The most epic blog post of this epic blog!

Interestingly, at CSL, there is the epic returning generation syndrome. Past students will return to school in the form of staff.

Despite all the bad things at CSL, they still want to come back. So, you wonder,

A) are the graduates retarded?

or

B) do they want their turn at being the slave masters?


Of course, as answer A will lead you to brand yourself as retarded, answer B must be the correct one.

Naturally, your teacher imparts knowledge to you. Unfortunately, sometimes, what is imparted isn't knowledge of the subject at hand. Sometimes, it's just their epic wackiness that ends up being Xeroxed into you. Which is epic nevertheless.

With the returning-generation-of-students-now-staff, you get epic teachers because now, you have the wackiness of a couple of the good teachers mixed into one biped who's making a fool of him-/herself in the classroom. It's epic.
It's almost like it's the old teachers' way of reproducing themselves so they'll stay around when they've gone. It sure beats hanging around as a ghost. Now, there's natural selection. If this keeps going on, the teachers are going to get better and better as only the good parts are getting xeroxed into new students. (Thankfully, because the building and equipment certainly ain't improving)

At this point, I think I should apologize for the misleading title. This article is far from epic, and probably one of the duller ones on this blog.

But back to the point, this returning-generation-of-students-now-staff, of course, they aren't exact copies of old teachers. They have also their own load of eccentricities. For example, the returning-generation-of-students-now-staff like to play video games. They like music more openly. They don't get totally stumped by computers. And 21st century humor. Basically, a lot closer to our generation. We get along a little better.

Going off in a tangent now, the issue now is the increasing instances of when staff use the word "epic".

Remember the first time we heard used by staff?
We were whispering and snickering and pointing: "hehe, he said epic."

Hearing it being used by staff is pretty epic already, but more so is when they say something like "one of my students was showing off his capability for staying balanced on two legs of a chair and took an EPIC fall. He flew back, fell and also managed to smash his nose up and start bleeding."

As with all things, it's cool until it's overused. Epic this, epic that. I mean, reread this article. Epic suddenly ain't so epic nomore.
Also, "mais mon Dieu, c'était vraiment épique comment cons ils étaient" coming from Mr. Fiorito's mouth is surprisingly shocking.

But all in all, it's quite epic to see something like :

On in the physics teacher's powerpoint.


You can be sure the next time you get a zero in this particular teacher's class, the upper right corner will be occupied by the words : "Epic Fail"
Honestly, come to think of it, fuck the reform eval system. This is good enough. Grades should go as so:

Epic Win/ Epic Success

Feeble Win/ Feeble Success

Lose/Fail

EPIC FAIL

Believe it or not, this might just really be better than what we currently have.
