It actually says he could draw, in fact.

It said you could draw the pictures. He didn't fuck up by drawing, he fucked up by not cutting them out and gluing them on separate pieces of paper. And by failing to include the sentences with the pictures..

I didn't even realize that until just now because I was too busy sperging over him not using a ruler. If I was the teacher, I'd have given him a C for not using a ruler and for not following some of the directions.

Is it any wonder that Chris thinks he doesn't have to follow rules today? (i.e. vandalizing a Walmart display and using his autistic frustration as an excuse) He got fucking A's for ignoring the goddamn rules.
 
Well, like several people have said, the drawing is only incidental to the assignment. The real goal is making sure the student gets a handle on how to use the language to write sentences, in this case describing professions and nationalities. Chris shouldn't get points taken off for crappy drawings; hell, I'm sure plenty of other people in that class did equally crappy drawings. Okay, maybe not, but still. The bigger thing is that, as MysticMisty pointed out, Chris appears to have spent more time on drawing Lego figures than doing the actual homework part...

Ha. I know violence gives Chris "prickly wicklies," but just imagine how much cooler it would have been had he gotten into Indiana Jones. We'd probably have some sort of Pitfall/Tomb Raider/Uncharted knock off comic about a cartoon character wading through quicksand and fighting Nazis to find lost artefacts, and maybe if we got really lucky OPL would even wear a fedora and carry a whip! How hilarious would it be to see him get expelled from PVCC or the mall for pulling out a whip? LOL
 
Looks like I didn't follow the directions, lol

One thing that bothers me is he didn't include any women in his assignment. I get that he could use whatever professions and nationalities he wanted, but he didn't include any women. I'd at least make the assignment say you have to have three men and three women in occupations because gender is important in Spanish.

Sounds fair, but then you might have to face Borb for making Chris feel prickly wicklies.

I had a college professor say a student had their parents harass him for flunking the student on an assignment because he didn't follow the directions on the assignment. LOL, I wonder if Borb ever did that.

I did wonder this because like I said in another thread I imagine that a few teachers tried to do their job freshman year of high school, had to deal with Borb, and the stories spread so Chris was allowed to skate through sophomore, junior, and senior year. Still, I would try to stick to my guns because the grading here would have been objective - 'your son did not follow this and that directions, which was printed clearly on the assignment list'.

I notice the teacher praised his drawings. That in itself was appropriate, given Chris' limited abilities, and I would have made a point of saying 'you did a good job on the drawing, but you still failed to follow the directions'

The more of these assignments that Skyraider is sharing with us, the more and more we see how the educational system (hijacked by Borb, so not 100 percent the school's fault) failed Chris.

If Chris got 30/32 for this, what the fuck did the teacher give the other students? Of even better, imagine the shitstorm Chris would stir up if he didn't get full marks for the art component of the assignment.

It's really disappointing. Not only does it belittle the efforts of the other students, but it also means that Chris was getting full validation for his "art" and none of his teachers were actually helping him to address his problems.

I know it's a long shot, but maybe things could have been different if his teachers didn't just turn the other cheek at his academic bullshit. :(
 
From what I understand a lot of schools are afraid to give students grades lower than a C because they'll face harassment from students or parents if they do. Grade inflation is a real thing, and students that are barely passing get an average grade and students who are average get B's and A's.

(also in his assignment he said the mechanic was a Spaniard, so either he doesn't know the Spanish for 'Mexican' or he can't recognize a Mexican flag half of the time, take your pick.)

Thank you, I was checking if anybody had pointed this out. As a member of the Latin American community (not Mexican but it doesn't matter), I find it funny/sad/"wow, this would be insulting if it wasn't Ritardo we're talking about here" that he'd call the Mexican mechanic a "Spaniard".

I can't give any grief to this assignment. I can still remember all the half-assed crap in my high school Spanish class turned in. And yes, we actually did a few assignments similar to this one. The pictures helped reinforce ideas/vocabulary, but knowing Chris :stupid:

Yeah, I got similar assignments in my Spanish class too. (And I remember my teacher taking points off for not being creative enough, because at the time I was one of the "art kids" and held to a higher standard of creativity. It was total bullshit.)

But here's the thing: that assignment was in my total beginner's level Spanish class in 10th grade (couldn't take a language in 9th due to bullshit). But this assignment is from when Chris was a high school junior. Exactly how many years of Spanish did he complete in high school??

Pretty sure violence doesn't bother Chris THAT much....

Well like I said above, I think its interesting that he used the feminine form for worker, but put a male worker. I speculated it might be because of his "old fashioned" sexism, and that certainly may be the case. He believes women belong in the home or kitchen, whereas men go out and earn the money. Ironic considering his aversion for anything that would cause him to use his hands or break a sweat, but then Chris is nothing if not a hypocrite.

Perhaps equally interesting, we also know that his interest in women and the subsequent "Love Quest" fiasco didn't develop until after high school, no? It could be that Chris literally wasn't even thinking about women at this point in his life. Lego, Pokemon, Sonic and the like were far more important to him. Then again, this is kind of contradicted by his "gal pals" and interest in girls' toys like MPL so yeah... I don't even know...

Personally, I'd love to see his stereotypes about Colombia, if he's even aware of its existence as a separate country, since his world map seems to cut off everything south of Chiapas. Then again, he'd probably disappoint me an spit out the (unfortunately) typically American stereotypes of cocaine and then mispronounce Cartagena (Seriously folks, there's no 'ñ' in Cartagena! Not every foreign word needs an accent!). I doubt he'd know Gabriel García Márquez (even though he's frequently assigned as high school reading) or Cumbia music, but maybe he'd remember that Shakira's Colombian, since she's a hot pop singer (and well known in the US, unlike say Verónica Orozco or Andrea Echeverri).

With the executions being made years later, it's interesting to see Chris's descent into madness.
In the comics made pre-discovery, he was genuinely about avoiding graphic violence. For example, the reason Merried Seinor Comic was given robotic limbs was to make the scene ripped off from Monty Python and the Holy Grail less morbid.

As for the construction worker: I'll say in good faith it's because the stock construction worker minifig of the time was the mustachioed male. You could of course customize minifigs (my sister would swap heads of police officers and firefighters for female ones all the time), but that's beyond Chris. Fun fact, the first official female construction worker minifig appeared just this year (Gail from The Lego Movie).

They probably tried. But since college isn't required like secondary education is, the school doesn't have to give a shit if you don't like their rulings.

In Arizona only two years of a foreign language are required to qualify for in-state university and don't count towards graduation, maybe Virginia has something similar? Because a lot of students were advised to take French or Spanish their junior and senior years if they weren't planning on taking the courses for three or four years.
