AMEN! I myself quit school several years ago at the 6th grade, as I can't learn without a reason to learn, learning has to be fun to me. But hey, I didn't turn out so bad, did I? I bet my grammar is a lot better than a lot of high school graduates.Quote:

Thirdly, if a class isn't useful to everyone, then it shouldn't be required to everyone. Only those who are actually interested in more advanced fields beyond basic math and literacy should take those in college.Quote:

It all turned out to frustrate those who aren't gifted in a certain field, and waste their precious time. Eventually they get horny, and either try and get into the pants of some girl they think is hot because it's what Sex-ed says is totally ok, as long as you're "protected".
You may be protected from getting a child you can't even take care of because the school system is taking up your time which you could've already gotten a career started by now. But you aren't protected from the heartbreak, and jadedness as you keep going from partner to partner like it's the mating season for a herd of bison. And if you're rejected, then you resort to going on the net and surfing for porn, wanking away your loneliness, looking at stuff that the government says minors shouldn't look at, even though their school system is making it a plan B to "cope" with not having a healthy married relationship.
And that goes onto another point, because of your jadedness, you adopt a "hump 'em 'n dump 'em" mentality. Simply because of all your failed relationships in the past that you ruined by rushing into getting her panties off cause you just couldn't take it any longer. I strongly believe that the american school system is one of the reasons why our country's morals have gone down the toilet, why teen pregnancy is still an issue, as well as drug use, gangs, and otherwise deplorable lifestyles.
In closing, I really think the only way we can get it through to our arrogant, thick-skulled government is to get a few hundred million kids together to stop going to school, no matter what their parents, or even the government does to punish them, and just stop going 'till the government totally destroys high school all together, stripping it down to around the 6th grade of basic math and literacy.
Sounds drastic, but as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. maybe MTV will do something like that someday. All of you who agree with me, let's unite, and fight the system together, and organize something like this. If most of the students of the USA went on strike, something would happen, a revolution, the dream I have written about previously.
I sure did make my first post count. The responses are surely going to be interesting :lol:
