Also, it's still a common problem that people have no idea what to do in life, and it can change at any time. High school is meant to teach you the basics and highlights of every subject, and simulate what your job might be, so your choices are easier.

Ya know, I had the classes called art and gym in elementary school, and THEY were mandatory. Sorry kid, no 10 year olds on NG. Come back when your balls drop.

Maybe because we don't have soldiers running into the houses of civilians and killing them for no apparent reason? That's killing the population. Us on the other hand, are less barbaric.

Once again, naive statement. See, this is the reason why I hate third world countries...

If you knew any of Russia's deepest secrets, you'd know exactly why I'm not offended in the slightest by this typical Yankee "insult" that you seem to believe is actually working in any way. The fact that I'm even responding should tell you that you're just BARELY worth enough of my time for a response.

Anyway you may not like school, but it is important if you want to do somewhere with your life, most of the time kids hate school to either look "cool" or to rebel against an authority figure.

if you have a positive attitude toward school, you'll enjoy it.

Fuck your third world country. Seriously if I was a fucking general, I would wipe your useless existence off the face of this planet. You meaningless fucks mean nothing. Seriously, fuck you all! I wish I could do that let me tell you. Scared yet?

Took the words right out of my mouth. Saved me a lot of typing :D.

Ok everyone, here is my understanding of the topic i did not mention.

Language arts- How could i forget that one...but in my eyes writing and punctuation will move to computers in the future. Though it may not be now, computers are the future. Yes, spelling is important. Or atleast use to be. With the technology nowadays, our grammar should not be worried about.

And for those of you who experience other topics, im only in middle school. I cant point out every topic in the world. And besides, i just wanted to put out a clear oppinion of the main ones.

I fail to see how Russia can have better technology than the U.S. when the best universities in the world are American and the so-called "yankees" have slightly higher average IQs than Russians. In fact out of the top ten universities in the world, eight of them are in the U.S., while out of the top one hundred, only one of them is in Russia and it's at #67. Source.

We also know how to keep control of our currency system, unlike America and its current downward spiral of business cuts and job losses.

Yeah, cutting the social security benefits given to students, war veterans, pensioners and the disabled is a great way of 'keeping control' of the country's money. It's not really a surprise that Russians turn to alcohol to soften the blow of what their moronic government deals them with.

Also, Grammar.

Yep, fitness is stupid! Fuck heart disease, its obvious you're hardcore and can take it like a man! Math? Forget about it, hire someone to do your taxes for you! Who cares if you miss out on a few thousand dollars in savings?

You're 14, how the fuck would you know if you use this shit or not?

Benefit of the doubt. You're being taught by people older and smarter then you. Give them a fucking chance.

Useless? Yeah a member of the G8 is totally useless. They've survived in this World far longer then we have. By virtue of venerability, they probably know more about living in the World then the U.S. which is still an infant country. BTW, Generel's don't decide to just go to war with whoever they want. OH, and you're a miserable imperialistic fuck who tarnishes the name of the united states if you think you can go declare war on who ever you want for no reason.

You meaningless fucks mean nothing. Seriously, fuck you all! I wish I could do that let me tell you. Scared yet?

Redundant much? Well too bad you sick minded little baby, you won't ever be able to. (How do you even know you'll even win?) No, why the fuck would a major nation (Not Third World) be afraid of some idiot spouting off on Newgrounds? Hate to break it to yah, but you're in no way an intimidating force.

I agree! it's not like going to school is a joke! ok maybe it is! WOOHOO!!!

Amen brother. They are like "show your work" in Math and i am thinking " When will I ever have to show my work in real life?"

They teach those classes so you have a spanned education and to show you some careers that you need to have that in. You must be in eighth grade still or something, because like 3 or 4 of those classes are electives in my school.

Past mistakes help plan better FOR the future! And core subjects like History, Science, Math, etc gives the basics so students have to take SOMETHING of educational value, and helps them decide what they like.

Yeah, totally ignoring the fact Britain controlled about 1/5th of the world up till then. Sheesh.

