[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 312583, member: 84"] Ok. While we're on this subject................... Why are we pushing our kids so horribly hard in grade school/jr high when by high school (not all mind you) they're already starting the let's take the test so everyone can pass it next time junk??? So that by college they not only expect such behavior, they demand it? Obviously pushing them so hard they nearly don't have a childhood isn't working. Setting up tests they have to pass isn't working cuz now schools and far too many teachers are more worried about the kids passing those tests than actually teaching them to think or learn anything that sticks with them. Travis was extremely close to dropping his history class. The professor told them on the first day he didn't want to be there. Is a lousy teacher.....cuz he's not teachiing them a thing..........So Travis tells me he did an epic fail on the last exam. (he's not the only one, most of the class is also failing all the exams) Told him not to worry. Drop it before final week and get a professor that actually teaches it next quarter. Well, turned out he didn't have too. Professor curved the hades out of the grades and Travis' 65 got bounced right up to an 85!!! *shakes my head* OMG! :faint: I wonder if this is why after 5 yrs of college.......and far too many computer courses to count.....that Nichole's boyfriend still knows squat about computers?? He still goes to Travis for advice.....and help on fixing his own! And Travis had only 2 yrs at the tech school. (of course there they demanded the kids actually [B][I]learn[/I][/B] the stuff.)
