Well, I can tell you I'm definitely more of a thinker than a repeater, and i argue ALL my points, and the teachers', and my classmates'... but I'm practically failing because I don't do my homework (shuddup, I don't need a lecture), and all the homework is is parrotting back the same things they said in class. The teachers are (i hope) fond of me because I actually, y'know, DO shit in class (you know the whole meek asian school mindset...), but I nearly fail cause I won't do the rote shit.
