The Hangout Thread: The Teen Board's Hottest Club

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will spend the rest of its life thinking it’s an idiot.”
 
This is one of my favorite quotes on teaching.

Mine too! My 7th grade math teacher was really into this alternate-teaching kind of thing, he thought standardized tests were not fair and did not give every student an equal chance. And I remember thinking how angry I would be if he stopped giving us normal tests and graded us based on some fairness scale he had come up with. Now I can't remember exactly what his ideas were, but thinking back on it I agree with him. Of course I didn't agree with him at the time because I had a good grade in the class and didn't want him to change anything, but now that I've been in high school for a few years and have not excelled in all subjects I realize what he was talking about.
 

We're talking about birthing and labor and such in my family studies class, and we're basically divided into mothers who (rightfully so) are constantly adding their own experiences and judging us "young ones" (their words, not mine) for not knowing everything there is to know yet. Today we watched a birth video and they just judged everyone who looked away or said anything.

Basically all of my education classes are "down with standardized testing." It makes a lot of sense when you think about it, but by the time I'm a teacher I just know everything will have changed.

Apparently her and jai have been broken up or a little while now. They were cute too. I am just like ugh adorable about her and Nathan Skykes right now
 
If I don't have some sparkles somewhere in my outfit, I don't feel like it's complete
 
Woah mini heart attack. I put my laptop on the floor in one of my classes when we took our test and I just got super worried when I didn't remember picking it up, but I did. Phew.
 
people i knew from high school keep posting on facebook that someone died but they aren't naming names and i'd feel wrong to ask
 
I have stretched my fingers out too far doing piano i think because my thumb has been killing me for days now
 
it sucks that the thing i'm best at is art and i can get 100s in all my art classes but in the end that doesn't really matter because it's not math or science or considered "important"
 
By week this week! I will actually spend my weekend packing for Disney
 
tonight's Mo's last game :sad:

the greatest closer in the history of the game is about to play his last game in the pros.
 
So I didn't really want the My Magic + Bands to come out just cause I didn't really like the idea, but now Im sorta excited that I get to test them on my Halloween trip :cool1:
