When I was in high school a kid got in a car accident and he was still expected to turn in his final project because "he had plenty of time to do it beforehand." I forget whether he turned it in or not but it's still ******** . His mom had to turn it in or something, again not sure if he turned it in, but the teachers expected him to have someone deliver it to the school. Which bothered me even more because his ******* mom has better **** to worry about than his stupid **** project when he's in the damn hospital. What the *********** was up with these teachers?
I agree with both sides - he did have a lot of time to do it already, but he also should be given an extension. I mean it's not up to the school if the student does it in 1 day or 6 months, whatever the school prefers it doesn't matter. Point is that student received less time than others due to the incident and therefore deserves 'extra' time.
That actually sounds about the right price for 8 square feet of limestone tile. I'm going to assume they just tiled their floor or something and had leftover, because that would be way too expensive a joke for most college students.
Taking it a little bit further, the writing on the tablets looks like it was laser engraved (or however else they precisely engrave stone tablets) so this kid had some damn dedication to it
Excuses are just reasons why you should be excused for a particular action. Saying you refuse to accept any excuses is the same as saying you refuse to listen to reason which is ridiculous.
Now whether excuses should hold any water or not is a different story. For example,
I was working really hard on another assignment so I was late with this one is no excuse because you should've got the assignment done sooner.
I was hit by a truck so I had to miss two weeks of school and thus couldn't get any homework done, now that's an excuse.
Saying **** like 'I don't accept excuses' feels like one giant cop out for teachers to dodge the responsibilities of important part of their career.
I kinda agree with you, not all popular opinions are bandwagons, of course, but assuming that a bigger chunk of FJ community hasn't even been on tumblr and mostly views them through a small window of cringe-comps, I kinda doubt that the opinion, that "Tumblr is **** " is really all that valid anymore.
I don't think you realise how ******* retarded you look right now.
This site is so quick to criticise sites like Reddit or Tumblr and never bother to look at their own faults, and trust me in more ways than one this website is a steaming pile of autistic bull **** - and you know what? ******* idiots like you make it that way.
Do this website a favor...no - do the world a favor and go hang yourself you annoying cunt.
inb4 "lol guise I was just trolling I'm not that retarded I only have down syndrome, lol what is a back peddle guise calm down!?"
Also
>getting this insanely butthurt over me mentioning a specific group of autistic, retarded tumblr users to the point where you can't control your rage and demand me to kill myself.
Your people skills and understanding of social situations are very poor.
So because we're sometimes retards means that tumblr and reddit are absolutely never retards.
Genius logic right there, autismo. You should be president.
In fact, I literally addressed that in my comment:
"This site is so quick to criticise sites like Reddit or Tumblr and never bother to look at their own faults, and trust me in more ways than one this website is a steaming pile of autistic bull **** - and you know what? ******* idiots like you make it that way. "
No **** every other website has its faults, but you acting all high and mighty over them is pretty laughable.
This is the part where you start back peddling and seek help for your down syndrome. Also, learn to ******* read.
>"This site is so quick to criticise sites like Reddit or Tumblr and never bother to look at their own faults"
>"NO FJ IS RETARDED SO WE CAN'T CALL OTHER PEOPLE RETARDED"
1. Tumblr isn't **** , only a percent of it's users are, which are cherry-picked and brought to us, so we can laugh. Tumblr has it's own share of good people, as does almost every community on earth.
3. Does it matter if it was carved or printed? He was still being a dramatic ****
If he can call someone he doesn't know an "autistic retard" for a miniscule reason, why can't I?
**** people that do **** like that, dood. This guy got a ticket and he feels justified to punish some completely unrelated third party for his own mistakes.
>Being this butthurt
I don't care what side you're on. I want you to explain why you think I'm wrong.
So the kid was disagreeing with "We'll take your homework in any way as long as you turn it in" by wasting $70 on some ******* stone slabs, as well as whatever printed his essay on it.
His message is retarded.
His use of money is retarded.
The people aggressively defending tumblr for losing their **** over this are retarded.
**amalone used "*roll picture*"** **amalone rolled image**And then the teacher gives him an automatic F for having margins greater than an inch in MLA format.
And the award for "Worst School in America" goes to...
Seriously, if you are so obsessed with completion that you would demand students be willing to carve a stone tablet in order to complete assignments, then you're taking it too seriously. This is the cancer eating at the educational establishment: when we find out that we're not performing well, we say "Well I guess students need more work, more discipline, more difficult classes!" which is not true. They need teachers who are more heavily policed, more educated, and more attached to the material. They need classes more focused on how much you have learned, not how much you have written or done to reach the point you're at.
I think it's pretty obvious what the answer is to that, but if you honestly believe that ensuring we have an educated society with world-benchmark schools is not worth a bit of money from the population, then you don't have your priorities straight.
It's not that I don't
I do infact think it's WELL worth the money
but FJ likes to whine about "dem libruls" and complaining that everything the left ever conceives of amounts to nothing more than "HUR HUR THROW MONEY AT IT"
Which is likely only true for left-leaning commenters on sites like funnyjunk
Who aren't ******* economists
I don't know how to solve the problem past throwing money at it, but I bet you throw that money at someone who knows and you can solve the problem
