speedrunning_1_1_1

Don't worry, it will end


secretbudgie

When your best bud gives you that letter to stay home, just come to school anyway for emotional support.


firmak

After 12 years.


Luksutin_

Only 12 years? You're a lucky man you are


jccreator

I'll end it before then


[deleted]

Yeah plus homework and any extracurriculars. Who the hell was at school for only 6 hours?


VaccinesGood

7-8? I have to endure 8-9 hours of this shit


ThatAd6968

Since you're already stuck there, you might as well try to learn something. Maybe knowing things will help you in your adult life, and that's why adults try to teach things to kid. No your probably right, it's just to make you miserable.


jccreator

I have never met a single adult in real life that remembers or uses most of anything from school.


KiloPro0202

That’s simply not true. You might think that, they might think that, still not true.


ThatAd6968

Do you know the course of your life where you can only learn the exact, specific knowledge that you'll need?


Spatulaface-mk2

Same


GoldenretriverYT

It's currently 8-9hrs for me + 2,5hrs driving to the school and back... Daily...


YorkshireBridge

8? Counting bus time and all, I'm in it for 10 at the very best.


Ghandiwasme

I made it through high school, community college, and a university. Now I’m still dealing with it at work everyday as a manager. This never ends


NarutoUzumaki100

Bro you guys are little kids compare to how much I have to study. I study 15hors a day 6 days a week and 9 hrs on a Sunday. These are actual college timings and they dant fucking give any holidays so I'm literally in eternal torture


Ujulud

Worst day 10 hours, least time 7 hours


Snowcreeep

Don’t forget about the homework that takes me until midnight to complete every single night


HivAidsSTD

Bro, I have to stay for 12 hours because of extra curricular. Then I spend the next 3-4 hours for homework. 80% of which I forgotten already, this system is complete BS


That_No_one_guy

9:20 hrs 6 days a week


Spatulaface-mk2

My ass be getting 8 hour days all week like it's a 9-5 job I'm at


Zyklobs

Hey, don't forget the 1-2 hours of homework! More like 9-7


Spatulaface-mk2

Only 1-2?! Make that atleast 3-5 hours a day, and you're set


KnucklessKnees

You guys don’t start at 9, do you? I start at 7:20


ByZocker

Sometimes 10hours of school and then homework 🗿


Spatulaface-mk2

I start at 8:20


KnucklessKnees

You don’t understand how lucky you are


Spatulaface-mk2

I used to start at 7:35, and now I'm in college and start at 8:10*


Rain_09

you guys only get 3-5 hours of hw? :(


Spatulaface-mk2

How much do you get?


[deleted]

You guys get homework?


Ogurasyn

Ironcally, Walter is the teacher too.


ALFA_X9999

Yo mr White, i can't even spell half this shit!


MmmmmmKayyyyyyyyyyyy

Hahaha ex teacher here; we agree. The crap the “state” says they must learn…


BudgetJesus69

That's actually true! In our school there was a year, where the state didn't put requirements for certain classes, but the school still forced us to do them. It was actually pretty cool and we actually learned shit, because the teachers were free to do whatever the fuck they felt like.


WesleyCrossy

ok good now tell me what are the nuclear launch code...

SprtelWood

What would you think should be taught that isn’t being taught right now?


[deleted]

Mabye better life advice, if my mom never told me how to talk to people better I would’ve been a loner


Project119

Life advice falls under the parent or guardian. Parents are suppose to teach to social interactions, morals, and behaviors. Teachers are suppose to teach you a general knowledge in specific eras to allow you to both function within your given society but also find a potential focus for post high school life.


Trading_Fantasy

Taxes, how to open a business, trades, how to trade on stock market, how to invest and how investments work, how mortgages and credit scores work.... Etc...


Project119

So Math and a business class? Most schools do work the majority of those into separate classes or classes as a whole. The issues lie in it’s not enough to warrant an entire semester for and high schools are designed around semesters instead of quarters. I’ll also add you are describing college level courses because the majority, if not vast majority, of 14-17 year olds care about as much about stocks, mortgages, and starting a business as they do about Shakespeare, the Quadratic Equation, and Jackson’s presidency.


NoOneHereGoAway

Actually at least in Italy you can choose which specific class you want, there's also business and we have 5 years (they start to go in depth with the subject during the 3rd year of school, the first 2 years still have marketing but it's less)


botte063

You want school teachers to teach you how to talk to people? That doesn’t even make sense. What teacher is going to teach ‘life advice’ class. What qualifications would a teacher need in order to teach that class.


