Need to start taking the critical thinking questions bit away from people who clearly did not have to answer critical thinking questions in high school
#obligatory mention that ap english langauge was fucking horseshit and i learned nothing all year (got a 5/5)#meanwhile everybody else in my class also learned nothing all year they just also failed the class#i mean to be honest i just think critical thinking is something that needs to be taught way before 11th grade#anyway the annoying with lang was the overly formulaic essay structure actively making me a worse writer#and that if you were familiar with the literature covered + capable of reading comprehension#the answers were often pretty arbitrary and subjective. As is most of literary interpretation!!#like it's way way more about what is the most /popular/ interpretation- for example is frankenstein scifi or horror (its both)#or what the test writers would want you to answer which is often the same thing#Sorry guys i had to read a lot of reagan speeches and some awful frankenstein commentary and i never really recovered#actually the speeches were really fun i loved the entire class coming together in our intense hatred of ole ronnie
