"I wuv beinz an American"

I saw a "This road is closed" sign written, "This rode is closed" while me and 3 of my friends were in a car. I challenged them to figure out what was wrong with it and after about like 30 seconds Andrew says, "Dude...they spelled road wrong. Harhar. It's funny. Doy, doy. I like c0ckz." Needless to say, I was sad.

I saw in the news this afternoon while I was channel surfing (surfing is bitchin) that the standardized tests the FCAT and the SATs have been dumbed down. The reason? “To many students were failing our standardized tests, so we decided to make it easier on them” some moron explains.

I swear I would shoot myself in the head if I got even one wrong in my FCAT reading test. They asked questions lke “Sally was having an abnormally bad day. In this sentence what does the word abnormally mean? A. normal B. not normal C. cats D. I love goats.” It was obviously C. Duh!

By the eighth grade (or year for you non-Americans, meaning everyone but me), kids now only learned 5 words for each letter of the alphabet, with the exception of the letters N through Z, which they hadn’t gotten to yet. So when the school board asks little 12 year olds to describe their education, they had the choice of GOOD, APPLE, and CAT. Guess which one they said.

But seriously I guess the education is okay over here. I can’t go on talking too much garbage about the school systems here because they do get the job done; it’s just stupid kids that slow the system down a bit. If you have a great number of people in your country there is bound to be a lot of stupid ones. I do love America very much and I wouldn’t like to live anywhere else but it would be arrogant to say that some things don’t need changing.

(holy crap I wrote way to much about this)

PS: I got my hair spiked and dyed green and blue! It looks fecking sweet now!:-D

Drunkeh, biggest American penis on SR!!!!!! WOOH!

Sound like townies... Only a bit dimmer and less 'ard.

Drunk Cow, some of that post could have been interpretated as OFFENSIVE.

I think I can use this as proof of the fact that although the British education system sucks, the American one sucks even more! :)

Offensive to who?

To me?

I'm seriosly the only american here and I'm basically stating that the school system is a little edgy due to some kids that the boards feel that they must dumb down tests to please.

Haha.
Speak for yourself.

I want to visit america, and drive from one end to the other. I want to see the vast ice-capped mountain expanses of alaska, and the nice and toasty warm keyes of florida.

I don't go on holiday nearly enough.

Maybe I'll settle for a week or two in newquay .... :D

Heh. There are plenty of idiots in Britain too :^)

Mind you, if your going to spend billions of dollars on killing people, a trillion dollars (is there even that much money in the world? That belongs in an Austin Powers sketch!) on going to mars, and STILL cut taxes for rich people, you've got to expect to feel the pinch somewhere.

Hell, it's not like the school kids can vote. And if they could there'd be a way to scrub the democrats off the register.


Not a pop at america, only bush :^D
