    Default Rant of the week

    We scheduled for next years classes today. They changed a lot of stuff, now you don't get to pick between regular, honors, and AP classes the consolers do that by looking at your grades and test scores. You don't get a choice. The assholes have me slotted for honors English 4 instead of regular. I find this very annoying because English isn't one of my better subjects. I made A's in the classes two years in a role only because the classes were easy. They are gona go and cause me way more work to keep my all A's and B's with this crap next year. What bull. I wouldn’t have done so well on those standardized tests if I knew they were going to do this to me for it.

    I can see the benefits of both ways.
    Our district allows the students to choose (as long as they have the pre-requisites for the particular course), and we like that too. The downside to that is that some kids think they can handle classes that they cannot, and it can drag down the whole class. My daughter has a friend in Honor's Algebra 2 with her, who just can't keep up and is failing. Everyone would be better off if she was placed in the correct level.

    But isn't this what liberalism strives for? Having guv'mint experts make choices for you?
    I'd think you'd be happy.

    Ask yourself this question: Is this problem/situation REALLY going to adversely affect my life? If the answer is 'no' then let it play out, aight? Wait and see how things unfold
    No you bitch about it, making yourself feel better in the process.

    LMAO I was just thinking the same thing, totally unreadable. I think remedial English is a better fit or English as a second language.

    Like I said, grammer/english isn't my best subject. That's why I don't want to be stuck in that class.

    I only make typos when using Apple products. I see all these Mac books "for dummies". Is there any other kind of Mac user?

    Except that this is a part of No Child Left Behind, Glock, a major Bush item from his first campaign, so yeah, not so much with the liberal thing

    When do you get the results? I'm feeling for you. It was the sickest I've ever seen my daughter.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
