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.

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.

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"
