How did you pay attention in school

[maasman]

I draw in class. It actually works very well. x3

i will try this if only i knew what to draw.

Anything, even random squiggly lines help.

Wanting to learn helps a lot.

Wanting to learn helps a lot.

I agree, but that doesn't always mean you won't fall asleep.

Eat breakfast, drink lots of water, and get a good night's sleep.

Not necessarily in that order.

Having teachers who care about teaching helps too.

I will admit that I don't eat breakfast, but even when I'm full it doesn't help to much
Maybe it's constant dehydration, I really don't know.

Try to reserve time for looking at pretty girls/boys immediately at the beginning or the end of class, so you can focus the rest of the time on your studies.

Pick a fight (verbal) with the teacher, that always livens up the class.

Water keeps you hydrated and more awake.

This is how I payed attention:

From 1st grade to 6th grade: I would pay attention to everything the teacher said, I liked school, besides in those grades paying attention didn't make you a nerd, I could still be friends with anyone and play soccer every recess.

7th grade: I joined a public school, big change. Guys would bring knifes and guns to school, I still payed attention and got straight As but started to adapt in order to not to be thought as a nerd, managed to be friends with one of the little delinquents because we ride on the same bus to get to school.

8th to 12th grade: Public system changed me and I started to pay enough attention to pass without having to study at home (it was still pretty easy so I kept getting 9s) and care more about having fun at school.

University: I moved to a different city, living alone. I would pay attention and participate whenever I was in the classroom, I attended like to 60% of my classes tho, (I'm a stupid because I payed for the 100% of them) because they have a 51% assistance policy.

Just a question. Was it really your money? or did it come from somewhere else (could be anywhere). I understand 51% of it came from "assistance". was that the school, the gov't, grant or shcolarship? and, not to get to personal, but I'm curious cuz I went through the exact same thing. Was this a US school I assume? how much of the 49% was "yours", and of that, how much came on loan from a bank or school? If you don't mind

My family's money of course. In Mexico working during University in order to pay for it or your other expenses is not smart, because the pay is a joke and you would be not focusing in school for too little money.

No, by 51% assistance I mean attendance , sorry, in Spanish is "asistencia". I hat to attend to 85% percent of classes to get 2 chances to pass the final, or 51% to have 1 chance. To me 1 chance was enough so I would attend just enough of the classes. Back when I was 17 I thought my family didn't have enough to support me in an expensive university, so I promised a scholarship when I applied (I could get it) but it was my bad luck that ONLY that year, the university suspended it's scholarship program, and next year when they reopened it, I went to apply for one but they told me it was only for new students .

And I guess I was very stupid for missing classes but I thought I was paying for meeting people from all the country like me and for the final diploma.

your school is awesome. all i get to do in my school is sleep.

Was this a US school I assume?

No, it was in Mexico, in Guadalajara.

[40kguy]

No, it was in Mexico, in Guadalajara.

wow there are allowed guns there.

No, its against the law unless you have a permit, which is much more difficult to get that in the US. I guess you say that because of my comment that students brought guns to school: that was in another city, when I was in public school. I was surrounded by little delinquents lol. No, in the University I was back in private school, I shouldn't have left private schools. It was one of my sisters suggestion that I made 6 years of public schools, so I could learn to relate to everybody, not only "rich kids".

You don't learn anything in public schools in Mexico, and you meet mostly uninteresting, stupid, dangerous people. In private schools in Mexico there aren't only "rich kids", there are a lot of sons of people making an effort to give good education to their children. Anyway, those 6 years are years lost to me, I learned only to fear other people, and bad habits. If I ever have a son or daughter, they will never go to a public school in Mexico, I rather have em playing videogames all day long.

[nagerous]

I am with woodruff on this. No sugar in your diet. No fast food. No chips. eat fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and as little meat as you can stand. Also get sleep at home -- get eight hours at night.

Nevertheless, even if you do all that, school can be mind-numbing boring and put any sentient person in a stupor. So, fight, fight for interest classes, fight for better teachers. If you are going to get kicked out, get kicked out for demanding something better rather than for letting the bastards get you down.

wow i hardly have any sugar. now meat on the other hand you need protein.

Don't listen to this argument about cutting out meats, protein is important for your diet - if you are worried about weight then cut out high fat meats like bacon and sausages and stick to lean meats like chicken and turkey breast. I have never heard of studies linking cutting out meat to greater concentration, would say it is the opposite as lack of protein in a diet reduces energy levels.

OH, I forgot exercising -- exercise every day

masturbating doesn't count as exercising

[nagerous]

It builds arm muscles.

Masturbating in the morning however might make you concentrate better. After a good wank you are not as sexually charged during the day and therefore can concentrate on the work rather than 'impure thoughts.'

[mpjh]

sexual tension is good for you -- try abstaining every other day.

replace "schools" with "hospitals" and you are looking at the future of US health care
