...sigh....no delay or nuthin today... crying
...stupid snow...all it did was make everything cold again...bleh...i'm sick of the cold....>.<

My classes were really boring, but not history!
OMG it was insane!
...so much....drama.....kind of.....
But it was actually probably the most interesting history class I've had all year....or ever in my life actually....

We went to the classroom, and everyone was all bunched up at the door, and our teacher was handing out stickers that everyone had to wear...

He was really really pissed off..and it was...weird.....

There were 3 types of stickers u could get...the 1st one(and best one) was a black dot, the next was a brown dot, and the last was blue...except they just had a big "F" on them....

The day before we took a test, so
-black meant u got an A, and u could just pick any seat u wanted, and talk quietly...
-brown meant u got a B or C, so u could pick ur seat too, but u had to write about a page on this question he put on the board...
-and blue meant u got a D or F, and u had to sit in the front row and write a five paragraph essay...>.<

(I got a brown...most of the people did...but one of my friends got blue crying )

Later he started explaining that we were not doing well enough...in school, i guess...so the IB program might be stopped....(that's the program we're in, where u take higher level classes...)

So he said things had to change, and that they were going 2 get rid of the people who weren't doing well enough...

He gave us 3 rules for the class
1. Work
2. Improve
3. Do not help people who have a D or F

And everyone was like "What?!" eek ....except we really didn't say that cause he was in a really bad mood...and he would have just yelled at us....
....and we were also still trying to figure out if he was really serious about this, or not....

But he was really really really angry!
and he looked at the essays the 'blue' people were writing, and he grabbed them, and threw them in the trash! o.o....
Then he gave them all big pieces of paper and told them to draw quarter-sized dots on them....that was really weird...

He said we could move up or down in class rank...and for a bunch of the 'brown' people, he looked at their work, and said they could move up to the 'black' group

((earlier he told us the black group gets no homework, the brown group gets homework twice a week, and the blue group gets homework everyday))

If we agreed to follow the 3 rules, then we could move up, but if we didn't, we could just move down to the blue group....

Everyone except for on boy agreed to move up....when the teacher came to talk to me, i argued with him, and i said i didn't agree w/ the last rule(about not helping the people w/ D's and F's)
he asked me why, and i said cause it was stupid...lolz xp i can't believe i actually told him that...
but i was really pissed off by this time.... scream
....maybe my emotions were just extra weird anyway....cause I'm on my dot.....

Then he told me 2 think about it, and just he walked away...

after a while i told him i'd agree w/ the rules....>.<
cause if this really was real, then i didn't want 2 move down & have homework everyday, and have 2 write essays all the time....i'd rather have no homework, of course! ....but i felt kind of bad....

Later he told us that this was the same way Nazi Germany worked....during World War II....which was our next unit... sweatdrop

So then he told us it was all fake, and we were all actually doing fine.....>.<
He actually hadn't really graded the tests yet, so he didn't kno wat grades we got....

We all laughed when he told us..... rofl

i guess cause we all suspected it was fake....but I still got all pissed off anyway....even though it seemed unrealistic......>.<

I felt sooo stupid!! ....and really bad/guilty about not sticking up for my friends!....>.<!

But i have to admit...that was a really good way of teaching us what it was like in Nazi Germany during that time....

The 'black' groups represented the Nazis...lolz....the 'brown people' represented the people that were in the middle...who had to join to Nazis or be punished, just like the 'blue' group...
And the blue peoples represented the Jews....

But afterwards I still felt really really.....shaken up...and kind of...tense.....like how u feel when ur nervous.....

I still feel kind of stupid....>.<
I didn't know he was such a good actor.......

....i guess it was a pretty dramatic class...........