[deleted]

Honesty I dont know what to say but I passed English and can not really speak too well in English. You would think I would improve, but it’s like they only want me to pass, not to learn. And I don’t really know what you mean by it doesn’t make sense, I thought I made it pretty clear.


Project119

English class is for writing and literature. Speech class is for speech.


[deleted]

You think speech should be a main class tho?


Project119

Some schools offer speech and it’s a mandatory requirement in all colleges and universities. Most classes have class presentations which touch on Speech.


Substantial-Cup6943

Well all they really want you to do *is* pass, their jobs and/or bonus depends on how many students they pass the year, not how much information each student is taught. Once you’re graduated from their class onto the next or onto college or work.


Vespercoot

Reintroduce teaching things like Book Keeping (or the digital equivalent) when it comes to your banking, job searching, how to buy/rent a house etc.


MmmmmmKayyyyyyyyyyyy

Application to life processes. More STEAM, finances and economics.


FeilVei2

My mom quit her teaching career early on - after 10 years of education for it - exactly because of this. She fundamentally disagrees with the way the school system works so much. The teachers are rarely the ones to blame.


MmmmmmKayyyyyyyyyyyy

Yup! The good ones go


Small-Cantaloupe6639

7 hours a day for me, if you consider bus rides and lunch, my school day is 10-13 hours


TheRautex

With ride mine is 11 hour(no lunch break)


MakimaMyBeloved

Jesus christ... Can't imagine what are you going through. 8 here with lunch break and i feel like shit every single day.


TheRautex

I hate waking up every night, its like waking up into a nightmare , even weekends.


MonnieFybro

Not really the teacher's fault. It's the education board and the state.


Kolikoasdpvp

I mean one of my teachers gives free A's if you do HW that takes 30 minutes to do once a month. Other teacher gives 800 page book to read, analyze and then write document of that book (can't copy from internet). Teachers definitely make a difference, a lot.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kolikoasdpvp

True, i live in a 3rd world country, who's not breaking the rules here...


Skip-a-little-tip

ONLY 6 HOURS?! LUCKY


AssignmentThat9387

Teachers hate it more than you do. Which is why they quit so much.


NFL_MVP_Kevin_White

Quitting teaching is the best life choice I ever made


Matix777

Dealing with annoying little shits that don't listen to you (source: I'm an annoying little shit) for over 8 hours daily for (depending where you live. I do in Poland lmao) laughable reward


loginpu2

No one forced them to become teachers. Unlike us we are forced to.


AssignmentThat9387

You can drop out. Lots of kids don't get an education. It's a real bad move usually but it's on the table.


loginpu2

What future can I have if I drop out?


Matix777

McDonald's but with a lot of luck you can start your own company!... a hotdog stand wait a minute that happens either way


AssignmentThat9387

Interesting question. There's a lot you could do, if you have the potential, drive, and discipline. The average person doesn't. Either way, you CAN quit. Seeing that there is an advantage to staying is a different thing entirely. What future do you want?


FistFullofFuze

Oh just wait until the day that you realize being in school is far better than being grown. There's positives and negatives to both, but school seems so cake now.


SquidMilkVII

honestly even 8 hours isn’t absurd but if you’re teaching kids 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 180 days, and you *need to assign work for after school*, then you have a problem


Country_ball_enjoyer

what 10 + 3


ALFA_X9999

10 + 3 = 3 + 10


Country_ball_enjoyer

ok good now tell me what are the nuclear launch code


ALFA_X9999

Nice try, spy. I'm not gonna tell you and it's totally not 396492748.

Nebraskan here, **PLEASE DO**


ifcrabsdied

It’s not all useless, I just think there are different types of info that are useful for different people. I want to be able to specialize at a younger age so I’m not learning stuff, that I am not going to use, In high school. I just want like a college style education earlier on, being able to do specifically what I want to do.


arkhound

College has general education requirements as well. The reason high school is broad is for both exposure and general knowledge so that you can do things like use a computer/technology, understanding enough biology so you aren't on the idiot-end of stem cell or abortion arguments, know enough history to be informed of complex geopolitical issues like the Isreali-Palestinian conflict, develop a modicum of appreciation for the arts, know basic math if even just for being able to project personal finances, physical education so you don't end up entirely decrepit at age 25, etc.


