that's a shame

world history is fascinating

If I did not have a ton of sciences/maths to take I would have taken more history courses

World history was my best subject but they stopped teaching it because clearly america's 300 year history was more important

The problem we had was that most people finished the important history classes before they got all their critical thinking skills

So HS history was all boring shit (to most people)

it's ironic how america has a lot of history classes only about america and i've had history classes about everything but america

history is my favorite subject unless it's american history

then it's boring

Fire, I have had more netherlands history than American history tbh

because it came up during my canadian history course because of the world wars

that makes sense i suppose

only american history I can remember hearing was shit relevant to Canada

i lectured dialga a bunch about the dutch slave trade some time ago i'm pretty sure

that was fun

oh wait no that was umbreon

same difference

umbreon knows more about dutch history than most americans now Kappa

you're welcome umbreon

I already knew about the slave trade anyway

Here's some chemistry for Bopit

aluminium

>assuming error when it is likely that 0.01g just got lost during measurement Kappa

unit analysis tells me it is A

They give you the equation

what

yeah but I don't have that

Hopefully kids are smart enough to figure this out

so I did unit analysis

Letters

That's what I mean Pika

ah I see

There are a bunch of periodic table reading questions too

Maybe it would be hard if you had to do it by memory

but that is really basic if you have the table

"Which element of these 4 had 6 valence electrons"

Some of them require you to know how the table works

Oh, there are also PH questions

So you need to know whether a 2 on the scale is basic or acidic

that is a basic question

badum

tsssss

I feel stupid so i'm just going to leave

these questions make me with this is all I had to do to graduate in hs. My exams were much harder than these

also rip

These are standardized tests, not the actual tests

Actual tests are hard

Standardized tests (forus in Virginia) are written 4-5 grade levels beneath you, so everyone will pass

ah

I see

And if you don't you just keep taking them

What the fuck is even the point of them then]

wasting money?

No, the school gets funding from the state based on their pass rate

To ensure (more than anything) they're motivating their students and teaching them at some base level

unless your in my state

See, we had the threat of being "held back" but in practice it was only to punish those who didn't try, to ensure people didn't just fill in random answers and leave after 5 minutes

Because there was no way to; in good faith, make these a part of the students' grade

oof

It feels like the schools here receive funding based on how much they torture the students

isn't it all quota based anyways

This is a sample from an actual math final for grade 11/12

seems easier than the math tests I typically did

not much easier though

except the integrals, since my hs did not cover that

i back boys

I feel like they tried to keep calculus topics easier, because students usually had less experience with them

welcome back

ive been gone from my house for so long that my phone forgot my wifi network

wait no im dumb
