#1 in the world in Math and Science, that's how you get results.

The US could be number 1, but we don't feel like it.

I hide my spare credit card in the cookie jar so kids won't find it.

Really? What if your kid is stupid (like me) and eats it on accident?

I'm glad the worst tests I needed to sit through were the WKCE's and the ACT, which were both complete jokes. I don't know how people can do so bad in these. I would hate the more eastern way of education where its big ridiculous tests that you spend years getting ready for, then when you get to the next level it's the same thing over again.

Hey man, I have the SAT and ACT comin up next year, and you can't fall asleep during them. If you do, that pretty much means you get to go to a pretty crappy college.

There will be at least 30 months of premium given away in my 200th tourney--join if you want a chance

In round one--I will give 3 months to the player who joins my first game--if they beat me

Well I agree with the eastern exams suck thing. The basis has shifted from education to doing well in these. Your whole life is decided in a 1 month period by 3 numbers. It's pointless. No one CARES a shit about whether you learn anything, only if you do well. Composition? It's about creativity right? Well I dunno about the States but here in Singapore only lower end students use "creativity". The only hope of you doing well is that you have to memorise whole paragraphs from different places then put them together.
