Yeahhh sorry, I haven't been on the computer much as my parents don't like it. They're the sort that think you can use pen and paper and be done with it. Ah well.
Hows things for you? :) Hows the one-shot going? xx
Besides, red drives bulls crazy. *nods*
The B in the staff? Because that one's really hard. It, along with C in the staff, is really hard to master. Once you get past learning to play them, you still have to learn to control them. They're really loud because they're transitioners or something.
But even if it was B below the staff, he shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it. I mean, it's just starting you into the lower ranges of clarinet.
I will go check it out.
The American educational system is a joke. You have no idea how much I hate it. I mean, I love America and everything, but we have really shoddy standards and some really stupid people.
The smart people are really held back because of the slower people. They don't want too big a bridge between our cirriculum, you see. They want us all to be equal. Which is idiotic in itself. I mean, I get how we're all equal in the sense that we're all human and breathing. (Even if we aren't equal in life, we are in death because everyone dies.) But we can't be equal in every little thing. And that's what America was supposedly founded on. The go-getters get and the ones left behind don't.
*sigh* As you can tell, I got pretty wound up about that.
But honestly, it's true. I did the math one day. Picture this:
There are 3 billion-ish Chinese people (we're not even looking at the Indians). There are 300 million-ish Americans. There are more Chinese [i]honors[/i] students than there are [i]regular[/i] American students. Their honor students are being challenged. Ours are not...so they become lazy. They settle for less just because it's easier.
I really went into numbers and everything, but I don't have them with me and I really don't want to figure them all up again. Anyway, I came to the solution that for America to stay ahead, I would have to find a decently smart man and have seventeen children. (I base this on intelligence being hereditary.) And all of these children would have to be as smart or smarter than me AND would have to actually do something with their smarts.
Of course, I had another thought that was dissettling. The idiots are mulitplying at a younger age and for longer periods of time. So my seventeen won't really be doing anything other than keeping the numbers the same.
*another sigh*
I could always just move to another country.
(Besides, I really don't want that many children.)
