Where do you live
Arc-sama:
It's on my profile ...
I live in the middle of the ocean ... the Pacific Ocean to be exact on an island.

Crowded and monotonous metropolis with just about nothing going in its favor. I don't exactly hate it though. (click to show/hide)

Not true, and even if they do, the schooling is absolutely horrible. I remember I used to get kicked out of class for correcting teachers because it was considered disrespectful "back-talking." I'd also be treated completely unfairly because I wasn't from India and they told me I was acting like I was better than everyone else (i.e. correcting teachers and trying to help out friends with the material we were learning) because I was "a foreigner."
We were also all forced to sing a school anthem with the lyrics:
"HAIL NES," NES being the school's name.

Hmm, idk man, sounds like you were stuck with one of those idiotic ICSE-board schools. I've was in a private CBSE school, and the teachers gave us a lot of freedom in the classroom. You could say most of teachers were practically like friends to us in high school. We even had a large number of Indians from abroad and they got treated the same as everyone else. The school anthem, well, that's somehow a staple in India ;D although ours was in Sanskrit ???
The only complaint I have with my school is about the terribly imbalanced syllabus.

You're actually spot-on with the ICSE thing. I was in an ICSE->Checkpoint->IGCSE->A-level sorta system. They've since switched to "IB" and now call themselves an "IB World School" which is fucking stupid, because they know jack shit about the world. They think just because they have a connection with Cambridge means they're super-epicly international. I only did 7th and 8th grade there, until my parents figured out how fucking horrible the school was and we hauled ass out of there.
Seriously, NES International School stood for "NATIONAL Education Society INTERNATIONAL" and now it's "NES IB World School" :|
Can anyone say "contradiction"? (They probably don't even know what it means!)

Yeah, lately I've been seeing a lot of those Cambridge affiliated, supposedly "elite" schools here. Fuck elite, they're just a poor excuse to demand big cash for mediocre education.
