Everyone on Blockland is smart.

A.R.C has three Caps, thus making him genius!

[Valen]

I have A's and B's except for math I have a D :C

[Oasis]

And Albert Einstein hated/wasn't good at algebra If I remember right.

No, he hated literature.

[naturemon]

Cmon, you were lazy enough to not type Naturemon?

I didn't say that about capitals, I said it about numbers first off, second..I didn't really care for capitals letters before, like brickybob. When I first joined I didn't type properly.

O u
You have 2 capitals, you must be a semi-genius
amirite?

Also I don't think it would hurt to ask Badspot to change 1 letting in your name to a capital.

All you need to do is turn in your work on time with things correct.

In my school all you need to do is turn it in on time with decentness

The reason I put my username in all-lowercase is because it's generally easy to remember, and most older BBSes enforce all-lowercase.

Yup. I'm smrter thn Baldspot and Euphrates!1

I have A's and B's except for math I have a D :C

Same.

[Sirrus]

Good. I get B's and C's.

I didn't say that if you get stuffty grades you're smart. All I'm saying is that the grades you get in school have a hard time accurately representing how intelligent you actually are because of how those grades are determined.

Grading is not about intelligence. It's an aggregate of test scores, class work, and homework, which, in part, represent the following: Memorization, ability to devote yourself to one task, and organization/time management.

This is not to say that there isn't* intelligence involved in this process, because if you don't understand the concepts presented then obviously you're going to do poorly on all three things listed above but it is my belief that most schools (especially public) are less about learning and more about honing a particular set of skills for application in the workforce.

I see your point.
That makes me think the system is unjust for grades, though it's obviously not.

[Moybus]

I agree, the Blockland forum community is pretty smart, I don't care what you hatars say.

[Ronin]

From a look at the "I found out schools' secret" Topic and the many Computer topics, It seems like everyone on Blockland gets straight A's and is in Math honors and stuff.
It's almost like there's no one dumb on the Forums 'cept the newcomers and "others"...
Discuss.

What people claim and what is occurring in reality is quite different.

ASK ME ABOUT MY 18,000 CAMELS I WAS OFFERED

[Sirrus]

I see you're point.

Oh, it does what it's designed to do. However what it says it does it not what it was designed to do.
