Seriously, its getting outta control, I'm tired of putting in 100% to only find out that some scrub got a better mark then i did. I usually don't mind as long as they're work is decent and somewhat close to mine, but in economics class, we had to pick an economy and examine it, so I grabbed the US's and made a slideshow for it, in addition to writing an essay we had to present it. So i finished presenting mine, and kids were all telling me how professional it looked and that it was pretty well done. Then this other girl goes, who also does a slideshow, her presentation honestly looked like it had been slapped together at the last minute, her title page was all white with a picture of the flag and china's economy underneath. Her slides were a mess with almost 20 points each over probably 6 slides, she consistently made grammar and spelling mistakes as well as pronunciation errors. I seriously think a 10 year old may have done a better job.
Anyway, today we get our marks back, and she gets a fucking 96 on the presentation. She always has her homework done, she always answers the teachers questions, and gets good marks, but she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I wouldn't normally give a damn, but it was a final project and when I'm trying to get into a good school its annoying as hell to see someone get a better mark than you because the teacher likes them.
I don't know, maybe you disagree but I'm tired of it. I'll show you a picture of my slideshow later just to give you an idea...
