school is a place you serve, not a place that serves you. it should be set up like...you learn the basics, like the ability to count and math you know..reading, the obvious stuff you'll need to be useful to your self, then let you choose what YOU want to learn ,like if you have an interest in say...art, you should immediately be able to learn the ins and outs of graphics arts structured in a basic-middle-advanced-AP format like everything else and you learn what you're good at and become a better you. same for if you have an interest in music, you learn how to play it? that's cool and all, but...would you rather learn how to make a productive career out of it instead? why shouldn't you?

instead, they force you into their format and you work for your school. your school doesn't work for you. learning all sorts micrometer for the rotund diamater of useless jack shit. that shit don't help you in the real world, and even if you have an interest in that, you could learn the science of what interests you the most!

i dunno, maybe i see shit fucked up.

I agree with you...i mean i can see the point in learning History and MAYBE Algebra...

but i mean other things aren't really that useful....that would be pretty cool to do something like you said...being able to choose what you want if you know and learning the in's and outs of said thing..that would be crazy lol..

Ok, I agree, to an extent.

But the real problem with schools these days is that we live in rich countries where the education system is out to produce people to work in business related careers to help generate a greater econemy because we all know our governments are funded by corperations these days.

Its just them looking out for their own interests. To governments, people are just statistics. So you know schools are never going to go out of their way to inspire kids to be artistic.

Which is why most good artists these days all come from poor areas with very few work opportunitys. We spend more time learning life and teach it to the more mundane members of planet earth that are more focussed on living life superficially through the system that supports their lifestyle........

wouldn't be like that if what I discussed had happened. impossible today of course, not really saying anything new other than the obvious.

but my mind thinks beyond 'today'. beyond the surface. it's like x-ray vision, i see how things work before I see what they are.



what? you're a chick? yeah right.

..my bad yall if I dont' stay on topic, this isn't like a 'new thought' to me, this is something i realized in highschool and it's just...still in my memory.

thats some truth.com right there.. on some real shit though, you know why i think school sucks? most of the teachers these days, dont even wanna be there. they don't fucking care if you learn shit or not, cuz the fact of the matter is on the first and 15th these niggas are still gettin' their paper.. so for real, like if i had a teacher that was passionate about his or her job and actually cared about their students, i probably wouldn't mind being there as much as i do now.

and i actually brought this same topic up in class

the teacher said "yeah they could practice there intrests but at the end of school what if they didn't like that topic anymore???? then without all the stuff they had too learn they'd suck"

ok, and what if you stick to their 12-step program and go straight into college, and get your self in student load debt spending $30,000+ learning how to work for somebody else and turns out you're doing something you hate, and you suck at it.

hehh... I'd rather cut my losses in highschool for free. learn to make smarter decisions younger. once again, win win.
