    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.

    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.

    We have to do 30 hours of volunteering/work and 80 hours of physical activity, along with a resume and cover letter. I've got the volunteering covered with 150 something hours right now, half of the activity, and an outdated resume :\

    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.

    I got out of my community service by talking my way out of it. As I did with most issues at school, fucked around a lot...

    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.
