Well.. My freshman year, I found out I was moving to Arizona sometime during the second semester. Well I gave up on school and got all F's like two that was in some tech classes that were kinda fun.. So last year when I got here I didn't have to take any of those classes over again. Well towards the end of the last year when we signed up for this years classes the guy said he signed me up for those classes that I failed freshman year and the classes I was failing and failed my sophomore year. I just got my schedule today. I have all Junior classes. XD
It made me laugh so damn hard.
-
I laugh at people that don't try in school and have to retake classes and have a shitty GPA. you're school isn't stupid, you are.

Lol. Yes. Because school is life. No. School is pointless. The only thing school teaches you is how to fucking make friends and have a social life. The classes they offer and give you mean shit. You learn what the teacher knows. The teacher doesn't know much or sucks at teaching means you learn shit and all that time spent in class was pointless. So no sir, you are stupid. Just because you get a few good grades doesn't mean shit.

It means that I can get into a good college and not have to pay for a lot of it. I love your badass attitude though. School isn't hard, it's a stupid decision to not try to get at least decent grades.

School taught me how much I dislike the way it's run.
-
You only learn what you want to learn. If you are an idiot like cotton you wont learn much. You only get out of school what you put into it.

lol. Schools are terribly run. I hate my school, the stupidest people run it.
For example, our school is on a low budget, it was to the point where they couldn't supply the teachers with basic things like paper. So what does our school decide to do? Buy new Mac computers! And then a few weeks later they bought a brand new electronic sign to put out in front of the school. All this while cutting 1/4 of the teachers. Their priorities are fucked up.
-
Same story here. But I'm not in high school and so I don't care much about it. I didn't really care about anything at all actually even when I was in high school.
I think everyone needs to go to school so they learn how much they don't like it. If you don't go to school you probably won't think right away to hate it.
-
Well this is my last year and I will be glad to get out.

School's school isn't to teach you to be social (except for the rare teamwork and buddy bullshit), it's purpose (and partially college's purpose) is to give you general knowledge about several things to see what you might be interested in. It shows you the world because you can't look at a 5 year old kid and say what he's going to be when he grows up. It's good to pay attention to expand your knowledge and broaden yourself. Knowledge is great if done right but a lot of schools and colleges fail at it. High School education is good as long as you pay attention, if you do, you don't need college IMO. In fields that change a lot (take Information Technology or computers for example) how can college teach you stuff about the next generation of technology? There's a lot of subjects where it doesn't matter if you've been to college, there's 3rd party credentials that employers often look for.
Simply:
Everything up to High School = general knowledge.
College = pointless.
-
college may be pointless learning wise, but most decent paying jobs require a college degree of some sort. So it technically isn't pointless.

4 years and that much money just to get a job that has requirements that won't bend. In a lot of situations, willingness to work and knowledge above what they're asking can trump "requirements".
-
Maybe when the economy wasn't tanking. As of now most companies throw away most applications that do not have a college degree.
-
I <3 knowledge.

Well as you all know I generally have to say something funny in every thread or something mean. So here it is:

Lol. Spanky I didn't mean the classes themselves teach you how to have a social life. I meant more of the fact that being around everyone and stuff. School is pointless.. The shit the teachers in our school try and teach us they don't even know and the shit that they do know they say themselves is pointless and you will never need to know it.

You truly are an idiot. The only reason you say you don't learn anything of value is because you never payed attention enough to learn it. Something you learn is going to be pointless based on what you want to do. Algebra may be pointless to some but for kids who want to be an engineer or in any field that needs math, it is a great skill to have. The reason they teach you a bit of everything is because the average teenager does not know what they want to be when they grow up.
-
Lol. No, you are the idiot.. You don't know me... You don't know my habits in school. Just because I don't get good grades doesn't mean shit.
The reason why I get bad grades is because I don't do my homework bitch. So fuck off. Look at my test grades. Almost all As. So don't talk to me like you know me cause you obviously don't. Holy fuck kid, you really piss me off sometimes.

They don't group kids in huge numbers to be social they do it to save money and it fails. I've nothing more to say in this thread as I usually avoid people with cotton's attitude.

I learned that Physics and Maths is really awesome. Hey guys let's make a bioelectromagnetic field modifier and reduce heisenberg's uncertainty principle to zero.
After that we can create gravitons at a fixed point to infinity to shrink the universe and study the effects it has on planetary motion.

