Been there, done it and got the T-shirt.

High School is for lamo’s. I found it boring and even turned in papers from earlier grades as the ground they were covering was identical.

Since it was and I had received A’s I thought why not. I’m a busy guy and if they want to repeat the same stuff from 3rd grade or 8th grade, “then here you go. Where’s my grade?”.

I received the same grade for turning in the same paper. Teachers and students alike ain’t that bright.

Though sometimes I wish I had learned Algebra but, I couldn’t see how it would ever fit into my life. It’s suppose to make you think through but most of it was pointless.

Funny thing is I used Algebraic equations in Mechanical drafting and had no problem with them, as they were useful.

What can I say about High School? Nothing.

I was glad to leave and do something else.

Now I is a high income earner and still don’t think the choice to leave was ill conceived.

My parents and grandparents did not have 12th grade. If leaving early is optional, then I say let the mature ones move on to college or learn a trade. Maybe it would free up the teachers to actually do their jobs and teach the remaining seniors.
