I am so goddamn sick and tired of the need to punish people in our culture.

35. I didn't learn much in school

Most that I do remember is a teacher clearly going against the wishes of the administrators to tell us the founding fathers were slave owners and the myths of Columbus and the indigenous populations and Thanksgiving. This was my 6th grade Social Studies teachers and even remember the frustrations coming into class. She didn't like the idea of tests or felt differently on learning, can't remember the actual reason but it went from no tests to she let us make up our own tests. Ask our own questions and answer the questions from the textbook but some may think this is a horrible idea you certainly are learning hunting for a question to ask yourself.

My 8th grade social studies teacher -- the only thing I remember was bring a pencil to class or detention. I remember his name to, a notorious hard ass. I fell behind in credits from switching schools where the credits didn't follow or apparently stay with the school I switched back to (someone screwed up, could be lazy mom -- don't know, don't matter as summer schools would require to graduate so I went to Tempe High with the year-round schooling which made it possible and LOVED this model, the breaks in between but waking up early to ride a bus several miles and back with all the homework they give I dropped out and got my GED right away -- passed in the top 60-70%. Life was so much better, work and everything. It wasn't until I joined the military the high school shit came back, I always preferred adults. My friends after school were 17-25 when I was 14-15+.

Anyway, I did attend Community College and let me tell the classes were more interesting, engaging, informative, and believe it or not easier.

I remember well the introduction from our Economics course instructor that is simply on education and the part I remember well on learning that when you learn something and it fade, you know where to look to get back what was gained which is so true. Working jobs performing tasks that you only had to be told once or twice how to do and get paid was so much easier than school, not to mention the high school shit.
