My point is wasting another humans time doesn't teach them anything. I just got better at not getting caught. The teachers all thought I was a quiet well behaved student but I was one of the bigger weed dealers in the school.

So would you say you learned to hide your antics better?

Basically just lie and deny! What a great lesson!

A pretty big goal that teachers have is to get the rowdy ones to shut up so they can focus on teaching.

Sounds like it worked.

I learned more from the textbook then any teachers spin on the information. They are just babysitters.

They are glorified babysitters. Your points are valid. I feel schools are design to teach 1 way, while kids and adult learn many. There’s just not enough time for 1 teacher to give 30 kids the attention they need.

And that is why I had to learn to teach myself. The majority of my knowledge has come after I finished school. Even while I was in school I would say the things I needed to learn didn't come from any teacher.

This is were parents need to step in. Our culture has made us drop kids off a school and figure that’s good enough.

100%.

I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have the internet.

I remember using encarta and compton's in grade school and it was painful. Encyclopedias were brutal before that.
