yeah, everyone has to do the same thing, but what happens when one group is deciding on what everyone has to learn... "white man lies, str8 bull shit"... decent opinion, just tellin ya to pay attention to what dudes be makin u learn. cuz if u dont have an opinion in whats taught and dont know if its true or not... u could be gettin fucked and not know... thats how all racism is still around today, some lil kid aint ganna question authority so if that authority is tellin u some shit only they want u to know, u could be gettin fucked

Jack is right......If you just go to school,pay attention,do your homework,finish tests,study, you'll pass.......and if you go on about all this "ITS A WHITE MANS SYSTEM" then id really laugh at you....seriously..its not a "white mans system" its a "DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND GET A GOOD GPA SYSTEM" ANd if any of you are being robbed of this lemme ask you this

1.Do you pay attention in class?
2.Do you do all your homework and turn it in?
3.Do you study for tests and pass them?
4.DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
5.DO YOU MOUTH off or get into trouble?

think about that to yourselfs......

I beleive both of the Dead Prez members went to school and GRADUATED because they stayed out of trouble,and all that jazz......seriously its bull crap....im really fed up with this........If I last recall Oprah went to the inner city and she asked what they all wanted and they said "ipods"

YOU HAVE TO WANT IT........like M-1 Said "I was in the front seat in history class"

^ Jack and PT, you gotta look at where shit starts though... if you're told you're dumb and given all the shitty books and payed no attention by the "good" teachers at the school, who should be the ones helping the kids who need it the most, a 5-year-old mind isn't going to be able to consider all the things you're considering.

Also, as far as the Dead Prez song goes... to me its not as much about justifying kids not doing well, but pointing out the wrongs in the system, and the prejudices as far as what is taught and how it is taught.

I used to say school was useful..

But in Florida we have the FCAT. Teachers are basically teaching around that one test, even though most of them want to go to other topics. They have no choice cause they gotta teach for that one test.
They are telling us what we can or cant learn. Theres also some serious idiots in the school system.. Talking about "lets get rid of honor roll, cause some kids feel bad they dont get it." Whos fault is that? I heard in Flint or Detroit somewhere outt here, they wanted to close schools down because enrollment and funds were low. Fix the fuckin problem, dont just get rid of the schools. So if we have idiots like that running the schools, I mean seriously.. The systems fucked up.

Im not saying I dont plan on graduating, im just saying its stupid. Why cant we learn about religion? But we have to be told the "theories" that all have flaws in them about how the world came to be? In some schools there trying to teach kids its ok to be gay if they are. Basically.. Pushing people into trying it out.

How does that make it any harder? If you're poor you can't do homework? I know a lot of poor people who had people depending on them and they still graduated... I'm pretty well off and I was kicked out of regular school, then kicked out of a special school filled with druggies, skanks, poor people, mildly mentally challenged people, and there were minorities there as well, and everyone there was being taught right and most were passing. See personally I don't agree with how schools are run, and then my logic goes even deeper. I don't agree with schools period. I don't even agree with how the world operates. That's why I never did good in school, how am I supposed to focus when my mind state is telling me I shouldn't have to do this it's not important. This is how it is, I highly doubt it will change and if it does there's still always gonna be problems, nothing is perfect, oh well, get over it, this is how shit happened, either deal with it or stop complaining. You can do your work, pass the tests, go to college, do the same, get a job... Or you can drop out and not give a shit... I don't see how you can complain...
