Ok.

Do you even WANT to go through the earlier posts again?

.....Not really. XD I'm really sleepy right now.

Okay, we can talk about something else. Not now if you don't want to. :nice:

Um...... what else can we talk about? x_x

 

I fail at conversations. as you've probably noticed...

 

How about we tlk about how happy I am you're back now! :nice:

Awwww yeah we can talk about that. :nice:

 

Sometimes I just randomly thought about our conversation on Facebook chat. And I would start smiling, and nobody would know why. It still gives me the laughs. :lol:

Lols. I'll just be sitting any old where and then I think of a joke a stand-up comedian said on TV or something and I'll start giggling. People just attribute it to my apparent retardedness, I think. Most people actually underestimate how smart I am. I think it has to do with the fact that my voice is kind of annoying and stereotypical, somehow. :thinking:

 

Idk. Anyway that really, really sucks if somebody's being serious and you start randomly grinning because you aren't paying attention :shame: I've gotten in trouble for it a lot.

THIS!!

Yeah, I know.

Good thing I don't go to many funerals, eh? :rolleyes:

 

Also, thanks for agreeing w/ me. :wacko:

:lol:

 

Let's talk about...

 

 

 

:inquisitive::thinking:

 

Oh, I know! I told you about my education system, well, most things about it, now you tell me about yours.

Um.... All right. This is going to be very long and also not make any sense because our government is on average very stupid and does not have a fucking CLUE about how to educate people because they're bureaucrats, not teachers, and my particular school district has extra retardedness on top for no reason other than to spend a few otehr million dollars or something.

 

Fyi, I was randomly homeschooled during middle school so I don't know that much about the middle school culture or anything...

 

Okay, we have... about five major school divisions: pre-K (which is for pre-kindergarten) which is basically daycare where you learn to color inside hte lines, elementary school (at most schools this is 1st-5th grade, and includes kindergarten for some random reason) middle school (grades 6-8.... although I think when you're in 6th grade you're supposed to technically still be an elementary-schooler, but I don't know why this is because almost all middle schools now contain grades 6-8 so that's very weird... :inquisitive:), high school (9th-12th) and college (which is obviously optional. Obviously.)

 

A little while ago, before my time, schools used to treat the smart kids better; they had more extensive advanced programs, and so on, but then the government decided to stick its retarded nose in the school system and enacted something called the No Child Left Behind Act which involved stupifying the curriculum so that the stupid kids could understand it without working. :shifty: The smart kids were relegated to various programs where they interacted with a higher grade and so on. Or at least that's how it worked at my elementary school.

 

Middle school you sit around for three years and don't learn jack-shit

 

High school you start getting more homework and if you're lucky, you get much better, more involved teachers. If you're unlucky, though, you also don't learn jack-shit, I believe -- anyway, high-schoolers must take three years of math to get to graduation level, and three years of science, and four years of English, and..... either two or three years of Social Studies (which encompasses history/geography/et cetera). To get to a college you also have to take two years of a foriegn language; but as I understand it, most colleges outside of Kentucky actually require three years. (Kentucky, along with a few other more "southern" states, is on average incredibly stupid.)

 

So in high school, you take either 1) Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, then you can take Precalculus if you want to, or 2) Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalc, then you can take full Calculus. The latter is if you opted to NOT do COMPLETELY jack-shit in middle school and took Algebra 1 in eight grade -- I taught myself Algebra 1 from a textbook around fifth grade and then Algebra 2 from another textbook around sixth or seventh grade. Unfortunately because my school counselors are fucking retarded, I don't have the option of testing out of having to take Algebra 2, which is actually probably for the best because I've forgotten half of it. :shame:

 

Also...... ummm.... the science part is you take either one year of advanced biology, then a year of advanced chemistry, then a year of AP physics.... I think. THAT's if you're in the "advanced" program. There's another one called the Honors program which is a year of physics, then chemistry, then biology (which imo is the order those subjects SHOULD be taught in). There's also another level called Comprehensive but that's for the extrodinarily stupid kids and my school doesn't offer Comprehensive because it tries very hard to keep the retarded folk out. :dozey:

 

Okay, I should also explain the different levels we have more.... In elementary school, if you get good grades you get put in an Advanced program, which I think varies from school to school but really just teaches you about a grade level above what you would normally be learning. I wanted to just skip a year of elementary school and have done with it but the counselors at my old school wouldn't let me because they "didn't believe in it" and also I was probably FAR to immature to hang with kids a year older than me anyway. I was sort of a dick in elementary school, actually. but that's irrelevant.

 

Back on topic. In high school, there are........ WELLLL, there are either THREE or FOUR or FIVE levels of classes, DEPENDING on how you look at it, AND on what kind of school you go to. -_-

 

There's Comprehensive, Honors, and then there's Advanced (for most freshman/sophomore classes) AND/OR AP (which stands for ADVANCED PLACEMENT, NOT to be confused with ADVANCED...... nosirree bobcat, they're two completely different things, yessir, and you must NEVER get them confused, okay?) AP is almost the same as Advanced EXCEPT you get a certain amount of college credits for college (a VERY VERY VERY good thing, obviously, even though most of the courses are not ones you would take in college, but whatever) -- I've already explained the other two fairly well, sort of.... so anyway.

 

Freshmen usually can't take ANY AP classes except at MY school you can take ONE which is called AP Human Geography which is basically a geography class only instead of regular geography it's about memorizing vocabulary and shit. Sophomores can take AP World Civilization History, (often colloquially shortened to AP World or World Civ because god knows nobody can be bothered to pronounce a handfull of extra syllables....) and then juniors/seniors can take a whole shitload of AP classes.

 

Also some schools have the IB program which stands for International Baccalaureate which they should probably have in Serbia because apparently they have it everywhere and it's almost the same as AP except it's supposedly slightly harder (well.... depending on your perspective) and apparently Foriegn Colleges Really Care About Whether Or Not You Have Taken IB and also apparently Almost All American Colleges Couldn't Give A Rat's Ass Whether Or Not You Have Taken IB. (This is with Capital Letters because it is Important To Remember.)

 

And I'm sure I'm forgetting like a million extra retarded baubles and add-ons, but that's the gist of it :dozey:

 

Also many of those things may be applicable only to my particular school district, which according to my good teachers is Extra Retarded And Bureaucratic. I'm not really sure :thinking: Our education system isn't quite as universalized as Serbia's because we're so much larger.... BUT, all AP exams are nationwide and standardized, so that might be important. or it might not.

 

I'm sorry it was so long and confusing. Don't blame me, ok? :lol:

It might take me some time to understand all of this. :inquisitive:

And as much as I know we don't have IB or anything similar.

 

Our education system changed a bit when kids who now finished 6th grade were starting 1st grade. It stayed the same for all the older kids. I mean, it only changed for those who now finished 6th grade, or younger. It changed in terms of SUBJECTS BEING EXTREMELY EASY. Which sucks. I don't know why they did it. I saw the math book second graders are using. It's colored in a way that it seems it's for 4 or 5 year old kids.

Why is everybody against smart kids? :bigcry:

That's what happened to our school system. We still color occasionally in high school when our teachers are grading and stuff. -_- I mean, we don't often or anything, but when we do, it annoys me. Deeply.

 

I think governments would rather their children all be sort of smart than some be very smart and some others be stupid. I don't know.

 

Anyway I need to leave. :sad:

Bye bye.

May i join? :uhoh:

You may join if you want to have a smart discussion. Because that's what this thread is about. Unfortunately, I'm leaving now, so you will have to find somebody else to talk with you about smart things. :nice:

Goodbye. :nice:
