Why do we censor in Schools?

QFT
grades arent always showing how smart you are, they show how bored you are. i know a few very smart people which fail many tests due to laziness.

I concur. I got kicked out of AP Physics enrollment for next year because my Honors Chem grade was a C (from skipping almost every homework assignment lol).

(I'm officially pissed at all the Regular Chem people who were allowed into AP Physics because that class is ridiculously easier compared to Honors Chem. My stupid counselor told me that people who received lower than a B in chem are generally the ones who struggle in AP Physics, but what of the regular chem people vs the honors chem people?)

Lame huh? Now I have to take Chem AND Physics at a Community College. >_>

Interestingly enough, my speech topic for speech class is how the No Child Left Behind Act (<<<standardized testing) is affecting kids in a negative way. Sucks tho, I still havnt found a personal story about it affecting someone <_< i may revert to using the movie Rocket Science as a comparison narrative.

There are signs that show that the No Child act ends up failing the smarter kids in the end, as they will eventually be isolated from the rest of the class due to being "above" the minimum mark without signs of falling below it, but this is usually in larger population areas, and places where there are lots of non-english native speakers (yay california X_X)
