lol @ u callin me a kid earlier...

tell me what job ur gonna get with a high school degree thats gonna make u more money in the long run than one with a college degree... none, when you look at the difference in the money ur gonna be making with a high school degree and a college degree, student loans are so tiny and irrelevant...

lol @ me calling everyone kid and you getting offended.

calm your titties, ho ass nigga

um...Construction..

So after you learned how to count and read you knew what kind of career you wanted to pursue? Good for you, though it's bullshit.

That's why careers in human interaction will be huge soon. So your writing and my psychology will be some of the only jobs left while other people get pushed aside for robots and computers and machines who do the work in a PERCENT of the time. :cool:

It's true to an extent, you need to have some basic subjects IMO. But things like geography or religion class....I haven't learn jack there.So the best thing to do I think is to keep certain subjects and work with electives for the other part. But I thought this was already the case in quite a few American schools?

How many subjects are there usually? We have like 14 subjects...(only one is elective, a 2-hour course)

lol your minds skipping.

i said most.

Yep...let's sit around and complain about the situation.

YE YE

since when am i gonna use ENGLISH...

-_-

yea almost the same thing pac was speakin bout in that one interview he did when he was 17, school just teaches ya the same shit over and over again but just make it harder

on top of the fact that schools completely useless after u learn what u need ta know...i wasnt supposed ta fail anymore classes cuz i only passed 1 class in 9th grade...and well i got expelled from school like some of u might know
and my science teacher let me do my homework cuz i was suspended for a lil bit untill i was officially expelled...she said if i did the homework she'll pass me
so i did all the fuckin big ass projects and sheets she gave me ta do
spent HOURS on it and she still failed me and i have science and math as a combination so it the same class but 2 diffrent grades so since i failed science i failed math...on top of that my gym teacher failed me cuaz i wasnt there ta get dressed and do whatever they had ta do...not my fuckin fault the school didnt let me back on their grounds...so yea ima probably end up either staying another year or dropping out cuz my teachers are fuckin fagz :cussing:

It's mainly because kids are idiots. They have got NO idea what they want to do until they get to about 18 (probaly even older for some, maybe younger for some). They are completely blind and deluded, and what would happen is they would go "Yeah, I wanna be an astronaut" or "Yeah, I like music" and then realize years later that they are over that and want to do something new. Instead they take a general approach, and let you choose a few things you want to do, as well as have compulsory crap.

The problem with the current education system is that it doesnt accommodate for students that are not fit for normal work and normal jobs, that are creative, intelligent and articulate... Just like what Nos said. Often kids like this get depressed at school. They're the ones you see that look like dumbasses and never try or do any work, but ace the tests without studying.

That's how my school is made...

HS is basically get the requirements out of the way, then you choose your future.

Well it does kind of help you like decide what you wanna do with your life...See different aspects of certain subjects...You shouldn't be forced to do that, but yea, it's not completely useless unless you completely know what you wanna do with your life.

people are "confused" with what they want to do in life because they take in input from what other people say they should be doing, instead of listening to what's right for them.

and OMB, I know exactly what you mean man, I was one of those kids, and that miscommunication got me into a hell of a lot of trouble in HS.

Actually, that's not true. In 7th grade I wanted to be a sports physician to meet famous sports stars, but I changed my mind because that was whack and pathetic. Then I wanted to be an engineer because I was good at math and it paid well, then I realized that pay isn't everything. Then I wanted to work as a recording engineer but realized that is doesn't help what I really want to do in life: help people. So now I want to be a psychologist. That wasn't input from a bunch of different people. =/ I understand that some people may be confused for that reason, but that's not true for everyone.