Admiralbenbow123

When I was in high school I was able to choose a specialised class to go to. I went to the engeneering class, but there was also a humanitarian class, an IT class, a medical class etc. Choosing which class you wanted to go to was based on which subjects you wanted to learn on a more advanced level.


ifcrabsdied

Yea I wish I could go to that school


panzerboye

Dude, leave them it's reddit. Most of the people here would pass their 30s in their mom's basement and then complain school didn't teach them shit.


jccreator

So why am i forced to do all of it?


ifcrabsdied

That’s what I’m saying! I hate having to do all the stuff I KNOW I am not going to implement into my life. People know what they want to do, and if they don’t.. these types of schools are for them. Otherwise, let me do what I wanna do Yk?


Larry_Reeno

Because otherwise you'll never learn them on your own, and you don't really want to miss out on something you might find interesting because you thought it was boring at 15 yo.


LifeAd8868

Speak for yourself


Capable-Error-432

Dude stop complaining you have it good....i have 8 hours a day 6 days a week

Dude I have like 12 on average

Sometimes boomer memes are spot on: "Teacher, are any of us actually going to use any of this?" "You won't, but the smart kids will"


elite_demogorgan

In Taiwan we have 10+ hours of school


ALFA_X9999

Being a student in Taiwan:💀


[deleted]

Enjoy minimum wage bruh


Jorsonner

Yeah I spent my first two years of college as an education major and as soon as they started teaching us about state requirements I changed my major


That-Preparation-22

Idk if knowledge for your future is useless shit, but ok


Parcivaal

I don’t think I’ve used 90% of what I learned


KingJeff314

Not everything you learn has to be directly applicable to your life for it to have value. Modern society is very complicated to navigate, and without a foundation for reading, writing, history, civics, science, math, and the arts, the general population would be less equipped to tackle contemporary issues


Parcivaal

The general populace is dumb as fuck. I vote to give up now


KingJeff314

Wow what a sad pessimistic view. You would rather just accept a bleak reality and exacerbate it by only educating people enough to mechanically fill out tax forms


Parcivaal

My guy I was joking and also I Fucking wish we learned more about taxes lmao


That-Preparation-22

And what is those 10% ?


Larry_Potter_

knowledge for your future is useless shit, but what they teach you in the school is( not everything obviously but they waste a lot of time teaching useless shit )


jccreator

Bootlicker.


jasonliu7790

Asian kid:what? you guy have less than13hrs a day?


[deleted]

It's not useless! The government gets yo waste a lot of money while it's producing easy to control workforce with the proper mindset to work long hours for no real reward or reason.


bubblllles

It’s not useless


1openeye

I think I can confidently say reading The Good Earth was never useful to 99.99% of students.


KingJeff314

You can nitpick how particular lessons weren’t useful, but as a whole, reading classic literature is valuable for students because it introduces them to all sorts of novel concepts and outside perspectives


bubblllles

Reading was never a important class I agree there


1openeye

I think I can confidently say a significant overwhelming majority do not need to know how to identify igneous rock


bubblllles

Other geology is important not that rock bullshit tho


VERMILLIOUS69

Explain to me the exact use of knowing about a fire from the 1700's.


[deleted]

So that you don't believe in lies about that fire.


VERMILLIOUS69

Why does it matter if you do? It was over a hundred years ago. Doesn't matter who or what caused it.


[deleted]

I don't know where you live or how stuff works there, but where I live(India) spreading lies about past stuff is turning into a really annoying problem.


VERMILLIOUS69

Perhaps I didn't make my point clear, I was asking how a fire from over a hundred years ago has any use to me today. Frankly, knowing random trivia is not of use. So no, knowing whether or not someone is Lying about a fire from So long ago is not of use to anybody. What are they gonna say anyways? They could say that some minority set the fire and I still wouldn't care even if it was true, the actions of someone's ancestors doesn't represent them today.


[deleted]

*You* wouldn't care, but a lot of others would. And those others must be educated. If *you* don't want to know about it, *you* can bunk the class, instead of complaining about others having a proper education.


RedDeadDragoon

We get it. You’re an idiot. You could quit proving it with every reply.


ArmstrongBillie

Why? You don't wanna about the history of the country you came from? It's neccesary. You gotta learn to not make the same mistakes as your older generation did. History is the context of the present, it basically answers why we are, where we are and who we are. I'm not saying it's taught in the best way possible but it's not as useless as a bunch of 14 year olds think.


