I remember reading a Coastie maxim that said something along the lines of "When you can't save everyone, try and save those with the most potential."
If only there was something to be saved from, lol.
Then there's the matter of the difficulty of the curriculum...
Which is rarely based on the individual, but on the scores the school will score. They aren't going to teach us something that's not on our standard tests.
I imagine it would also have to do with the intellect of the individual, as there are people in my Algebra class who don't understand a thing that my teacher is saying, yet I get it perfectly.
Even with the level of intellect, there are people out there that just can't get the hang of intermediate forms of mathematics, yet can do everything else. I got up to Calculus before I was like "nope, no way, ain't gonna happen", and left it at that.
Adding on to my quoted phrase there: some schools go completely hard-core on the curriculum, whereas schools that are more lenient on the difficulty level. I'd imagine that there are some schools over in California that are a couple notches below Indiana's standards. And don't get me started about Texas. Texas regulates what textbooks are submitted. They are taking Thomas Jefferson out of the majority of school curriculum. Sometimes I just want to take a map of the U.S., grab a steak knife, imagine the map being the nation, and just perforate edges where the borders of Texas are and just RIP IT OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!
High School is pretty okay, I think. All my academic classes are easy, and I only have to deal with my crazy art teacher when somebody pisses her off. But gym... I'm convinced it's a Feminazi war zone. We're apparently not ever supposed to be superior to any female on the court, ever. It's been implied countless times with 'you can't do that!' and 'that's cheating!' simply because most of us can kick harder or throw faster. And it's complete bullshit. there are athletic girls in our class, but most often, it's them calling us on a high kick, or a ball that they couldn't catch.
Other than that, there's the wannabe cool kids, the wiggers, a scene kid for every two normal people(though I don't have much of a problem with that), the Bible club(I'm seriously thinking about proposing an FSM club), and the office workers calling my math teacher every thursday for a Zaxby's chicken salad.
I'm just glad I hang out with all the weirdos and the 'other' category. Makes school much more lulzworthy. And, surprisingly more educational, as apposed to hanging with the in-crowd or any other pre-established cliche cliques.

But then you'll kill me and like ten other people on here.
How about you rip out our crappy regulators hearts? It will save me the headache of dying, that's for sure.
I used to feel proud about living here, but since I met my first European (They STILL think we ride horses to school) , I've realized Texas is a bit of a laughing stock, I wish I could just vacuum bomb the Board of Education.
I thought that during the French revolution, the conservative members of the Assembly sat on the left... Meh... I don't know, but yeah, it sucks having people like that dictate what I'm supposed to learn.
The entirety of Jefferson was replaced with a FRENCHMAN who never even lived in this country? What exactly does an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation who lived from 1509 to 1564 have to do with our nation founded two hundred years later?
Oh, and I'm talking about the political spectrum, pHacon Far-righters being Conservative, Far-lefters being Liberal, stuff like that

The words that came to me were literaly: "Oh! Cazzo!" I am sure you'll find out the meaning.
(I'm seriously thinking about proposing an FSM club)
How did I not catch this? Lulz But really, the FSM makes a ton more sense than the Bible, least it explains the fossil record and theories of evolution.
