Sitting in my algebra class, doing my homework every night, I realized that there is a lot of busy work involved in this teacher's curriculum. I don't like busy work and I don't like wasting my time. I don't like the fact that teachers were giving me work just so they could put grades in books. So I basically decided not to do my work and copy it. Why not? I listen in class and I understand the stuff, so for all of second semester I never did one assignment, and passed with a happy A. This was fantastic. That summer I took Biology. Copying homework was one t

This year I am so lucky to have a teacher that knows nothing about what he is teaching. There was not one A in his class this last semester, and he has just finished grading the first page of a three page test and told the class that just from the results of grading this first page no one will be able to get even a B on the test. I ask myself what this idiot is thinking. Maybe he is not teaching the students the material. Incompetence is an issue when it comes to teachers. Who can teach and who cant. It is too late to change anything now, but out of 26 kids in this class 17 had D's and F's on the semester report card. I don't think anyone else realizes it but he doesn't know the material himself. When questions are asked, he tells the students to wait till tomorrow so he can ask another teacher how to do the problem. The idea behind school is to have someone so advanced in a subject, that he could share his knowledge with others and teach them. Many teachers break this philosophy. An evaluation system for teachers should be made. One that not only analyzes a teacher's performance during a single day, but maybe a five-week period. An official cannot evaluate how a teacher is teaching by visiting for one day, this is the current system I see being practiced. An official must see how his interaction with students are, his clarity in explaining material, and his style of teaching the material. What really matters, above all, is if the students learn the material, and only they can tell you that first hand.

In my sophomore year, I was transformed into a new person. I had seen it all. People talking there way up from grades, every cheating technique, and I even created a schedule where I would copy each homework assignment the class before. I never did a thing. The truth had hit me. My grades and everyone else's didn't represent what they knew. Who cares about European socialism? "I am not European, and I am not very social" Ferris Bueller. School had become a daycare center. With all my free time I watched plenty of TV, and read more then enough psychology books. During sophomore year, school did teach me something. I was soon able to associate with everyone and talk to them to get what I wanted. I first learned how to make people laugh, even at themselves. Humor was the key to getting people on your side. With that I learned how to piss people off, the reverse of making them laugh. Then, how to make them think, and how to make them feel. I basically learned how to manipulate people and those of you who know me wouldn't understand it or realize it because that's the whole point, your not supposed to know. I will never forget an experience I had. My IAT teacher gave a worksheet and I had no resources (people), to do it for me. I went up to a random AP calculus student. He happened to be Asian. He did not know a lot of English but his math was excellent. I talked to this perfect stranger for about 3 min. There were about 15 problems on this page. I gave him the paper, and it was long busy calculating work. In 3 min, there were 7 people from that class working on this one worksheet. I will not lie; they did it in 5 min. I copied their work got my A. The test came, I got a C, I was a happy guy. I knew then that school was not a complete waste of time. If you look beneath the classrooms and the students, you can see that there are three types of people.

If you do all your work, study, make sure everything is perfect, get A's on all tests, this taking you many hours, and still having time for band or other school activities, you may be smart but probably lack personality. People skills are a key element for the real world, which is where most students hope to end up. So I think that without these skills your knowledge will get you nowhere. If you do no work in school, smoke weed all day, and don't even care about your classes you will probably also end up nowhere. If you try to get A's and try to get all y
