“I pay the schoolmaster, but it is the school boys who educate my son.”?
~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882~

I have learned how to communicate better with my classmates. i have also learned much about teamwork and that how it takes more than just myself to complete a task.
ReplyDeleteI have learned many lessons from my friends. My friends have taught me to not be walked on. My friends have given me confidence that helps me in life and at school. Without the confidence I have I would not be able to do as well as I do.
ReplyDeleteI have learned that you can't trust the people who seem trustworthy. You also can't go through highschool without having drama. You can say you will, but you will have drama, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteHow to make money and not get into trouble doing it. As long as my friends stay loyal i can learn alot from them. How to clean and maintain a computer and how to do diagnostics on a desktop through a laptop.
ReplyDeleteI have learned quite a few things that haven't been from the book. It helps to talk about study habbits with your friends. And sometimes if you don't understand homework and your teacher isn't around it is best to get help from a friend because they are looking at is as the same view point as you.
ReplyDeleteI've learned about the best times to go places during lunch. Like when it rains, subway is a good place to go cause no one wants to walk there. Walking to Hucks during Spring fling is a bad idea...unless you like getting hit with water. They've taught my several things, some good some bad. All I know is the ones I do use, usually are good.
ReplyDeletei learned that we should be nice to everyone and show everyone one wit the respect they deserve. i didnt learn that from any text books.
ReplyDeleteWell I have learned alot from my friends. The first thing I have learned is to not walk to lunch alone you will get hit with water baloons. Never go to subway you will come out smeling like the place. Never ride to lunch when your not a senior the will leave you were you eat.
ReplyDeleteI have learned about society from seeing classmates. Some people may be considered weird, or not cool, but they're still people. Whether you like them or not, don't sit there and slander and make fun of them. They don't deserve that, and you wouldn't appreciate if someone made fun of you. Think about things before you say them, don't be a jerk. You never know when karma could come back to bite you.
ReplyDeleteSome things that I have learned that was not in a textbook was to trust people. Also I learned not to judge to people by what other people say. I have learned alot of other things too.
ReplyDeleteI've learned that friendships are very valuable. That when you're going through something there is nothing like a friend you can talk to. I've really learned how to value friendships.
ReplyDeleteWell i have a lot of hands on classes that you dont usually use books in and i have learned a lot from those. I have also learned a lot about music from my friends. I have also learned what certain things do to people that i should stay away from.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I have learned from the other people I attend school with is how to treat people. Through interacting with other students and the teachers, you learn how other people want to be treated and how you should treat them. This is one important skill that I will use for the rest of my life t hat has nothing to do with textbooks.
ReplyDeleteI've learned that friends are something you need to have. Without them you are very lonely! I've also learned that you need to be nice to everyone even if you don't know them because it will have a positive impact on them and then they will be nice back to you... hopefully!
ReplyDeleteI have learned that you never keep the same friends from grade school.In grade school your positive that your best friend will stay your best friend through out high school. I have also learned that there is a "class" with in high school. Any one who is in a sport are the popular ones. I dont mind it though. Less people you know the less you have to worry about.
ReplyDeleteI have learned how to talk to people and make friends. That is something that everyone learns but you can't be tought how to do it. It is a very important skill that most have but you have to to learn it from experience.
ReplyDeleteMy friends and classmates have taught me many lessons. My friends have taught me not to lie to them about things or you will regret the things you do. Classmates, when you need the help on homework assignments and the teacher is not able to help you they do come in handy.

ReplyDeleteOnce i got into high school i've learned that you're not as big as you think you are. People don't care about your problems and you not everyone will agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI learned that paying for lunch every day really adds up. That most of the things people say about others are not true. I also learned that if you don't talk about people you will avoid most drama.
ReplyDeleteAll of them. Not to snitch, mind your own business, general rules of thumb and common sense. . but its helped me keep and make plenty of friends. Its difficult to learn anything useful from a book...
ReplyDeleteWhat not to do to get talked about. How to do certain things better in sports. Things have been explained to me better than a teacher can by my peers. Etc...
ReplyDeleteThings i have learned are who to hang with.You dont want to hang with people that are going to get you in trouble at home. You also want to hang or chill with people who has the same hobbies and intrests.
ReplyDeleteOne, never walk near bushes or shrubs. Two, cafeteria food can kill you no matter what they say. Three, never listen to rules (they are made to be broken). Four if its a secret then everyone on campus already knows.
ReplyDeleteI've learned lots of lessons from my friends and classmates. You learn how to build relationships and communicate with others. There are many valueable lessons one can learn outside of school.
ReplyDeleteThe lessons i have learned in school that they don't teach in books, are that you Can lose friends, people Can change and most people do. i have also learned that every little thing you do can have a huge impact on your reputation! I have learned alot about relationships, how not to settle for any random person but make sure you feel comfortable and not pressured. i have also learned that you don't have to wear designer clothes, your hair perfect or look like a movie star for people to like you!
ReplyDeleteI have learned many lessons from my school mates. One of them being how to deal with people you dont get along with. Sometimes people just clash and dont get along but you must deal with one another in order to stay in school and not get in trouble. I have also learned how to make friends and be social in almodt any situation and make friends with all kinds of people and not set bouandries for myself.
ReplyDeleteI have learned how to do my hair, what clothes are considered acceptable; I know which friends will stab your back, and which friend will protect it; I've learned why some people tell everything about themselves while others won't say a word; I now know which teachers care and which just need the money; I've learned the ups and downs of popularitiy and that one best friend is better than 20 acquaintances; I know some guys actually love you and some guys just say they do; I know that some people hate you for a reason and some just because they can; I learned that some people go through life and know what who they are and thats who I want to be.

SKILLS!
I learn something new
every single day
from a classmate.
Usually a friend..
iv learned in school that you have to be a hard worker. things just arent given to you in life. you should treat scgool like you would a job.
ReplyDeleteI have learned lessons in school that books can never teach kids. Like if you get in a wreck with your best friend she will still be your best friend! And also if you cheat on test your most definatly going to get a big Fat ZERO! and that is no fun! Also if your tardie to many times teachers start to get angry with you.
ReplyDeleteI have learned to make friends. I have learned that school is not always the most important thing. I have learned to be a good person.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much that I have learned that has nothing to do with books. I have learned that you should always be nice to people even if you don't like them, because Karma will come back and get you. Keep everything you don't want talked about private, because people love to talk. At school you learn from your classes, but it's also important to gain street smarts and communication skills at school.
ReplyDeleteI have learned life lessons here at school.I learned never to leave anything of value out of your sight unless it is safe for sure. Also i have learned to stay away from the drama its useless.
ReplyDeleteDon't ever run to class. It makes you look like a freshman who's afraid of being late to class. If you knew you were going to be late, just get there when you get there. Don't hurry along and hope your teacher doesn't notice, because majority of the time that do notice.
ReplyDeleteI learn so much more from those around me than I do in the classroom. I believe that the lessons we learn from those around us stay with us forever. You should pay more attention to those lessons than anything.
