Evening, GG2!



Ha, this ties into my last post's mini-spiel. The problem with science (and mathematics) education in high schools here right now is that it tends to emphasise pure memorisation. I never saw topping Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Maths B as quite as significant as topping Geography. Your typical exam in the former subjects just asked you to recall some formulas. Your typical exam in Geography asked that you actually analyse information, make an original argument, and reach a conclusion sustained by evidence. I see no reason why the sciences and mathematics shouldn't be like that, and indeed Maths C did require that to an extent, but still, high school science and mathematics are mostly a poor joke and I hate to think how much going to university is like being thrown in the deep end for those students.

There is a good reason why I quit science in high school despite being #1 far and away at it. For somebody with a good memory, it was fucking BORING to just regurgitate information on demand.

Can't argue with any of that at all I did Chem and Psych, and Further Maths last year, and you're right, intellect doesn't play a big role. Psych especially. In the exam, even short answer questions, you've either memorised an answer/example from the text book or you haven't. There's no extended questions to test your intellect.

Anyway time for bed for me got a massively early start tomorrow.

What did you just call me?


A bit under the weather, besides from that I'm fine! At last the blisters in my mouth are gone! I can eat again!

And how've you been?

Chem? You fucking nerd.

*never did Sciences.*

Is there anything wrong with Chemistry?????

It makes no sense either, given that higher levels are a serious intellectual exercise. But welcome to the shithouse Aussie school system, where intelligence is not a prized commodity.

G'night.

 

[liamcool]

Yes.

Not enough pretty girls did it.

 

[Axver]

Yes.

Not enough pretty girls did it.

Oh now you're just sucking up to GG2.

 

[liamcool]

Oh now you're just sucking up to GG2.

My Croatian friend did it. When the hell was I sucking up to GG2?

 

[Axver]

My Croatian friend did it. When the hell was I sucking up to GG2?

She's a pretty girl who does chemistry and you'd just pissed her off.

 

[liamcool]

Am I dead now?

 

[Galeongirl]

Yes.

Not enough pretty girls did it.

So, you're calling me ugly then?

 

[liamcool]

So, you're calling me ugly then?

Not neccesarily. I don't know if you're pretty or not.

 

[Galeongirl]

Not neccesarily. I don't know if you're pretty or not.

But, according to you, pretty girls don't do chemistry.

 

[liamcool]

But, according to you, pretty girls don't do chemistry.

No, I said not enough of them do.

 

[Galeongirl]

Hm, that's roughly the same isn't it?


I'll go back to Axvers Harem then.

 

[liamcool]

You were never in my harem? I don't even have one!

 

[Axver]

Yeah, GG2, you don't want to put up with Lame Bean's shit.

Now who's doing the next thread? Not me, since I'm doing the awesome one that will follow it on 17/12.

 

[liamcool]

I'm not.

And what shit? The whole being a loving boyfriend shit?

 

[Axver]

I'm not.

And what shit? The whole being a loving boyfriend shit?

Afraid of a repeat of the Condom, France incident?

You, a loving boyfriend?

 

[liamcool]

Afraid of a repeat of the Condom, France incident?

You, a loving boyfriend?

Yeah, I don't want the condom to break.

FOAD

 

[Axver]

How have we not been to Nude, Netherlands yet?

 

[Galeongirl]

Nude????? I've never heard of that! have heard of Nuden tho..

Hey, don't make fun of that. I'm sure his blow up doll thinks he's lovely.

 

[Axver]

Nude is apparently in Gelderland. But yeah, maybe it's a typo of Nuden. That'd be disappointing.

Liam made a Superthread once. He took us to Condom, France, but fucked up the subject line. Then instead of editing it, he made a whole new thread. When a mod tried to merge the two threads, something went awry and all 226 posts were lost.

And ZING!
