really? it's my best. i don't know how schools in the uk work, but here there are a lot of... ignorant people. and being ignorant, they feel the need to disrupt class and fail. and people wonder why the rate of drop-outs is so high these days. the curriculum they teach here in the states isn't horrible but it's basically pointless. i'm not gonna need to know who won the battle of concord or who the twenty first president is.

schools need to prepare you for the world. not just to take a test when you're on your last year to tell you if all that work you did in the past was worth anything or not.

i hate school... lol. that's why, personally, i dropped out. i couldn't learn in the environment. people in this town are closed minded, and everyone knows everyones everything. shitty, shitty.

SPAGHETTI!

ah lucky you.
yeah i think in the uk it's very similar, people take school for granted and end up causing havoc, but people in my year at school kinda realised after about 2 years of mucking around that it was pointless so i actually learn quite alot now, although the first 2 years was pretty much a waste of time -___-
you dropped out!? woah! do you just not go to school anymore then or did you change schools?

i am not entirely sure if this was you latest comment, but i will reply anyway!

yup. sure did drop out. like i had said before, i hated the environment. everntually i stopped going and got my G.E.D. (high school equivalent). and getting the G.E.D. in like six weeks was 100x easier than four years of shitty high school. lol

spaghetti? because spaghetti is spaghetti. and spaghetti is amazing.

lol i know it's so confusing the difference in names of schools in America and the UK. i think i'm just finishing up what you lot call high school (here we call it secondary school) (basically our kinda garten (?) is called nursery and then there's primary school, then secondary school, then 6th form/college and then university) lol got that? yeah so i'm just doing the final exams (GCSE's) and then i'm off to 6th form college

oh snap! i'm glad to be starting my... 6th form education.

here we have elementary, middle, and high school. then there's the possibility of universities or community colleges. a community college is like... somewhere you can get a small degree. not really small in size, but in years. like two year stuff. would that be the same as 6th form? or is 6th form also four years like traditional universities?

awesome! yeah i love theme parks. here in the states we call them amusement parks, but it's still the same thing. it's an awesome time! i loooooove roller coasters._my favorite one i've been on is called 'Alpengeist' at Busch Gardens in Virginia. it's a floorless one and it's all twisty and flippy and inverty and it was awesome!

and the food! even though it's expensive and ridiculously priced, it's amazing. at Busch Gardens it's all Europe themed. Ireland, Germany, Scotland, and some other well known countries. i'm not sure if the UK was there, but the food was amazing! and they had these big buildings where they showed the culture of each countries and the food and they had a dance and it was so cool! i would love to go and experience the real thing if i could ever cross the pond. but alas, no job, no money. one day though!

for now i'll just have to sit and wait.
