Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The 2000s: The best or worst decade in recent history?

Dude has a fucking passion for teaching his subject, and even though it's an AP course and history at that, not one person in the class has less than a B.
you need to aim for engaging
cthulhu?
In fairness there are a lot of people who seem to become teachers just because it's the easiest way of being given responsibility over other people. I've dated a few! (That's mostly why I don't date teachers anymore Jesus H. Christ.)
I think we should pick up a few things from the Japanese system
Like you know how you aren't supposed to know anybody's grade? Fuck that noise. Take the grades and put everyone's grade, ranked, from top to bottom, in 50 point print on the gym wall.

This was my high school calculus class.
Mrs. Moulder loves her job. She loves what she teaches. So she's really good at it.
The same with my AP Euro class.
Yes this. Exactly this.

This actually would've motivated me more.
My teachers do this, with the projector they attach to their laptop

what if the soda was caffeine free?
please
It's clear that this won't be news to any of you, but you can't point your finger at any one place when it comes to the problems with the American educational system, unfortunately. Standardized testing, state requirements for curricula, teachers' unions, and the current (baffling) social/cultural trend away from valuing intellectualism are all interconnected and partially at fault.

Agreed.
My high school has admitted to passing students simply so they wouldn't be sixth year seniors.
But...but.. my feelings!!!
I guess you are going to suggest bringing dodgeball back as well.

When I stopped playing football my grades got better
I'll have more than enough credits to graduate after this year so I get to play football again and it won't matter if my senior year is fucked off!
I would have NEVER guessed this.
I want to be a history teacher because I get excited talking/hearing people talk about it and I've seen students who couldn't give a shit about anything get legitimately interested in learning about our past because of good teachers.
I wanna be that good community college teacher!
But then again I like engineering because learning and getting the hang of that stuff is so satisfying and it's challenging and interesting and, well, much more hopeful job-wise.
I want the world.
whoo next decade. go team
Trade schools would be best.
2 academic classes a day; go out and get a job for the rest of your credit.

They froze GPAs at my high school second semester of senior year.
Holy fuck did I get lazy.

Sorry, colloquial term. Should've been more clear.
if not, I am immediately heading to new orleans
Our coach used to make us stay after practice an extra hour to do homework together if we had anything below a 75% in any given class. The coaches that were teachers would stay and help with what they could. This was his policy, by the way, not our school system, or our school.

bro
Don't let her influence where you go to school.
It's not worth it.
Get the best education can at a school you have your heart set on.
I'd tell you not to do this to yourself, but you live somewhere with lots of good colleges
Yuss this, I was just about to mention this.
I'd like to see it become acceptable and even encouraged to look at trade schools instead of completing high school or more-or-less mandatory college, like we have now. We need to place value back upon having skilled tradesmen and craftsmen. Thousands of young idiots running around with degrees in Communication? Why not encourage people to go where their aptitudes lead them? Some people are just not suited to higher education, and there should be viable alternatives to pursuing it - by which I mean something other than a funny hat and a chair at a drive-thru window.

That's the plan anyway.
But drinking coffee or soda will still hydrate you more than not drinking anything at all!

We had some bullshit drama at our school with the coaches
Two of the basketball coaches, Lord and Kato, got in a fight in front of the basketball team. Kato got fired, which pissed a lot of the coaches off, because Lord started it, so Chou (the head football coach) resigned to make a statement, and since he had won us two championships in a row, he thought he'd get the position right back. He did not.
So there was a scramble to find another football coach and we've gone through two now and both years since Chou quit we've sucked ass and Chou is just back as a p.e. teacher now
But we have coach Pierce this year and he has a wonderful record so we're all super excited and none of you care about this but if you do then wooooo eagle rock high school football rules
