My how times have changed.

When I was in middle school, we took lots of standardized tests. The results for each student were read aloud to the class... I guess that was a form of motivation.

Most of the class always got 98-99 (percentile). If someone slipped to a 95, the class went "ooooooooh".

What a ripoff.

And yet the conservatives actively pursue delusion and avoid knowledge. Witness religion and denial of science. That is certainly worse than merely insufficient education.

Those were not the Libtard "everybody is special, everyone is a winner, nobody is a loser, everybody gets a trophy" days.

We will give you a 50 instead of a zero on your trolling.

So in your world stating the truth is trolling. OK.
