Education systems..

IP: C4E4 7A46

Just venting.. Eat my shit if you don't like it..

Anyways.. I always wondered if you're supposed to know what you wanna do when you're in high school.. Then why do subjects that have nothing whatsoever to do with your chosen profession.. have a bearing on your scores to get into such universities? It's like saying..

"You need to know advanced calculus to understand the constitutional law."
Or
"You need to know hidden themes in Shakespeare in order to be a good sound technician."

Kinda stupid. Sure some subjects are linked.. Such as English/Law.. But still.. Gotdamn! I'm just pissed at the fact that my advanced math which I'm doing horrible in.. Will drag down my final score.. Therefore not letting me do Arts Law at my chosen university. However I do happen to be the top Legal Studies student? But I guess that shit has nothing to do with it?

I don't like the education system. (In Australia.. Which is currently where I be chillin' yo! )

When we get to year 9 (9th grade...i think) we get to choose which subjects we wanna do dependin on our future plans...

Then like me you leave, go to college and pick more subjects.

^^Thats the UK anyway

in Germany u have to decide in the 6th grade what you want to do then u go to a totally different school depending on your test scores, one for doctors and lawyers and what not, the other for trade school people, and the middle school for people in between. They have the best doctors in the world but also have the highest ratio of school kids killing themself.

I'll take the education side of the matter, even though I don't agree with everything.

I suppose they have to give you all these different courses so you know different things when you get out of High School. In case you'll ever need it later on in life. That's what High School does, prepairs you for the rest of your life. You may need to know this different stuff, so they teach you it.

thats how it was when i was still in school. they put me in mythology classes and stupid shit i didnt sign up for or i didnt need. and if i tried to change classes the teachers would accept me into their classes.

but my school was only worried with controling the way we acted. giving us a education wasnt improtant to them.

when i got kicked out, my mom went to a meeting with the princapals and the teachers, and she ate them alive. they admited to my mom that they were only worried about my behavier and not my education. she went off on them, it was dope.

Thats how most schools in the states are, military overseas schools are less worried about the way you act because the police are so in tune with the student's behavior and if u act up they'll just kick yo ass out and if you get kicked out you have to leave the base and go stay with somebody else because your parents have to stay. So the emphasis is placed more on education then everything, except of course for sports

you are taught a variety of materials for 2 reasons:

1) to give you an idea of what each subject matter contains and the kind of work you will be doing in the future. If you like math, then u'll prolly want to go into Engineering or Science. If you like writing and arts, then you'll want to go into Sociology, Philosophy, Phycology etc. If you're in between n just want to make money, you'll want to into business.

2) To learn how to learn. Every year the amount of material you have to study increases and you're able to handle the increase because not only is your brain is maturing but you have developed skills on how to memorize and organize the information more efficiently.

Most of schooling is about number 2 because until you get to graduate decrees like MBA's or PHD's most of the material you learn you will not actually have to use on the job. Most jobs teach you everything you need to know in order to perform the job when your hired. However, by completing schooloing you will be able to learn what they want you to do quicker and you will perform more efficiently on the job.

Obviously this^^^is not the case with every succesful person in the world. But it accounts for the majority.
