Fuck, they loose their youth to this shit!
I had school 8am to 2pm and hardly ever did my homework (min-maxing it by copying, doing it selectively, testing which teachers are strict about it etc., also switched to a bi-phasic sleep pattern to cope with 8am as a night-owl).
It left just enough time to keep making music, learning to program, doing some photography, dabbling in public relations for a non-profit and of course some partying on the weekend. Once I was old enough to write my own sick-notes I would go for walks in woods instead of a double lesson of math etc.
Now that I spell it out, that's a lot, but that's the amount of life experience these kids loose.
And it's not just about temporary fun. It set me up for the further course of my life: Music brought me my best friends, programming was my entry in to a real career and non-profit work set me up to deal with people well, helping me step up to product management. I also had a few wonderful years studying digital art.
- mycodesucks 5y agoYou should have done more homework since you are an adult and still mix up “lose” and “loose”
- J_cst 5y agoWow, that's a real fatality. But perhaps you should have avoided it. OP was just bringing in his/her experience. Perhaps well worth a spelling error? Your shot was too easy/gratuitous IMHO
- anotheryou 5y agoI've learned much more english through the internet and talking to people than I ever could have at school (I'm german). I'm not the best at spelling in general, but I doubt more homework would have fixed it or been worth the investment. I'm all for learning languages at school though, it's a skill that translates really well in to life unless you learn latin.
