What did you really learn in your school time?

how to sleep in classes

i think elementary school and high school was a big joke...i learn sh**! i used to try hard not to fall asleep in class. i learned mostly on my own but following the examples in the chapter. sometimes i wonder why we had to go to school. it was a waste of time for me. i got average grade but i didnt really try very hard, just did the minimal requirements. i am glad i didnt waste my brain cells and try to hard because getting a job is based on connections and i dont have any connections. companies hire blue collared white or ethnic on quotas, and i am neither. but i am happy with my education: ba in social science, executive mba and graphics diploma. i am an indie. i self-published my first novel on my own, and working on a 2nd one. i did a lot on my own, and i feel accomplished professional without anyone's help.

Oh I just forgot most of the things they taught me in school. I didn't learn much in school. They did not taught me how to start my business and become rich. What they taught me was to become a good employee. I learn much on the outside when I observe people, experience things, and read books!

The most important things things you learn in the first twelve years of school are socialization, how to learn and a few basics to help get you started in life. If you go on to further education many of the things from those first twelve years can be built upon for whatever field you choose. You obviously learned enough English to start this discussion in an understandable way, so comunication was a success, and I bet you can count the change when you pay for something, so some math skills linger on. You may be suprised how much you did learn and now just take for granted. Oh by the way, I am not a teacher...LOL

in my primilary school i have learn so many things like how to write and how to write,and many tings,but in my high school i have leart how make my dreams come true,and how in my college i have learnt hoe to make life and how to live by myself!

i learned how to cram, how to cheat without getting caught, to gossip...haha! seriously though, i think school teaches discipline and responsibility. i learned a lot of that!
