exactly, although i took advanced classes in high school and didn't have to deal with the idiots that were there just to goof off and be the class clowns. the college atmosphere is a hell of a lot more mature than what was in high school, although there are still the attention needers. but for the most part it is way better than high school. as for our education system in general, i think it sucks. here in texas we have that dumb ass Robin Hood Act or whatever where a certain percentage of the TAXES MY PARENTS PAY go to the poor schools in south texas where there's a huge portion of minorities (mainly children of illegals) going to those schools recieving my parent's as well as everyone elses in the district.Quote:

The state shouldn't penalize those districts that happen to be in more affluent areas and get more money than those in the poor parts of the state that recieve virtually no tax dollars because the illegals don't pay taxes. It's fucking annoying/frustrating when you think about this. This is one of the many reasons i'm sick of governor Perry and can't wait till he's outta Austin :mad:
Reb how was that cyber school thing, i know someone who opted to do that rather than continue on in the public school system and they really enjoyed it.
(wow i love my randomly capitalizing words and not capitalizing great education system we got here :D )
