I got kicked out of secondary school (High-School) on more than one occassion. Hated every minute of it. Ended up with Masters Degree, go figure.

I graduated high school with a 1.8 (almost failed, came down to two exams), and I graduated college with a 3.67.

I really do think High School the way it's set up like a prison is a big turn off and the kids who misbehave in class really make learning tedious. Since half the time the teacher is busy trying to control the kids behavior. I really really hated High School and pretty much stuck my nose in a book to make it through and did the bare miniumn that was required. The scary part is I still had a high GPA for doing almost nothing. Truly passing school is just doing the work not really having to think. They almost always gave busy work.
When I got to college it was so much better because it was nice being in a place where people actually wanted to learn and behaved in class. And I liked the challenge. |
