Okay so here is the thing. Currently I am a senior in high school. And as a requirement to graduate we have to do some fancy research paper on a topic of your choice. Well, I thought it would be fitting to do mine on the unnecessary pressure created by the education environment in order to get into college. Essentially I am saying that there is a fundemental flaw in the upbringing of children today. As a teenager and one going through this entire college process, I can certainly vouch to say that something is wrong and this simply isn't working.
Currently I am doing the pointless task of 200 notecards. I need 50 more and its 3:16 in the morning. I'm probably going to be pulling an all nighter seeing as I would wake up in three hours for school and I'm still not finished. Regardless, I just wanted to see what the IW opinion is on all of this.
There is so much frustration and utter disgust with the way we are raised and educated. And quite frankly I almost feel shortchanged. However this paper will be a combination of my personal thoughts backed up by actual data, which I guess is what a paper is. But I thought it might make for an interesting topic of discussion. I'm not familiar with education outside of the U.S., but I'd imagine it is more or less the same thing. I hope it isn't, but it seems to be one of those universal things that we have today.
I'll make a more coherent, cohesive and concise (gotta love the c's) when I'm actually in a functioning state. In the meantime, I'd like to hear some of IW's thoughts. What did they think of their own education leading up to college. What about college itself? Can you say you are satisfied with the choices you made or are you content in life?
