From the beginning, nfm tried to distract people by giving
the wrong dates of dropping. I am a new teacher, and will
NOT join CCEA, so I will not have the troubles remembering
when to drop as hacks like nfm try to make this confusing.

It's not confusing, by the way. Fools like nfm are only
fooling themselves with their very limited intelligence.
