I took the AP test today. 3 hours of shittiness. I know i passed. I don't care what score though. It was satisifying. The months of hard work. Definitely one of the hardest class I have taken. One thing i don't like about high school is the catagorization of "academic classes" and "elective/slacking off classes." The title of the class isn't very important to me anymore, the important thing is, "what did i learn?" To judge a class value I think the most important thing is did the teacher teach, and do you actually care about what you're learning?
Another thing i don't understand is our grading scale.. I believe each person have their strenghtens and weaknesses. If you worked hard, pushed yourself, tried, i believe a person deserves an A. no, the grading scale shouldn't even be points and stuff, it should be fail, pass, and good. But i know life isn't fair. Someone can study day and night, do all the homework, review, and read every single word in the book, and still get a C because his or her strength lies elsewhere.. or they're just not built for school. But someone can do 1/2 the work and get a 100%. This system is so barbaric. it's crude, it's survival the fittest.
I guess nature can be cruel. Evolution. We are living in a social darwinism. But we make ourselves believe we're not and that we're against the system. Yet.... Yet. this very moment we marvel at our "superiority" over others. But... i guess it's no problem, it's part of evolution, part of nature.
