<p>@bingington - Who are you talking to? I don’t have a mental illness… I’m confused about who you’re addressing, lol. Anyways, just stay on track. Your thoughts on slackers in class?</p>
<p>clementines of course</p>
<p>idk my teachers don’t have sympathy for slackers :)</p>
<p>@binginton - Oh, ok. I usually see posts in someone’s thread that aren’t explicitly addressed to someone else as being addressed to OP, that’s why I was concerned/confused. </p>
<p>Well I certainly envy you because my teachers are… doormats when it comes to slackers. But my AP World teacher came down so hard on slackers last year, he basically made their lives awful. He does it across the board with his CP, Honors, and AP classes.</p>
<p>Bingington you fool! O.O don’t bring the fricken argument back into context!</p>
<p>I read sciencekid’s comment in a very dignified British accent.</p>
<p>LOL! It’s funny because I have a pretty good British accent myself 
"yes yes… Vuhy intriguing… Huh hu hu…</p>
<p>I can’t do accents if my life depended on it. My AP World teacher is English (the irony of being taught world history by a White English man…) and his accent is pretty subtle. I wish I sounded like I was on Downton Abbey.</p>
<p>Lol! There’s a girl in my class who talks like she has a British accent but she totally fakes it. She’s black and everyone is like, " why’re you talking like that? Stop it". Lol, it’s funny, I actually considered going to Europe to “obtain” a British accent. That would be superfluous though…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Superfluous in what sense? I don’t really see a reason to have a British accent in the first place.</p>
<p>Lol what? It is superfluous because I’m literally traveling to another continent just to pick up an accent when i could just find some immigrant in the U.S. to learn from. Furthermore, you just supported that reasoning. You sure you know what that means? Also, it isn’t your reasoning that matters. No one ever implied that it was a necessity for YOU to have such a trait.</p>
<p>
Well I mean if you were born in England and all and lived there all your life it would be kind of weird to not have one…</p>
<p>True, and furthermore although my heritage wasn’t implied, you still don’t know it, thus even further proving your “ignorance”.</p>
<p>What does her being black have to do with her accent
black people can be British…</p>
<p>And also, this thread has gone off the deep end.</p>
<p>LOL at everyone’s desperate attempts to change the topic. </p>
<p>and thanks, bingington (i guess?). possibly you realize that people with mental illness can still be normal…</p>
<p>mental illness =/= insanity</p>
<p>i really hope someone struggling with mental illness doesn’t read this thread.</p>
<p>Despite this kid’s slacker ways, he does offer surprisingly insightful comments in class discussions since our class discussions rarely have to do with the text/homework - it isn’t a redeeming quality large enough to excuse the fact that he never does his work and gets away with it… but hey, there’s nothing I can do. LOL. I can’t change it. </p>
<p>I sat in my AP World teacher’s CP history class for my study hall and 15 out of the 20 kids didn’t do their homework and he came down on them like they weren’t gonna live to see tomorrow… oh boy.</p>
<p>the title of this thread is weird</p>
<p>@Atlantic
See, you still don’t understand. I’m obviously implying that because she was black is why people questioned her for having an accent. Do you really think that’s common? I didn’t judge her by her ethnic background, I’m saying that’s what other people thought.</p>
<p>@Sciencekid99 Superfluous doesn’t mean just unnecessary. It means unnecessary in the sense of being more than enough. So why is it “more than enough” to have a British accent? Either you have one or you don’t. Plain & simple.</p>
