95% Of The Time School Is Unnecessary

Anything you want to learn you can just go get the books on your own, surf the internet, and ask people who know. 

Now, if the point of school is having a certificate or degree to prove proficiency in a particular field, then rather than school, they should just have exams and  other practical tests where people can prove their worth to a perspective employer. 

Sikotic™:
Very true. Especially the higher you go in education. You realize how much of it is beaurocratic BS.

WestCoasta:
you only learn something if you're interested, no matter where

especially MATH!! FUCKIN A MAN! Ive avoided it in college as long as I can but I finally couldnt dodge it nemore.  Today was the first day of the semester :-\  Math is so pointless though, I am never gonna use this stupid shit ever, fuck math

Don Seer:
I use math on the daily...

I was getting low-ish math grades throughout school.. then i started on a computer course.. i had to retake the same maths test again that year.. i skipped these extra lessons for the whole year bar a bunch at the beginning and end.. so basically about 15 lessons.. and i passed it.. just coz i'd learned how to look at things right through other experiences..

IMO its not enough to teach someone something.. they have to know WHY. a twist on the old "teach a man to fish" thing

teaching a man to teach himself is one of the best skills you can do. my job today everything I do is self taught, and i'm learning daily.. and i've learned to find the information I need to get my job done.

i found that through my experiences that teaching style helps a great deal
