The Friday Awards

Welcome to your weekly dose of happiness, Sparklers!

Let's kick off this award session with a vote: Which do you prefer, Friampion or Frampion?

In the comments section of this post, Sparkler sciencenerdess94 came up with the term "Friampion" to describe Friday Award-getters. (Friday + Champion = Friampion.) But others (myself included, whoops) have been calling them "Frampions." "Frampions" seems to roll off the tongue better, but "Friampion" is the original spelling. Which do you like better? Vote in the comments to determine the official unofficial SparkLife spelling!

Now, the awards!

I don't consider myself a suckup, but everybody else seems to think I am. Who knows. There's this girl in my class who tells one of my teachers every single day that she just loves his tie. He wears the ugliest ties I have ever seen. Luckily for her, Mr. H. is incredibly old and has very low self esteem (he told us he was afraid of teenagers...) so *somebody* gets 100s on everything because "she already knew that answer, she just wrote it wrong." Sure, Mr. H., sure.

Sucking up is hard work if you want to do it effectively, and without your teacher realizing what you're doing. I prefer to just get on their good side. Sometimes there's nothing you can do to get a teacher to like you, though. Like senior year, when my American Government AP teacher discovered that his ex-wife and I looked a lot a like (when she was younger, of course), and shared a first name. Of course, it was my English teacher (who loved me, yay!) who told me about Mr. AmGovAP's revelation. But still. Not fair.

Last year my econ teacher admitted that she has no clue why she's certified to teach the class. We would spend the class period watching CNN and listening to her confuse herself. *sigh* One word...Tenure.

...to EmClosk for her comment on this post...

Revieved my worst grade ever today. I'm one of the kids who freaks if I get in the eighties...Today I got a 64%. WOOOHOOOO! Good timing, SparkNotes. Don't tell my mom..

...to she_who_squeaks for her comment on the same post...

My school doesn't even give "F"s. Something about our self esteem. Whatever.

...to jessssscalee for a comment on the post about C students...

I can't get c's. Our school is hooked up to a system where parents can check the grades online.. ANYTIME. So I'm at school, mind you I am at school, NOT my mother, and I receive a text from her asking why I have an 89% in my AP English Lit class.

MAYBE BECAUSE YOUR TEXTING ME DURING SCHOOL MOM!

...and to attatae for...

steven spielberg had c's and got rejected from usc due to shoddy grades. certain people are too cool for school.

You Can Only Have This Friday Award if You Promise to Put it on Your College App Award goes to coolWasabi

Discussion-Booster Awards go to...

zoidel for her response to this post...

I think banning gender-bending dress is wrong when it comes down to someone expressing themselves and what gender they identify with. However, as a future educator, I know that some douchebag kid that comes to school wearing a skirt for a laugh does not deserve the same rights because he is purposely trying to be a distraction. So where do you draw the line?

...to VivalaTara for her comment on this post...

As an editor for my school newspaper, this irks me quite a bit. Fact-checking IS a necessary aspect of publications, but why couldn't they just have read the quotes back to the justice and make sure he knew they would be published? The person being interviewed shouldn't wield such a great influence over the story, even if he is a Supreme Court justice.
