School, believe it or not, is mostly pointless. (Shut up and read this.)

[SlayerZ99]

Tell me SlayerZ99, if you are so good at grammar, correct this sentence as it were your own using only punctuation:

Lucy was going to the barn Friday However her uncle John ,who owned the farm ,died in a car accident Thursday.

Like that?

I am finding myself using math I don't even know how to do when programming.
I enjoy history and use it as inspiration for many stories (though most of what I write is sci-fi so obviously liberties are taken).
And obviously people are too stupid to retain english knowledge hence the majority of this forum not knowing the difference between your and you're, and the best way to learn is by practice.

In short, shut up and go to school.

How do you expect to get into college if you haven't taken any advanced math, english, social studies, or etc?
Oh, so college is stupid? You don't want a good job?
Have fun getting turned down by McDonalds for being too damn stupid

That's wrong, the sentence first part of the sentence is in past imperfective with the second part in the past perfect.

[Tom]

You can't correct it using only punctuation; there's just too much missing here.

However and but are synonyms, you don't need to change it to but to be grammatically correct. (Even though I think but sounds better) Had probably shouldn't be there because the farmer didn't die before she was going to the farm.

That's wrong, the sentence first part of the sentence is in past imperfective with the second part in the past perfect.

Also he is missing a period

[Tom]

Well he should have used a comma before however and made the "H" a non-capitol.

[Stocking]

However and but are synonyms, you don't need to change it to but to be grammatically correct.

No, they are not. However is used at the beginning of a sentence when the sentence contrasts the one before it.

e.g. Cats have four legs. However, they are not fast runners.

But is a conjunction that's used when the following thought contrasts the former.

e.g. Cats have four legs but they are not very fast runners.

Regardless, because of the fact that the perfect past tense of the second part is unclear without the imperfect period established in the first one, you should keep them together in one sentence combined with a conjunction rather than having two separate sentences.

(Even though I think but sounds better) Had probably shouldn't be there because the farmer didn't die before she was going to the farm.

It's the perfect tense, had makes the verb agree with the tense of the entire sentence.

Op is an idiot.
Also the school system in America is like the prisons.

Grade school for them is mainly prison you can relate that to.

Middle? (Secondary?) - A tad more freedom can relate this to minimum security.

Highschool - A lot more freedom can be related to white collar prisons.

College - An optional halfway house.

School may not be fun, but it's important.
This is coming from the kid that got held back.

However should be a new sentence.

[Dodger]

I was hoping you would recognize that a semicolon can be used with an interrupting phrase, and you would use a "[sic]" with ownd [sic].

Anyways, OP shouldn't even talk till he graduates school.

[.::Taboo::.]

you're a stuffty student at a stuffty school =/= all school is pointless.
even if you think that it isn't necessary, too bad, no one cares, you will need a degree to get by in a nice manner, grow a richard and deal with it.

[Stocking]

You only use [sic] when you're directly quoting somebody. There were no quotation marks in that sentence, and if it's written that way, then we don't change anything, because we're quoting a written statement so we leave it the way it is.

If he does.
