Why...

Is it that, everytime we try to learn something in biology, somebody either always asks a stupid question, does something stupid, or any other phrase with "stupid" in it? We never learn anything. There are people in my class who are always trying to get attention, or they just don't know what an atom is and needs to get out of the class.

For example, we "learned" what water is today (can you believe that?), and we were talking about water being the universal solvent. So, when the teacher asks the question at the end of her lecture, "What is the universal solvent?", the first answer I hear is "Sugar!" Then, later during the quiz, that same person asks, "What is a blossom?" If you don't know what a blossom is and you think sugar is a solvent after thoroughly discussing it five minutes before you should not be in a Pre-AP Biology Class! All you have to do is listen!!

Then there are the people who just crave attention and they do stupid things like loudly bang their heads on their desks when they're bored. Get real people! It doesn't matter if you're bored! Suck it up and you might just learn something new or remember something you forgot!

I'm not saying that you should not be in the class if you don't know what the universal solvent is (most of us didn't), but after learning it last year and the year before and then GOING OVER FIVE MINUTES BEFORE you think you would remember it! I just wish those people would listen or stop trying to get everybody to look at them! Please, all you have to do is pay attention and let other people pay attention, and you'll be fine. If you can't pay attention for five minutes or even take notes that you can use for tests, then I don't think you should be in that class because you will be left behind and forgotten and I don't think that's right.
