The Eternal Thread: With A Little Help From My Friends

[Taoju]

What y'all need is a system that stimulates critical thought, encourages rote learning the East Asian way, small class sizes, uber qualified teachers, higher levels of accessibilty, and lass Jeezush.

[snaps fingers]

Rote?! Fuck. No.

Emphasis on critical thought. Rote is to supplement knowledgez.

[Thafoo]

Found two pens next to each other that are the exact shade of orange and blue as portals.

This can't just be a coincidence. No... this is a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success.

[Mavorpen]

Feeling down for the first time in a while.

Gonna go distract myself with some chemistry. Night, TET.

[Luxew]

啊！对不起！对不起，联华！现在我死了！
I'm very sorry. cheap Lianhua.

Chinese is dangerous like that.

这是！你说的啥？
Save me and hopefully that is correct.

And quit encouraging regurgitation! So many people in my grade can recite information at the drop of a hat but they don't get it.

Oh, and more free-response questions would help a lot.

[New Maldorainia]

Is militant secularism any better?

Nope.

I come from private religious schools and the schools I went to were very liberal.

I did private religious schools and they tended to be middle of the road.

[Stern des Meeres]

I'm just trying to see how much Esperanto I remember. Not a lot.


Sama por mi. I need to pick it up again.

I purposely don't remember much Latin.

I need to remember it.
I have an exam next Wednesday.

[Lianhua (Ancient)]

Yeah. We're doing a new curriculum where I am, which is harder then previous. No Child Left Behind passes everyone for social matters/

[snaps fingers]

Learning East Asian Way?

No method. No strategy. Only brute force, rape-textbook and inspiring words from the mentor. o/

Students, your curriculum for this year is heavy. But with your rising spirit, conquer this year and get good grades!

Remembering it would remind me of Catholic school, and that ain't gonna happen.

[Qazox]

Hi-di-di-di-hi TET.

I have an exam in two weeks. Yay exams.

Rape-textbook!?> That reminds me of that anime called Yamada's - nevermind.

Precisely. I didn't believe how little school actually required us to think until this year when I got a teacher whose tests were completely free-response. It's wonderful. More teachers should do it.

THANK YOU!

I hated it when I was made to learn shit just to pass. I got Bs and Cs because of it on some of my subjects, as I am an analyzer, not a regurgitation machine.

[Sanguinea]

And anti-intellectualism in the more fundamentalist Christians often seen in the South and Midwest. Combine the two and it's a train wreck resulting in mediocrity. This religious stuff is strongest where one finds the most poverty in the South.

Fundamentalist Christianity *shudders*

Funny thing is these so called fundamentalists aren't so keen on the fundamentals of their faith.

Um. Rote/Regurg. is required for simple knowledge. The emphasis on critical thinking needs to be pushed. And talent.

[snaps fingers]

Lass Jeezush is needed, but atheists will still be discriminated anyhow, as one kid in my class discriminates my one friend for not believing in God. The 'East Asian' way is a dream here, because someone will bring up how 'unpatriotic'....

Too bad.

It is required.

And critical thinking is central and the main point that needs to get zee fooks acroooooossssss.

All that 'matters' is the grade, but what really it all matters on understanding, which my teacher asks everyday.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

THaFOO: I do what I must, because I can.

That's what schools did with me, I hated them.

I'm quite the same. I'm a person who likes to know how things work, whether it be in science or history or English. One of my teachers last year actually told us "you don't have to understand it, you just have to memorize it." Pissed me off to no end.

Do you speak Han as your native tongue, like Mandarin or Cantonese.

But you secretly enjoy it.
