Well anything past 7th Grade...I don't think we will need another language if we are staying in the same country with people that can communicate with us...math calculations...who needs that when we got a calculator? English expanding our vocabulary and writing why complicate the English language more? Science learning about the Earth and killing innocent animals by dissecting them I see no point...PE just leads to hurting your body physically...Homeroom LOL what? So yeah school has no point unless you can prove me wrong without saying you get better pay when you have a higher education because in the end you basically use basic skills you learn in elementary and middle school

School builds habits. Work habits, ability to take in information. The evolution of knowledge of the human race. We would die out without those habits. Just sit around all day. Without education there's no work, nothing more to life than just trying to survive. We are a species which strive to become more advanced everyday. You want to reverse the evolution of what has become of us? School is important.

I concur with the rest of this thread. We could bother to refute your points, but you'd simply discard it. There is only frustration in fighting an enemy that does not know when it has lost.

In the Prop. 19 thread you refused to consider valid points from someone you assumed was a "druggie." I'm 100% sure I know multiple people who use drugs (even illegal ones) that are more intelligent and successful than both of us combined. But what is a druggie anyway? Someone who uses drugs? Anyone who has ever used a drug? To you: I strongly suggest you stop eating turkey, chocolate, mushrooms, sugar, drinking coffee, milk, taking medicine, as those are all drugs.

Along with all of the above mentioned, you also meet tons of new people in school. I've met my best friends through school, and we've all been friends for over four years. I'll thank school for that much.

Take a look around the room your in. The cell phone you have, the medicine you take when you're sick, the computer you're using right now.. Do you think we could have accomplished that with just a 7th grade education? I will admit though, school [pre-college] is more of a social experience than a learning experience, until you get to college and specialize, and truly be educated. But you still need the foundation of the basics before you can specialize. As cliche as this may sound - knowledge is power.

7th grade- 10th grade to see what subjects you may like or are good at 11th-12th grade to specialise in something before Uni Uni - To synthesize and expand on what you've specialised on to make a living

Oh, that makes sense. I guess nobody should learn a language other than their native one. Oh crap, how will we communicate with the rest of the world now? Oh well, at least I have this nifty calculator to solve this complex math problem with... wait, the vast majority of higher level math problems can't be solved using only a calculator! What do all of these buttons mean, anyway? Who even MAKES these calculators? Nobody, because guess what level of education is needed to design a calculator? Higher than a seventh grade one! Well, I guess I can still communicate effectively with people who speak my own language... wait, dangit! No English class! How can I accurately describe what I'm thinking with my extremely small vocabulary and horrible spelling and grammar? Well, at least I'm not physically hurting myself during P.E. Wait... now I don't exercise and my body is in terrible condition! My life expectancy has just decreased dramatically! Forget about "being successful" and "getting a good paying job", we're all screwed! See my point?
