    We'd have the field days, where each home room competed against each other for nothing other than bragging rights, and in 6th grade, that was plenty lol

      a girl that was 16. She was the same age as my sister and was in 8th grade (both got held back)
      So, she was like 20 or 21 when she graduated high school ? Anyway........ A+ for not giving up. A good amount of kids would have just dropped out of school.

        I deleted it from my post, because it was sixth grade and I forgot we were talking about 5th grade.

        Well, she started school a year late and was held back a year, so she was 16 in the 8th grade. I was in the 6th grade and was 12, but she was under the impression that I was 13. Honestly, I'm not sure there's much difference between 12 and 13, if the age gap is all ready that huge.

        My sister absolutely hated her, which made matters even more funny. When I start doing the math, I think she was actually a year older than my sister, because my sister graduated at the age of 19. She just didn't give a **** about school then and my mom refused to send her to summer school to make it up. She made her stay behind a year and learn her lesson the hard way. In her defense, the teacher who's class she failed, was a complete bitch. The school made her stop sending home work, because it had got so bad. I somehow passed her final exam with a 90.


        I don't know what happened to her after we broke up. I sort of just avoided her for two weeks and she kept trying to call and ****, which didn't set well with my parents at all. She started getting on my nerves and I didn't know how to break up with her.. lol.

          wow...so in a way, you could have potentially have been a dad at the age of 12. You lucked out and dodged a bullet.

            Depending on your definition of second base, that's about as far as it ever went. I didn't know what the hell I was doing.. my man Ludacris can only teach you so much through song.. LMAO.

            I still think I knew way too much for my age.

              Those Choose Your Own Adventure books were the ish! I hated reading but those were never big books and you could always choose an ending but if you didn't like it just go back.

              And how many thought they had some top secret info typing this on their calculators: 71077345

              I actually thought I could impress a girl showing her that.

                I remember if the Teacher was proud of our class for doing something good, we'd get Extra Recess, which was like the equivalent of winning the Lottery except without actually winning money.
                Field Day was a huge thing at my school, it was always something everyone looked forward to all year. In our PE class we'd set up our 4x100m relay teams, shuttle races, basketball teams,etc. Teachers would come up with shirts that the class would wear

                We got these depending on where we placed in an event
                Spoiler

                Then at the end we'd get ice cream/snowcones and total up all the events and our class would get some big banner with where we finished that was pretty much bragging rights the rest of the year.

                  They are a little more recent I guess, but these were my favorite books of all time until I started reading Harry Potter later on.

                      Pre-algebra was in my school. I think they even had introductory to foreign language. That was in RI.

                            My 5th grade books



                            Hardy Boys




                            The Hobbit




                            The Witch of Blackbird Pond

                            And a GMSS nerd confession.......I use to read the dictionary and the whole set of encyclopedias on a regular basis from front to back year round. Yes my parents was one of those types that gave their kids home work assignments during summer vacation, spring break and christmas break. When I was sick, I wasn't allowed to watch tv, instead they gave me a damn book to read.

                              I still have every single one of my Goosebumps books. I have roughly 50 of them. They are still in great condition and I'm hoping my son will enjoy reading them when he gets older. I had some great times reading those books.
