My biggest problem with High School was George Bush's "No Kid Gets Ahead" program. I remember the years before that, Teachers would punish you for laziness. You were made an example of for no homework. Then Bush came along and teachers eased up on kids.
I started failing because of that. My high school teachers could hardly give a shit about the kids. I dropped out my 3rd year of high school because I was tired of it. I think it was a horrible mistake, but I would've just continued to fail.
Nobody knew how to teach. I failed math horribly because nobody would bother to explain it in my line of thought. I need to know what something is for and why it does it. They wanted to go by their steps, and instead of learning how to do something, you were just memorizing their steps.
History was the worst class of all. I really love history, but not the way it was taught to me in history class.
I have learned more outside of school watching the History channel than I will ever learn in High School.
In the end, I am going for my GED then I am gonna work my butt of to go to a technical school.
Hopefully if I am blessed with children, the school system will be better.
