I agree with the highlighted part.

I disagree...

I really think that some people just aren't good at learning.

Some people just need to be taught in different ways.
The school system is a good example of this, it's made for the majority of kids, not the minority. Which is why I don't do well in school. It's not that I'm unable to learn.

True, but I wouldn't call teachers that can't teach to everyone 'bad teachers'. There would be very few good teachers if we did.

I agree.
What Norma J is talking about is an insanely awesome teacher.

While on the one hand, human life should never be undervalued, honestly, my participation in my membership at the Sonic Youth message board has resulted in making me think less of humans in general.

Alex's Trip · 11.28.2006, 10:04 PM

I really love education too. I really love math but I hate my teacher. He moves so slow because our class as a whole is not very smart, and we are the advanced class! (not to mention he quotes Gilligan's Island and does terrible impresonations of people). I totally understand what you mean when you say that kids are giving up in school too much.

m^a(t)h · 11.28.2006, 10:06 PM

i love math too

WHOREOHSCOPE · 11.28.2006, 10:07 PM

LMAO(gilligan's island)---- Yeah I'm pretty good at math , though my freshman year I was in IMC because I goto another district( come from inner-city) to a suburb school which is only a bus ride away from my home.... and I took these class placement tests--- and I totally blanked on them, bombed the math test. I'm a sophmore in Algebra , but I have a 102.00... A+.

"I don't give a damn about the whole human race. You're nothing but a pack of cards."

Somebody wrote that a long time ago.

blastscenealibi · 11.28.2006, 10:42 PM

No telling with that guy. He was nuts.

My teacher has a horrible grading system. 40% of the grade is based on participation. Last time I checked I had 114% because I always go up to the board and I get A's on the tests. It is a retarded class. (Sophomore: Algebra IIE)

Alex's Trip · 11.28.2006, 11:06 PM

It is really good, but the way the grading system works is retarded, so it isn't like I'm the greatest motherfucking math geek in the whole school or anything. He hands out extra participation points like candy and they are worth a lot of the grade.

towelie · 11.28.2006, 11:09 PM

One time I went to take a test that had a time limit of 50 minutes. But to do a good job I had to get high first because getting high gives me special test-taking powers. When the test started I went to sharpen my pencil and next think I know the test is over and I'm still sharpening my pencil. Next time I'm only gonna get a *little* high. I need to start being a more responsible towel. Anybody wanna get high?

krastian · 11.29.2006, 12:54 AM

Most of them suck.

gmku · 11.29.2006, 02:11 AM

People are getting meaner by the year, I swear. Guy in a pickup almost cut me down in the crosswalk the other day, and then he gave ME the finger.

static-harmony · 11.29.2006, 02:13 AM

Well the worst humans are Fat Americans.

No I'm not, I'm just being realistic. Which people get mad faster when their food is not served on time? I feel like I should apoligize for it.

gmku · 11.29.2006, 02:36 AM

That would be the nice thing to do. Hungry fat people have needs. And feelings.

static-harmony · 11.29.2006, 02:38 AM

I have a feeling that was sarcasm, was it?
