    I don't know what suck ass school you go to, but I went to "The worst high school in Oregon" and it still had teachers that did not hate their jobs and did not love to fail people. In my 14-going on 15 years of school, I have never had a teacher like that. Maybe I am just insanely lucky or something.

    But I think that since teachers are not paid well at all, quite a few are doing it because they really care.

    Our Cry is not my website though. It's just a random thought.

    Apologies to the others, there's probably many who misspell things occasionally as well in school.

    You're fucking stupid.

    I dropped out, and I regret it. In fact, I'm going back to school.

    And you list people that dropped out? Whoop-de-shit. For every successful person that dropped out, I can show you thousands who didn't.

    Don't spread your fucking filth here. In fact, I hope you get banned.

    I thought this place had 400+ free speech forums.
    How does free speech get someone banned?

    John Taylor Gatto:

    "He climaxed his teaching career as New York State Teacher of the Year after being named New York City Teacher of the Year on three occasions. He quit teaching on the OP ED page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991 while still New York State Teacher of the Year, claiming that he was no longer willing to hurt children. Later that year he was the subject of a show at Carnegie Hall called "An Evening With John Taylor Gatto," which launched a career of public speaking in the area of school reform, which has taken Gatto over a million and a half miles in all fifty states and seven foreign countries. In 1992, he was named Secretary of Education in the Libertarian Party Shadow Cabinet, and he has been included in Who's Who in America from 1996 on. In 1997, he was given the Alexis de Tocqueville Award for his contributions to the cause of liberty, and was named to the Board of Advisors of the National TV-Turnoff Week."

    TenCentArcade is right. For everyone you show that's anti-scholl or drops out there are thousands more that finished school on to college in many cases and went on to great success. I see your theories on this as greatly flawed.

    I think most all of us see it as greatly flawed. Or at least I certainly hope that most of us do.

    actually, the highest score possible now is 2400. they added a writing section to it. and twice the maximum score of the old one would be 3200....


    now all of you can get back to your petty fighting...
