I never saw school as a place to learn facts, but as a place to learn how to socialise and how to deal with life. Learning how to get a good grade is important, but only because people think that it represents your worth as an employee. My parents/TV/books/the internet taught me most of what I know.
- tptacek 13y agoI am way, way, WAY more concerned about the ethics my kid learns than I am about whether he gets a B or an A in World History.
- GotAnyMegadeth 13y agoAgreed. Though I wasn't saying I cheated to get my grades or that they were artificially inflated, just that I avoided homework. In my school your homework grades never counted towards you actual grades, and if your homework wasn't going to teach you something, what is the point?
- emerongi 13y agoI just didn't do the "dumb" homework. Physics and math and such were interesting to me, so I was happy to do those. I laughed so much at your comment, cause I used the same techniques.
