Review basketball? Gimme a break. We all know our student teacher’s obsessed with basketball, but this is a little too much. Today we had a big test in history, so yesterday, of course, was the review game. Each person answered questions and then tried to throw a ball into a wastebasket from either of 7 spots, each giving a different amount of points if you made it in. Your team only scored points if you made it in, even if you already answered the question perfectly.

Yeah, it was fun. But it’s stupid for school. No way should one’s basketball skills affect whether they will receive extra credit on the test or not. My favorite part was when a girl spoke up and said, “What does this have to do with our World History skills?” I almost laughed out loud. Finally, someone else other than me and my friend share this viewpoint.

By the way, remember my English essay? My teacher loved it. She told me that she enjoyed reading it, and that she showed to her husband, she’ll show it to the director of the literature magazine at our school, and she’ll share it with her other classes. You know, if a teacher likes that kind of anti-current-education-methods kind of essay, perhaps my ideas aren’t that unpopular, after all.
