I have Thanksgiving break starting Wednesday, but before I can get to that I have to go through a barrage of tests tomorrow. Trig, Physics, Spanish (4th level), College history, and English (potentially). So since 6:40 I've been working on hw, this being my first real break - I ate dinner while working on identities, and I haven't even started my Physics study which will take at least an hour, so altogether some 4-5 hours, plus 1.5 hour tomorrow before school and in commons of hw. This begs the question - is school for fools!?

Start your own business, thats how you make money. And you dont even need an education for that. You just have to hire ppl like yourself who have spent years in mental anguish to be your puppets.

For anybody else that obviously isn't getting it, I do not think school is anything but worthwhile, but am a little irked by the amount of work my teachers decided to pound me with at one time - I love how they organize.

Lies all lies. I had a buisness, and I think that employees are the biggest freeloading douchbags around. If there is somthing to steal, they will. If you lead with a light hand and give them freedom to create, they will slack off and do nothing. If you lead with a heavy hand they bitch about not having autonomy. I fired all my employees last year before x-mas and told them to screw themselves. You have to take into account I busted employees doing coke, meth, being drunk, and reeking like pot while talking to customers. Now I am out of buisness and back in school getting an education. Its way worth it. Your peer group will be a little higher on the develoment side of things.

Dude, school is nothing. In the penultimate week of term once last year i had to work 9-1 for 5 days solid, just to get tutorial questions done. Thats 9am to 1am.

"You don't learn anything in school. It's just a waste of time. You lug around books and all and do homework. They give too much homework. You shouldn't be doing homework. Nobody's interested in it. The teachers are stupid. They shouldn't have any women in there. They don't know how to teach. And they shouldn't make anyone go to school. You don't want to go, you don't go, that's all. It's ridiculous. I don't remember one thing I learned in school. I don't listen to weakies. My two and a half years in Erasmus High I wasted. I didn't like the whole thing. You have to mix with all those stupid kids. The teachers are even stupider than the kids. They talk down to the kids. Half of them are crazy. If they'd have let me, I would have quit before I was sixteen." -- Bobby Fischer
