Honestly, for those in high school or graduated how would u of rated your education. It bothers me when i see every1 else say we learned this in school, an it something we never ever touched apon. There's stuff that u guys say they told you in school, an in my highschool it was something they never told tha whole truth about. In school, i always thought i was one of tha smarter ones, i see it in my classes, when i mention something an no1 has a clue about what im talking about. Like in my english class, no1 knew what a narrative song was. I was like, how stupid can some people be. Than i come to tha board an see all tha knowledge tha other highschoolers in this board drop an i feel like a fuckin idiot. i am startin to believe that tha NY education is a lot weaker than tha rest of tha country thinks. In city schools, it was something like 50%-60% of high school kids couldnt read a clock. I remember last year in english i knew who machiavelli was in one class, every1 looked at me like i had 3 eyes. I want an honest view, no bullshit on how u learned shit cuz u hated high school, honestly, how would u of rated ur high school education

Piss poor out out of a state that is 50th overall in the nation. Let's put it like this, California has the worst schools in the U.S., and we were in the 30% of that. You do the math. And I'm struggling in college well others around me suceed, makes me feel like I was never meant to leave San Bernardino and get out that place. Makes me believe that there is a system to keep the rich rich and the poor poor. But we were kids, why punish us?

all i wanna say is that, back in the middle east, i used to have indian education system, and that was a LOT tougher than the shit they teach here, and a LOT more complicated, plus everyone there knew about the world, but when i came to canada, no one here knows shit about ANYTHING, like they think the middle east is in pakistan or africa or sumtin.....
N even the newspapers, back where i used to live the newspapers had WORLD news, and all dat shit, here in canada, its mostly focused on usa/canada .....

Face it, U.S. public education sucks, LOL. I slid through the system as low key as possible, and didn't learn anything I didn't want to, ha.
Tom - You always say you're ignorant, and things, but you have an incredible knowledge of baseball. That's how we are, we learn what we are interested by. School didn't interest me too much, so I just did the minimum to get by, and studied what I wanted (Egypt, religion, love, music, guitar, classic cars, etc.)

I honestly believe I've learned as much as I can from the school system. I still study hard and everything but it's nothing but review.
-
well right now i'm stil in school, and yeah i used to lvie in Peru and their education seemed to be tougher but here in Arizona, OMG so many dumb people, we are a dumb state but i seem to be doing good and i'm learning stuff, and i'm learning the most i can and i'll just have to see where it will take me

I live in cali and my highschool really sucked education wise. It was really ridiculous. I always got good grades and learned some stuff like a lot of math, and some other things. But for the most part much of it was wasted time. Some subjects that I had to take classes in have no relevance to my life. But the fact of the matter is that if you want to get a decent job nowadays you need to have a college degree. You also learn a lot of bullshit in college too. The best education you can get is just from life experiences, not from a damn book.

fo real, like 3/4 of all the shit in my brain i learned outside of school, all that political nonsense and shit
as for Middle East,
the middle east typically consists of all the Arab countries plus Israel and Iran, however, they also MAY include Afghanistan, Egypt and Turkey by some definition
Pakistan is definitely NOT part of the middle east

Thats The Realest Thing I've Read In This Forum. You Way Saying Something About Narrative Songs Before, Well Most People In My Class Still Dont Know What A Fuckin Metaphor Is. Just From Coming Onto WCC And Reading All These Diffrent Opinons Has Enlightened Me.

Public Schools in America only offer one course of study, and it's called, "The glorification of European Culture and Society." The only other class is math.
They need to stop teaching American history, and start teaching world history, because your knowledge, and your potential for human growth, is limited when your only seeing 1/16 of the world. It's like I was studying life through a microscope. When there's so many other countries, idea's, religions, and culture's out there, that our schools here teach us are secondary. Did you know that psychology is taught differently in Western Society then in Eastern? The way we view ourselves as people is grafted and limited because of the psychology and studies in America. This is damaging to us all. Even in college I still encounter the same problems. I'm in a music appreciation class. The curriculum makes no mention of African, Native American, or Middle Eastern Music. How is that possible?

school sucked.. I felt I was kept out of (most) higher groups not because I couldn't do the work / wasn't intelligent but because I was prone to yapping too much - I sank into apathy then... shit gotta lot better when I got to college I had to re-take a few things.. and I got em all.

