Heh heh heh.
I still haven’t done any homework besides study for Chem and English. >>; I should get started on thse darn CAS journals. But I fell asleep.
I do have a rant though.
Today in the paper, they published “elementary school report cards.” We’ve had secondary school report cards for quite some time now, and well, the teacher’s union doesn’t like them, neither does the left-wing party, but they still exist, despite all protests. These “report cards” are based on standardized test results, and then the schools are ranked.
I want to know why this kind of thing is necessary. My elementary school finished below average, but I still got an excellent education there, because of my teachers. Elementary schools aren’t like high schools–you just can’t judge them in the same way. There is little standardization between schools. It all depends on the teachers you have. I was lucky, and had good teachers throughout my elementary school career. I was also a keen student, so I don’t know how much of that you can separate. (I mean, is my success now due to my own personal motivation or was it due to the shaping by my teachers?)
Besides, it’s not like elementary school COUNTS for anything. >>; All this does is make parents mad at teachers.
Sheesh.
The CAS journal is calling me… >>;
