Same class for 3 years

I agree with 자영, and this topic is so nice!
Gimfl is not like common high school, there are many different systems.
Especially, the number of students is only 126 in a grade, 26 in a class. Isn't it advantage and speciality in GIMFL? We can make sincere friends in our class for 3 years. but I never mean other class students aren't important. I think only 1 year is too short to know each other well. Also, we already tired and stressful to study hard. If we had to change classes each year, we are so stressful to adapt new class, new friends. new environment. As I said before, Gimfl students are only 126, we have enough chances to get along with other class students. And we are doing well now! In short, the class system in Gimfl is good enough.

That's right. If our colleagues changes every year, we can't focus on our study. We should try to make good relationships with friends, we should try to adapt to changed environment, so we may be not able to concentrate on studying.
Is it right for gimfl students? We are high school students and we are preparing for university. We lack time to study even without change of class, but if there is some change of class and colleagues, what situation will happen?
Our class and colleagues will be same for 3 years, so we can focus on study without any bothering of other things like friends problem. Maybe someone who made us to be with same class for 3 years made that intentionally.

I think this system has both merits and demerits. Form friendship with classmates for three years is very nice. We can know each classmate's character and humanity more deeply. Also, we don't have to feel embarrassed at new semester's serious atmosphere because everyone is familiar.
However, when we make serious mistake to classmate, we can feel leery about solving the problem. Also, it can last for very long time when we do not solve the problem quickly. It is more important to maintain good relationship with all classmates in this system than '1 year'system. We should be careful when we deal some problems with classmate.

As I knew this system, I thought it could be kind of effective for me. Because I can have a deep relation with class friends. But now, I've felt it is not effective than I'd thought. Because GIMFL has less students;total is 126, the numver of average class students is 25 than other common high schools. Living with only 25 students for 3 years disturb my social skill. There are various people in society and we live with them, so we should cope with other people. As we experience making or living with many diffrent friedns, we can understand other people's think and learn the way living well with many peoples. Expriencing various people is need.
Also, as many students said, if I have a probelem with some students, it is hard to solve the relationship. Relationship is too hard to treat and we are not adult, so there is limit point though we try to reconvcile.
Above all, I disagree with GIMFL system not changing class for 3 years.

I totally agree with you 자영. Having been student for ten years, I’ve always thought that one year is just too short to be a friend of others. Look at me. I cannot even remember who my classmates were for three years of my middle school days. If we have same classmates for three years, however, I am sure that every member of the class would be a true friend to each other. Since we also have a very small number of students in our school, it may be a really good chance for us to get closer. And as you said, we would have to spend more time to get along with our new friends if we change classes every year. I guess that certainly will take away our studying time also.

It's obvious that this system has a double-edged sword. In my case, because i'm a extroverted person, i love meeting a new friends. So this system looks not good for me, but i don't think so. Although i enjoy meeting a new person and making a relation, i believe the depth of relation is much important than the number of firends. In such a view point, i like this system which make i and my class mates strongly tied. i think 'CLASS MATES' in GIMFL has a different meaning from class mates of any other schools. We study in the same place alsomst everyday, and we share so many things like IVY LEAGUE TOUR, school festival, and sports day for 3years!

As i metioned before, it's like a double-edged sword, so it has many, bad things. i'm sure you already know what they are:D, so i will not mention it. Anyway, i'm glad that many of gimfl students are satisfied with this system.

Nowadays, I actually have difficulty communicating with some classmates since I feel like I couldn't stand what they are doing or saying to me. I know that I can upset with them and talk wih them that you shouldn't have behaviored like that way. But I usually stand and hide my feeling and words that I really want to express, cause I know we have to stay together at least 2 years more and get alon with each other.
What I want to say is that there are some disadvantages about being in the same class for three years. To solve the problems,I think we have to be concerned each other more seriously. We usually feel so comfortable that we just say and express what we have in mind directly, not even considering other's feeling. It sometimes drives me crazy and I'm sometimes shocked about what I had said.
I know that it's kind of out of topic.. but considering what happens in our class, I really desire to be sincere to each other.

I think about our 'same class for three year' system in a positive way. Most of all, we are living in a dormitory, separated from our family. Thus, it is very important to be emotionally stable. Being in a friendly environment and friends and really helpful for us being stable, rather than adapting to new environment again and again. I know we cannot ignore that if there is a trouble between some friends, we have to suffer those discomforts for 3 years, but fighting, reconciling and understanding are the things that we have to undertake in any kind of situation, and is just a kind of process of learning relationship. Also, in other way, we can be closer if we overcome that. Moreover, Friends are actually the only men who we can depend on in our school life. We are needed to have some more deep relationship more than normal, and there's no better way to get along for a long time.

In my case, it is benefit for us no matter how this system gives us hardships or problems in relationship. High school is the last place that we can prepare future and improve ourselves before going out to the society which has tremendous problems and difficulties. If we become adults, we will encounter very various people who are from kind to unfit to us. I’m sure we will have troubles with them unavoidably. For 3 years with same friends, we are able to learn how to treat others, how to adjust with others, how to solve the problems, etc. These experiences gotten from 3 year in Gimfl must help us through wisdom and skills when we meet some awkward situations. Also we have fabulous opportunities to get eternal friendship making best friends who support and assist us with this system.
