I think many students do, but it depends on the neighborhood that they're in. The schools near the area where I live are bad, and most people who were in there and graduated got to go to a bad high school afterward. But--go a few miles in a different direction and there's a better school with better attendance and grades throughout.
Either way, if a student is doing bad, he or she will eventually see that down the road and get a GED or whatever most likely if the student drops out/is kicked out. They're not all hopeless.

Amazing how many people forego the actual topic to point out the clearly intentional joke of this threads topic.
You'd be surprised how similar things can be in certain schools worldwide. Here in the UK, any of the lower to middle class schools are dominated by these 'I don't care about my future' types who make life hell for everyone else.
Then they wind up either dead or on the street. One guy who gave me hell as a kid I recently saw sleeping on a bench outside a supermarket looking like a dog had pissed on him.
I lol'd.

To the OP, know this...I am having the shittiest day in existence and you made it a little brighter.
Granite....hehe
I sense intentional irony.
Sadly, said irony also killed any real discussion I could make about it.

I should be reading the saga of Olav the holy right now. I need to have finished a review of it by wednesday, and on thursday I have an important physics test (4 chapters, last test of the year). On friday I have French endterms or whatever they're called.
French is one of the subjects that I'm not good at.
Pretty heavy week. I definitely shouldn't be sitting on the escapist...
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh god. That is so hypocritical that I laughed my fuggin', like, tits off.
I am titless.
And yeah. But then again, you obviously don't know much about history. In the past, school didn't mean as much. It was shorter, and not mandatory. A lot of people didn't even go to school at all, and made it pretty big. So if you did go to school, it's not like everyone studied like a mother.
One of my country's most famous book - Kevade, by Oskar Luts - is a novel about an ordinary Estonian school's daily life, and the mischief and mishappenings commited by the students. It's based on Luts' life, and of course it's not the only relic from the past that shows us that there hasn't been a time period where everyone everywhere studied like mad, every day of every week of every month of every lousy few years to, uhh...get the highest grades, I suppose.
Totally.
These kids need to have schools made of MUD & STICKS. None of this granite stuff.
Spoiled brats...
When I was their age, we had to help build the school before we could attend.

Sorry to be that guy, but school could not be more of a waste of time. Same goes for most higher ed (uni/college/tafe/whatever). Unless you're planning to do a 'professional' degree (by which I mean medicine, engineering, law etc) you're wasting your time, and even if you are planning on doing one such degree, the majority of what you do in school is a waste of your time.
If I had my way again, there's no way in fuck I'd sit through 6 years of secondary school. The manditory subjects (english, geography and history) are so poorly run they may as well not bother (not the fault of the teachers, but the curriculum is so bad it's nauseating), and they are mandatory for far too long (english is a mandatory class in your final year of highschool? If you can't read and write adequately by then, you don't belong in school).... they become abstract and, more annoyingly irrelevant to the overwhelming majority of students because they are mandatory longer than there is relevant content to teach. The maths is of such a low standard that anyone even remotely mathematically inclined could pick it up in a year or two if it was taught properly (or a few months if it was studied exclusively). The sciences are taught in such a simplistic (and biology oriented) manner that they are pointless (and often blatantly wrong). Overall far too much emphasis is put on keeping students out of the work force (hence why there is such a push for Tertiary level study, even though the things most people study serve no real purpose).
The only positive aspect of school is the social aspect, learning to communicate and work with or alongside other students. I truly can't stress how pointless the content is enough.

Well, that's cause they are kids. You send them to school to learn things, because they don't know much at that age. They don't know the value of education, because they aren't educated enough to do so.
On the other hand, talking when teachers do is just rude.

Yeah, the OP might be intentional with that. We could let an awesome chance at wordplay go by or risk being trolled. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place...tzimize said:
