so bi-est enough said
You see, Republicans are afraid of people getting a good education, and prefer a fairly–although not exclusively–large number of poorly educated drones who jump once the fear button is punched. It helps them ram through their agendas. To be fair, Democrats aren’t helping matters by not getting behind better education with more enhusiasm.
In the end, stories like this are sad. Education is devalued enough as it is; how much more can it take?
@YNOTxTONY yes, I have talked to a 17 yr old recently, considering i just turned 19 a little over a month ago.
@LMA629 The problem is that they wouldn’t go to college. They would be unemployed and unemployable and living on welfare or sponging off their parents. Have you talked to a 17 year old recently. Most arfe idiots who don’t watch the news or ever read a newpaper. You would think they get their news online….Noooo! They don’t care.
@jaylivinlifeful Yeah, I’m the idiot….at least I can spell. Douche!
@YNOTxTONY ur an idiot. fuck you. “students should go until 20″. stupid ass how old r u 40?
havent they ever heard of terminating early over in Utah? where im from if you have all your credits you can just not come in or they leave blank spots in your schedule, but you cant take Sr classes your Jr year so you cant skip an entire year. I dont rly think colleges like early term though.
YNO, I think you are right. By senior year in Utah most seventeen year old girls have been married to their uncles for three years. As far as the Ultra right wing conservatives are concerned; they feel that the only education middle class kids should get is just enough to work in their factories. Just enough to handle boot camp when they send you off to die in one of their wars.
@trajan74 “It is true that Republicans hear “cut education” they cum. When they hear “cut the police” or the military budget they go into convulsions and seizures.” ~ That sums it up perfectly. Well said.
/shrug, the american public education system sucks…if you’ve got the credits to graduate junior year then do so. get into college and move on. for me it’s more about changing the culture than anything else. as it stands, highschool is mostly a waste of time.
im 18 (almost 19) & even i think this is a bad idea. we don’t need 17 yr olds in college
I feel that we should have an option to take a 13th year if we WANT to. Like so we can take purely electives and have a year to do what WE want, NOT what the SCHOOL/GOV’T WANTS. Of course it’d be COMPLETELY optional.
I know so many people including myself who were beyond ready to be done with HS by year 12, a few of them did too.
its really hot when ana gets pissed and shakes her head
Some people are smart enough to skip a grade, so what is the difference.
I’m with Cenk on this one. Senior year was freaking awesome. I slacked so much and managed to get straight A’s. It was basically party year.
A better idea I heard is one school district offering scholarships to high school students who can complete all their credits in three years (or within half of senior year, not sure) and with AP classes. That’s a better incentive I think.
You know? I’d love a 13th grade. I finished with 12 extra credits, but I really loved the school environment. I would have loved to stay another year just for kicks.
It depends. If you want to be a scientist,engineer,etc then you need a college degree. If you want to be a welder then its another story.You’re definitely not getting close to senior management or even middle without a bachelors and/or masters.
Cutting money on education will result in more people like Buttars getting elected.
Yeah, that’s true, but also some people aren’t mature enough to move on to collage already when they’re only 16 or 17
Actually it doesn’t sound like that bad an idea, but if you get all of you’re credits don’t you get to go to college any way no matter you’re age? I’m not sure how it works in the States but here in Canada we can do this way.
The police are not the first line of the government, it’s the schools. High schools teach nothing about finances because the teachers union is infiltrated with neo-conservatives.
The more poor at studying the people who go to colleges are the more those colleges will position themselves to exploit a predicted group of drop-outs. A school that means to fail some fails all.
i hate it when they experiment with the school body like theyre guinea pigs or something. although I have to admit all the seniors ive actually seen in school (its rare) they are usually just jacking around or coming to school to take just one class or use the gym