No they make naive ignorant easily angered wankers hate Europe.

That'd be you

OMG you're naive if you believe that. Dude, we could crush your country any day. So yeah, fuck your food, fuck your stone age-like culture!

My point is still valid by that idiotic comment. And you could 'crush us' because we realised a LONG time ago that there is more than just being a nation of warmongering violence loving idiots.
Also America is about 20 times the size of Britain, so of course you could beat us militarily. Common fucking logic.
Try learning sometime.

How about both of you shut the fuck up and talk about the topic at hand here, because both of you have your valid points, yet you both still make yourselves look stupid as hell. Also, not EVERYONE in the US is "A violence loving idiot". That's like saying EVERYONE in Europe has bad teeth.

It doesn't explain anything. It's just another lame-ass reason to give a proper answer towards his topic.

Maybe when you find yourself in the presence of or a position of authority and you have to accurately explain what you're actually doing to someone above or below you.

Any place you work will have health and safety requirements, and any idiot can rip out a fire extinguisher and use it, but if an inspector starts asking you specifically about different labels and warning signs, you'd better be able to explain them.

Your lucky you even get to go to a school and get an education.

At 9/9/09 06:11 PM, Urza12 wrote: Let me start this out by saying, school is a joke But College Isnt. The reason being that the main topics you barely use in life.

Social Studies- When would you use history to solve the future?
Science- shouldnt be nessassary unless you are planning to be a science related person.
Math- Only one thats important. Checks, and such are everyday life so math is acctually important.
Music- Should be an option to join music class or not. Do we half to write music notes in real life? no.
Gym- No comment.
Art- I personally love drawing, but art should still be an option.
Why cant we pursue what we Want to learn?

You CAN, how about you get past freakin middle school before you talk about how school sucks, lets see, Gym-Is optional, Social Studies- History repeats itself, not that any of the world leaders seem to care....
Art-Also optional, Music- OPTIONALLLLLL
Oh, and have fun with the culture shock when you get done being homeschooled (lol @ homeschooling)

All the subjects are present, because it could be appealing to the human eye. Social Studies not important? Are you mad?

If we had no history, then we make the same mistakes countless times!

At 9/9/09 06:11 PM, Urza12 wrote: Social Studies- When would you use history to solve the future?

You learn the lessons history teaches so that they need not be learned again. If nobody studied history, we'd still be fighting wars like they did in the 1700's: in single-file lines with our rifles to be mowed down by a smarter adversary.

Science- shouldnt be nessassary unless you are planning to be a science related person.

Dude, science is useful shit. For instance, without science if you had hydrochloric acid tossed onto your skin, you'd be all "QUICK POUR WATER ON THE WOUND" and get your shit even more fucked up when the shit explodes everywhere. Thanks to science, you know to put a base on the wound, like baking soda or ammonia.

Math- Only one thats important. Checks, and such are everyday life so math is acctually important.

No shit it's important.

Music- Should be an option to join music class or not. Do we half to write music notes in real life? no.

Most places it is, which is a tragedy. Music is a great way for personal coping. It's a stress reliever that's yet slightly different from the stress relief offered by physical activity. Studies also suggest that education in music vastly improves problem solving and cognition during a child's development.

Gym- No comment.

Gym is vastly important. It's important to know how to work out one's body and maintain good physical health.

Art- I personally love drawing, but art should still be an option. Its not vital.

Fine motor control is pretty important.

Why cant we pursue what we Want to learn? Thats why im getting homeschooled now, and i know that kids should be taught Vital things, but the only vital thing i see here is math. Enough said.

You can pursue what you want to learn when you're on your own in University. High School is just teaching you the basics, and as it is does a terrible job of that. Instead of cutting what people incorrectly assume is 'non-vital', our school systems should be focusing on improving the education offered in every subject. Education is about offering knowledge, but more than that it's about teaching people to question the world around them so that they may educate themselves beyond the scope of what can be taught to them by others. Each subject offers a different forum for that spark of creative learning to catch fire.
