I've just realized I probably don't enjoy my physical science class because of my classmates.

These kids don't do anything and waste their time in class, and one of them burned someone's ar with a lighter.

We never do anything fun, like science experiments because of this, and I'm afraid that they've affected my teacher's teaching style in this class (I was in his Biology class before my credits came in, and it was different), and I'm afraid it might effect me. I need and want to do more than answer questions from a text book. :(

Hopefully my advice about explaining stuff in plain English will be taken to heart, that might at least help me, even if the students won't listen.

Anyone else resent lazy, trouble making classmates?

I had problems with classmates doing similar things when I was in high school, causing trouble. And they say that teens on the spectrum are more immature. I don't think so.

A lot of kids in my Computing and Cooking classes don't want to even learn, they'll just throw paper across the room and yell and stuff. It's the same thing for me. Cooking would be so much better if I didn't get in the cooking groups with the kids that cause the trouble.

I know how you feel. While the people in my "kitchen" in my Food Prep class don't behave like that, some of them really piss me off. On lab days, when I wash, I'm often left to clean, dry, and put away the dishes all by myself, even though I'm not the only sanitation technician in the kitchen. :|

This was a problem in my Year 10 science class, although it doesn't look like I ever had it as bad as some of the people in this thread.

This is exactly what got me so frustrated and irritated with school during 11th and 12th grade... In college now, people thankfully seem to be more focused and mature since they're paying to go and a lot of them are older than me too.

That's why I look forward to whatever education I decide to get after High School.

When paying for something, people do have a tendency to take that something more seriously.
