...i suddenly remember our french teacher (an australian woman who'd never been to france) tried to play it to us in class in year 8 for some reason, kids were smoking weed up the back of the class and scratching swastikas into all the desks

incidentally when i was 7 my school desk for an entire semester had a large swastika carved into it and reinforced with pen (this was the junior primary equivalent of torching a building). i believe the teacher selected the desk for me quite innocently, teachers in my town were permanently on the edge of a nervous breakdown so i don't think she even noticed it. i hadn't been taught about the holocaust yet and didn't recognise the symbol so i thought it was pretty and when other kids were drawing the cool s in chalk on the asphalt i'd be happily drawing bright pink swastikas everywhere

she just put the aristocats up on the tiny circa-1980 classroom television in front of thirty mostly-poor rural 14-year-olds and walked away for an hour

i of course did not wreak havoc because i was working on my 148-a5-page handwritten kingdom hearts original character opus in the second-front row closest to the wall which was my seat in every class because it was private, close enough to the door for safety, but not right at the front where only sweet simple idiots did sit. in closing, to everyone itt who has ragged on kingdom hearts: gently caress you. (aristocats is fair game, it really isn't very good, i think the drunk goose was my favourite character)

Man, Steele's 3 sidekicks are animated with such character. I kinda want to go through the shots of them frame-by-frame just to study them.

It's actually kind of jarring how much animation goes into Steele and his henchdogs, while Balto is animated so flatly. It makes him a lot less interesting as a protagonist when his character and animation is so bland.

I made it through high school constantly on the verge of failing classes, not because I couldn't do the work or got consistently bad grades, but because I knew I could get a perfect score on anything I wanted to, and did so just often enough to keep myself above the passing line, and just... didn't do any other work.

It's way more common than you think. I went to a high school that graded exams and the loving State assessment test so heavily that just passing those will get you a C or C+ grade, which isn't great but enough to let you graduate. Let's put it this way, my state assessment test is so heavily weighted that for two years in high school and one year in middle school in math classes, we're solely taught how to answer the questions. Not how to solve it, but how to answer it.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:you're literally thirty or something and still telling yourself the "I'm brilliant, just too lazy to be accomplished" story It is my experience that it is entirely possible to do that in high school, at least in the Ohio public school district I attended. In my case, depression and anxiety issues began to heavily interfere with my academics (so it's less I chose not to do the work and more I couldn't do it), but I still passed most of my courses (barely) because tests counted for such a large percentage of my grade. It's kind of weird reading everyone's school experiences, because over a five year period I went from straight A teacher's pet, to being derided by my teachers for being "brilliant but lazy" (which was a significant source of depression for a long while: if I was so brilliant then why couldn't I do the work?), to drat nearly dropping out.

Oh, poo poo, I forgot about State Assessment Tests. My school advisor was legitimately distressed by the discrepancy between my high grades on the Proficiency Tests compared to my actual school grades. Ohio had a thing where public schools got more compensation from the state based on how well the average student scored on those tests, and apparently my district was trying very hard to find some correlation between the classes and teachers students had and how well they scored on their Proficiency Tests. The handful of students who did well on the tests but poorly in class completely hosed up their calculations. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 1, 2017 |

I distinctly recall excelling in high school, barely feeling a need to finish the work, feeling smart and superior, and then proceeded to have my rear end kicked repeatedly by college. I'm still trying to learn good study habits instead of slacking off because of some dumb arrogance that I can wing it. Public schools are not good at challenging kids who do well.

I was an excellent writer in high school, got a bunch of scholastic awards for terrible garbage poetry and Lacanian deconstructions of Shakespeare while walking the tightrope between Cs and Ds in math, and so my horrible academic advisor urged me to get a literature degree so I could be, presumably, a professional Lacanian literature critic when I grew up. I didn't watch a lot of cartoons, except for All Dogs Go To Heaven, religiously.

Honestly, this story sounds kind of familiar to me; I was also more or less a straight A student in high school (up until my Senior year, anyway, I caught Senioritis something hard), but then college proved to be significantly more difficult than high school ever was, to the point that my final college GPA was ultimately sub-3.0. Anyway, considering the subject at hand and the thread we're discussing it in, how long until somebody uses it to segue into A Goofy Movie? I mean, okay, Max didn't go to college until An Extremely Goofy Movie apparently, but I was reminded of it regardless.

High school is terrible at actually educating, but super good and effective at engendering in teenagers an intensely adversarial attitude towards learning and educators.
