|Criticism|

Today for physics practical we were doing an experiment to find out the acceleration of a particle at any given time down a ramp. We did this by rolling a marble down a ramp and recording the time taken. Husnain dropped his marble and said "Great. Now I can say- I lost my marble- as a source of error." I said "Yeah, I'm great you have came to realize that you have lost your marbles but I don't think that would earn you any pity marks."

On Friday Jolene, Jeannette, Ibrahim, me and some others were studying physics outside the library. We were talking and Jolene said- "Feathers of the same flock together." I was like- "What crap is that, its: Birds of a feather flock together." Then Ibrahim&Jolene both go- "Of a feather? What crap is that? That's worse. Its birds of the same kind flock together." I was thinking My class is full of jokers.


What happened in today's GP class really angered me. Ming Sheng thought that there was 5 continents thus our GP teacher corrected him. Then she went on to ask us what the five Oceans were. We managed to give the names of four of the Oceans (Pacific, Indian, Artic, Atlantic) but we couldn't remember the name of the fifth ocean. Neither could our GP teacher thus she asked us to go back and find out. However, later on during the lesson I remembered the name of the fifth ocean and told our teacher that it was the Southern Ocean. She dismissed it and said the 5th Ocean is the Antarctic Ocean. I then said "Maybe Antarctic Ocean was just another name for the Southern Ocean, but I am sure its called the Southern Ocean." She then just laughed at my answer: "Then there is a Northern, Western and Eastern Ocean as well I suppose." That got me upset, cause aren't teachers suppose to be encouraging and not criticize student's answers if they are wrong, much less if they are right?

Well after doing a bit of research (just a search on Google), turns out that I was right after all.


I can't imagine a world without Google.
