    I mean, Calvin has a point. Even if the road was completely clear, you’d still have to stop at traffic lights and stop signs. 50 miles is quite a ways too. It’s not realistic to assume they’d be able to maintain that speed for the entire duration. That question is pretty bogus all around, haha!
















  • Grades aren’t supposed to be a way to encourage growth, it’s just a way to measure it. Whether it does a good job at that is another question, but I definitely agree that of schools focus on them too much.

    In an ideal world, grades would just be a way to show who needs some extra help with their learning. There are a lot of good teachers that do view them that way, but there are also those who view them as a form of punishment. Almost like a “you’re a BAD student so you got a BAD grade” kind of way. I feel like that’s more discouraging than anything.

    Probably a good move to avoid that altogether in the early grades. Who needs that kind of stress when you’re six years old?
