I was in NHS in my last two or three semesters of high school. It wasn't much in the long run, gave me something to letter in, but you had to do other stuff like community events (like a cancer survivors run)

Yeah, NHS is more than just academics, but it's academic requirements are also pretty strict. You not only have to be making top marks but you also have to be making top marks in top classes. A student who coasts along with a four point GPA by taking easy classes won't get in. It's probably been able to maintain its integrity because it's independent of the school system. Parents who whine about its requirements being too difficult and unfair to their special snowflake get told to fuck off.

I suppose this is still possible, just that he won't be the one wearing the white labcoat....


All that in three years from graduating high school, Chris?

It's kind of sad how much this resume deviates from what actually happened. Not that he needed to be earning a PhD or anything, but that he became an Internet hobby based on how much he hilariously fucked up his life.

A couple of points I noticed.
He apparently racked up BS's, MS's, and PhD's in science AND math in a four-year period. Impressive!

Hey, at least he didn't put that he obtained a medical license. Worst doctor in the world. He would probably diagnose every patient he saw with "low-functioning autism," then following that, he would go around whatever medical complex he works in and break Doctor-Patient Confidentiality by letting everyone know that every patient of his is now just like he is....

So I'm thinking less chemistry (because really it's hard to picture Chris taking chem without burning the school down in some lab experiment gone wrong) and more coping skills class that went in one ear and out the other.

I can just picture it now. Chris sets himself ablaze due to not listening to his teacher when he informed the class not to mix two chemicals/elements together. What would have been funny is if Chris pulled a Peggy Hill and told the class to combine Bleach and Ammonia together, get real close to it, and to take a straw and blow bubbles into the solution to make crystals (please don't try mixing those two household chemicals, it creates mustard gas, and i guarantee you, you will have a bad time, and absolutely no crystals to show from it).

School should be about learning. This is one of the many reasons I absolutely detest public school systems.

And one of the many reasons why Borb attempted to sue the elementary school OPL attended in Greene County.

Chris likes all the elements. Personally, I prefer carbon, silver and copper myself...

I prefer Mercury. Ah, Mercury. Sweetest of the transition metals.

Borb didn't have enough cash to bribe any teachers

Wait you can letter as part of NHS? Like the letter you get by playing high school sports?

Nerds everywhere I swear. I had to earn my letter the right way by being the best bench-warmer my high school basketball team has ever seen.

Can you earn a letter for being a waterboy? I guess Chris didn't or he'd still be wearing an MHS letterjacket
 
How did I miss this earlier?

Wouldn't it be more accurate to detest standardized testing then? Teachers hate it for specifically that reason.

Teachers also hate standardized testing because the standardized tests are usually written by political appointee bureaucrat morons in the capital with little to no fucking clue about the material or how to teach it.

Seriously. I've seen grade school standardized math tests where students were asked to measure a line segment in "fingers". Do the stupid fucks who wrote that ever even look at childrens' hands? They aren't all the same size. And do they mean finger length or finger width? It wasn't specified. But somehow the "correct" answer was '7'.

And don't get me started on the fucking standardized textbook selection process…

Well, I guess my problem with honor roll is that it doesn't distinguish what classes you took to get it. At my high school, you had tons of leeway in what classes you took. I really enjoyed myself in high school (and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to do so), by taking lots of really easy classes where I just futzed around all day on the internet with my immature friends. (It seems not much has changed...)

I didn't get honor roll (I don't think so, anyway), but if I really cared to, I could've gotten it easily. In my school, honor roll was a B average. That's 80%+, on average. Which is trivial to get when you're taking programming classes and typing. Oh, and I took german, which was just hanging out with the intersection of my goth friends and my gamer friends.

So, my thing with honor roll is that there would be people like me, standing next to the people who got honor roll by getting good grades in stuff like English 3.

At my high school, AP classes automatically gave you a boost if you were getting a C or better in them. In regular classes, a B is a 3.0 and an A is a 4.0, but in AP classes, B = 4.0 and A = 5.0. That helped.

When my senior year rolled around, the school took even more steps to counteract grade inflation. "Fake" classes such as being a teacher's aide, media aide, or (unfortunately for some) independent study no longer counted for or against you in class ranking. An A in one of these couldn't help you. And for honors at graduation, the formula now was a combination of GPA and standardized test scores.

Of course, not as many high school administrators had caught onto how to game the system in Chris' day.

Actually, NHS requirements vary by chapter. At my school, NHS was one of the least "honorable" honors. It was difficult to get in, but once you were in, all you had to do was keep a certain GPA (according to the national website, chapters can set this requirement as low as 3.0) and make a token effort at volunteering. I knew people who blew off the volunteering and received endless warnings but were never kicked out. And, since new members were inducted in April, I also knew folks who purposely joined in April of their senior year, so they did absolutely nothing since applying but graduated with NHS honors.

Yeah, but it's still independent of the school administration, which was my point. If a school board tells a NHS chapter they have to let in special snowflakes "because self esteem", the chapter can tell the school board to pound sand.

Also all chapters have to meet certain national standards in their admission requirements.
 
That magic potion video always baffled me. Just....why would the other fellow participate? Is this part of his prison release autistic assistance program? A D.U.I.?

Aaaanyway, I'm going to go on a limb here and suggest educational standards are still slipping.

Like severe underfunding that can only worsen with the more corporatist states diverting that to charter schools or private operations that can pick and choose who they get in order to cook the books.

I don't envy public school teachers because they have to make sure every lazy prick (Chris) gets to graduate or the school won't receive funding. There are some students who want to learn and are very pleasant to have in class, but a good few don't care about school. Teachers also have to deal with the Barbs of the world threatening to SUE DA SCHOOL because their "brilliant" son got AN 'F' IN ENGLISH CLASS. *sigh*

I think it was Bob who was in charge of guarding Chris'tard from the hommasettsual school conspiracy. Barb's domain seems to have been shrieking at business owners after they finally gety fed up and banhammer her precious tardling.

My SIL works as a teacher for a certain set of special needs students. She complained to me about how much standardized testing goes on, and how much work it creates for students AND teachers. She has to work one on one with some of her students, and this includes helping them understand the questions for the tests... which is a utter waste of time for everyone since the students (special needs or not) could be spending the time learning actual things instead of filling in dots on a piece of paper, especially because, get this... the standardized testing is done three times per year. I wish I was kidding.
