There are so many kids in America who don't apply themselves and don't care about learning. They go to school becuase their parents think they are supposed to. And then when they fail, their parents don't care. After a long series of failures, they give up completely and usually remain immature, without a shread of dignity. I have to put up with these losers through high school. It's ridiculous how completely oblivious they are...

Ahh... I think maybe I was unclear. There
are children who do not apply themselves in England, but that is due to the fact that either a) They are not getting enough support at home, or b) They are Morons. Don't blame everything on Schools...

2. I really doubt he meant "Lets get a docter who has no qualifications and let him/her fix ppl." We are talking about grade school here, if someone wants to learn to heal, they go to medical school after grade school.

What Bidda seemed to be implying was that Grades, Tests, and Qualifications were an unnecessary part of the Learning Process. I was simply arguing that without Grades, we would have no way of proving that we had learned anything...

3. Why would he say that? Where did he say that?

And what do you get in return for good grades? a better school.....a better job...more money. The bottom line is....school is senseless learning for cash.

Since he was using this sentence to explain why Grades were Bad, he seemed to be implying that getting a good job was unimportant. Like I said, I was unsure of what he was trying to say, which was why I offered several alternative arguments...
