The state testing mentality of schools is only existent in the schools with really good reputations. Most schools that house "bad kids" or that are looked down on by the town typically house the most caring teachers and staff. This exists in my area, at least.
As far as Best Buy goes, they are a pretty decent company, but those stores can be foreign countries from one to another, so get to know the staff a little before making a large purchase and see if they're trying to fuck you. They don't make commission on anything, though, ever.
The worst ripoffs in the store come from computer accessories (DYNEX brand, ROCKETFISH brand, etc.) from generic companies that they mark up a fuckton of money for. That guy talking about the USB cable is quite right, but in my area, the cable costs $33.99 and the employees can get it for less than $2.00. The worst section of the store is the Car Audio department. They sell 75 cent cables for $15-20.
