My school started a while ago, but this is the only time I feel like I know the classes enough to make a decent thread on them and am not too lazy to actually do so.
Schedule:
Homeroom - Mr. Olson (a science teacher, but everyone just spends fifteen minutes or so in homeroom every day and I don't get him otherwise)
1st period - Ms. Blaquiere - Drama/Speech
2nd period - Mr. Balderson - Band
3rd period - Ms. Moore - Math
4th period - Mr. Adkins - U.S. History
Lunch
5th period - Ms. Benton - Language Arts (some of you may call this English)
6th period - Ms. Ehle - Science
7th period - Ms. Farquhar - Reading
I don't think all of my female teachers are unmarried, but I have too many teachers now to bother being picky about whether they're a Ms. or a Mrs. and they're too busy to notice (or they just don't particularly care).
We have math homework every night (it's a weekend and I still got homework), but the teacher is nice enough for me to put up with it. She taught me about binary numbers, which was kinda cool.
Right now in U.S. History we're studying Native Americans. I personally am studying the Apache, but there are other groups that everyone else is doing: the Cherokee, the Arapaho, the Sioux, the Cheyenne.
Language Arts is amusing. All the old class are in it, and the old class knows how to have fun. More elaboration later.
Science is also fun. I've known Ms. Ehle for a long time, since she coaches teams for a sport. No, not football or anything, a brain sport, known officially as 'Brain Bowl,' known by my stepsister as 'geek convention.'
I like our reading teacher's method of teaching. We get to work entirely at our own pace, which is nice. She gives us a list of assignments and tells you to do them in any order you feel like, with a few exceptions like things that are on worksheets she has to give you and not on lined paper. We can read for the whole hour and she'll let us. We just have to have all the work done by the due date. It gives us the independence that the advanced class needs, and it's awesome. Oh, and she lets us borrow National Geographic magazines.
And now for the corner of humor:
I suggested the first two, Zane suggested the last three.

And now for the corner of humor:
Ms. Benton: What are some ideas for your 'How I Became' essays?
How I Became an Emo!
How I Became a "Chicken" Fajita!
How I Became a Housewife!
How I Became a Nudist!
How I Became an Oscar Mayer Wiener!
Zane: How do you spell Oscar Mayer Wiener, anyways?
Ms. Benton: My balogni has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R...
I suggested the first two, Zane suggested the last three.
*everybody in science gets Chinese fortune-telling fish for an experiment*
Everyone: *holds it in palm* ...Mine says I'm in love!
*Logan keeps on bursting out "BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN" while working on his All About Me brochure for reading*
Alec: *sarcastic* If you love Big Rock Candy Mountain so much, then why don't you draw that as your picture that describes you?
Logan: :D *draws Big Rock Candy Mountain on his cover*
