Guys, I think I am getting the so-called "Mike Bettes Cold" *sneezes*

I hate my science teacher.  We were doing group work and when my partner went to look at my paper briefly, she caught him and picked both of our papers up, ripped them up, threw them away, and gave me and my partner both a 0 for cheating.  School systems these days are so unethical, it isn't even funny.

Welcome to my past. If you have Mr. Rhoades for Geometry, you may never come out alive.

The public school system pisses me off more and more each day.

Agreed. I cannot stand the stupid decisions that public schools make thinking it'll improve our education, which it does not. It just makes things worse and students less motivated to learn and we tend to slack more.

[Gil]

Have facts to back that up?

Tomorrow's the last day of March, yay. I don't know if April will be any better, that month gives me mixed feelings.

I sure hope it will be better. I am not too crazy about March's playlist, and I am hoping for at least a song or two from my wanted list to be on the April playlist. I am hoping the most for Breathe In, or at least one of the Moby songs I have on there too. I am not too crazy of Brian's job as LF Music Coordinator.

Yeah. It is. But what I am not looking forward to is April 1. I look forward to April 2.

I agreed. I hope next month's playlist doesn't have reused songs on it... I am looking forward for new songs rather than reused one.

What you should have done, was when she ripped up your paper, you should have cussed her out and walked out.

That's a HUGE no no.

surely you're joking. now-a-days you can get expelled for such a thing....walking out -- that's a different story.

I don't have it THAT bad at school, but Michigan Education requrements are just getting stricter and stricter. I happen to be in the first class (Class of 2011) that has to take 4 years of math, 4 years of English, 3 years of science, 3 years of Social Studies, and I forgot the other requirements. I do agree that stricter standards and poor teaching habits along with rules and regulations make some want to slack off a bit. I admit to having that problem too.

Yikes! In my high school days, it's 2 years of mAth, 2 years of science, 4 years of english, 3 years of history, and the rest are electives. what you mentioned, seems like requirements that if you are going to a university directly.
