tell me why you think we have to go to school!

We go to school to learn, to be intelligent people. Sure socializing is fun and great for social sciences, but you are there to learn the many different subjects. And possibly move on to higher education, and maybe get a job using some specialized field. Come on, its not rocket science, or is it. Do you think it would be better if we went back to the 1800's model, crap whole literacy rate, ignorant unaccepting people. I mean I could list reasons all day.

School is work.\n\nYou have to set aside chunks of time for it, require yourself to perform the tasks, and let nothing get in the way of it.

well i like to dress up for school...idk..its fun to pick out an outfit for school, it makes you feel more confident if you know you look good("look good, feel good")  and plus, its better than rolling out of bed and throwing on sweats...dress for success =]

You do not have to attend that school. If you get into the school you want, notify them (the old school) that you will not be attending ASAP so they can award that money, housing, etc. to someone else. Then begin the package and schedule with the new school. :)

I believe that someday colleges and universities in the US will be able to provide free education...but not yet. I look forward to the day though.\n\nRe your question: When you say "Doesn't IT state that everyone is entitiled to a free education"....what is the IT you are referring to?? I don't think I have read that anywhere....and I read quite a bit.\n\nRegarding the war: I agree. Too long. Too much. Too little exit strategy. \n\nBut, let me ask you this: Is there EVER an obligation for a stronger nation to help out the people of another nation when those people get gassed and murdered? \n\nI happen to think that with strength comes obligation...ie, if a big guy sees an old lady's purse get snatched...and the big guy can stop the bad guy...isn't it his OBLIGATION to do so??? Did we have that OBLIGATION in Iraq??? Maybe, maybe not. Do we have that obligation in Darfur? Probably. Did we have that obligation in World War II to stop the Nazis? I think so.\n\nDebt is rising because we are funding an incredibly expensive war. Think what that money could do here in the US for education. But, lets say we achieve peace and stability in Iraq and in the Middle East....what is that worth? Zero? It is worth something....I just don't know what.\n\nClinton was charming....he was a proponent of some good domestic policies...but, his foreign relations and actions were bad. Really bad. That will not be what he is remembered for. \n\nI don't think Bush is smart. However, to say Clinton wasn't "out playing on a ranch or golfing while our country needed him..." is not fair. It would be like someone saying "...clinton was getting blown and playing with cigars while our country needed him." \n\nRemember, right now school money comes from taxes. When the economy slows, people make less $$...and therefore the government's income goes down. But, the schools' demands for money don't go down. The answer? Well, we could raise taxes, or we could try to get the economy going. Or, we could cut school spending. \n\nLots of issues....difficult choices....

It sounds like you will not be successful in college until you have motivation.  While generally it is best to keep your education continuous, some people going back later works better for them.  If you are not going to college it would be a good idea to find a job where you will learn some skills, such as a trade.\n\nWhile it may seem hard to find the time to go to school now, it will likely get more difficult as you get older and have more responsibilities.  I completely understand that you might not have the time to go full-time, but given the schools with flexible schedules, you can find time for a class or two a semester.

To do anything in life, you need to be pushed. Period.\nThink about it. \n\nWhat makes you want to eat?\nA. Your hungry.\n\nWhat makes you want to brush your teeth?\nA. You don't want your breath to stink, makes them feel cleaner, your parents tell you to do it, etc.\n\nWhat makes you workout?\nA. You want to be healthy, and you want to look very good for people.\n\nSo the question is.\n\nWhat makes you do good in school?\nA. The answer is, you need something to push you, whether that be from a person, push in the form of motivation, or otherwise.\n\nSo, I suggest you take the time to think about what will happen if you fail.\n\nAllow me to help motivate you.\n\nI almost failed school. Do you have any idea what woulda happened if I did? MY WHOLE FAMILY WOULD BE DISSAPOINTED. There would be no graduation, which I'm betting alot of your family is looking forward to. If you don't pass, you are stuck in stupid school for ANOTHER WHOLE YEAR, SAME OLD STUPID KIDS, STUPID TEACHERS, STUPID SUBJECTS AND POINTLESS HOMEWORK, trust me, I've been there. DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO TO PASS. It will hurt, yes, doing all that pointless studying, I know. But what happens if you don't graduate? What if that happens? Imagine that. I did. You know what conclusion I came to. I have to graduate. I cannot fail. I CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!

I hope have a pretty darn good reason to be avoiding school for 3 weeks.  Making yourself sick is not worth it.  I mean, why put yourself through misery?  If you really don't want to go to school, just don't go.  However, I highly suggest that you do attend school as 3 weeks is a big chunk out of the school year.  Do you really want to flunk because of some dumb reason?

First of all, way to go.  I'm a single parent of two and in school and I know how hard it is.  I find that time management is the most important as well as reading the material every chance you get.  I have a straight A average because I use the school's writing lab for all of my papers as well as having my friends read them and give me critical feedback.  This helps me get better grades and I make sure to always keep my eye on the goal.

maybe you should take your education into your own hands. Go to the library after school and learn what YOU want to be learning! I HATED blocked scheduling btw (90 min classes)

maybe you should stay in school

You really do need to do some homework---quick, fast, and in a hurry.  You are the prime example of why the American education system is failing our kids.

Education is mandatory in the U.S. Not sending a child to school constitutes abuse. Your dad might lose custody of you and your sister.

I personally didn't go yet. I wasn't ready yet, but most likely going in September. I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life first.Did you go? And if so why did you go to college?

Well, dificult one, but i believe that if you are not in a hurry to finish school - like you really need to work for suport or something, and you have the oportunity to take a break, then do it.\nAfter you start working, maybe get married, and have kids, you will regret that you didn't take the time for your own. And school is not going anywhere, those subjects are waiting for you there to take it later.\nRemember that Human Beings needs to restore forces and give their minds the break, so we can be more productive.
