Our teachers used to threaten us with zeroes.
They threatened us all the time. We were terrified of zeroes.
We were terrified of zeroes.
Negroes and latrinos couldn't care less about zeros. Giving them %50 was part of the process of pushing them through the system so they could "graduate".
aargh, anger and frustration, but I know its true.
as an overacheiver, this shit drives me nuts
My father told me about these schemes, when I asked what the angry newsman was all about, even as a child it enraged me and father gave a nod because he knows that even then I knew, that folks like us were cheated by this and that this would have negative repercussions on future society as a whole, which we have to live in.
Now I'm all grown up and the world is on fire.
If I had told him, one day they will lockdown the whole world, he would have laughed and said impossible.
Well, here we are.
They were right about everything.
Wow! I know some beaners are really bad, I've delt with them all my life, but equating them with niggers? That seems cruel.
I didn't realize this was happening. What a joke.
I dont want to brag but I ve been a straight A student my whole life.
I finished top of my class, every time, I got two master's degrees, a certification in accounting, MBA... I am not smart or anything. Just work hard occasionally.
Especially in my Master's courses, I was asked to resubmit stuff. Assignments etc...
The feedback was always utter shit and inadequate and every single time I had to resubmit the same assignment with 0.001% changes...but only after pretending to hold meeting with tutors where we discussed shit.
You know...that thing you do where words come out of your mouth and agree and complete in each other's sentences and use "smart" lingo that everyone knows means shit?
Well....
I ve studied with students that could barely say good morning in English yet we all pretended that these students ...handed over assignments...and even dissertations? FUCKING NO WAY lol!!!
People get mad at you when you say that you "aren't that smart" then solidly and consistently outperform them in every mental task.
You already know how I know this, same way as you.
brag more. o7 they got it comin.
Let us consider the possible natural origins of the dislike for braggarts. Are they victors or slaves typically? What does one gain from the disliking or if nothing is gained, from what revelation does it protect the hater? Furthermore why is it sometimes so difficult and socially mandatory to 'not brag'.
There is controversy over who wrote this, but I like it a lot:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
(for the record when this was written, I'm pretty sure fabulous just meant "really good" and was not indicative of a desire to mutilate oneself)
remember the story about the boy who 'was sick' for school but it was field trip day?
Our culture is rife with warnings against dishonesty and laziness. I want it back.
My skin crawls a little just thinking back to a couple of times where I got zeroes... you know what it taught me? "Wow, I had a 94% in this class, and just because I didn't do this single project and got a zero, now I have a 71%. I'd better at least make an effort next time."
And then I graduated with A's and B's, and a C in math because my generation was the test subject for a sort of "proto-Common Core" math called "Integrated Math". 70% of my graduating class needed remedial math courses in college because they failed us so badly with this bullshit curriculum.
