    Thing is, the only reason for this is to make sure students don't fail. It's partly because it costs more when students fail. The rest of the idea is that if kids fail, they feel bad, and then are traumatized for the rest of their life. :eyeball:

    The old system worked, didn't it? It did?! Yeah, I know. Fuck you, cunts.
    We have that here too, probably twice as bad, so don't feel lucky

    They didn't assign course numbers here in elem/middle/high school, it was just Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Algebra III, Pre-calculus. etc. etc.

    College Football FTW!
    Why? Because I like football? Nah, it's a good and entertaining sport, but I prefer this one better.

    Only sport I hate is Cricket, but it's because I don't get it.

    I liked using Virginia Tech I think in a NCAA game.

    Maybe they are preventing a possible Japan in Canada in order to stop students from suicide if they fail to get into college.

    Over here you fail the exam to get into college and it's no big deal, of course, many people think it's because you didn't studied enough and that shit, but actually I have noticed people who clear the exam to college and they're just plain idiots, and good students are left out of college for about six months, before they take the exam again.

    I know, it's off topic from what you posted. But going back to that, yeah, sounds like bullshit, let them fail, they're not gonna die or anything, like you said, it's more about the "OMG WHATZ GONNA HAPPEN TO MY SON?! IS HE GOING TO WORK AT BURGER KING THE REST OF HIS LIFE!" mothers. >__>

    So, still feel like people should proofread/check before posting?

    That's one of their main points, but they're only encouraging it. You fail, but still pass. Over and over. Then you hit a wall called reality and life. Suicide ensues for a lot of kids over here. Good intentions...

    [23:41] * R^K ([email protected]) has joined #emuparadise
    [23:41] * ChanServ sets mode: +o R^K
    [23:41] <+Deach> Then the Croation guy was like, deach you need football lessons?????
    [23:41] <+Deach> I was like, no, I don't like football.
    [23:41] <+Deach> Then he said, i wouldnt either with a national team likes yours
    [23:41] <+Deach> MOTHERFU-
