[QUOTE=tankkiller;18726290]Most teachers don't fucking do their job though, most of them nowadays just throw books at kids and tell them to read/do everything in the book before x amount of time.[/QUOTE]
ahahahaha.
bullshit.
As a contruction worker who constantly has to go to school to fix shit because of weather(Hawaii is being hit really hard right now), all I see are kids either talking about The Ultimate Fighter or sleeping while the teacher is telling them how to do it.
Stop blaming on the teachers. They're doing your job and they're only there to tell you how to do shit. If your so fucking lazy as to listen, then you don't belong in school.
Not to mention, that's not even an excuse. You have computers, libraries, books, notes, and friends to ask for help. You don't use them.
A tool is noting but useless unless someone uses it.

The reason kids don't give a shit is because they aren't taught how to apply the knowledge their given. It might as well all be noise.
Schools teaches kids facts, and facts are completely pointless if you can't use them for something. Truth is most kids just don't think about where it is they want to go and they end up meandering for about 20 years before they're out of college and they still don't know shit. But that's more of a problem with our culture in general than it is school specifically.

I disagree. The only part I agree with you is the practicallity of certain parts of education. Such as math. Back then, I was learning shit about Math I didn't need to know. I just wanted to learn math for so I can learn to pay tax and be basically knowledged. But other shit are important and they're meant to at least knowledge you in certain areas.
English - Author, helps you at least write a good report that your boss might be impressed with, be an English teacher in the future and etc.
Social Studies - You gotta fucking know about the country your living in.
Science - Attempting to get you knowledged about body, physics, and etc so we can have more smart scientist in the future.
You can go ahead and disagree with me if you want, that's the beauty of America.
But here's an another truth: [b] Majority of companies or whatever won't accept you if you don't have a degree.[/b]. Some may do, but don't deny majority won't. I'd rather accept a college education engineer in my company rather than a dropout who claims he knows all his shit reading from the internet.

And you would want to work in the corporate world why? Christ, I'd rather mine diamonds in Angola. You kids have no idea just how horrible these "AWESOME COLELGE JOBS!@34" really are. Shitty hours, shitty compensation, you're basically the companies disposable bitch, no matter the position. Having a degree wont make anybody think twice about firing you to advance strategically.
I am now going to enjoy my 9-10 weeks of vacation even more!
Anyway, it's not going to do any bad for you. ( To be honest, I would have the same because then I can have more courses in high-school. )

Are you serious? Go enjoy mining diamonds and barely affording food then.
I can see the reason for this. A lot (Not all) of America is stupid.
Sad thing is..he wouldn't be considering this if people stayed in school and actually passed their classes.
Instead we have drop-outs and failures.
Also bad teachers.
More time isn't gonna completely fix it. It's better to try to fix how teachers teach and students learn. :D
Children that don't want to go to school should immediatly be drafted into boring factory work for pathetic wages. I'll give them a week before they decide they would rather be at school making an effort to learn.
I know who people who are under 18 aren't voting for. Oh wait...
I think, at some point, I must travel to America to compare their education system to that which I experienced, to determine whether or not the system is as bad/good as various people argue.
We do need new generations to learn because we will eventually run out of smart people and live in some form of age where no one knows how to do anything.
Well thats what i think anyway :v:

While none of them are exactly serious(unlike Bush), his fuckup list is getting about as long as Bush's.

He's president of the US, not the world. He runs a country that's not even that free.
They had like 3 beers between them you over dramatic tool.
In the UK, the only reason you become a teacher is to work in a prestigious secondary, or because you aren't good enough at what you chose to do. Very few people become teachers because they want to.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;18726252]i agree.

Maybe if my geometry teacher actually knew what the fuck she was talking about, I wouldn't fall asleep in there.
You know America clocks more hours in school than the Chinese school system?
[QUOTE=E1025;18718144]you can whine all you want but this (in theory) should improve grades, the masses of FP are just crying because they don't get to do jack shit for weeks on end.[/QUOTE]
It does not, because at least I just lose any glance of interest nor concentration after a set time in school, and any additional time I am there is wasted. I am just not able to learn. Not that I wouldn't keep myself from falling asleep, I just can't listen to what the teacher is saying.
This applies to all day periods (maximum number of hours a day I am able to learn anything), week periods (maximum number of days a week I am able to study without pretty much psychically degrading), and even to the period summer holidays.
They should better aim at making the system better. To clean up the process to cut out the barely useful parts of the themes, to change the attitude of the teachers, etc.

Conservative my ass.
If I was conservative I wouldn't be arguing in favor of civil rights, and talking negatively of alcoholism.
