Using texting talk in posting.

[emilya]

I'm twenty years old and my high school provided me with an excellent education, especially considering that it was free. When I graduated high school I got a scholarship that pays 75% of my tuition and a financial aid set up that gives me 2,000 a semester. With that and a job I'm almost making it. Fortunately my parents have quite a bit of money and can help me wherever I come up short so I don't have to take out loans. Just like anything else, the opportunity is out there. It is in no way the school's fault. If the kids want to learn they will, if not they won't. To blame anyone else but the person in question is a cop out. Furthermore, I don't write in text talk unless I'm sending a text message. When I am the only reason I write like that is for the purpose of short hand. On social networking sites or anywhere else on the internet I write like I was not raised by livestock. But it is not the school's fault. You have to work for what you want in this world. If you want to just give up and quit, then fine. If you want to stop learning (education will never stop for me, even after I graduate) then fine. But do not blame someone else for your choices.

edit: Private education is a waste of money. If you're sending your kid to a top boarding school and you're going to buy their MBA via donations to the school's library then that I can completely understand. But unless you have money like that, private school is a waste of money. I went to a private elementary school and when I got out I had the same education as my high school peers. Theirs just did not cost 36,000 over nine years. There were kids from my elementary school who went to the next (private) high school school on the track of our (private) elementary school and my SAT scores were just as good as theirs were. My SAT scores HAD to be good for me to get me scholarship and I achieved that without a problem at a public high school.

Kudos to you 420marijuana420! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I left college 10 years ago and went to work. I realized when this economy started to fail that I was better off in academia! I returned last year and am loving it! I am happy to see another student who enjoys the experience as much as I do and also appreciates the value of a great education! I am sending you rep+ points too!

omg, wat so bad bout a lil txt msg typin? dnt any1 else think its cool to witness the evolution of a wrttn language? i save so much time w it too.

Nah, just kidding. I agree its a bit annoying to see typed...tho sumtimes I almost cant seem to help it cuz i text so much, it just comes naturally for casual communications now.

Not saying I disagree that the overall education level of our future generations of kids is going down the toilet... tho its not like we havnt been in an age of anti-intellectualism since the 50's. This is what we get.

It's becoming more and more common for folks to surf the web on their super amazing miracle phones. I suppose it's easier for me to read text talk on a forum since I grew up with it. The older generation needs to keep up with the times, not the other way around. Instead of complaining about having to learn to decipher some extremely simple abbreviations, maybe one should marvel at the fact that they can communicate with these people at such great distance at all in such an amazingly short time.
