There’s some fantastic people in my class, don’t get me wrong. I think half of my Calc class is going to U of M (overpriced for what you get if you ask me). I don’t think it’s the text book knowledge me generation is lacking, it seems to be the common sense. Letter grades have taking over face-to-face interviews and we’re loosing the human element to be more efficient.

There’s always a bell curve in pretty much everything, and I do see that in school too. There’s just as many rocket scientists as there are McPloyees in every class. We need both as both are vital for any economy too.

Having a very small class in high school, students “track” themselves early on. I could be almost certain who the kids in all my math and science classes were going to be since sophomore year. As a class, we’ve had Algebra I and II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, both AP and standard Chemistry, as well as AP and Standard Physics. Most of us are currently enrolled in AP Physics, and we get the same question almost every day:

“How do we convert meters to kilometers?”

3 years of advanced math and science with countless labs and busy work, no one knows how to do this simple conversion. God save us all.
