In the reading "I just want to be average" i found many things that drew my attention. First of all I was really interested to hear that the boy was put in wrong classes from a test. I really don't like the idea of everything being based off a test because you can either be lucky or not so lucky on a test and from that you can be in classes that put you in a higher level that are way to hard for you or the other way where the classes are to easy but either way that is what they say you are supposed to be in.
I really felt sympathetic for him cause he was in hard classes and got bad grades.I really disagree with all that because I fall in the other case where I am not very good at test taking but classes that I get in I would rather be in harder classes then have to average grades from having to take the lower then higher class.
I think i really felt upset and had a connection just because I took a Math 1010 in high school that is a college class i dropped out before the next semester 1050 when I tried to come down and register they said i could not even get into 1010 that made me frustrated cause there i was having already taken that class luckily i went and took the college test and litterally guessed on everyone for the heck of it and got into 1010. That is why you really can not base knowlege off of tests and i hate how even if you have taken the class they would make you take it again because another test score says you should be in a lower class.
