[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 39947, member: 153"] Re: In my 3rd year of High School... Now what? Hello Mark, Sounds familiar..... though....didn't have the swimming class...looking back...the first semester was a waste of time. Streamline the Specialties....we need more Engineers and Scientists and Health Specialists. Not to veer the thread, but, it's time to Overhaul the American Educational system. Take some of the Profit back from the system. Teach the Basics in Grade and High Schools....Math, Physics, Basic Literature, Spelling and Grammar, Chemistry, History.... Leaving the Advanced classes to Colleges and Universities. They say 75% of American adults can't tell how many stripes are in the flag, or what they signify. 68% can't find 6 & 3/8 on a ruler. 47% don't know what a yellow signal at a stop light means. 98% think that Columbus "discovered" America. 76% of Adult Americans think that Polar Bears live at the South Pole, and 63% believe that Penguins live at the North Pole. And, one of the worst bits of news, 34% of Americans are functionally Illiterate. Hammer ps....Mommas....Make your Kids Study and do their Homework. [/QUOTE]
