    [​IMG] Is anyone still at school?

    From what i've seen no-one seems to be

    Anyone?

    I hate school, I especially hated my middle school, my mother nicknamed our head a very rude name, used openly there now I believe, thank god I left there.

    Why does homework suck so much? i've got better stuff to do!

    Yeah, working all day sucks all right, but at least I get paid for all my hard work! :)

    [​IMG] And you two don't plan on taking a break between school systems?

    I found it wonderfull to take a one year work and one year army service before starting at university.

    By "you two" I assume you mean Thorin and I.
    I'm not taking a year or two off, because I want to get to university as soon as I can. I'll be 17 for half of my freshman year in university, and after my 4 years, I'm going to join the military as an officer, and go through the pilot training. If I manage all of this, I'll be a Lieutenant by the time I'm 22, and if I become a fighter-pilot, I'll be a captain the following year (this is all Air Force, btw). I don't know about you, but to me that's really cool (especially since it took my dad about 10 years to make captain :p).

    Word up Nobleangel! Even though I abhorred my military service so gave it me a new appetite for learning. I actually went into university eager to learn. No one should jump straight from school to school. You need to get new perspectives on life.

    Not in school anymore, but you don't *have* to do your homework. Any of it. You don't always have to be present either, exactly. *cough* I got above average grades, but that doesn't give anyone an excuse to follow my example.

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't find school that bad. You get to see your friends, some subjects suck but others are okay. The only thing I hate about school is homework, but I guess it's still better than working.

    No, sorvo, study hall was for sleeping. Homework was on the bus going to school. Or during homeroom. I had two study halls in my junior year. That was the most well rested I've ever been.

    I lived 2 blocks away from my school, so I never got to experience the "bus" I didn't take a single book home that whole year:D

    This is a quote from another of my posts, but you should find it rather enjoyable:

    “...Even though he hasn’t learned anything useable besides the difficulties of GPA-threatening busy work in his entire school experience, the teachers get paid huge amounts to whine about how much they get paid. That’s because most of them are under-qualified retardations of a long-ago-useful system, who lack both the minds and personalities to combat against possible
    nonconformity to the American society base, and have been babysitting since they went to school themselves, which makes them so good at their job, which gives them the ability to whine for more money in the name of young minds (which they, themselves, pollute frequently with laziness and laziness-bribed easy standards of learning), which, ultimately, makes them greedy bastards
    like most of the people involved in education (which is the reason it started in the first place, which is a long, long time ago just after overpopulation began and people began to necessitize generalization). Man’s best chunk of life is drawn and quartered by a brainwashing sermon from
    an aging offspring of American tax dollars day after day after day, and this system has grown too powerful to stop, so no one tries. The smarter of the students find themselves being conformed into special niches and daily routines which are easy for the teachers to make money from, and
    most of these kids kill themselves before twenty years. No payment for those who live is given, except for the premonition of future payment (which happens whether or not busy work is finished successfully, simply in degree of greediness), and America grows to have smarter, more taxed people every year...”
