Legit the decisions you made in high school matter a fuck ton, like the most important moment in life arguably is collage applications

One hour of work during hs is like 10-20 hours as an adult

if you make a test where an Average Student In The Class, or even a ~75th percentile student, can get close to a perfect score, the test isn’t going to do a very good job of differentiating between people at the upper end of the Ability To Do Your Class

ye fair

anyways regardless of how you handle curves it seems obviously really stupid to distribute school funding based on how well people do on tests designed and administered by the same school

like even if the tests aren’t curved it’s not hard to just make a test that’s really really easy and nearly anyone at your school can get a good score on

IT class in hs were the best. we were split in two groups. both teachers gathered in one of the computer rooms to drink coffee together. me and the boys would play games. the girls would either browse facebook or talk about stuff or drink coffee outside

music classes (up until middle school-ish i dont think we had it later) it was group singing only. we didnt have instruments. teacher would play a recording from a boombox. then the trick was to lip sync to pretend youre singing and make some noise just in case

Compared to then? not at all. I worked to the bone back then so now I can relax more. Now I almost always get to sleep, get the internet, can relax even while working, have financial security, it doesnt compare to hs.

Back then if I had an hour of free time I would consider that a luxury, and realistically I only ever got a few hours a month, which I would spend with my best friends.

???why is the guy I presume is a Fire Nation spy/terrorist in Omashu wearing a red hood???

“I still don’t understand what Firebenders are doing in the Earth Kingdom city” are you stupid. I feel like this is not hard to figure out from the fact that. you observed Fire Nation(ish)-originated terrorism. and then observed a firebender plotting to do terrorism. and you know that the Fire Nation is waging a war against the Earth Kingdom.
