I totally agree with you on this one Higbey. Except my situation is a little different. Take a gander at my Math Grade, C. Well I ace in math... Unfortunately my class goes at an extremely slow pace, where I get it first shot. So I am sitting around for the next 70 minutes of my class (Hurray block schedule) listening to a teacher say the same thing over and over attempting to drill it into the heads of kids that aren't even listening. We actually have spent a week on one lesson, and it wasn't even a hard one.
So I am falling asleep bored out of my mind, giving the same things handed the same ****ing problems everyday. Now we get a sub and he puts us in groups and it is the same thing you are dealing with, except he has the nerve to tell me I am wrong and his answer is right...
So I come to my teacher asking if I could get into a class that goes at a faster pace, she says sure understanding I understand the subject, unfortunately the district or school (I don't know nor care) says that my grade is too low and that I don't understand the subject. My teacher attempts to explain my low grade but they won't ****ing listen and just go off what my grade says. Not even bothering to at least let me test to get into a higher level class. So now I can stay in my standard math class surrounded by morons.
Hurray for school systems
