Today, I finally decided to do regular biology rather than honors biology, thinking honors would be too hard. My first day in regular biology, my lab partner asked me whether a rock was alive or not. FML

K, so this is Shelby, the person who wrote the FML. To whoever it may concern: When this guy asked me whether the rock was alive, I thought he was being sarcastic so I replied, "YES!! Haha." Then he wrote something down in his notebook and I asked if he was kidding. He looked up and said, "Just tell me the answer, I wanna finish my homework." Then he asked me if pasta was alive.

That's what I hate about being an advanced student. Sometimes the classes can be hard, but when you take the regular version, it seems the people there can be dumb as rocks. And God forbid the teacher curves grades. You'll get knocked the **** out.

Oh, I can attest to that. When I moved country, I essentially got put into a new high-school at the tail-end of the school year, so when I did badly in the exams (Due to missing much of the material), they put me in all the idiot classes for the next year. I felt like an astronaut who had landed on a planet of cavemen. the maths class: they had to use calculators to work out "what does 6x + 4x equal when x=4?". They couldn't even spell algebra, let alone do it. the science class: they spent most of their time trying to melt their pens with the Bunsen burners. One girl asked me if "Fire" was an element. the English class: they couldn't tell the difference between a noun and a verb. One kid had to ask if "Shakespeare was, like, from the 50's?" (Direct quote) Even the teachers acknowledged these kids as being a lost cause. They pretty much picked the one or two students who were smart, and had just had a bad year the previous year, and taught them. (While I believe it is wrong for teachers to only teach to a couple of people in the class, there are some cases when trying to teach everyone is a waste of time)

Yup exactly!!! In my Honors math class my teacher is such a rude bastard but in my AP chemistry class my teacher is a sweet heart

Ok, well there are going to be those dumb kids in just about every class... He could be the kid that is going to get D's. So don't assume that it's going to be easy -,-.

Actually, that's not necessarily true. 7 things are necessary to be alive: Homeostasis (keeping internal state, such as electrolyte concentration or temperature, constant), Organization (being made of cells), Metabolism (ability to convert some form of energy and chemicals into biological energy and organic components necessary for the other 7 requirements), Growth (pretty obvious), Adaptation (both across a lifetime and across generations), Response (ability to change in some way in order to react to external stimuli), and Reproduction. As one example of non-living cell-based...things, consider biological 3D printers. They can print cells now, but they can't make any living organisms yet, either single- or multi-celled.

I haven't laughed in a while until now.

It's a valid question! If you readsome books on astrobiology, you learn that a considerable proportion of the world's biomass resides in rocks, reproducing as slowly as once every 500 years.
