I read this and laughed I'm in my school's SciOly team too, and that's basically how we roll

As much as I dislike standardized testing, honestly, what can you do? You really do need some way to measure stuff... And really, I don't believe in grades (you know, those letters and numbers that get on your transcript).. at least in my school they feel so meaningless since the teachers end up flooding everything with filler busy work so that everyone (it seems) can get A's.
