As a Junior in High School, my view on school is iffy. To be slightly more specific, it is incredibly corrupt. Students who do well, including myself, can simply learn how to play the system to raise their grades....
For just about all of my years in school, I've done many things to raise my grades. The source of it, all, however, is kissing major ass. Once convincing teachers you are a "good person," you get so much benefit of the doubt, it's idiotic. To date, I haven't done a single homework assignment in my Physics class. My grade? 102%. No extra credit, either. Adding on, I've been given 100% on essays that I have never turned in, but the teachers never approached me about them... etc.
The next thing I absolutely loathe are the remainder of the students at my school. Half of them are mentally ill, I assume, from Jersey Shore. (The other day, I heard a girl who told her best friend that she had JUST learned birthdays happen on the same day each and every year. I wanted to slap the bitch.)
I'll spare you the long stories. What are your opinions on school, be it High School, College, or otherwise?
I guess for now, I'll give you some satisfaction from the college system. If those kiss-assess get into anywhere decent, they'll crumble. This I assure you of.
I don't know about that. Those are usually the people who go to office hours.
Oh Chillax, I love you~
But even then, I feel like those kids don't do very well. Either they ask concept confirmations (which sound dumb 99% of the time) or ask too specific of questions that don't really contribute to the understanding/reinforcement of the concept. Iunno, I feel like there will always be a glass ceiling for those types of kids but then again, who I am I to decide that?
I was a straight-A student. Did all my homework.
There is SO MUCH I've forgotten because I never actually need to apply it. I wish I'd spent more time on the subjects that actually interest me. There is so much I don't even need. Would have been nice to be able to draw more.
So much of it is unnecessary. I don't have anything against the amount of time. It's what the time was spent on.
[FONT="Times New Roman"]I honestly think Steins;Gate motivated me to get better grades in school, because in my mind, I was like "I do NOT want to end up like Okabe" =/
And I don't mean what happens in the storyline, but how he kinda acts like an idiot most of the time. It's cute, but... not something I look up to <.<[/FONT]
