In hs I was a terrible student. Not because I didnt wanna do the work, but its hard trying to do well in a class when you dont connect with shyt being taught. I did the best in subjects I connect better with just like you. I'm an english, psych type person. Any technical math, science type shyt is
for me.

I think personally. Half of the K-12 should try to find maybe the specialty of the person, how they learn and they put them in the correct system. Although its easier said than done, but if you don't know how a person will learn, how can you teach in the first place?
Yep. and folks be like
"I got a degree... im edumacated" and I'm like.. 
" you aint got shyt but a receipt of services rendered"I will have my receipt soon tho but I know it means nothing at the end of the day in terms of actual mental capacity and intellectual challenge.

I was good at math until I hit pre-calculus. That was when put in a classroom with this teacher with a heavy Russian accent. I was
and dropped that class in the 12th grade.

Exactly. College education, even in the hard sciences, is just saying that you been indoctrinated enough in order to never use your free will to emancipate yourself from financial slavery.

Thats why many kids fall through the cracks. Folks get fed up being told they are lazy, don't apply themselves, ect when they know that they are indeed smart.
a lot of kids slip through the cracks on these dumb ass standardized tests too. none of it makes any sense.I plan on finding the niche of any child I have and understand how they learn things so I can supplement their education since they wont get what they need at school.
I had a student who basically dropped out. It breaks my heart even today. A young, handsome black kid who was as close to a gotdamn genius as you can get. Was bored as hell in school and just said
on the college slander though...it was a great experience for me.
Breh, you speak truth
Now, there is noting wrong with someone wanting to be a doctor or an engineer per se, but there is an issue with people assuming the ONLY education that matters is inside the classroom which isnt true. If someone wants to go to school and get a Law degree then
But for the many of us who have no clue wtf they wanna do, then other opportunities or resources need to be available. Because at the end of the day (this may be an unpopular opinion) I dont believe everyone needs a degree or should have one. People should be able to live a decent life if they choose to develop a skill, or if they choose to do something else and learn as they go if they choose. I am all about options and choices. I believe that liberal arts degrees should be free, professional and stem should cost money (not much tho) since you are guaranteed a job more than anyone else. And there should be more opportunities for blacks to start their own businesses without having to jump through 4393299 hoops.

. Had a homeboy who was an engineering major and dropped out his Junior yr because the system wasn't working for him.That man was as brilliant as can be.
I hate situations like that because it's not necessarily their fault
No slander, just opinions

Exactly. It is sad how this system is set up for you to HATE knowledge and to keep you in debt.

Education system: Take in as much info as you can in a given time span by reading books, try to retain as much of said info as possible, regurgitate said info in +/-90 minute intervals.
It's like taking a monkey, a shark, and a cheetah and judging their usefulness as pets by how fast each animal can swim the 100m.

It wasn't his fault. Can I tell you he had the most gorgeous handwriting I've ever seen? Breathtakingly beautiful. Like he went back to the 1700s to learn how to write cursive
He was one of two students I gave a grade of 90+ to... I don't give 90s
