[quote="Julie Skywalker"][quote="GeminiGemelo"]I don't think most people understand how much I seriously hate our public education system. It's silly, petty, dumbed down, and incredibly inefficient. Luckily for me there's just one more year and I'm off to college... personally, though, I doubt my attendance record is going to get any better between now and then. Hope they don't mind too much.
I wish they'd stop complaining about it.
Oh, well. Better do what I can this summer.[/quote]
If whatever college you're going to is anything like mine, I hope you're prepared to fail every class you miss more than three times. Absence directly effects your grade, and they actually teach you things (unlike in lower school) so you'll miss something important. But not all colleges are good colleges, so yours could be bad still, especially if it's a community college, from what I hear.[/quote]
Welp, looks like I caused a big discussion about school. Sorry about that.
But yeah, I am aware of this.
Personally, I don't mind going to school as long as I learn something. In the meantime, though, I feel little to no motivation to attend my high school classes. Fact is, ever since coming to the high school in 10th grade, I've missed about a day a week (on average, sometimes 2+) and I still get A's. In AP classes. At a school that's supposedly the best in the area, academically speaking.
If that doesn't say anything about our education system, I don't know what does.

On a lighter note, I went horseback riding today for the first time in a few weeks. That was a good time. :3
If only we had free college like Europe
