Core and Flex

      Hum hum hum...  Well right now I'm at my school in core and flex time. What is that hullabaloo you may ask?   It means that if your passing all your classes with a C- or better then your in flex time.  Which then means, that you being the smart person you are get 20 or so minutes all to yourself between 2nd and 3rd hour... Which sucks, because if you have all your homework done then you just get to laze around talking to people you normally wouldn't converse with.  Except in my situation where most of my friends are in flex so that's pretty cool.
      Core means that you sir (or madam) have a D+ or lower in any of your classes.  The class you have the bad grade in, is where you report to for the 20 some minutes working to improve your grade.  So some, if not all of you, could be thinking at this precise moment in time, "what is the downside to this?"  Well think of it this way...
       On the day they run grade checks, you didn't turn in an assignment so your grade is now an F.  The next day you turn it in, and it miraculously gets bumped up to an A-.  Even though you are now passing the class, you still have to remain in that core class for the duration of 3 weeks!  That isn't even close to being fair in my book. But of course my book also says that if Life gives you lemons you blow up Life's house and demand that they take the lemons back. (that was a Cave Johnson quote for any of you who didn't know that.)
       There is also another bad effect to this Core/Flex as well...  Let's say your "posse" so to say, has 9 people in it.  The best case scenerio is that  6 out of the 9 will be in flex time, where as the other 3 will be in some sort of core class.  Worst case scenerio, your one of the unlucky kids who have a D or F. You're then put in prison, all by you lonesome just left with your thoughts for 20 minutes.  Unless you get lucky and some other people you hang out with are in the class too. 
       Sure math logic will tell you other statistics, but highschool doesn't apply to math logic! In case your wondering, I was in core for 3 weeks because of my grade in math. :-)