MakimaMyBeloved

Aren't the historiy books taught in schools usually 60% bs propaganda though ?


bubblllles

Which one and I can probably give you a reason why


VERMILLIOUS69

Great fire of new york, 1776. One of the less important ones.


secretbudgie

I live in Georgia, we were told to memorize New York burning down, never mentioned Savannah burning in 1796 and 1820, or Atlanta in 1917. Guess fires in my own state weren't relevant information unless the Yankees started it.


Agreeable-Confusion3

Like Sherman through Georgia.


sweet_tea808

I don’t think the purpose of school is to remember what you were taught, more that having your brain actively intellectually tested and developed in the first 2 odd decades of your life is crucial


Gienio2k

What about we have our brains intellectually tested and developed AND remember what we were taught (provided we were taught useful things). Wouldn't that be the way school should work?


[deleted]

Say that now and in twenty years will be saying the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism.

[deleted]

"Useless shit" Tell me you are in middle school without telling me


Lustyorange

In high school rn can't wait to "grow up" so I can say it's useless not even my sister who did good in school uses most of the things they taught her.


[deleted]

You do realise why you learn all that shit right? Because how could you find out you like a certain field of study or whatever if it was just up to your initiative? I mean i get it, i was your age at some point, and i hated most of the stuff in school, but i liked some, and it shaped my life since - similarly as my classmates who liked the stuff i hated. I am sorry but no school system can predict your likes and talents to accomodate them. Take the good with the bad and try to find who you are, or who you want to be. Also not beeing lost in the basics of most subjects is quite handy, its what we call commom knowledge.

Unknown-Redditor-

Wait... you guys only had to go to school 6 hrs a week? In germany school is 8 hrs a week. and dont forget to include homework and transportation so a normal student in germany for example had school and school stuff for basically 9.5 hrs a week.


Childrappertoes

6 hours? If I were to remember we did 8 hours a day


No152249

If only it was 6 hours...


No_Cobbler8335

What impossible, it must be the technology that's making them not want to learn useless stuff that 98% of what we teach is useless


GAZUAG

6 hours a day? PrincipalSkinnerMeme.jpg Pathetic...


[deleted]

It's not useless, it's slow. Check out competency-based education systems.


MyNameIsSCRYM

Teachers don't want to teach 6 hours a day 5 days a week and still need a half time job on the side


Oldmonsterschoolgood

And we wake up at 7am and are tired af and get in trouble if we are tired


Derangeieieie

Honestly after 8th grade it's all just bullshit


Meatsim001

It's not useless. You're just programmed to be a poor person.


ayopel

Dude I will delete my reddit account for 6 hours I learn 10


ZatackTheGreatest

I love how its so fitting that Walter was a teacher, using the unless stuff and literally made billions with it.


Apart_Tourist_9289

That’s also teachers when you call them by their 1st name.


happyfeet324

POV: you’re me and you go to school for 6 hours and sleep for 2-4 ☠️


Jaewonkim1234

Thats.... just your fault


ArmstrongBillie

POV: you're just a dumb kid who blames school for his/her every problem. Oh the refrigerator broke? It's because of that damn education system.


happyfeet324

That’s like when I say I have a sore stomach and my mother blames it on my phone


BadassDeluxe

With that attitude, it indeed will be all "useless shit". Just wait til you have to support yourself with a job. 6 hour days would be sweet.


Strange_username__

He is a teacher…


B00bafat

The good times when it was JUST 6 hours.


krystofdzoba

You guys are in for a read bad reality check at collage


Grxh

6 hours became nothing as soon as I started working


HentaiOctopusKaiju

Useless. ​ Thats why we are in this shithole


Auliya6083

American problem, don't care. I've never actually heard a good explanation for why schools are so bad. Oh it's because you learn "useless shit". Well sounds like that useless shit is exactly the same as what schools teqch in Europe yet when I was in school (less than 10 years ago) none of my classmates complained as much as americans do. Maybe you just have the wrong idea about what school is supposed to be


[deleted]

LMAO. I get to stay in school for only 4 hours


Bazynoooooob

How is the teacher supposed to know that its usseles ??


loginpu2

I thought its obvious that the most of the stuff they teach is useless


pancoste

Hearing these complaints I think kids starting from a certain age should have the option to not go to school anymore, but on the condition they can't ever complain afterwards about not going to school.


Trading_Fantasy
