I use high school chemistry all the time. Well, technically it started in grade school science, but if I hadn't memorized a bunch of the symbols for different elements on the periodic table, it sure would suck to try and read the doctor's progress notes. Im assuming the nurses should probably have to know them, too, if they are going to administer the correct substances. I wasn't a science major OR a culinary arts major. Mine was actually Health Information. Also, you aren't even IN the real world yet. How the hell would you know whether or not Chemistry is something you will use? Then again, all 17 year olds know everything, right?

Sorry, but you were obviously doing something you weren't supposed to be doing in chemistry class, and you were caught. If you didn't want it to happen, you should've waited until later. Or better yet, you should not have even bothered to come to class! That's what I hated about high school. There were a ton of people doing other distracting things rather than paying attention, and they obviously didn't want to be there. They bothered the teacher and they bothered the ones who were actually trying to pay attention. At least in college those types of people either skip class or get kicked out by the professor, so we don't have to deal with them. :)

yeah my stupid science teacher did the same thing to me in lab today but he actually made an alka-selzter bomb and put right next to me to surprise my lab partner. mission accomplished.

YDI. Pay attention in class, dipshit.

were you writing the lyrics while he was giving the lecture? because if you were, he probably just did that because he noticed you weren't paying attention, and he wanted you to learn a lesson.

maybe it's god telling you to pay attention and take notes!!

Wtf hahaha!!!!!!!!!

I learned chemical changes in gr. 7 o_O

.... So write it again? It came from your brain didn't it?

YDI for a) Writing lyrics during class instead of paying attention b) Not having a Pulse smartpen.
