01/19/2006: "How did the lizzard get enough money for a keg in the first place?"

SO...I don't know. I'm sittin here and I really got nothing else to do. I'm pretty damn sure tha I just failed that test for Meyer, but I don't think I really care that much. I'm more interested in things that wer're actually covering. And, as far as I consider, if it's something that I can't recall after the point, then it couldn't have been something importaint enough to have had to be tested on in the first place. And as far as that goes, why do we need to learn a lot of the things we do? Mainly the only reason they're importaint is because we're tested on them. There's a lot of stuff we shouldn't have to be learning.

I think I just summed up the main argument of every teen in high school (who doesn't want to be here, bbut that's all of them, thus the parenthesis). But I got beamed in the face with a volley ball earlier, soI think I should be allowed to be a bit obvious at the moment.

Now, if I were to be intelligent about this argument, I would go on to say something that makes more sence and is based upon logic. Like...to start by looking at how by the end of middle school kids have gotten a good exposure to different topics in life (perhaps we should give them more variety at this point, and start solid basics a bit earlier), and they have mental ability to be realistic and so we don't have a whole buncha people all wanting to be astronauts. This way, by the time we got to high school we can leave it open for more personalized classes, cause electives allready have proved that people will lean towards what it looks like they will head towards in life, and so we'll just let that happen. And then, instead of testing to see if you're learning all the stuff being thrown at you, you'll be tested to see what you're best at. Sorta like a large scale career aptitude test that lets you learn while your future is becoming clearer.

And as for those who never really picked much of their own for electives or...anything...well...we're still gonna need people to clean the bathrooms.

F*R*A*G: You told me you knew the chosen one! You said you could get me his number! But you've used your powers for dumb!!!!
