The officail "who needs school thread"

[BeerMoney]

I think the problem is that Americans view school as almost a sort of punishment. Our school systems are so authoritative and miserable at times.

We go to school and are forced to be silent for extended periods of time, vice principals are a--holes, etc..

We don't appreciate the oppurtunity to learn.. Instead we are being told "do your work.." Our entire philosophy towards school needs to be reevaluated.

In countries where not every one gets to go to public school, the ones who do certainly appreciate their oppurtunity at an education.

School, college, teacher -student relationships all should be looked upon as wonderful things. THE OPPURTUNITY TO RECEIVE AN EDUCATION IS A BLESSING NOT A CURSE.
