high school the most credits you could get in 1 year is 7, at this other school I went to, you could get 11 credits in one year. So when I reached grade 12, I had 23 credits and you need 24 to graduate.

Your parents are part of the exception, but most parents do. Trust me, my mother is a teacher.
