Good question. Wink’s parents are titans that eat their own children. Luckily, your
Supreme Being has been saved Herself from this fate.</p>
<p>no way!!! omg michigan you should teach that to florida!</p>
<p>that sucks d-yu. my parents grasp that there is significance to SAT and ACT but they dont really know. the luck of a first generation child ay. and whooo fridge you excaped the harrowing capers of greek mythology</p>
<p>I think the objective is to keep smart people in Michigan due to the massive brain drain. Try Georgia, your neighbor. Don’t they have some program that, if one achieves a certain GPA or something, the state will pay tuition to any state university? I might be mistaken.</p>
<p>o florida has bright futures but whatever. there isnt enough instant gratification in the school systems.</p>
<p>darn, my state doesn’t have one of those programs either … a local university does offer decent scholarships tho’</p>
<p>the dumb thing is that my parents admitted to me beating their expectations… yet they’re still being nazis. w…t…f… all that will change after March 20,… hopefully</p>
<p>what state are you in d-yu?</p>
<p>What do you mean, panic, by instant gratification in school systems?</p>
<p>“the dumb thing is that my parents admitted to me beating their expectations… yet they’re still being nazis. w…t…f…”</p>
<p>How did you do, D-Yu, if you don’t mind my asking?</p>
<p>and fridge i just mean id love to have a check in the mail for every A i get a semester. lol im a true american cant you see.</p>
<p>panic – so true. In my debate class, we once had a discussion about whether students should get paid to go to school and/or get good grades…</p>
<p>get good grades. anyone can Go, it is the excelling that trips people up.</p>
<p>mls and fridge - 232 in Washington (159/160)…hence how i learned about TASP and all the amazing people applying</p>
<p>phuket, thailand
your parents can go to hell.</p>
<p>and i dont know anything about washington’s school system. bummer.</p>
<p>I think our ultimate reasoning was that if students got paid for good grades or for going to school, then they would be less likely to have part-time jobs which would cause an economic downturn or something weird like that.</p>
<p>It’s sad that we need external motivations for something that /should/ theoretically be internally rewards (i.e. learning). I don’t mind learning…it’s just the tests and the papers and the research projects that get me.</p>
<p>232?! That’s amazing.
I found out about TASP from the mail…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>forgive me for my stupidity, but, huh?</p>
<p>i found out by mail as well</p>
<p>Thailand is mine! Mwahahahaha!</p>
<p>yeah i dont mind learning and debating with people. heck ill write a paper or two.but expectations out there kill that. your supposed to learn because you want to but if you just go off and become a vagrant or something its a waste. you have to go to school and college and learn something so you can make a living and be a decent person. i can be intelligent without training to a test. im more than a freaking score, even if i do fabulously well.</p>
<p>i have a friend who whenever the topic of the future or SATs/ACTs comes up she mentions my scores. it kills me, like *** im not that number!!!</p>
<p>ok rant over.</p>
<p>o the thailand thing is from juno, instead of saying the f-word she says that. i learned about tasp from me being in tass, which i think i was nominated for.</p>
<p>I kind of talked a little about what panic said earlier in my future plans essay (I don’t know why, I just couldn’t think of anything else to say) –> people become the equivalent of their SAT scores and GPAs…</p>
