hearts on fire wrote:I understand all of those points made, school is the best part of our lives, once I leave school and enter the "real world" and start working, i will soon realise how vital it was, but in saying that, school has changed a bit since you guys went and it also depends on which school you go to, what type of person you are and how "well" you actually want to do.
I go to a very sh1t school, no money and public school (nothing wrong with that) and the standard is pretty low, alot of students fail and do not do much at all, and that sets the tone for everyone. I am in between, i am no where the best student, but i am average. No one really wants to learn, so this makes it hard for the teachers, and they find it hard to teach. Alot of students just go with the flow, just cruise through and do not worry about learning.
I had the choice to go to a private, "higher class school", but i chose to go to this one because of obviously my mates, im not the smartest going around(im not dumb though

) and it just isn't me, i couldn't see myself at a private school. At the end of the day, I know i will make it through school and get a decent job but i just find that alot of teachers take things way out of context, overcomplicate things, when they could be straight to the point and teach things we actually need!!
By the way, i am taking all of your posts on board, i know us teenagers think we know everything

and are pains in the arses, but at the end of the day we are only learning, one day i bet i will be telling kids exactly what you guys are telling me!
