Do you realize what we would have here in good ol' America if our educational system was not completely abysmal? If it was not utterly disgusting? If it was not an absolute disgrace? If it was not quite possibly the worst and most dishonest educational system in the history of the world? I'll tell you what we would have: Revolution. "Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts." -- Frank Zappa
Well, it's not MY crappy American education system... although I suppose I have paid money into it. Meh.
supposedly my school is "one of the top" or some wank....but thats just "exam results" the rules are bullshit but thats irrelevant the british school system is pretty good i guess....in comparison
yeah... i did forget about the senior prom and try to enlighten myself... thats why for most of high school ive either failed or made d's... i mean, dont read das kapital while youre supposed to be doin homework or readin silas marner or some other bullshit like that... my IQ is 153, but my GPA is a 2.6...
Yeah really, the school system here is just utter crap.. All it takes to do good and get a 4.0 gpa is obedience... Intelligence counts for nothing.
All very true, Patrick. All very true... GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It's a number that represents how high or low your grades are.
our education system primes all the children to be mindless drones, and it serves its purpose well. like someone said (i cant remember who) see, thats what is wrong with me... i forgot waht i was gonna write, maybe i shouldnt toke as much...
"school is like a 12 step brainwash camp that makes you think if you drop out you aint got a chance to advance in life" Nice post. and zappa quote.
"A child educated only at school is an uneducated child." -- George Santayana "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." -- Albert Einstein "True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country." -- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Heh, I love throwing quotes around like this.
Annnnnnnd that's why I'm homeschooled. Fuck you mr.corporate society. I don't care if you get the red ass.
thus why im planning on homeschooling my future children as well. they will learn how to socialize through other means.
i dont mind school here in Alberta [although it is going down the toilet, and has been ever since King Ralph took over] but i agree that for the most part, school sucks, thats why i plan on being a social studies [history/economics/poly-sci] teacher
Zappa!#%$!@#%!@!!!!23121!!! Vonnegut!!#!$#@$!@!$%!!!!1!!%111!!! Meh, I'm not gonna blame the school systems for that. It's our culture, our laziness, that makes kids think, "Oh, I didn't learn it in school, so it doesn't amount to a pile of shit." If you look at it on a grand scale in comparison to numerous other countries, we're pretty well off. Although, I'mma complain that here in Texas, property taxes are starting to run the schools, and in NC it's the tourist industry. It's starting to be centered all around money.
