because some people are born to be dickheads. they are the ones who end up on the dole at age 25 in their mothers basement while sensible people like yourself are being a boss at life
It would be nice if that's how life actually worked. Instead, those dickheads are wading in loans while owning a better house than they deserve, working in construction and having 4 kids which they receive money for from the government.
Some of them even get enough money somehow to start a business, which doesn't always fail. They just designate all the smart work to their underlings and rake in the cash.
Meanwhile if you're smart, you have a little more security in life, but not by much. If you're motivated and become an engineer or something you can get decent pay, but still nothing compared to the dickheads who got lucky and now own businesses. If you're smart but not motivated, you're pretty much screwed(the dickheads wading in debt are screwed too, but they at least get to live it up until they declare bankruptcy).
These are just my observations from what I've seen of life.
-Whenever we read a book as the whole class together, most people could hardly read. It wasn't because they were dyslexic; I know dyslexic people, it was because they clearly weren't taught properly and had the reading age of about 5. I just read through the books on my own and finish it before the whole class gets halfway, even if the teacher throws a hissy fit at me for not going along with the class.
I feel your pain. We just got our scores back from this reading test that we did last year when I was in 8th grade, and I'm at a college reading level already.
Also, in my Spanish class, my teacher (who is from North Carolina and speaks with a southern accent) calls stem-changing verbs "stem changers." It annoys me so much.
Facedesking when people say music is their life but they listen to Lil Wayne, don't play an instrument or sing, and think that classical is for old people and nerds, and metal is "dat screamo shyt"
We have Firefox and Chrome on our school computers but our teachers make us have to use IE6. Weird...
I have some more stuff, but I don't feel like telling it.
Person:"What kind of music do you listen to?"
Me:"Mostly Metal, with some classical and electronic"
P:"really? You don't look like the kind of person that would listen to metal"
M:"What are you implying?"
P:"Well, you don't wear makeup or have any peircings, you don't ever wear black, and you're a nice person"
M:"..."
I should start saying "progressive" instead of "metal" so I don't have to deal with **** like that -.-

My Teacher got all pissed when I used Firefox in class saying to me don't use that it's not IE
Teacher pulls out Internet cable and wonders why the internet won't work.
She thinks if you save misspelled words in in MS Word than it will **** up the computer. She also never looks at the task bar, I could have stuff opened but minimized and she would never see it. I always put unblocking stuff on the computer and crap like that :tongue.gif:

She is also a skeleton.
She shouldn't be allowed to teach computers, it sounds like she needs to go to computer class.
Pretty ironic.
Just another reason to keep me up at night, thinking that my generation will run the world into the ground (theoretically, you can't ACTUALLY run the world into the ground, but you get it; Figure of speech.)

"Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly."
That's actually true if you're playing games on a game website. One of my old teachers, who is not computer-illiterate by any means, told my class that the school gets charged for the amount of bandwidth consumed each month. Internet companies are able to let households use as much as they want for free because that amount is so small compared to a medium-size school.
So, if you want to play MC, try using a portable version from your flash drive.
The school actually blocked login in so I have to play from a flash drive that I put a lot of mc stuff on. But she thinks that playing a little game will shut down the network in the whole school.
I have the same problem with my Algebra 2 class, no one ****ing tries and then complains about getting a 56% on a test when all they do in class is talk to each other never do any HW.
Anyway No one Bothers with Learning anything anymore because it's not cool I guess but dancing around waving fistfuls of cash is . . . and how do you get fistfuls of cash kids? By getting and Education and Trying!

5th Grade: We have to do a power point for a social studies project on anything from the Civil War present. I turned out to be the only one in my class that knows how to do a background image form Google. I show a kid and he takes all the claim about showing the class how to post background images.
6th Grade: I have to type up a story. I finish about in 5 minutes and play around with fonts. The teacher says that I'm slaking off and I will mess up the computer.
TL;DR
My education system and classmates don't know anything abut technology. My computer teacher has lost all hope in humanity with computers(I understand why -.-)
I facepalmed about 20 times that day.
It's not about being American, Australian, etc. It's the fact that most people our age are retards. Mostly everyone here is more mature than their peer, and may or may not have picked that up from the internet. We'll just have to tolerate it though.

Like anime? Try Visual Novels.

But really, that is what most kids do. Pretty sad actually.
If we play games at school (i.e. Minecraft) my teacher says it takes up all the bandwidth, I swear she knows nothing about computers.

I could go on all day about it. I live in a small town and I guess thats the best they could find, I should teach that class.

So they are going to flip the world inside out?
