You cant be intelligent if you're JUST good at stuff they teach you at school seeing as its all irrelevent *BLEEP* that is just designed to be an excuse for the government to contain children in a disguised prison and to waste hours of their lives by attempting to fill their minds with useless *BLEEP* and to diminish their character. The government talk about 'human rights' as if they know the meaning. They are actually taking away childrens human rights by forcing them to waste their precious, short lives in classrooms where as they could be out at this time actually doing something creative with their lives. I probably learn more useful knowledge outside of school in one day than I learn in a month of school. People who think they can judge intelligence by school grades are very sad, dilluded and narrow minded. The whole government system is *BLEEP*ed up but the school system just illustrates this fact perfectly. It actually makes you sad to think that they have the right to waste our lives. http://www.school-survival.net/index.php

School doesn't give students just about ANY choice of what they would like to learn about, or HOW they would like to learn it. In fact, it's gotten so bad, that every time someone mentions the word "learn", people instantly think of "memorize". Just look at all those "memory-enhancer" things on the market, and "mind-maps" and whatever other method of memorizing things. Memorizing is NOT the same as learning! School is about MEMORIZING, not LEARNING anything useful (hey, apart from basic reading and writing, but they even manage to make that so awfully boring most kids hate learning about it). School gives learning a bad name. http://www.school-survival.net/index.php
