School system is pretty fucked up. Though the real problem isn't the actual system but that it actually works in our society. So society is fucked up.
I won't even begin detailing all of the things wrong with how schools are run: Grading ect. I could write several page long articles on the matter. The only thing schools are good for right now are: Getting you into college and being social centers. They fail at everything else.
The community service is a fucking joke, and it's 40 hours up here :|
Or 150 for us IB people...though it's in categories, so only about 50 is actual service, the rest is jusy bullshitting about how doing daily activities is creative or active.Quote:

All I know so far is that in FL I need about 10-20 hours of community service and at least B's to qualify for scholarships.Quote:

Community service is nothing, quit complaining. I need 75-100 I think and I accomplished that the first two years of high school.
ughh, school.... well here we go.
I really just don't like doing extra bullshit work that I don't need to do. Like tweek said, I've always just been really well... smart. I get most things right away, and the homework/busywork is just a pain in the ass. I dont need to do fucking 40 pages of bookwork to understand something. I usually get by doing barey any homework but I ace nearly ever test. I've scored in the top 10% in our state standard test, the FCAT, nearly every year for the past 5 or 6 years.
I dont like taking bullshit classes where they teach me stuff I either already know, or dont care to (even though I know it'll help me in the long run, I still have a right to bitch and moan.) An example is a course I'm taking now called CCC(computing for college & careers, or something) in which we literally type shit from these 25 year old books all class. I usually finish all the typing assigned in 1 class, then have 2 more in which i have nothing to do. Just seems like a waste of my time. I know how to typw and use a computer but I have to take it as a pre-requisite for another course. My favorite classes have always been social studies, since I find it to be very interesting and easy.
Shit, didnt realize I wrote so much.
Those typing classes payed off then. AHLULQuote:
