I can still feel the smoke rising from the top of my head like I was in a cartoon and someone did something to really piss me off. Half of it is true, I'm not a cartoon but I am pissed off. I recieved my participation mark in my business class today and according to the high and mighty lecturer my participation is sub-average. Which it wasn't because I actually said things in class while others said not a single word and recieved the same mark.



I am over it now (at least i am pretending i am) but it made me think of the how the reward system works for participation. It's rather stupid because they would rather you said something stupid than nothing at all, and then further reward people who prat on about things they know nothing about and penalize those who make a concise remark but it's too short for them to acknowledge.



This is the reason some smart people don't do well in school settings but kick some major ass in the work force because they know what they are doing while the little brown nosers fumble around in the mail room and bitch to each other about how well they did in school.