Yah California has been known as havin the worst schoolz in tha country. We have tha worst Teacher to Student ratio, i think its close to 40 students per Teacher. And tha amount of qualified teachers is terrible. One reason is because there is just SO many people out here. By far the most populated state so tha schoolz r very over-crowded. Also, ask teachers around tha country...people just dont wanna come out here to teach. For one, start-up teachers get put in tha "bad schoolz", so no one wants to be there. And 2, teachers salaries arent that good, and tha cost of living in California (rent, gas, electricity, etc) is SO high...that its not worth it for them. My school wasnt TERRIBLE, but it wasnt great either. ALOTTA people who came outta my school...aint doin SHIT now. Either pregnant, locked up, or jus chillin n doin tha same dumb shit they did in high schoo.

I will tell you who is doing good though. Minnesota and Wisconson have two of the better schools in the nation. The kids in this school are smart, and have good work habit. As I'm studing to be a teacher so I can go back home and be one of the few good teachers, so for practice I get to go to the classrooms here. To get a teaching lissions here, it's harder as you got to graduate college with a 2.7 in your subject area, have so many hours of observing, and student teach. In Cali, you just have to past a test, so times do nothing but get on on emgericy credentials. As well going in the classroom, it seems that students are taught more stuff, and different ways to solve problems. Of course it's easier with less number of students. But Minnesota is going to have a downfall, as tax payers are refusing to start spending money on intercity schools. That's a bad thing they are starting, must be a Jesse Ventera thing. (the only wrestler for Governor.)

Well because of the bad education, most of the kids r just in skool to chill, smoke,fuk bitches n drink.....WHICH in turn decides their future.....so basiclly bad education = bad country .... so the goverment n shit should really look into this..
-{bLaDe}

naw actually its ok man, lol, cause aslong as i can have christa in my class, then its all good, no need for an education, lol
-
^^ Man, the kids are our future, teach them well, and let them lead the way. HAHA
Really though, I'm all about kids. Kids are as close to god as you can get. Kids are what the world is all about, and Jesus said that if anyone harms a hair on a childs head, they would be better off to never have existed, since he will be our judge.
Our government should do whatever it can to continue to strive to provide a good, free education for every child in america.
-
True... children are our future. That's why I'm going into education. I would love to see MORE FUNDING in schools, and equal funding. Most money goes to rich schools. But the argument is that they pay the taxes, so they should get the money. I think that school money should get evenly distrubited 'cause it ain't the kids fault he was born poor. But anyways, the United States though is in for big changes ahead. I can smell it. Something is going to happen that makes a positive change in the United States, and a lot of views will be cleared.
-
^^ Hopefully, man. I hope.

my school's aright, it doesn't suck as much as other people's on here , from what they say anyways, but at my school i've noticed that the education you get is based upon how much effort you put into it. theres 3 levels
general-kids who don't want to learn
College Prep-kids who want to learn but not a whole lot
GATE/Honors- kids who are litterally obsessed with learning
i've been in all 3 levels and honestly ANYONE can be in the 'smart classes' you just got to put forth effort
that's what i think it is, and why kids here in america , get bad scores and all that....becuase we don't have to put forth that much effort in highschool , as opposed to china where kids HAVE to get A's
i think what it tricles down to is motivation and effort, if there was more of that the subjects we study in school would be better, school is what you make it
-
school is what you make it
kinda like that nas song, life is what you make it, LOL, he should do a remix of it school is what you make it version, LOL
-
i'm gonna be real with ya'll right now.....i graduated from high school in 4.5 years LOL (i started school 1 year early so fuck ya'll) and didn't learn SHIT!!!!!!! well i guess i learned 3 different things....
1. i learn how to type fast without looking at the keyboard
2. i learn some algebra
3. i learn how to slide through the cracks every year to get by and still get a over 3.0 GPA!!!!
high school is just fun man too damn easy....
if you want real education, college is JUST THE START.....
