    High School is just busy work to keep you off the streets until you’re ready for a job or college.

      For real? A lot of high school subjects were pre requisites for enrolling in my degree here and it’d be quite tough to get through the degree without the foundation laid in those subjects. At the very least they’d have to extend the university course by probably a year or so.

        Yeah not seeing how you could go into any form of STEM and lesson 1 is matrix math, but you flunked math 300 and don’t know what a quadratic equation is.

        And the first thing they teach you in college is “High School was bullshit, here’s the real way to do it…”

          That’s really interesting. It must be very much dependent on where you are because my first class at uni they literally said the opposite. “Everyone who didn’t take xyz class in high school take this sheet with a bunch of extra shit you need to learn before next week. Good luck.”
