School

Appears to me that you don't know how to work the system. I love to learn. I do learn.

About homework, come on. I don't know how no one ever realizes you DON'T HAVE TO DO IT TILL HIGH SCHOOL. Seriously, it is impossible to fail (unless your parents agree to hold you back) before high school (at least in California).

Care to elaborate how I dont know how to 'work' the system? I don't know about california but in Maryland to 'work' the system you have to be algebra 2by 9th(or maybe 8th cant recall) grade. Allowing you to do two math college courses before even leaving high school.

Grants can only go so far, loans aren't even worth it if you look at it statistically, which you havent I assume. I'm talking college level, not silly high school. You know how college works? Depending on the teacher you may not even have to show up for class unless theres a test (in my school ate least, they will email you to warn you). Most if not all your work is done at home. So in my county they reinforce that as young as 5th grade. If anything it appears to me your school system is inferior if you want to challenge 'working' the system. Loans can have an interest that would make you pay nearly double back (ITT technical institue is another great example of this). If you are below 25 your parents income counts towards that loan. Bigger numbers =less likely to get a chunk of change.

You know I tried college, it seemed like a repeat of HS except teachers care less, they are proned to screw you over more, and the work load is average 1hour spent in class is 3 hours worth of work at home. Working out your general classes is a pain in the ass and once again redundent bull pomegrant but you gotta do it. Frankly I'm considering other things besides the standard college routine so I actually feel interested in it. But from my own research and parents opinion college is a down right overated pothole in life and if anything you should get a company to pay for it to enhance your education. I gurrantee, full heartidly anyone who just jumps into college wil be in debt for a very long time. This is speaking as of 6 years of course (2 standard, 4 for bachlors). Yeah gratz you got the piece of paper to get that job you always wanted!...Have fun paying it off; and according to pretty much any source of information on the subject will you tell you the same thing.

And about homework, let me put it in a perspective you understand. The public school education system goes by one thing; We teach you how to do the dam thing now you have to do monkey work until its stuck in your head on your own time.

In high school, I didn't have to attend unless I understood it because I brought this up to my superintendent (who made us the guinea pig class of 2000 by changing our hours to 7:17am-1:55pm, 4 classes 84 minutes long with a 32% increase rate in homework) that I find it silly I have to attend a class where most people sleep in during the lecture and still pass because our teachers pretty much recite the answers over and over again. Gimme the bookwork the county tests on and I'll do it myself. If I don't understand said material then I will attend the class. What happened? Well he didn't argue because if I can still pass the tests that test standards in flying colors why do I need to attend it.

What I do? I only worked 3 hours a day while most of my friends were stuck for 6 hours, went to school when I felt the need too or needed to take a test. So I went to school about every 3 days and occassionaly because I didn't comprehend some stuff that ends up being irrelevent unless i somehow land in the 3% of available jobs it applies too.

So, how do you work the system?
