my ap physics teacher is a dumbass. he has a dumb system of grading because he claims that he doesnt have the time to teach it, and he doesnt know what hes doing. our tests our graded by us. he redistributes the tests out, so that instead of him getting to feel bad for giving other people shitty grades, we get to (and i may seem like an ass, but i hate giving people failing grades). he does this because he doesnt want to grade the tests, and he doesnt have time (that is what he told our parents at back to school night). now we get to the labs. we work in groups, and so we all have to spend all the time to write up a formal lab report (this takes several hours to do well) and then he only grades one lab for each group, except the conclusions are graded individually. so basically, if he happens to grade the lab of a dumbass in your group...well thats just too bad. why does he do this? again, he doesnt have time to grade our labs. my response to that is to find someone to teach it who does. that or he should quit his part time job so he can do his real one right. third thing. you cant define a word with that word, agreed? well why is it that we proved newtons second law with newtons second law? yes, you read that right. we proved f=ma works by using the formula f=ma. hey that makes sense! (sorry, we're all a little bitter about this)

Yes, but you probably met that girlfriend in schoo or at a school-sponsored event, so if you never went to school you might not have much of a social life, or at least you would have to work a lot harder at it.

actually, we met at some christian union thing, which is odd since neither of us believe in god...

I've found that Christianity will generally do that to people..

I think I missed something here. I must be the only person who actually enjoys school. But I think reason for this is because I like to learn new stuff and feel smart. Not that I show it all the time but if someone asks me something I know the answer to I feel better about myself just knowing it. I dont know if that makes sense. Though I admit school can be a drag sometimes like when you have three papers to write all due in the same week on top of 2 exams plus a presentation and applications to graduate/law school to do. I think school is more of an endurance test then anything else.
Don't you people agree?

I must say that as dorky as it sounds I did enjoy school unless I had some incredibly moronic teacher. 11th grade chem. My teachers favorite saying was "It is unless its not." Which makes learning Stoichiotomy FUCKING hard.

"Mrs. Dorsey are covalent bonds stronger than ionic?"
"Well they are unless they're not."


"Mrs. Dorsey is iron a metal?"
"Well it is unless its not."


"Mrs. Dorsey are you a complete moron?"
"Well I am unless im not?"

Pisses me off.

Please do not tell me I am the only one who noticed the Columbus/Thanksgiving comment!
If I did education my dear friends has failed you. WHY would they tell people about Columbus when he had NOTHING to do with Thanksgiving. Perhaps I should give you all the lessons again.
The Pilgrams ate with the Indians (now appropriately titled Native Americans- thou we should really call them aboriginals) and that is why we celebrate thanksgiving not because columbus came over looking for spices and shit. Just in case we all forgot the basics of American History (maybe they should have taught it ever year until graduation...)

i liked school (it was the best place to sleep)

i never learned anything at school other than whatever you learned the year before would change the next year. i.e. columbus discovering america/ next year it was "amerigo somethingorother"/ after that it was the vikings/ then the whole land bridge thing.

public education pisses me off that way. i want to learn it the right way the first time, not in out of order increments that confuse and misdirect.

i wonder if they say all that shit about columbus to get kids in to thanksgiving at an early age???
