Attitude towards school
 
OK.

these days it seems cool to be "bad".
when i say bad I mean...fuck the teachers...never listen..smoke at school....allways crete caos in class..that sorta shit.

I was just wondering...(4 those still @ school) do you actually make an honest attempt or do you think its "un-cool" to want to walk into clas sit there and be taught.

Knowledge is 360 degrees,its forever you can never learn enough.

seriously. why think like this? do you actually want to be doing labour or leaving school and having and endliss hussle?

your privlidged enough to go to school,why waste it? why have a laid back attitude to something that could set your whoel life up,unless of course you are born into a well-off/wealthy family...then school isnt too important cause you have the money allready.

but those who dont have that privalidge...why not make the most out of school and education....
were im originally from the education is a joke...there sint really safe school's.
the rich family's do home schooling while the rest learn from the streets...I was lucky enough to get away from that...but seeing other education systems..then seeing kids clown and fool around really..honestly...truthly amaze's me.

why clown on somthing that is very important to your future?

Kirk 04-01-05 09:12 PM

you won't come up with a decent punchline if you don't know what anything means

Kirk 04-01-05 09:16 PM

i mean if you just want a shitty vocabulary thats your choice... im sure only rappin in what these emcees teach you will help you out alot...

Compose 04-01-05 09:20 PM

^(to durban) rap is my future...school doesnt deserve my presense...school is hyped up and everyone says youll become this rich doctor,lawyer,etc. if you stay in school

how many people do you know have that life?...exactly...probably 90% of the people who waste their time with school end up with a 9-5 job living a medium life, dont even front like thats not true...people have to learn to do what THEY want to do and stop being told what to do like your doing with your education speech...if people wanna rap let them...if people wanna be a doctor let them...but dont go around saying education is the most important thing

creativity>education and thats werd

one step beyond...my school doesnt teach vocabulary

now what, stop frontin...school does not in any shape or form help with my rapping capabilities...every single ounce of skill i have is due to my favorite list of emcees that i listen to and nobody else

you have some good points! Also I am glad you know exactly what you want to do in life...not everyone figures that out so quickly.

but.......

schooling/education/knowledge is and addition to what you learn in life.

you can never compare schooling to lesson's you have learnt,but why not learn lifes lesson's aswell as learn education's lesson's? Schooling isnt 100% ideal. Not all education systems are on point and teach everything to perfection.
but
any education is good education if you have the right mind to interpritate it in a positive way......
its all about your mindstate....when i was at school(left 3 days ago) mine wasnt right at all,i was there to rap,socialize and didnt even take it as a good contribution to my life....a contribution to my lifes lesson's. So as I sit here know and reflect on my actions @ school Im thinking "fuck..i should of handled it in a diffrent way"

School is a privlidge..not everyone in the world has an education system!!

Sean Gunner 04-01-05 11:49 PM

Highschool is something I do to kill time before I go to college.

High-Dro 04-01-05 11:52 PM

babies are something i eat before the main course

Durban 04-01-05 11:54 PM

college?? damn... america's schooling is confusing..
ovber here its...
primary from 6yrs to 12yrs old.Junior 1 thru to form 2
then ............
high school from 13yrs to 17yrs old form 3 thru to from 7

then decide if you want to further your study or just go work...but most dont make it thru high school.

how does america's schooling work?

MadProphet 04-02-05 12:08 AM

you can always tell the people who are just trying to be a class clown and looking for the attention....its fucking rediculously gay....just be yourself

like me for example....i have two classes...my first class i hate the teacher and she hates me so m percieved as a bad kid in that class cuz i always argue with her and generally dont listen to or care what she thinks.....but in my second class i like the teacher and hes cool so im looked at as a good kid cuz i never argue with him and i follow all his rules.

Sean Gunner 04-02-05 12:09 AM

Elementary School- Kindegarten (start when you are 4,5, or 6)- 4th grade
Middle School- 5th-8th grade
High School- 9th- 12 grade

College years depend on your profession. If you fail a grade you repeat it.

MadProphet 04-02-05 12:11 AM

america schooling =

elementary school from ages 5 - 11 (12)
middle school adges 12-13 (14)
high school 14 - 17 (or 18 depending on when your b-day is)

then after high school college and majors have varying school amounts

Kirk 04-02-05 12:12 AM

oh yeh..seem's the same just diffrent names for each grade.

strobe 04-02-05 08:18 AM

I hated school and couldn't wait till I graduated. I think if I dropped out of college in 1999/2000, I would probably be further along doing what I'm doing now. In fact, back in 1999, the internet was still pretty new and making money online isn't as hard as today. But to tell the truth, getting a degree is still worth the time, effort, and lack of sleep.. and freshmen year at college kicks ass! Once you are out there working 9-5, going back to school is a lot harder. You end up finding a girl, then getting married, buying a house, having a kid... so you no longer have the time or money between work, buying diapers, and the mortgage to afford going back and getting a degree.

If you go to the census website, on average a worker with a bachelor's degree earns $51,206 a year compared to $27,915 of someone with a high school diploma. That is almost 2x more money. Your degree might be totally unrelated to what you end up doing in life, but it opens more doors. If you plan to work for a company/someone else, stay in school. It'll pay off in the long run. The 4 extra years in college is nothing compared to the 40 years of your life you'll spend working assuming you retire at 63.

Compose 04-02-05 08:53 AM

^strobe shed his knowledge again lol

durban over here in new york the schools go like

elementary=kindergarten (4 or 5 years old) - 5th grade
junior high=6th-8th grade
high school=9th-12th grade, and you could pick a lot of your classes so it gets you ready for the feel of college
then you do college like a year later depending on your profession and you pick your classes shit like that

peace

L. Veracity 04-02-05 11:43 AM

some places it's different, like here in Houston in the different schools even in the same district it's the way others in here said it, but in some districts it...

Kindergarten - 4th grade *elementary*
5th grade + 6th grade *intermediate*
7th + 8th grade *middle school*
9th grade center *when the school is too big they seperate*
10th grade - 12th grade *high school* (if seperated, "main campus")

but yeah, sometimes I find that high school was a waste of my time because I really didn't learn much that I didn't know already...high school should prepare you for life but down here in TeXaS all they're worried about teaching you is what's on the "standardiZed test" you gotta take to graduate high school...down here, you can pass all your classes in high school but if you fail that test, you wil NOT get your diploma, and that's madd gay to me...

but at the same time, I should've taken school more seriously and got a scholarship for some shit so I could be somewhere else besides still here in Houston just starting off in college in January...if I had the right attitude toward school while I was in it, I'd be way better off now and be probably done with all the college I'd wanted to do and just expanding to different fields that I wanna dable in and already have a major that I wanted to focus on career-wise, but I'm only starting now...I wasted like 2 years after high school that I could've spent doing something that'd help my future...

life experience is great, that's fine, but knowing about life isn't gonna keep food on your table...a good steady job is...

Mix & Match 04-02-05 12:05 PM

I like school, I don't try at all, but I'm going to start next year when grade eleven starts.
