I would be in the 26th grade now for the 2022-2023 school year!! :eek:

If I calculated right I' d be in the 58th grade now!!??:eek::lol:

I think this would be year 52 Be celebrating my 40th HS graduation next June.

If I calculated right I' d be in the 58th grade now!!??:eek::lol:

Is that right? I graduated in 1980.

And OMG , if I was still in school after all these years I would have already had a major nervous breakdown! :crazy:School sucked! Work does too but at least you get paid ! ;):D

I started first grade in 1973 so this is the fiftieth anniversary of that milestone. I was in the 10th grade forty years ago which is hard to believe. Those days I wish I could take back and have a total do over. I would have left a girl alone and not made friends with my best friend. I would have taken life more seriously.

This is kinda like one of those Infinity Timeline things from Youtube lol.... I thinking if we kept going to school our whole lives, likely our minds would stay sharper, at some point, likely beyond grade 13 we would only be required to attend school a couple of days a week for only 2 or 3 hours maybe, allowing for the fact that we would have to have jobs; there would likely only be 3 or 4-day work-weeks allowing for the fact that we still have to attend school, wages would probably be higher to subsidize the fact we would be working less days, college could probably work totally different, likely "college" would essentially be trade-school, seeing as how we would already be in school perpetually and the curriculum would be getting more and more and MORE challenging, we would always be with our friends and likely not losing track with each other

I dunno what grade I would be in but I wouldnt like it! (The food they offer is horrible now for 1 thing)

Ah, but that’s from a kindergartner’s POV/memory. If you had it now as an adult you’d probably be like “That tomato sauce on a slice of white bread? Gross.”

As for the original thread question, I think it’s called becoming a teacher.

i would of got up and walked out or not even show up i was ready to do it back then

Sometimes I do wish I was back in school. My life is so routine . When I was a child I somewhat looked forward to having a schedule of things to learn. Now same old life. On the other hand going to school forever would get tiring.

I remember really loving school cafeteria pizza , even in high school ! And a lot of times they served it with corn as I said in my other post ! It was a delicious combination , and I bet I still would like it now ! ;):D

I haven't thought about school cafeteria food for a long time. But now I recall a few things I liked there. Frosted Brownies, Cherry Cobbler, Baked Beans.

I read that Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer had such a low IQ that he failed several grades and graduated high school at 21! I guess he was the one who bought the beer and liquor for the prom.

What is the oldest age someone can go to high school? I knew three people who failed a grade in school but eventually graduated (at least two of them) and they were close to 19. I would think failing a grade would be humiliating to say the least. One of the people, a girl supposedly had a lot of personal issues (perhaps alcoholism with her and her widowed mother) that she basically disappeared and failed the eleventh grade. But she went to a new (private school) where she made new friends and was quite active. But again, she went to a new school with new kids who didn’t know her with new teachers so there was no shame on repeating the 11th grade and seemed she was much happier there than in my high school.

One more story……

I read this several years ago and it’s a true story. This was about a kid who was a genius. Someone with over a 200 IQ. Kid got a Master degree in Science at the age of 14. Supposedly the father was very controlling and pushed his kid to the brink and his mother righteously divorced him and took custody of the boy.

So here she is with a 14 year old kid. Too young to work using that advanced degree and she didn’t want him sitting at home watching The Price is Right and soaps all day….so…

She enrolled the boy in HIGH SCHOOL. Because, he never went to high school and didn’t have a high school diploma. He was still at the age where he was (probably) legally obligated to attend school (my state you have to go to school until
You are 16). Probably a brilliant move; the boy gets to be socialized and be with kids his own age.

A lot of food doesn't taste the same/as good to me now as it did when I was a kid. I dunno if tastes change as we age or if ingredients are different.

But one memory I have from Kindergarten is, as I said they served pizza once in a blue moon, and one day they had a choice between pizza and fried chicken and I of course went for the pizza but they thought I pointed at the fried chicken and gave me that, and wouldn't change it when I told them lol I was so mad
