School is harder than average adult life

Woof

You'd fit in well here.

School sucked then after school you lose all your friends and work every f’’’’ing day and it’s just game over it’s all over and u better have a good job or you need 2-3 jobs just to buy a car. No one tells you that the goal of the country is to make a rich dude another billion dollars. This country sucks

I'll do Australians a favor and not judge them all based on you as an individual.

You as a unique person regardless of where you are from, are kinda dumb.

Go back to school 💀

The reason birth rates are falling is bc life is absolute garbage and not worth it rn

I enjoyed the read; however, I was unable to reply last night. im a child so i already feel like this is going to get shot down before i can even open up another thread

I fully agree with you on the payment part. I've always made the All-A Honor Roll. However, all my school does to congratulate you is send you a certificate (the wrong one), and call your name out at the end of the year (mispronounced). My parents pay me $5 for every A I make, which translates to $25 at the end of each quarter. Perhaps I have adopted a greedy mindset, but I feel like someone other than the parents should be paying children for going to school every day and working just as long as the adults do. At least pay the ones who actually put forth the effort and don't spend their class periods on another browser or tab looking for unblocked games and whatnot. However, (much like AG said), the schools would be much better off with the government paying students. Schools are already on a tight budget with paying for trips, activates, teachers, lunches, admin, etc..

In one of my ELA essays I had to write, we had to do it based off of an article called "14 Pros and Cons of Getting Paid for Good Grades - Should Students Get Paid?" I couldn't help but notice one of the cons was among the lines of, "paying students for good grades will make them greedy. They will expect to be paid for any and everything." I disagree and agree on this one. There's always going to be kids who expect that, but you have to grow up and come to a realization one day. But, as an honors student who works her butt off to get the All-A Honor Roll, paying students should be something the government is interested in.

Sometimes I sit at my computer in the middle of a thirty question algebra exam and think, "adults have it so much easier. They aren't learning fifty-five new things every single day. They do the same thing on repeat. Gosh, I wish I was older." But let's be honest. I'm doing school virtually, in bed or at my desk covered up with a blanket in my pajamas, I wake up thirty minutes before my first period. It's not that bad once I take a second to actually sit back and think. Adults have to wake up before the sun even comes out, drive to work in the fog, rain, storms, sleet, hail, ice, snow, or whatever weather is going on, sit in their office or cubicle for hours and hours, (listen to other grown people act like children,) they can finally clock out! Oh.... The sun has already gone down again after they spent their entire day cooped up sitting at a computer.

I don't know if the adult world is harder than being a kid. I'm still in middle school, what would I know about paying taxes and insurance? I'm just here to share my opinion.

I do have a feeling that the struggle depends on what future you set yourself up for while you are still in school. Whether you want to go be a doctor, a therapist, whatever you heart desires. The amount of pay you receive is going to crank the difficulty of the job up. Mc Donald's workers receive maybe $20-25 per hour. Neurosurgeons (where I live) make $130-175 per hour. See the difference in difficulty and hourly pay? Of course, the people working at Mc. D's are mostly older teenagers working after school and not people who have been doing that for years and years. If you were someone who has been working at Mc. Donald's for the past fifteen years (which would be unlikely. Just my opinion.), it's probably not easy buying your (basic) needs and wants, paying bills, medical, insurance, taxes, etc.. Especially with the way todays economy is.

Lotta essays being written here. Except for one key thing: evidence to back up your claims. No outside sources being mentioned as proof.

And here's the thing: if you say that "oh, my personal experiences are my proof, I've lived through public school (or whatever) and this is what happens", then I should be allowed to use my personal experience of being homeschooled all my life to say that homeschooling is not as flawed as ppl believe and does a better job to prepare you for life.
