Ha, all you have to do is not competely piss the teacher off and you will be fine. High school is all about doing homework which is bitchwork but if you don't learn that sometimes you will have to do things you don't want to get ahead, you won't get real far.

I don't know what sort of school you go to Ibram, but the schools I've been in haven't valued students who parrot the teacher any where near as highly as those who can argue their point with clarity. Maybe it's a different system there. I don't really know, but if it's that different, it's pretty sad.

Well, I can tell you I'm definitely more of a thinker than a repeater, and i argue ALL my points, and the teachers', and my classmates'... but I'm practically failing because I don't do my homework (shuddup, I don't need a lecture), and all the homework is is parrotting back the same things they said in class. The teachers are (i hope) fond of me because I actually, y'know, DO shit in class (you know the whole meek asian school mindset...), but I nearly fail cause I won't do the rote shit.
