The Big Dipper is STUPID: a 5-year FLASHBACK blog!

Do kids in school still have to learn about the constellations?  How is that education?  They don't even look like anything.  I remember the teacher showing us that crap.

"See how it looks like a horse?"

"Umm, no."

"Use your imagination."

"Yeah, cause I'M wrong, right?"

IDEA: Ban the constellations.

Another question, what's with the cursive writing?  It's 2007.  If I find out kids are still learning that I am gonna be upset about it.  I bet in China they are learning to type and build spaceships instead.

Cursive writing sucked.  What the fuck was with that capital Q?  It was totally wrong-looking.  After awhile I started making up my own versions of the letters I didn't like.  I had this cool capital F that I would show you but I don't know how to draw it on here.  Amazingly, my renegade cursive was a thing that teachers were always cool about.  I always got away with it.  I think other kids were jealous.

Why do teachers in elementary school hate "talking" SO MUCH?  They are always spazzing out and screaming and yelling like talking "out of turn" is the most terrible thing you can do.  It's just TALKING.  and "notes," if you get caught passing a note all hell breaks loose.  Some teachers like to intercept the note and read it out loud.  If you want to see a teacher get really mad, let yourself get caught passing a note like "Math is okay but I can't wait for SCIENCE!"  You would think they would appreciate the humor but they DON'T.
