Playing to the lowest shared denominator in the classroom has not proven to be beneficial for society.
While it may make some bleeding hearts somewhat load the end result is total garbage.

I comprehend I could probably answer most of those but I see no benefit in doing so...but I think I know most of that stuff
LOL.
What I find most wonderful is that very little of that will actually help a person in life. The biggest problems that everyone faces in life are dealing with loot and dealing with other people and yet school as it stands today addresses that almost not at all

in the light of the quality of education has steadily degraded over time since then, and even more so since the no child left behind (why doesn't the government cotton on to some kids don't want to learn?)
Now in school it seems they learn the alphabet all the way into 8th grade, if only we could save our schools and make them operative like China

I have 3 degrees and I ALWAYS say that more was required of grade schoolers and Elaborate Schoolers 40,50, 60 yrs ago and more than we require of college students today- except some of the most prestigious universities that is. Not only that, people back then were commonly better prepared for LIFE than the average grad today
Precisely! Kids know WTF they do.
Shoes shopping what are some great shoes?

I love converse but that's all i ever buy can anyone plagiarize?
ps. I don't wear heels but will accept flats any more suggestions
How do I deal with parents who don't believe in you?
Okay so I have to say that my procreator's respect for me is probably the center of my life. Though lately I've been letting them down a lot. My grades have dropped to the Cs and for the classes that I'm captivating, it'll seriously damage my chances of getting into grad school. I'm realistic about this, so I know my chances aren't great. That's why I'm winning the GREs and GRE subject tests. I'm also going into a research lab in which I get to work with RNA extraction, PCR, and various types of assays. I'll be intriguing on my own project so I get both hands on experience as well as experience in moderating what I do. In my opinion this is enough for me to pull myself back up. And even if I don't get into grad school, the experience will once back me up for when I find a job. But just once I wish that instead of saying, "she can't do this, so it's better to ot expect it from her." They'd say, "Possibly she still has a chance." I mean, they know what I'm doing, so it's not like they're not aware of the things I'm doing to go myself back up. But I can tell that they've lowered their standards of what to expect from me, and that is what hurts most of all. And I hate to admit it, but it's been affecting me as well. So I guess is how do I get out of this dispose of of a situation?
