School being a waste of time

[Tixek]

Seriously, I'm way more intelligent than any of these losers at my school and all the work does is just piss me off because it tends to be tedious or involves me being sociable, the teachers need to learn when to shut up and leave me alone, It's only my second year and I'm already feeling like ditching this hole.
How about any of you guys? Any of you think your school is just a huge waste of time too?

I think you are arrogant and don't know the benefit of a proper education. If you feel the need to refer to others as "losers", then you are clearly too immature to head out into the world on your own. It will eat you alive.

Your only in grade 2 and your thinking of ditching school? Geez..

I kid..

But seriously, school is great. You learn how to learn, it teaches you valuable life skills and you learn how how interact with other people. Ever wonder why homeschool kids are a little weird?

And like @Kimarous said: Learn your arse some respect!

..I may of paraphrased a bit, but that's what I feel the overall message is.

This.
OT: I am in the exact same position as you. But instead of whining about it on the internet, I just suck it up, and deal with it. I suggest you do the same.

A proper education is very important, but I kind of feel the same way because I am also much smarter than most of the other kids and everything seems very easy to me. I am a freshman in high school and most of the other freshmen have trouble with the metric system (we're Americans, I know, but seriously? The metric system causes problems?) but I guess that's just public schools for you.
So all you can do is just pass with easy A's, be glad you are smart and have a good education, and stop complaining.

I went though the same thing a little hint if you can handle pain is to either get yourself beat up or hit yourself really hard in the eye then roll down a rough hill got me out of that shit hole, oh and all you people on here who think he is arrogant(which sounds a little like it and I think he just talking about homeschooling not going out on his own) you have no idea what modern schools are like every time it rains "please do walk in the rain you will get wet" honstely the teachers don't know anything either. I had a history teacher who did this history trivia contest and had the 8th grade history teacher(who is actually smart) came up with the questions and once I had beaten all the kids in my class when i faced her she didn't get a single answer and I got one hundred percent, and I slept though her classes. also if you can't be homeschooled pretend to be crazy worked for me no one ever bothered me when ever there was a group project I slept while they did all the work. And on the upside from a lot of people I have talked to if you don't come with in with a jesus christ saves and or green peace tee shirton and a crucifix around your neck they actually are more likely to accept homeschoolers, which is one of the reasons I got out was because I want to be a doctor so while I am homeschooled I am being groomed for that path(ie studing anatomy and such)

(I am about to go to bed so my spelling and or grammar are probably off)

It may be boring at times if you are smarter that the other students but quiting is a sign that you are not smart enough to see the long term problems that will cause. School is a place to learn as well as an endurance test. Passing one part and failing the other equals a total fail.

Find some part of school you enjoy and focus on that if classes are too easy or just hit on the school nurse.

 

[SimuLord]

Please tell me this thread is a joke/parody of whiny kids.

If not, I find that people's intelligence is inversely proportional to how smart they claim to be, so good job learning how to tie your own shoes without mommy helping you.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

You are undoubtedly going to get a lot of advice from this thread regardless if you wanted it or not. So let me just say this, if you want to /angstquit from school go head but your future motto is going to be "do you want fries with that?" and that is if you are really, really lucky. God knows what the GFC is doing to the future job market.

Learn to face adversity like a man, etc..etc..

It's your time, take responsibility for not wasting it.

 

[cheese_wizington]

You need a quality education. If you have a quality education you get the quality car, the quality house, the quality life. If you have a crappy eductaion you get the crappy car, the crappy house, and the crappy life.

Your choice.

Even if you're smarter than everyone else in your class, it's not going to do you much good when you get a job. There's more to it than being intelligent. You feel as if you're 'forced' to be sociable? Well, that's a skill you need to master. In the workforce, I doubt you'll always be on your own. You need to know how to get along with others, even if they're all idiots.

I always felt that 12 years was way too long, since I can probably learn everything much faster. But you know what? I'm glad I'm stuck at school for this long. At this age, even if I think I know everything, I'm not mature enough to just leave school and start my own life.

If school isn't working for you, then you could try to discuss homeschooling, or other options, with your parents. There isn't a certain way of learning that works for everyone. But if you're only two years in, then quitting altogether isn't the best idea. Just stick it out. Having an education means something to other people, even if it means nothing to you.

I meant to say that it is my second year of high school.
And the people who attend my school are unworthy of my respect in my opinion.

If you feel that way about school, then in 5 years you will probably feel like this-

'Seriously, I'm way smarter than any of these losers at my JOB and all the work does is just piss me off because it tends to be tedious or involves me being sociable, the MANAGERS need to learn when to shut up and leave me alone, It's only my second WEEK and I'm already feeling like ditching this hole.
How about any of you guys? Any of you think your JOB is just a huge waste of time too?'

 

[Eggsnham]

Yup, I feel that way too, not because I can't ever help me in life; I'm not that stupid - but because I feel like it's placing me in way too many places that I don't need to be in for prolonged periods of time.

Ex. Geometry for eighty minutes (thank God I don't have to take that class anymore, because I failed it so badly).

Math Explorations for eighty minutes (ME is just basic math for high schoolers).

40 minutes in the morning and afternoon where all we do is sit there doing nothing. That could easily save another 80 minutes.

I should be able to choose whether or not I want to take electives, doing so could easily shave yet another eighty minutes off of my daily schedule (my school uses four 80 minute blocks per day, with another three 40 minute block periods, two of which are useless as I mentioned, and alternates classes every day, in case you were wondering).

Honestly, I should only have to go to school for 1-2 hours to learn what I absolutely need to learn, and then just get the hell out of there.

I don't get why I have to sit there learning all of the extra shit that's just fluff on an application or resume.

I don't plan on becoming some sort of executive with a six digit income, I want to be a writer, I should only have to take English, History and German (my LOTE of choice).

If you came in here expecting agreement and backpatting prepare to be sorely disappointed.

If you are of the troll species I am sorry for wasting your time. *bow*

I was someone who can honestly say, school was a waste of time for, but even that is not true, even my mindless copying of notes and reciting useful facts, I found some focus to hone my talents at drawing things, simply by making the wonderful effort of focusing on it instead of the bullshit going on around me.

I wasn't a very sociable person.

And I had a fairly good plan for life that I'm still working through.

School was just the time it took for me to sit and think. Learning, socializing? All that crap? Didn't do shit for me.

Find ways to utilize your time effectively when things seem pointless.

 

[Tartarga]

My old school was a complete waste of time. I didn't learn crap because most of the teachers were crap. One of them spent every day dicking around on the internet until there was only 15 minutes of class left and then tried to fit an entire days worth of learning into that time. A good teacher he is not.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Stick with it, and it will be over before you know it. We all had to do it, so can you.

Seriously, it's all worth it in the end. Freedom to do whatever you want. However, nothing in life comes free, and thus, you have to pay the price. Just stay with the studies, and do what you are supposed to do, and it will be over before you can say "Diploma."

 

[Julianking93]

Eh. Honestly, I left school my freshman year for 2 reasons:

One - because I was beaten and tormented by teachers and students alike everyday and didn't have a single friend.

Two - because I was acing all of my classes and I was in the advanced courses. I said "fuck you" to school and got the hell out of there. I can honestly say that I am now much smarter than I ever was in school because I can currently study what I want to and not feel obligated to do so.

Please, how pathetic do you think I am? I don't need any sympathy. I just wanted to see if anyone else found the system by which school adheres by is flawed.
