They might teach you how to spell.

why would his college need to offer a refund? College is nothing more than a 4 to 5 year test to see if you can make it through a bigger test and have the discipline to do it. Half the classe you take you will never use and forget half the stuff you learned in the class. I guess its all to give us that "well rounded education", whatever that is.

*his* college? i was responding to you.

and if you cant make it through a reading class for which the books are at a 7th grade reading level, what does that say? you cant spell and i read those books in a PUBLIC middle school. is your college even accredited?

it is a test, in more ways that one. but when you cannot, no, you refuse to concern yourself with decent, even entertaining reading - what does that say?|

Well if you think of it that way, it makes the world a happy place!

Let's make business, Neo Geo. ---- Ta-da!

that totally reminded me about our teacher last semester which was teaching "history of contracts" during the roman's empire , basically he taught us the origins of all the basic contrats.....not the most useful subject we all agree on that but it was interesting to see how the teacher was so passionnated about his field

and first course he was like "so for all of you who gonna be notaries well taking this course will be useful...imagine someone who's comming because he wants to make a sell....first u can be like

"so sir a sell ....yes but did u know this contract is ancient and found its origins during the first roman's period blah blah....this person will think ....

this notary is damn cultured i wanna do my sell through him/her ....i want your services sir"



would be more likely "damn who's this guy-girl talking about?

Originally posted by neo geo Funny thing is i love history and can watch history channel all day long. Yeah, some core classes should be dropped and offered as electives, but then they probably never fill the classes enough to offer them. I sit up night after night reading about the study of precious metals and the chemistry of how gems are formed. When i take and interest in learning something i try to learn as much as possible about it, but when i have no interest in something i do what it takes to get by. Sorry, but that's just me.

I can understand. I've honestly learned more watching the Discovery, Science, History, Animal Planet channels, and researching on my own,
than anything ive retained from school. If there is something that you truly want to learn, in this day and age, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't teach yourself. Assuming you have the time that is. The majority of students who don't do well in school isn't because of their lack of competency, its their lack of motivation for a particular subject, mostly due to the horridly boring way of schooling. I literally shuttered each time I had to go to Accounting as my teacher was just so dreadfully boring. I have no intent of studying the subject any further.

Also, the problem with most public school systems is that were being taught the exact same thing when were 20 that we learned when we were 13. I was forced to read the Odyssey and all those books once before, why am I having to do it again? Pretty much all core classes have this dilemma which basically deem them worthless to most people. Except for the most rigorous majors and professions, where the tools in school are the only way to progress sufficiently, most of us are just waisting tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of paper, confirming that we are competent and can follow instructions in a proper manner.
