Homework

Of course, what kid doesn't hate homework? A better question, what kid doesn't hate school in general? For the most part, the chances that they like school in general is slim and none. I however do like school. The thing that I don't like, is what we learn in school. Most of the classes that we have in high school, are suppose to get us ready for real life, but thats not the case. When are we ever going to have to know our past history or other country's past history if we are going to be a mailman? How about being a journalist, and having to use the distance formula on our papers? My answer, and feel free to disagree with me, is about never. We shouldn't have to learn the in-depth things unless we wish to make a career using it, then we can go to college for that. I want to be a journalist, and i will not need half of the things I am learning in school as of now. How are we getting prepared for life after school, if we are not learning the basics in things that are going to be used in everyday life. If we want to go into higher levels of education and more in-depth, then let us make that decision on our own.
