teachers teach to the test, they should teach to the student, i like my project oriented and science classes the best. in my project lead the way principle of engineering class were making balsita devices, mine is suppose to launch a ping-pong 15 feet everone has a different design, its exploration and discovery, not zoning out at a boring lecture or geting frustrated at rules that get in the way. my memory isn't the best, but i don't want to just memorize, i want to create. some of my classes seem to just be memorization and studying, bla, we all forget it in a month after the test if the next section doesn't build off of it.
