Polls: Education & Career

I already had a bad grade before the exam, but since I failed it, I'm close to failing the course. There are still a few assignments that haven't been graded because the professor was lazy or whatever. My current average is 50% after the final exam but before it was 54% with the assignments marked as 0 as filler. Once she marks the assignments, then my grade will change but I ain't getting my hopes up. I think I may have to either appeal my final grade or retake it next semester.

The final exam was worth 30%, my midterm I got around 76% but that was only worth 20%, and for the 10 labs they're worth 30% combined. My overall "average" for the labs is probably 66% due to how inconsistent my lab marks were. There's 4 assignments which total to weighing 20% of the final grade; only 1 got marked but I was given a 0 for plagiarizing off of Chegg. Not really my fault cause I tried to get help and she just told me to follow assignment instructions.

Now for the assignments themselves, their rubrics are divided into 5 categories: execution, output, resource handling, effort/creativity, and whatever main concept is needed. Most of my assignments do not output nor execute so I'm already losing 40% of the grade, and I handed in 2 assignments late, in which the late penalty is 10%. Realistically, the best I can get for the assignments is 60% and the worst would probably be 30%.

I listened to a story told by a Columbus police officer about a call he got about a kid who was aggravated but wouldn't tell his mom why.

He realized that the kid was autistic and he managed to get the kid to say why he was mad. He told the officer it was because he missed the bus to school. He asked the kid if he wanted a ride, to which he said yes and he drove the kid to school.

He got out and ran inside, very happy as the officer pulled up to the front of the school and opened the door. The part of the story that stood out to me is the idea of a kid wanting to go to school, which is so foreign to me.

I went to school in Connecticut, where I lived until the age of 18 before relocating to Texas. Throughout most of my childhood and teens, I struggled with ADHD and finding the proper medication was a needle in a haystack.

This led to me struggling to put puzzle pieces together and breaking things down logically. I would eventually do great through high school and very well in college in both my in person college in Connecticut and online college courses in Texas but I still didn't like school.

Throughout school, I absolutely hated it. It was endless torture and I never enjoyed one minute of it. I went on as many field trips as I could, not even wanting to know where the field trip would take me because to me, literally anywhere was better than staying in school.

Although since getting medicated properly when relocating to Texas where medication options are more plentiful and affordable, I don't mind writing essays and get them done quickly.

It got so bad that in middle school Through high school, I tallied each day to keep track of when school would be out.

Do you like school?

The money will go to public education where students will have access to better nutrition, better teachers, better infrastructure and etc. The schools will be well funded and the money goes 100% to them to improve the education system. Everything will be improved drastically. The kids will have chefs cooking great nutritious food.

This tax is similar to how registering your car every year. It isn’t based on a percentage. Everyone pays the same amount.

The ceo of Theranos just got ten years in prison. Something she would do is deepen her voice to sound like a man.

Realistically? If so how?

Like earning 500k or being worth 10mill+ in todays money.

Among the options that I liked are these.

Could you get the necessary degrees, training, and be able to maintain the job until you turn 40 if it’s the only job you could get, (and be acquitted until then)
