New school season (tips)

I have an idea. Before you are allowed to sit in your computer chair - you must attempt to do 5 push ups. To make it easier at first, keep your knees on the floor while you do them.

Do this every time before sitting down! Eventually change to regular push ups, increase the number, etc...

I bet you'll be surprised how fast your arms will gain strength.

Apparently my gym teacher doesn't care? I spoke to him on the side and he's like okay. Then after that he goes to the front of the class and begins talking about how he doesn't want to hear us whining that we can't do pushups or something (wasn't sure if this was directed towards me or not, I just said I have difficulty.) A kid I know and I who are both really out of shape did only a few maybe, and apparently this guy didn't care. I got 22 proper situps in a minute which wasn't all that bad I think. Still, he didn't seem to care how many we got for some reason (odd?) I'll speak to him later about what I should do to increase the muscular endurance/strength in my arms. We'll be doing them every week anyway though.

just a little tidbit. Teachers in the GTA really dont care about the students. They are there to collect paychecks, thats it.

Slowly beginning to think that's more and more true. They almost resent their job (some of them) and act like they are only there because it's there job, not because they love teaching or anything.

why would you love teaching arrogant, rude and obnoxious kids?

I know not all are like that, but most of them are. I remember when students in my classes wouldnt even take out their earphones for the lecture, I know that is rude, but from both sides, its an understandable cycle. Students listen less, so teachers try less. Then teachers try less cause the children arent listening, so on and so forth

I hear ya. Kids arguing with teachers when they tell them to do stuff and just ignorign them and stuff.

Cactur, I was kidding around, but now that I look back nobody on abxzone knows me personally so they wouldn't get that comment .
