The tongue bitter, sour, salty, sweet thing is true… And I agree with college being the best path to. Sure there’s a lot of people out there that never went to college and became successful anyways, but the vast majority have college degrees.
Hispanic Americans won more Congressional Medals of Honor than any other ethnic groups. (Ms. Martinez pretty much taught out of black power and chicano propaganda books. Cool person though.)

Chalk it up to a differing in perceptions and opinion.
This is what was circulating around my high school back in the day:
If a milligram is good, a kilogram is better.
Got me into a lot of trouble.
Alittle bit of Rage on a Monday morning never hurts…
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can’t recall
The student’s eyes don’t perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school

Global warming will cause the Statue of Liberty to become completely submerged.
Global Warming isn’t a lie.

I learned how to quote song lyrics.
Behold the prophet Paul Simon:
“When I think back to all the crap I learned in highschool…”
from the song, Kodachrome, off the album There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, 1973

As in the BOHR MODEL?
So the wave model and quantum theory is the accepted idea now?
Well not quite the Bohr model but mainly the conception that electrons actually “orbit”. ie the attached pic.
The wave model is the more wildly accepted now yes, at least thats what they have me teaching the current high school kids.
The quantum theory doesnt kick in till Uni.
The worst is the chemistry syllabus. I think they still do electron configurations 2 8 8 … lol

Missing a few electrons in that pic.

Thanks for the correction, Lifticus.
I guess while you were learning how to quote song lyrics, I was busy learning what “begging the question” means.

That basketball players shouldn’t lift weights with the upper body (it would screw up your touch).
That sociology is a worthwhile academic discipline.

what i hated in the school the most was that maths and science were taught terribly.
I wanted to understand what was going on rather than just memorize it to pass the exams to make the teachers look good. the teachers didint give a fuck and there was heaps of questions they couldnt answere
I always learned in school that college was the all mighty place to learn. Now i know different, college is a place were the majority of people study to pass, not study to learn.
no one actually knows what their talking about any more and its a fuckin shame.
if college was a squat session, every one would be doing half squats

I like the term “academic bulimia”. Binge the night before on information, purge it on to a test the next morning, retain nothing.
Repeat a few years and wonder why not much sticks.
