well i was sitting down and having a chat with my mom about school and
grades, and we got into a discussion about a few of my classes.. AP
British Lit. and Algebra II in particular... and i got to thinking
about Collins Hill's academics in general... and this is the analysis
i've made:
Math Department- the math department at collins hill has no hope for
success at all. i'd say a good 2/3 of students fail a math course at
some point in their high school experience... i'm on track for failing
my second at the moment. Mr. Vezeau is the shittiest teacher ever, next
to Mrs. Daymude. ENGAGE YOUR FUCKING STUDENTS, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! i'm
sick of the boring notes on the overhead and homework assignments
graded out of 9 points. your grading systems are fucking shitty, your
lesson plans are boring, and you just suck.
Social Studies Department- 10th grade- probably alright, unless you had
Mrs. Thompson. the woman literally rewrites history herself JUST so you
will fail her tests! 11th grade- too easy. challenge me already.
overhead notes and a sad regurgitation of what's on the board followed
by an even more repulsive regurgitation of the notes in test form! oh
well.. i can't complain too much about a 95%.
Science Department- 9th grade- biology teachers take their jobs too
seriously. i mean come on... we just came from a middle school where we
were pretty much spoon fed the curriculum... we're not ready to jump
into a college level course! and science fair.... in 9th grade...
excuse me? pfft go fuck yourselves... 10th grade- this is probably the
only good portion of the science department at the entire school. good
teachers, interactive learning, fun labs, good tests. glad i had Dr.
Tsoi.... 11th grade- ok... answer me this... i want to be a writer...
now why in the HELL do i need to know anything about physics? such a
pointless class... i have Lotspiech... i can't recall a day where we've
actually had a REAL assignment. *shrugs* i have a 93%
Language Arts- 9th grade- again with the college level classes... cut
the shit, teach us the books and give us tests, enough said. 10th
grade- good if you're in AP and had Mrs. Taylor. i learned more from
that woman than i have from any other language arts teacher in my
schooling career... except perhaps Mrs. Johnston in 7th and 8th grade.
11th grade- AP British Lit.. the class is on BOOKS not on how well you
write. i wish Mrs. Hudmon would understand that. if you don't write
like an author, you're pretty much screwed in that class... and
unfortunately enough for me, i write in black and white... not rainbow.
i tell it like it is.. facts and nothing more. flowery writing is
supurfulous. it's not needed when analyzing a novel. fuck you 11th
grade AP. FUCK YOU.
Orchestra- was good a few years back...when people actually gave a shit
about music. it's declining by the year... people are getting lazy.
they'd rather watch the OC or Laguna Beach than practice for 15 minutes
on their fucking instrument which costed their parents an arm and leg
to buy for them. it's sad to think that the class i'm in is a more
advanced class, and yet i'll bet you 90% of the people have not
practiced their instruments ONCE this year. fucking pathetic. you don't
want to practice? move down to concert and save the talented musicians
the headache. you make me sick
german- good program, harder every year. doubt i'll keep it up next
year... maybe take german III over the summer if they offer it.
yeah i guess that's all for now...
