You got schooled - volumo uno(possiblemente ultimo tambie'n)

Here I am going to lay out what the slightly off average lazy/bored high schooler(me) thinks about his classes:

History - Too damn much boring reading about stuff I really couldn't care less about
English - The reading is bearable, but you have to remember everything that happens in the book
Science - What? I don't get to pick which science I take til I'm a junior!?!?!? >.<
Math - ugh, I have to memorize all these formulas and remember them for the next 6 months -_-
(extra) language - I actually find learning this language useful and I can't really find anything to critique in how i've learned it so far...other than that one crazy teacher who made us sing :-D

Basically, I believe grades are a very inaccurate scale of the person's knowledge...sure, they may know the exact date montana was annexed into the US, but can they analyze history and economics to predict what will happen to the US economy over the next 50 years?

I have to say that most valedictorians are not the smartest persons in their class. They just happen to be pretty smart and they work very hard to receive that honor. I personally can't get enough motivation to even get straight A's--too much work for too little reward.

Now that its summer, I honestly want to get all A+'s next school year(because I'm bored and need something to do). I know I could if I really tried, but I doubt I will...It'll start boring me, and then I'll just want to sit around and play online games instead.

I want to get a job building computers or troubleshooting computer problems, as it is something I find fun. I want to learn more about computers. But what can I learn about the history and development of computers at school? Nothing. But I can learn how to use dreamweaver to design webpages. This is how most schools teach web design- they just make the kid use dreamweaver. In order to best use a programming language, it is best to actually learn the code-that way you learn all of the capabilities of that language, and know what you can and cannot do. And if you find something you can't do, but would like to, you can simply find another way to do it! All they do is teach you how to use the program, not how to use the code - the essence of the page!

uhhh...i dunno what else to rant on about! :-D

I'm tired of this, Ima go eat or something...

ok this is kinda lame, and was gonna be posted here, but anyways, now im posting it here, and i may post it there later...if its posted here and not there, we'll just call it an editorial :-D

woohoo! Rants by me = teh shiz!
