Adverbs of degree

I don't like guts or gore, which has made me very opposed to dissecting animals, specifically in science class.

Adverbs of manner

At a junior high school science class where we just had to learn science stuff, which is generally how junior high school science classes go, one of these classes, we had to dissect a frog and learn what's inside.

So everybody was getting ready to do frog science, lots of groups, lots of dead frogs and me, who really did not want to cut open a frog, let alone any animal, and because I didn't really want to cut anything open, when I was going to join my group, I was doing it very slowly and lazily.

I did some stretches to buy me a bunch of time before the inevitable of frog gutting.

But then my teacher looks over at me and notices me standing like this.

Andy, you don't have to dissect a frog today.

She thinks I'm feeling sick and that I'm prepping myself physically to go open a frog and cut its flesh.

I just need to breathe a little, I think.

I'm not going to force you to dissect a frog if you're going to be sick.

My group was a little salty that they had to do all the work and I got to skip out, but I didn't care because I didn't have to cut open a frog.

So I was thinking about that story lately and I realized something.

I am no different as a person because I didn't cut open a frog.

I don't need to cut open a frog to know what's inside.

Education is very important, but does anybody else feel like the pursuit of good letter sometimes misses the point of going to school?

Like looking back at school, I think there's a ton of things that could be changed.

We have so much technology now that could help the teaching process.

And with the saved time, we could just chill, let the information digest a little, you know, and like just get rid of the frog dissecting stuff and like some other things, except for that one time where my science teacher came in with a bunch of potassium and put it inside a bucket of water and didn't tell us what was about to happen.

But the other classes like the frog dissecting, I don't want that.

This is biased, but I think that recess would be a better option where we could do, I don't know, something fun.

There's also this money class in junior high school where we had to start a business.

But I must ask first, do you know how to protect yourself from this?

I had a class once where the class was split into three separate groups and tasked with making something to sell.

Another group decided on making special pens with a bunch of frillies on it.

They're really old now but this is what they look like.

We were tasked with calculating costs and we had to aim to make a profit on our product.

We made somewhere north of like a hundred dollars.

But for some reason there was a teacher from a different shop class that thought she could just take our money.

You guys used school equipment for making this product.

Because we invested in the magnet paper, the printing, and everything.

Except for using a slice cutter machine in school.

But she ended up taking like 50 of our dollars.

If we were told we needed to pay fees before the class started, that would have been like whatever.

But she made up that rule out of thin air.

I don't think she even took money from anybody else either.

I'm pretty sure we got robbed by a teacher.

Either way, other than that part, it was a super fun class that had real world application.

Most of the class was figure it out yourself kind of style.

So I think it could be a little bit better.

But at the end of the day, still thumbs up class.

And I think that should be, we should look into doing that more for other people.

What is one thing that we deal with daily but are not educated about in the slightest?

One time I was watching a video about a story.

This guy was talking about a lady that was fighting at the store.

She was in line to get some groceries, just a normal thing.
