Oh my god. I wonder if I complained this much when I was a kid.
American curriculum isn't even that advanced... Get over yourselves, school was easy... And if you find high school hard, I have some bad news for you, it gets much harder after.
David L I dont think it being a level of difficulty matters, its how the curriculum is taught overall, some people can't, everyones different, but when it happens to be that a large majority are having issues with it, it becomes an issue
True- in math we were learning everyday a new formula at least 2 per day. And I'm like "when do I have time to digest this?". While I was doing that (precalculse), I was in anatomy. God, I had to memorise the names of muscles, and types of cells and, God knows it was hell. Everyone cheated, and here I was, I lacked the ability to cheat and almost failed...
soulless Assassin You're using anti-social in the wrong context. Anti-social behavior is juvenile dilgent behavior. You mean an introverts? You make it sound like a bad thing. The education system doesn't change someone personality, that's ridiculous
David Beers As in introvert, extrovert or ambivert, no it doesn't. If it does, then that's a 1% chance. You know why? Because it all depends on how you're energised. If you're energised by being alone, you're an introvert. If you're energised by being with people, extrovert. Little bit of both, ambivert.
soulless Assassin No it's not lol. Anti-social does not literally mean "not social". That is not the correct definition. Is it a definition though? Yes it is.
People who for some reason despise introverts or people who don't talk love to misuse that word. They don't want to get into the technicalities and neither do u
soulless Assassin You don't seem to understand me. The correct definition of the word Anti-social did not originally mean "not social". I'm not making this up, I got this from my Health teacher four year ago. He said it himself that is not the right use of the word. I'm saying that the definition your using is not plausible
I was educated in Cuba, where the whole educational system was harder. No multiple choice tests, every answer had o be explained, and we got more stuff to learn in less time. I can guarantee you that it is not the system failing because it throws too much to learn. it is failing because technology, along with the fact that makes life easier, is making people stupid. Calculators are killing the normal mental calculations and procedures to solve math problems. Internet throws in the face a lot of information in seconds, so everyone wants everything easy to have more free time to do empty and useless things.
I left Cuba when I was about to start 10th Grade. Because of the way things work in Cuba with the government, I spent 9 months in the process of migration to USA. Therefore, I spent 9 months at home without going to school. When I got here and resumed school in 2006, 10th Grade, I knew 60% of the content that was being taught already.
So we get holidays, teacher's planning days, more than two months of summer vacation, spring break, Christmas break, and early releases (which make no sense in my opinion) and people complain about too much time spent in school????
Sadly
ReplyDeleteThat triangle could fit through
ReplyDeleteScrew dat, I'm home schooled! punches a hole that I can fit threw and moves on with life
ReplyDeleteill agree with this, the American education system is a prime example of this. Very true!

ReplyDeleteWell... When you start working, which is what school is training you for...
Ask your employer to teach you "in a special way" for all these special snowflake..lol
You'll be turned away on the spot...
You learn or you get fired
David L ....im in my mid/late 20s I work
ReplyDeleteDavid L It's not about it being hard, it's about it getting rid of individualism, making everyone identical in a sense.
ReplyDeleteIt can make it though with common core

ReplyDeleteThe education system throws so much work at you that the only way to keep up is by turning into An antisocial person.

ReplyDeleteJade Cook

Jade Cook It does change change your personality.
ReplyDeletesoulless Assassin That's the exact definition of anti-social. It's not somebody who doesn't like to talk
ReplyDeleteJade Cook
ReplyDeletea lot of Words have more than one definition.

ReplyDelete+soulless Assassin Yeah but anti- social is not one of those words with different correct definitions
ReplyDeleteJade Cook
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
soulless Assassin No it's not lol. Anti-social does not literally mean "not social". That is not the correct definition. Is it a definition though? Yes it is.

ReplyDeleteJade Cook
ReplyDeleteThe correct definition of a word changes, depending how it's used.
soulless Assassin You don't seem to understand me. The correct definition of the word Anti-social did not originally mean "not social".

ReplyDeleteHad to repeat that again
ReplyDeleteJade Cook
ReplyDeleteso what? A lot of words don't mean what they originally did.
Lies then you have to be a circle to fit through you're not being yourself then
ReplyDeletesoulless Assassin Tell me something I don't know. People still use that word Assassin. They use it to diagnose people with anti-social behavior.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely not true.

ReplyDeleteJade Cook
ReplyDeleteIf people didn't use it my way,then it wouldn't exist in dictionaries and glossaries.
