In middle school biology, we did an experiment. We were given yams, which we would sprout in cups of water. We then had to make hypotheses about how the yams would grow, based on descriptions of yam plants in our books, and make notes of our observations as they grew.

Here’s what was supposed to happen: we were supposed to see that the actual growth of the plant did not resemble our hypotheses. We were then supposed to figure out that these were, in fact, sweet potatoes.

What actually happened was that every single student in every single class lied in their notes so that their observations perfectly matched their hypotheses. See, everyone assumed the mismatch meant they had done something wrong in the process of growing the plant or that they had misunderstood the dichotomous key or the plant identification terminology. And, thanks to the wonders of a public school education, everyone assumed the wrong results would get us a failing grade. We were trying to pass. We didn’t want to get bitched out by the teacher. Curiosity, learning, science - that had nothing to do with why we were sitting in that classroom. So we all lied.

The teacher was furious. She tried to fail every student, but the administration stepped in and told her she wasn’t allowed to because a 100% fail rate is recognized as a failure of the teacher, not the class. It wasn’t even her fault, really, though her being a notorious hard-ass didn’t help. It was a failure of the entire educational system.

Even here at the desk you can see stacks of books and papers and a soda can, clear evidence of life:

Contrast this with scream 4 (2011), you get absolutely none of the same sense of home and daily life. Every room is styled like architectural digest is due to stop by any moment. The teenagers' bedrooms are carefully placed, with no individuality, and their cars look freshly washed in every scene. Even as syd fights for her life, her surroundings are spotless:

In fact, directly contrasted to the original scream, every kitchen in scream 4 (and there are many) is spotless, with nothing out of place, so much so that jill has to purposefully wreck a lot of kirby's house just to convince people there was a fight there (even though...there was).

This is the kitchen from scream:

And yeah, a lot of that can be blamed on the party, but there's stuff on the counters, and dishes in the sink, like you would find in any normal kitchen on any average day of the week.

Now look at this kitchen in scream 4, supposedly also a normal kitchen, also on an average day of the week:

I love them i miss them

*chaos*

I’m sorry, I know you’re trying to be mean, but this is just objectively hilarious.
