Suspended for 10 days......ain't this some bullshit?

Episode · March 2010

doing good in school doesnt prove how smart you are, it just proves how much of a robot you are...

You know what? I fucking like you. Lol.

So true.

Because I'm not gonna use any of this bullshit in the future. Knowing the Table Of Elements isn't essential. Algebra isn't essential. Social Studies I suppose is important to know. Music class FTW. Gym class FTL. And even in reading. My reading and language skills are at a college level. (And I'm NOT bragging) that's what the school told me when we did evaluation tests.

But like I said Erik, I'm not talking about your grades. I'm just talking about actually GOING to school.

Alec29 · March 2010

Nola, ain't nobody gonna force you to educate yourself. The world will always need under-educated people to dig ditches, wash dishes, etc. Don't do yourself any favors by getting that education cuz it's be just awful if you were successful at something.

Mike · March 2010

" yah if you dont graduate high school but i think its stupid that everyone is basically forced into college to learn shit they dont wanna learn and most likely will never use...fuck that"

So you think people should just be able to get any job they want without any formal education?

NolaFree810 · March 2010

no i want a job but most people dont use their degree. i wish i saw a statistic of people who are specifically in the profession of their degree

Mike · March 2010

That's true Nola, but you need a degree to get a job in the first place.

Alec29 · March 2010

I use BOTH of my degrees every day. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule.

Episode · March 2010

Plus. You want my grades? I'm not scared to show them. I'm passing easily. It's just a matter of being smart. And doing your work.

Math - D-
Reading - B+
Social Studies - A
Science - C
Music - A+
Gym - N/A (I've been on medical leave for over a month.)

not the exception but the minority nonetheless

Mike · March 2010

I'm not talking about your grades, that has nothing to do with our conversation.

Music will not get you very far in this world today, you can become a music teacher but being in a famous band is like 1 out of 1,000,000.

Mike · March 2010

"and then colleges throw in shit like i need to take a foreign language, wtf has that got to do with anything? its so stupid"

Obviously school was a waste of time for you. That is the most idiotic statement I've ever heard. By 2050 white people will be the minority.

Alec29 · March 2010

You get paid more money if you are bilingual. Nevermind, you've already said you don't want to be successful. My bad.

NolaFree810 · March 2010

But that's kinda contradictory Mike. Not to be a dick. But what is the point of going to school? To "learn" supposedly, and get your work done, and pass. Other than that, it's pretty much a daycare during the week. I'm getting my work done (For the most part) I'm passing.....I see no problem.

Plus, school is like a food chain when you look at it. Anything you "learn" only helps you with the harder shit in higher grades....that's it.

OPP · March 2010

Erik, serious question here. All insults aside, (and I say none of this as an attack), but are you planning on basically saying "fuck school, I don't need it to be a rockstar"?

Because I'll be honest with you... that's what I believed for a good 2 years. Riding on the impending success of being a musician. Now, I won't say it doesn't happen, because it has before. Look at Angus Young.

But anyways, if that's you're case, let me tell you: It doesn't generally work that way.
