Gym Leader?

Realistically, probably a ranger or something, even if the games are based around creatures fighting eachother for sport, it's shown that the Pokémon and trainer do share a bond, so that bond would carry over to wild animals

Has anyone actually played it? I know this is just a shit on "inert internet person here" thread but I actually want to know how good it is.

I'm more or less pointing out how quickly the fanboys/girls jumped on this game.

But yeah, basically the answer is that some things aren't optimal to be learned in an academic environment and most of your classes will help expand your mind a bit. If you sit through the majority of your classes thinking "this is pointless", then you're going to hate college and Computer Engineering might not be for you.

I love it when the teachers teach us things on the computer, or math, and I am very good at it with A-A+

I have been taking side programs to learn coding, and have been going through an old HP computer learning it's ins and outs.

I am very interested in Computer Engineering, but a lot of it I don't need to know.
Well then forget what I said. I saw you make a jab at math courses earlier which made me think you saw them as pointless. Your degree will be very math heavy, and you'll also have to take your required sciences, english, etc.

I'm not going to lie, some of it will be useless and will seem like they are just trying to milk money out of you whereas there is at least some sort of merit to all the required courses in high school.

Let me correct myself, I love/hate math

I'm good at it, but it gives me a bunch of trouble some times. And even in coding I don't think I will be using 3.14159((pie)) anytime soon.

Why don't you stop being a little bitch and teach yourself?

Because what the hell are my parents paying for? Me to know shit I probably won't ever need and not how to psy friggin taxes?!

I cannot tell you 25% of my state laws
I cannot recite the human rights OR the Constitution(working on that)
I barely know anything I need to know!
nigga

You can be the goddamn president and still not know what the constitution says

To be able to get a lot, you need to know the first 10 at least.

I can't tell you 10, I can tell you 5.
I'm working on it

ike how to pay taxes, getting a job, buying a home, why am I not learning these skills?

I learned all of that in high school, but your parents are largely responsible for that stuff.

Okay, what if your parents are uneducated, unmotivated or dead?
Same goes for Gaurdians.

Not everyone is taught the same way, so some people will need more education than others.

Honestly I don't even know why it's taught in high school. You're not going to retain any of it because you'll go at least a couple more years without even needing it, especially if you go to college. Barring that there are guides for basically anything you could ever do; and honestly, unless you're getting a 1040EZ or other simple statement you really should be using a professional for taxes, especially when you own multiple properties or fucked up your itemization throughout the year.

I have no clue what you're talking about



Which is my EXACT FRIGGIN POINT.
They can get the idea in your head. So you aren't completely lost trying to figure out how to pay it!

I didn't learn any of that in high school, I  learned it actually filing my taxes. We have such unbelievable access to simple guides for almost any task on the internet, it's kind of silly to complain that you're not learning. Trust me, as someone that learned the stuff you're saying you wanted to learn, when I say it was completely pointless.

I'd rather not learn on a trial and error basis, and why am I going to school when I can learn everything online?
Because school is a hands on experience, something most online guides can't teach. They can introduce you to a lot, they don't have to go into detail, but can give you an idea.

Hell, my parents told me to pick out two stocks, watch them and chart the counts, and note all the news that could effect the stocks. Then I can see when the best time to sell/buy and do it at those times. Which then they'll buy them and sell them.
Now THAT'S how you do it! Well...the teachers wouldn't buy the stock, but you can have your students watch some.

Reactionary investment is a terrible way to do it. Your parents are teaching you wrong.

The buy/sell thing is optional, i'm not doing it. Mainly just watching and learning.

Then you're fucked.

You can try the Internet, but there's nothing like the hands-on experience, if you ask me.

Which is why there should be SOMETHING in school for this!
Just SOMETHING, ANYTHING! It could be an open session where the students ask the teacher different life questions that the teacher could explain in detail, or have a hands on experience.

Now THAT'S how you do it! Well...the teachers wouldn't buy the stock, but you can have your students watch some.

Just something hands on, something interactive, something informative ANYTHING!

and my parents are teaching me how to work in the Stock Market with buying and selling stocks, how to start a business, so on so forth.
 Why can't school explain to me how to make a good resume?
I learned these things in required high school courses in the middle of a fucking farmtown in Pennsylvania.

Why are the rest of you people's schools so fucking retarded?

Because not all schools have the same rules, funding and teacher motivation.

Let me correct what I said

I want schools to at least teach some real life situations and skills, not just academic skills. As not everyone's parents are like mine and teach me more.

Because it expands your mind. Otherwise you'd just be a straight up tool.

Would you be?

I get academics is an important thing, and knowing these things can prove useful in the right situations, but I wish school would put at least a little effort into teaching kids how to live in the world other than 1 + 1 = 2
A lot of school's do this though, mine did. They gave as guidance on resume building and job searching in my senior year. We had good teachers too though, like the ones who actually give a damn about you. What grade you in breh?

Sophmore, early on


I go to online school btw, not actual public schools
