Good think I actually learned how to learn and think and solve problems instead of worrying about what questions might be on a test. I mean, I'd hate to end up like the complete ****ing idiots in the back of the classroom who were always asking, "Will this be on the test?"
But perhaps I'm being too harsh. After all, every society needs people to collect the garbage.  |
Maybe you're being too harsh because you have deluded yourself into believing that tests in school are the same as the tests we see in real life. When your boss/wife/kid asks you a question do they lock you in a room & expect you to come up with an answer all by your self? I doubt it.
And btw, anybody who would say "every society needs people to collect the garbage" is a elitist prick. Sad to be you.
