It's a fucking piece of cake if you just respect your teachers (By respect I mean not get loud with them and disrupt what they're trying to teach you) and if you just do the easy ass work they assign. Blacks and Latinos struggle so much, at least here in Cali, because they always want to start shit with their teachers and act defiant when they don't need to. Sure there are some teachers that are just straight up dicks, but you can't deny you can still pass the class if you just mind your own business and do your work. And plus most teachers are teachers because they love to teach, remember they don't get paid that much. So obviously they are teaching for a reason..

Thats not a education though. I remember in high school the year book posted the top 25 GPA's in the graduating class. Most of the kids on the top 25 were morons. They were the ones that kissed ass and did there home work. But they had no common sense. No grasp on whats going on in the real world. Yet they were the ones who will have 10X the options then I will ever have. Thats why this country is falling behind in math and science. Because of thinking like this.

I know, thats why we need to unite and rise up. Because we just sat there and let it happen. Our arrogance got the best of us. We refused to believe this country could have problems. We refused to believe other countries could have better answers then this country. We refused to believe that this country is robbing us of our freedoms, liberties, and our money. Now we are paying the price and we're still not doing anything about it. Thats why I really believe we need unite and rise up to get this country back..... VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN

When did he say he supports socialism? I've never seen a post from him that says he does.

What should happen is that Universities should just get rid of their GE classes. It's there for the undecided people, but it fucks everybody else up who knows what they want.
Are the High Schools really in such a bad shape? Pretty much the goal of every High School student is to either get accepted to a University or prefer a cheaper route and start off with a JC. Sure, every school is different (quality wise) and each state has it's own "guidelines" on what to teach but in the end it's all general education. Public or Private, it's going to be General Education. And is that really such a bad idea? It's important to have a balance of knowledge. If you're a Jr in High School and you know you want to Major in Econimcs...enroll yourself in to a Junior College and start getting some Econ classes. You can be in the most fucked up High School, with the worst teachers in the Country and still make it to a good school. How? Buy an SAT Book and study your ass off. Universities know that Public Schools range from horrible to elite schools, that's why they consider everything when you apply.
