we have the toughest program in school...every day we get out at 20:30. I dunno about smartness but i sure don't put my back into learning. And 15 and 23 times in 15 days isn't that much...
I used to think the same, I have since arrived at the following conclusion:-
You go to school to show how well you can learn and for others to determine how intelligent you are. The way this works is that during your time at school you learn about many things, some of which are never required again, you get tests and exams etc on these to show how well you have picked all of these up, this shows how well you are able to learn things and thus can acertain a level of intelligence. So depending on your grades/results prospective employers are able to determine how well you will learn and pick up the job. The different subjects you do will show which fields you are more likely to excel in, I myself was always top of the year (or near enough) in mathematics, my logic skills are particularly good and I am able to solve problems/puzzles more easily than most, so I chose my profession accordingly - I am a Pizza delivery man.
the thing is ...i'm starting to realise that what u do in school is slowly turning into a ...thingie for wich teachers get payed for.. I have to get extra payed hours at home to be able to keep up at school...cause the teachers don't care if i know or not round here. Ofcourse they're not payed enough to want to do that...But the useless shit u learn in school is enormous.

thats the thing, teachers always assume that you already know what their talking about and if you dont well, your just stupid and shouldn't be in school, not only that they let the clowns grab their attention and spend most of the time in the lessons stressing at the ppl least responsible. college is completely different (thank the higher being!).
true, teachers arent paid enough, but still they should make the effort in the class to help the ppl who need the help and want to learn. I mean, if you go to the inconvenience of showing up to their class in the first place then they should at least make the effort to make the class worth teaching!
