I'm an introverted 6'2" computer geek who feels sorry for the rudeness of the other interview for this generation and would like to show everyone that this generation isn't THAT bad.
Schooling
1. What were teachers like? Who was a favorite teacher? Why? Was there any teacher who made a sufficient impression on you? Who? Why?
Most of my teachers were lazy, and assigned a lot of busy work. I pretty much liked all my teachers and they liked me.
2. Was school work difficult? How were classes then different from classes today? What kind of grades did your parents expect you to get?
The teachers pretty much let me get an A for doing as little as possible. Like I said, they were lazy. My mom expects me to get A's, but since I'm in highschool honors classes now she doesn't mind B's.
3. How long was a school day? What was the food like? Cost? How many classes did you have? What was a typical routine in class?
At my old school, the days were from 8AM to 2:45PM. In highschool, the days are from 7:55AM to 3:07PM.
4. What was the dress code for students?
Grade school: Light blue shirt with blue pants uniforms
Highschool: Anything goes, as long as you wear something, pretty much.

There wasn't and still isn't much violence. There were, however, discipline problems at my old school.

There were too many. Can't pick one.

I cheated once in 1st grade on a spelling test. haha I got caught but nothing serious really happened; it was only first grade.

No, because I haven't gotten finished with highschool yet. Isn't that a stupid question? I WILL have the opportunity to go to college.

I used to play sports, but I'm not that good and all the coaches want is to win, so I don't play them anymore.

I don't know. I don't go to the movies that often. Renting movies is better.
Other Information
I read the page, and I think the earlier nineties/later eighties weren't covered that well. Like Ghostbusters. That was the biggest thing in my life in kindergarten. Transformers too. Hehe.
Nine Inch Nails should be mentioned for starting Industrial music. And Marilyn Manson should be mentioned for having such a positive effect on teens by bringing out their individuality and making them challenge tradition.
What many people don't realize is that teenagers today want to be preppy and they want to think they are from the inner city. Suburban, rich, kids. Example: Kid wearing Abercrombie & Fitch shirt with Tommy Hillfigger Jeans who has gotten in trouble for burning a farmer's field comes up to you and says "Yo wassup homie?"