Lol. I was fine, still am. Just little fuckers like killaman gotta come along and fuckin troll like a mother fucker. It pisses me off.
And no.. I'm still not agreeing with you Spanky. High school is not only to "teach" you things for later on in life (like a job) it's more to teach you how to have a social life. But I guess you wouldn't understand what a social life is.. Sorry, I guess I brought this up on the wrong forum.

Rage much? I'm not trolling, I brought up valid points. I'm done with this thread. Good luck with the rest of your life though, you can't just sit on your lazy ass forever.

Haha. Once again.. There ya go killaman. I'm proud of you. You make me laugh.

Ouch. Wait, no, I remember going through High School. Yea, here's my diploma. Hmmm, I guess experience means nothing. I, too, am done with this thread. There's just some people you can't change or talk sense into.
It's really discussions like these that make me sit on Delta's side on the language chat.

You said that already. Way to fail.

It's kinda a pet peeve of mine when people mis-use the word "trolling". There has been no trolling in this thread... unless your mis-use of the word trolling was trolling me, in which case - although very unlikely - you have done well.

Cotton, what exactly is that you gain from all of this? Karma is not generally a quo-status to make justice. However, in your case, it does. -30 Karma points and you are still around, despite knowing you are not loved nor respected in this community (both consequences of your shifty and mundane act) ?

It is good to see you know what the world "fails" means, and how much of it relates to you.
And that you laught about it, just....just makes any clouded day a full-spray shiny one.
I am not entirely sure how the school system in America works, but despite the rumours on its quality, it surely has to have a point. Schools have a point, regardless of your ability to understand it/them. Schools are structure-builders, in the sense that, when you frequent school, you attend to certain human needs; you learn, you socialize, you become a dynamic form of life, you eat, you drink, you do exercise, you enrich your visual communication, you become reactive, you ---(at this point, I am being forced onto thinking the pronoun "you" might not be appropriate at all, as clearly, you are an exception to the above mentioned)--- learn to live. In other words, you estimulate your brain onto not being idle, even when there is nothing interesting to do.
You also learn the basics to thinking. To the relation between "considering possible" and "seeing possible"; a certain notion you wouldn't dare know a tenth about if it weren't for your said dumb teachers (any of them knows more about life that you ever will, at any rate). Your behaviour is not surprising. It makes all the sense in the world, to be perfectly honest. You can't learn well, so surely, the problem lies within the system.
School isn't heaven made real, but until you know more than all your teachers together and have the ability to pass any of that knowledge onto the little ones that most need it, schools will not be pointless. It might be bothersome, it might not. That depends on your approach to it.
Now, as part of my job as a Moderator, I would like to ask you to avoid your foul language and unnecessary (and more often than otherwise, excessive!) prick-alike behaviour. People already hate you enough for being who you are, don't make them fret over something that will have them bothering to ban you. It's not you I am worried about. It's you actually becoming enough of an annoyance, that you will actually affect their lifes.

BRB, gonna look for my sociology notebook. I'll edit in my sociological input, my teacher lectured on schools for about a week.
*EDIT*
I've found notebooks of physics, calculus, literature, and American history but no Sociology. From memory, school serves 7 or 8 purposes, the most important being baby-sitting (for lack of a better term) and tracking. Schools track students and, based on their grades, etc. they are forever set on a path set by the school. Someone who is tracked and advised to take sewing and "Relationships" classes... ugh can't believe my school offers that... will not be as successful as someone advised to take calculus and advanced physics.
I cannot state enough that there are endless exceptions to this, so don't try to yell at me for that.

Talk shit more, please. I like when you guys say shit! :)
And at least I have a social life. I'll take that over schooling anyday. Thanks and good day.

Why do you did you sit on Ak4 vent for 20 hours a day the past few months then?
-
The last few months? What you talkin bout Willis? I haven't even been on for a the last month.

What you talkin bout Willis?
Time + Tragedy = Comedy
Too soon Cotton, too soon.

Are you trying to imply that we do not have social lives? I go out with friends 2-3 times aweek and spend more time talking and playing games online with real friends when we aren't out at car shows or going to the movies. And Nate is running his own business (at 20) which is a full time job in its self. Don't try and put down people you know nothing about. Go cry to your friends (who probably aren't real friends at all) about how bad your school is. Stay off these forums unless you wish to grow up first.
-
Arguments are more fun when the person you're arguing about is over 20. Then at least you can say their parents failed them. Or they saw fail coming in the future and dumped the kid in a ditch :D
