"the worst part is in school is that we're split up based on how we learn. excellent idea guys, lets put the people who learn a little slower in the "stupid class" as its known to most students and give them more reason to feel bad about themselves and give their parents something to be disappointed about."
Its essential to split up classes based on ability. It is not fair to smarter people, for them to have to slow down because certain people in the class do not grasp the material as quickly. Most of the students in standard class, are there because they do not try in school (so they prolly dont feel bad that they are placed in an easier class), or they come from a less than ideal background (poor, single parent who works).In most cases, a person in standard will not have their parents be disapointed in them, because the parents are not interested in their schooling. A child growing up in these poor conditions may be dissapointed that they are not thriving in school, but that is rarely the case. This is obviously a stereotype, but i beleive in holds true. In all the standard classes ive been in, you can see people showing up to class drunk, high, or asleep. Obviously these people arent trying.
As for taking honors over AP inorder to improve your GPA, i'll agree with that.
I cant really relate to all the stress associated with highschool, because as u know, i dont really do any work. Considering i dont need to know a large majority of the information in my life, i find it more convenient to cheat. Although since this is morally wrong, this strategy isnt for everyone.
Planning for the future is essential. You dont want to showup to college and have no idea what you want to focus on. Its key to focus in on a certain area so that you will have the skills to get a job. Going into college with no ambition towards a certain area can be a waste of time.
