but, i guess it turned out fine for you so nbd.
papers sucked and my family didn't have much money at times so I had some parts of HS where I didn't have reliable access to internet or computer access at home. I tried to avoid papers like the plague so that I didn't have to use the library to write them or ask friends to come to their houses because I was really embarrassed of my situation (and now feel terrible about this because I know my mom saw that I was embarrassed and worked multiple jobs doing what she could). For me, the test thing was just seeing how far we could push teachers before they wouldn't give any more. some people wouldn't have been ready had they been tested and a lot of those people were my friends so I was willing to do my part in protesting the tests to keep them from having to do work.
its still tbd if it turned out ok, but I dont think the teachers at my school were good enough to offer me much beyond what the textbooks could so ****ing around in class and building friendships (even if the basis for them stemmed from immature bonds established as 15 year olds) isn't something I regret.
