Having flunked Geometry in high school, that destroyed my dream of being a mathematician.....Fortunately, my love of beer led me to become a bartender.

I am blaming the vaxxxxxx, students getting multiple vaxxxes, Boosters, messing up their brains

This problem is much more than two years old, so your theory fails to explain observed facts.

Yes, perseverance is also important; those who give up too quickly will fail. OTOH, Those who (metaphorically) ride a burning airplane all the way to the ground will also fail. Some times, you have to punch out before it’s too late and either try again or re-consider your life choices.

I didn’t care much for chemistry either....
I think I forgot most of it within minutes of taking the finals...

What a pathetic state we are in. It won’t be long before doctors routinely kill patients, bridges collapse, planes fall from the sky, power plants explode, and trains run off the rails. Clearly the only answer to this is MORE wokeism.


I know you are being satirical, but that is what is happening in reality. In the face of failure, the Woke double down. The problem must be Whiteness or the Patriarchy, or Racism or something. It can’t possibly be them. And, yes, things will break and people will suffer & die as a result

This is why our tech companies request the lifting of immigration quotas...so they can fill slots that require competency in certain fields.

Organic Chemistry is,bydefition, difficult. I asked a pre-med student how to get through it. He said:”Memorize te book “

He was right. Our tests were starting with coal, limestone and air,work through 26 steps to get to final answer, which was given. Miss one step and you failed.

“We are very concerned about our scores, and find that they are not an accurate reflection of the time and effort put into this class,”

I have often explained to my employees that if you contract to dig a ditch 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and 1 foot deep, north to south start at the stake but instead you dig a ditch 10 long, 1 foot wide, 4 feet deep going east to west then you have failed to fill the contract nor did not product useful work.

So I can’t wait until these alleged students contact for a new house and the finished product is a complete disaster. The builder ask for payment which the former students refuses due to lack of building a safe, as designed house. So all the builder needs to retort is “well the bill reflections the time and effort I put into Project”! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You should write a book about a future America.
You can call it “Atlas Shrugged”.

Wait...wut?

The problems are being layed on smartphones. Youngsters using them too much and destroying the ability to read organic chemistry books......

BUT the vaxxxxxxx accelerated this trend. You are mistaken if you don’t think the vaxxxes are screwing with peoples brains. Not everyone of course!

This happens! These are called vaxxidents. Vaxxxx induced loss of control of your automobile.

Nonsense, this has been an issue for years. The vaxx protocols just exposed what has been going on for years.

I have a adopted child with a 130+ IQ who will bag hamburgers and be swing manager of bagging burgers for the rest of her life, she cannot persevere in any one course of study .

I have another adopted child who is at best average, walking towards his first million, because of his ability to persevere in his chosen field.

The west can be so proud of the smut and ignorance we are now foisting on the world . Bullying, lies, perversion, self destruction are things to really stand up for and this wonderful agenda needs to be taken around the world in the name of “democracy”. That’s it “democracy”. It happens when everyone shuts up and takes it up the wazoo from their satanic betters.

“This story is horrible. Clearly the course is passable. Some students passed with good grades”

This line you said is the whole point. Shows who should actually be there and those that should not.
