<rant=mild> I only "study" for finals, I never get homework, no I really have no homework, but I do take notes... then throw them away.

The reason our (american) highschools are a joke is b/c of standardized testing. All they teach is the damn test (which defeates the purpose of the test to begin with). And whats worse, is that the test for my state is stupidly easy. It makes sure you have a brain and a no.2 pencil (they give you the pencil)


an dat iz y we amerikanz r stoopid lol

In NZ you get 4 credits (NCEA system, I won't bother explaining it, but credits are good) for starting a chainsaw correctly in horticulture. Delivering a 3 minute speech gets you 3 credits.

Gotta love rants about schools

Anyway, post your thoughts on me writing 2007 on all my schoolwork for the past 4 months.

How do you manage to put 2007 on all your schoolwork o.o

Can you like... farm horticulture credits by starting up a whole bunch of chainsaws?


I was convinced it was 2007 back in march, fortunately it was only for about 3 hours. Even so, it was really weird the way everyone was insisting it was 2006.

At Cambridge High School you got credits for picking up rubbish.

And I remember Mark mentioning something about planting a plant gives you 9 credits or something in Horticulture.

well in Victoria, Australia we get marked by Grades(A,B,C etc...) in yr 11(wat im in) and to get an A is really easy if you have a dumb class because they use the class average in percent (usally about 55%) as the C mark and go from there. In Yr 12 they use percentages and some really stupid formula to work out your mark against the rest of the state they call it an ENTER score or sumthin..... so yer how can u think its 2007? it easy for me to remember if i forget. i just add my age onto 1990

Hehe, another Victorian.

At year 12, marks for each subject are based on a normal distribution with a mean of 30, and I think the standard deviation was 7. Highest you can get for a subject is 50, but anything 40+ is very good. This study score goes up or down depending on the difficulty of the subject, and all the study scores together help them to calculate the ENTER score. That's a general score out of 100 (It's actually out of 99.7 or 99.8 or some weird number like that) and is used for university applications among other things. The system is a bit confusing, but it seems to work okay.

Sorry, my fault

Been experimenting with a new Omega 31536000 prototype.

I thought that project was pulled, report to the base secret llama juices (inside the cow penned scissors of asgarnia).

Does delivering a four minute speech give you four credits?

It's a conspiracy!
