I wish I got paid for going to school.
Jazzy said:I hated high school. I was bullied and called all kinds of nasty things. Got spit on, hair pulled, shoved, punched and clothes ripped. Why? All because my dad was in the military and we lived in base housing that was a mobile home/trailer. I was a nothing. I was just plain 'trailer trash' to them.

Sorry to hear about that Jazz. Did it make you into a stronger person / build character?
That's true. Getting paid would be nice thoughNebulous said:Well I am not there to get an education. I don't learn anything, I'm just a worker.
You're getting paid in an education. Very valuable stuff right there!![]()

Now I'm in college. It's different. In the first class they give you all the deadlines and you're completely free to do it whenever you like as long as it's done in time. No more daily tests and homework that forced me to study useless crap for another 3 hours after school every day.

If you dropped out how are you in college? Do you have to pass one to move on to the next one?

Yes, secondary school is kinda middle school + high school in the US. You need a degree to go to college. Though less ideal, there are alternatives to get that degree. Some of it is kinda a home schooling system and others more a more practical approach, half working - half going to class.
I eventually got my degree using the home schooling system, because I'm good at studying for exams. I am however not good at studying a relatively small bit of useless crap daily.
