Rant of the week

[jimnyc]

We scheduled for next years classes today. They changed a lot of stuff, now you don't get to pick between regular, honors, and AP classes the consolers do that by looking at your grades and test scores. You don't get a choice. The assholes have me slotted for honors English 4 instead of regular. I find this very annoying because English isn't one of my better subjects. I made A's in the classes two years in a role only because the classes were easy. They are gona go and cause me way more work to keep my all A's and B's with this crap next year. What bull. I wouldn’t have done so well on those standardized tests if I knew they were going to do this to me for it.

I understand where you're coming from, to an extent. When I got out of HS and went to my first college in NJ, they wouldn't allow me to take the computer science courses I applied for. I feel since I'm paying, I should have the right to go to the courses I choose. If I fail, it's my own damn fault. Then again, they're the educational system and likely know more about what's best for our future education than us. I'm sure they have the students best interest in mind when deciding the proper avenue for courses.

Or just do what I do, leave college and enter a school that gears their courses directly at your field of study. I went to Cittone institute after my first college to get a direct education in computers so that I could start making the dough quicker! Unfortunately, the system knew best, and I ended up going to St. Johns a few years later!

Except Cocky, thanks man but the extra work would really suck.

I'll clue ya in on something LN, the better your English skills, the more money you'll be able to earn. These days, everything boils down to good communication skills, and the written word has regained the lead as the most important of these.

And as much as it may suck right now, the rewards will be nice in the long term.

well LN based on what all you have said on here I would not hire you for a job because your a slakard. Your not willing to apply yourself to your full potential. But as you get older that may change.

[LiberalNation]

I am willing to apply myself to my full potential in things that interest me. A bunch of English homework isn't one of those things. Just something I "have" to do to get through high school. Why not want it to be as painless as possible.

I already take honors history and science classes and have throughout high school. I don’t need anymore. I have to work my butt off taking them.

[MtnBiker]

How is she a slacker?

[MtnBiker]

I wish I had studied english more thoroughly in school. I am constantly checking my grammar. It is just my belief that using correct grammar will attribute more creditablity to myself.
