That's 2 out of 4 and for what reason? Uhh let's guess... Because we live in the US. How much sense would it make for us to know the History of China or Indonesia. I mean sure it wouldn't hurt but you gotta think how much we're going to use that kind of stuff. How retarted would I look walking down the street reciting the French Constitution?

"La France sera une République indivisible, séculaire, démocratique et sociale. Elle assurera l'égalité de tous les citoyens avant la loi, sans distinction d'origine, de course ou de religion. Elle respectera toute la croyance. Elle sera organisée sur une base décentralisée."

See I feel stupid typing that, or copy paste for that matter. I mean just because we learn a great deal learning about US History, doesn't mean we don't learn other history.

How else would I know your name comes from Atilla the Hun if all we learned about was US history.

I think he means we should have more classes on other powerful nations. Or places that are in turmoil. The Middle East, Asian countries, etc etc. I'm in World AP and so far we did nothing what so ever. Our teacher started listening to Boys to Men halfway through the class.

Hm...I know some people that love school.

Then again, it's because they're parent never let them play games. There's this guy at my school that has never played a video game until high school. He's been in the basement of the school ever since, playing Counterstrike or something.

And yet again all those histories come back to US.I had Global Studies this year and all we learned about was UN and guess what else? US. I want the real HISTORY, not the shit that happened in the country I live in. All US history has is a civil war and a billion boring bills.
And as for Attila the Hun, you could have easily learned about him on the internet. I know my last 6 years I went to school and we didn't ONCE go under the year of 1500,let alone outside of America...Which is pretty pathetic.

I have to sing by myself without school.

Thats not fun.

Don't get me wrong,singing is just fine alone.

But its much better with a choir.

Well don't blame it on the US. Maybe you should blame it on your school system. I mean my World History started in Mesopotamia and ended around 1500. All of which time we didn't cover America.

Oh and about Attila, that's the point, I could have learned it from the internet, but World History taught me first.

I like school i like the feeling of accomplishment that only comes from school related work. If there was a drug that help you get that feeling I would abuse it so bad..

Oisterboy · 09-04-2007, 10:51 AM

I say the main problem with schooling, is that they only teach one way. Not everyone learns the same way, and the way teachers teach is only REALLY good for about 1/4 of the population. If we had hands-on activities, and things that I can actually RELATE to life, and understand WHY I'm learning them, maybe I'd be more keen on learning them.

When, EVER, am I going to have to write a ****ing "quote essay"? Honestly? I hope a criminal catches me and holds a gun to my head and tells me "write a quote essay, and you can go" sometime. Maybe THEN I'd like school. Doubt it.
