[thegoodperry]

i sure hope these kids are actually reasonably and genuinely fighting for a better change

i hope they arent just traumatized kids who have hate boners for guns because they were involved in a shooting, and because of that now believe that they are experts on gun control laws

whats her cuban face seems to always be screaming and looking angry to get her point across. i hope she knows thats not how you change people

emma gonzales lol. i have respect for her because speaking out against political figures is actually extremely dangerous and its a pretty good feat for a high school senior to blow up like that and have the guts to continue while being sent thousands of death threats.

honestly if i was caught in an actual shooting the only two thoughts that would go through my head are "damn i wish i had a gun on me so i could fight back" and "damn i wish someone else had a gun on them so they could fight back"

banning autism would effectively end school shootings

hey kids would you like to miss out on crucial knowledge and intellectual nurturing just to yell at people about how bad guns are?

like there's actually anything to learn anymore. I graduated in '15 and let me tell you how loving ass backwards the school systems are right now.

We're learning about things that aren't even relevant to our society anymore. People are taking tests that dictate what kind of future you might have as apposed to the future you want. Children are blowing their brains out because of the enormous amounts of irrelevant paperwork thrown at them. We're not learning the important stuff like: interest rates, banking, mortgage, effective budget planning and spending, taxes, bills etc. Instead of learning how to effectively be successful and live your life, we're learning about how Henry the 8th was a loving looser who couldn't get a baby boy so he decided to murder two of his wives.

My Junior year in high school, I was forced to take a remedial class for college algebra. I had 46/50 necessary credits to graduate and my counselor told me if I could take this remedial class and pass it, I would be eligible to graduate and walk early with the seniors. The only reason i was placed in this class was because of a work program and a huge miscommunication from my administrators and the executive of this work program. tl:dr I effectively skipped the last crucial class of my sophomore year. College algebra is a joke so I went in to this class thinking it was going to be piss easy. Dead wrong.

The class was all online. There were strict rules and regulations about bringing in notes or discussing modules with other students. There were no tutors to help you in class or on campus. The UI was buggy and unresponsive - looked like something that was windows 98 era. If a question asked me whats' 1.10+2.00 and i answered 3.1 it would count me wrong because i left out the extra 0's despite the 0's still being there... (the zero's aren't significant enough to the question to warrant them being written).

Anyway, the remedial course was ass and it's no wonder so many people couldn't pass the class. You know something's wrong when the actual college algebra class is cake compared to the infernal hell of the remedial. "Ohh its just harder to push students to get better!" Yeah, or kill themselves.

There's a lot forgeted up with the school systems right now. Thankfully college is a lot different and i'm finding actual success in college within 2 years compared to the 16 loving years i wasted in public schools.

Modern kids won't be able to find success in today's society without learning from their parents. The things i was taught by my father should be taught in schools. It's a shame that its this way today. But hey, at least they can recite the quadratic formula from memory :^)

i think the main point is that as liberal as colleges are they dont really care if you skipped school to debate gun violence (unless they're like like a political study school or some stuff) and staying in school basically guarantees your entry to college and your ability to succeed in life. skipping school to protest gun violence is cool and all but you're still skipping school... an overwhelming number of gun violence perpetrators are high school dropouts or people who didn't make it into college...

nobody learns jack stuff in high school. but your future still hinges on it, so that's all that matters. even the stuck ups who think they're smart enough to skip school are the ones that end up with no future

it takes some major first world privilege to not realize what state your brain would be in if you did nothing but play video games all the way up to age 18 lol

there are people who play video games all the way up to age 30

Probably learning practical skills. My father does electrical and woodwork and my mother works as claims processor. Both of them were homeschooled. I could have been homeschooled and turned out just as successful as they are.

this is a result of the classic mistake of letting handicapped millenials or people with degrees in the soft sciences program your stuff instead of mathematicians. they were given participation trophies early in life which led to them doing stupid stuff like writing programs that evaluate answers as strings. sad! that's what's really wrong with the school system, we're so obsessed with "no child left behind" that teachers are scared to fail dumbasses

So basically you'd be dumb as stuff but you'd build a mean birdhouse

I don't see anything wrong with this, you're a human with a culture and a history. If we raised a generation to be ignorant of the past, we'd end up with a bunch of little Henry the 8ths running around killing their wives. I know it's not immediately useful information but it still valuable.
