Now half of this problem no longer applies to me since I’m in advanced classes but has anyone else noticed academic expectations going as low as possible but athletic expectation still high? I mean in English last year we spend forever on the simplest subjects because people didn’t “get it”, sometimes we even got much easier work than other classes because our class was so ******* stupid. Yet in my PE class I’m expected to run 2.5 kilometres in under 10 minutes for an A. This basically shows people will always value the dumb sack of **** who can run fast or is athletic (and a few notches lower on the evolution chart than me) over the intellectual because they dumb down the classes but not the athletic classes. If you can’t do a simple essay, don’t worry we’ll lower the standards to fit your stupid ***. But God help you if you don’t work out 24/7 and play sports in all your free time. Now I’m not bashing working out, I do it to stay in shape, but I don’t do it all the time.
