The Seeker Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 It depends on what exactly you're talking about... I don't see much point in trying to understand chemical reactions just to get good grades when your real interests lie elsewhere. Of course you should have a basic grasp of different subjects; languages, science, music etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 'Play the game ' , lad - pass these tests , ace high school and then get into university or secondary education- and THEN strike your anarchist colors ! They'll love and worship you for it - few truly novel things appear in universities , anway ! For the time being , memorise the sh*t you have to , write it back down verbatim - ( it isn't knowledge , I know ) - but that's what 'they ' want' .

TheLizard Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Last week's school paper had an article entitled "Abstinence-Plus". Which inspired me to ask the morons that write that paper, "How can a person be more than abstinent?" I never got a good answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
