They made a whole stack of posters...
That's... concerning? Do you know why they were taking pictures? I don't think you can get a legible picture of the test from the window...
I agree with this. That's really not ok. Also I'm not sure the time frame makes sense, and that someone else might have done this earlier.

Also, this really doesn't sound like Troy, wow.
Sounds like the non-honors kids. Remember that Troy is still a public school and first level language courses are not honors.

Kids can be mean before learning to grow up. Also, not everyone is part of the magnet program, and even intelligent, sometimes even hardworking students can lack empathy and good judgment. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement from what I'm used to.

Also remember that being talented, diligent, or both does not make someone mature or kind or self-disciplined.

Well, yeah, from what Umaroth has told me I was under the impression that type of stuff was a lot less common at Troy in general than other schools.

There was only a live slideshow, and once they advanced the slide, I couldn't return to look at previous events' results. The only way this was better than the actual livestream was that I got to see raw scores like 10 minutes before everybody else, since I guess raw scores are displayed by default on Avogadro.

We now have empirical evidence to not spend 99 cents on Avogadro.
rip im so sorry for making you waste your money :(
lol it's okay and I mean after all, I was pretty much just as curious as you were

the best part is that the dining hall closest to where I live on UNC's campus has now begun serving free guacamole sooooo I guess I'm saving sort of? It was only a dollar anyways lol

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to display this in the forums, but this is what I got to see 10 minutes before everybody else: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... verall.PNG

The Avogadro presentation was also ahead of the livestream, so it told me event results before the announcer even announced them. I wound up not watching the Avogadro presentation since it anticlimactically told me the results before it happened.

Lol, one of their friends was making up a test or something, and he wasn't part of the class, they were trying to get a pic of him, but they were making a huge racket so the teacher went outside and yelled at them
