@puzzlezaddict I'm sorry that you had terrible teachers like that, but not all of the system is like that.
I understand standardized tests. But I am sorry for the plummy teachers who apparently sucked all the fun out of learning...
No one was ever freaking out at my school like it sounds they were at yours.
Btw, I took AP US History too, happy to have something in common. And no, I probably did not do as well as igazor :disappointed:
My school had fun learning. For instance, in AP Biology we got to draw things, make models, experiment on freshmen, and we went to the zoo together in New York, we took a train out. It was bomb. Editing in here: We learned so much better because of this, we wanted to know because we could see it all.
I'm really lucky to live where I live I guess. They gave all the seniors iPad minis for the year. I hear they've now bought more and distribute to the juniors as well.
I sure know why my parents chose to move to this town for its education system. None of us really felt the need to rebel against the testing, just the dresscode ;)
I'm sorry your teachers weren't any fun :confused:
