Arizona students must pass US citizenship test on civics

[The Brain]

I had all kinds of science in high school, and I totally destroyed the tests.

11th grade Chemistry completely derailed my ascent to medical school.  Only class I ever cheated in--once, used a crib note in the cover of the calculator--and managed to still fuck it up.

Chem (in 10th for us) almost ruined me, too.   I was terrible at the next year's physics as well, but luckily we had a hilarious drunk for a teacher who was always completely lit up by our class period right after lunch.  I got on his good side while he yelled at us and used a hose attachment to spray water from a sink onto his own desk to demonstrate something, so I did fine.

Kinda reassuring to know that chemistry sucked for everyone and not just me.

I had my chemistry teacher the year she was retiring, so there was nothing we could do or say to get around her being shitty.  In one memorable incident, she told one of my friends, who was a senior, "I don't care if you ace every test from now until the end of the semester; I don't like you, so you're not going to pass this class, and you're not going to graduate."  In front of the entire class.

She was also getting to be one of those cranky-senile old ladies, so she blamed us when she tossed an entire block of pure sodium into a bucket of water.  It was hilarious, though.  The amount of soot from the drop ceiling catching fire made it so her face looked like the result of one of the exploding cigar gags from Loony Tunes.

*clears throat* Perfect score on the national test.

And Chem didn't suck for me. It was my favorite subject. When we had to go around the room saying why we were interested in ap physics, I noted that there were no chem classes left that I could take.

I was a real dick to the kid that sat in front of me in high-school physics.

I took a great chemistry class in college, with hardly any of that scary math stuff. It was part of the unofficial "science for humanities majors" (or, per my dad, "Physics For Fags") course grouping that existed for fulfilling the math/science requirements, and this one took care of the lab requirement, too. 

I learned that paper bags from the grocery store actually take more oil to produce than plastic ones, even though the plastic ones are literally made out of it.

Your dad is coarse, but wise.  Words to contemplate.

Try, for once, to be less of a jackass.

I am reassured.  I sucked at chemistry.  I did come up with an inventive way to ace the test of the periodic table.  I brought a pair of binoculars to class and read a small reproduction from across the room.  The teacher told me that no one else had ever thought of that.

I had decided early on in high school that there was no practical use for chemistry or mathematics in "the real world" so I just read books in class instead, because that was the kind of snot-nosed little shit I was.

[Syt]

I was very good in math, but I've forgotten most I learned about infinitesimal calculus and how to solve equations. Never been too good at chemistry or physics, though and never got beyond a B. I found it really interesting, but it required more effort to learn than geography or history where it was easier to talk your way out of corners.

What the fuck? Dissecting cats in a biology class?

Yeah, that kind of snot-nosed kid is what makes up half of languish.

Well, I participated in chemistry olympics at school and now do not remember tenth of it.
