I have been writing an Honors English paper for about 3 hours--a weighted comparison of Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" and Ernest Hemingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
Two great stories, but I'm fed up with this. Tomorrow is the last day before spring break. Come on!
We have to submit it on this stupid school database site thing called moodle. So instead of writing the paper, I started ranting in my writing space. I ranted and cursed and then finally start writing, only to start ranting and cursing again.
Sure, the teacher will see this and get very upset, probably give me a Saturday school or something. But hell, superintendents look at it too. And the last time someone cursed and ranted on moodle, they got very mad at her.
Muahaha.
And to think, for 3 hours I could've been dissecting Scofield's and Martino's arrangement of "Sunny;" true, useful education.

kids these days. Man I know it seems cool now, but trust me the only one who thinks so is you. Sticking it to the man is a thing from the movies, you aren't really accomlishing anything by doing stuff liek this.
Only being a jackass to teachers is funny if they deserve it. I honestly can't stand the modern education system. I really think that we'd be much better off without all the computers and crap.
There was one year when for some reason we had a very low budget, had to conserve alot, etc. Oddly enough, I learned the most that year. There were discussions, less use of technology and sometimes even less use of paper. We used our minds more. Everytime I hear of a grant to school for some new smart board or computers in their desks I cringe.

just when they don't feel bad enough teaching obnoxious 14 year olds on a daily basis, you make their lives more difficult. good job kids, give yourselves a pat on the back.
it is pretty dumb to do it on a project or paper. I only tell them they suck when I know my teacher won't get pissed off, which as I said makes them laugh.
With all due respect guys, the best thing is just to suck it up and do it. You CHOSE to take and Honors/AP level course, so just do the work and then you can play hard. You'll be glad you put the work in later in life.
As a parent of a child in high school taking all honors courses I concur. She chose her classes. She works pretty damn hard to keep her grades high. As I have told her since middlle school.

The harder you work now the easiser you will be able to take it later in life.
I'll admit that AP courses can be insane, but they are intended to be college level courses. I've actually known students that have taken so many that they don't have to pay for their first semesters tuition. I'll be happy when the AP exams have passed.
Most AP classes are jokes. They're just more, harder work, not better teaching or higher thinking.

By the way, I didn't choose to take Honors English. My parents made me!
But it turns out she didn't see my comments, and I had to delete them anyway to start work on another paper. So whatever. I suppose I'm saved, but it would've felt nice to upset her.
Now that you are The Man, don't let anybody stick it to you.
