Its actually whether if your responsible enough to want to work to get good grades or not. Most people are not responsible, and they don't do the work.
What about the first year of school? The first day...You had no previous experience in school, and haven't been "thought" responsibility yet. Don't you still do your work? I'd actually say this is the time when productivity is the most!

So it is the opposite, as you grow up, whether its directly the schools fault or not, most lose responsibility.

Would you mind re-explaining this in real logic, you know, the kind you learn in school?

I have nothing to do here at home except chat here in Armorgames, so I don't mind school at all, especially because I get to see my best friend EVERY DAY. Except weekends =/.

No I don't know :)

Logic is learned from living in reality. No one can teach it to you.

I moved from Texas to Washington State pretty recently, and the difference in the level of education is huge. In Texas, it almost wasn't worth going to school. The dropout rate was close to 50%...Here, however, I learn, and I enjoy the process. The teachers are engaging, the lessons challenging, and my friends add the final touch. Then again, it might just be the specific school I'm attending.

Maybe my school is the only one I think is bad eh?

But of course that doesn't explain as to why hardly anyone knows anything.

private schools aren't the answer.. well kinda, but not really.. only the rich can afford them and it makes their kids feel elitest (sp?) and they lose some social skills.. its the same way with home schooling.. sure you can keep your kids from being exposed to all the bad stuff but at what cost..

I went to private elementary and middle school and junior high. I don't feel elitist at all. My family isn't rich at all. I haven't lost any social skills.

School is a great tool for those that want to learn. Some people are fine with a Good Enough Diploma (GED) and go on to to work very successful part time jobs that barely let them scrape by. My personal opinion is that school is too easy and moves too slow. If you push the kids and stop letting them sit idle then they will be move motivated. It's easy to kick a ball once and get it to roll, but when you have to keep kicking it, then it turns into a burden. Also, if a kid doesn't want to be in school, do not make him go to school. If I had a dime for every time we had to cancel class because someone wanted to be an *** and argue with the teacher and then got wrote up and sent to the principals office then I would be a very wealthy man. Leave all the rejects at home.

Here is an interesting statistic someone told me once (I'll need to verify it though), families in the United States with incomes under 25,000 USD are more likely to send their children to private schools than families with incomes between 25,000 USD and 125,000 USD. So it's not necessary to be either rich or elitist to go to a good private school. I think the reason behind this is that poorer immigrants are likely to want to pass on their values to their children so they send them to parochial/language-specific schools or they want to keep them out of the gang-violence common in inner-city public schools. Another statistic I heard is that for lower cost private schools, they charge half of what public schools take from taxes. So it should be affordable to almost everyone.

Leave all the rejects at home.

Two words: BECCA Bill. 

It states that you have to remain in school until you are 18, and is also what makes truancy an offense, as well as several other rules which I can't remember at the moment. It was made with the best intentions, but it's a double-edged sword in that it keeps all the idiots at school.
