A large percentage of high schools have some form of economics and personal finance courses that you have the option to take. I personally believe they should be mandatory, and I feel very strongly about that. Anyway, the main purpose of high school is to expose you to a broad range of different disciplines to, hopefully, give you an understanding of the potential courses of education that you'll be capable of taking in college- Where your options really blossom into basically anything you want (With some restrictions). You learn valuable things about your skills, interests, and passions during high school, but you need to be exposed to a lot in order for that to happen. Inevitably, you won't come to use all of what you learn, but it's a valuable process.

I'm probably being a little too demanding when it comes to the real world info, but I wish it was at least something that is NOT optional.
You MUST take at least 1 course, that would at least show that schools give a shit.

This is just me talking about stuff on my mind, turn around now if you don't wanna read a bunch of text.
Put this in Serious to hopefully ward off trolling.

So! As many of you probably don't know, I am a teenager, in High School, trying to get good grades to hopefully get into gaming development or computer engineering, and the more and more I go to class, the more I think...

Why am I learning about this The Great Gatsby when they could be teaching me more important things? Like how to pay taxes, getting a job, buying a home, why am I not learning these skills?

I was homeschooled by my parents for a while, and am still taught a lot by them, 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.

MY PARENTS are teaching me more useful information than SCHOOL, the place where you are supposed to learn how to do things in real life.
Why? Why can't school explain to me how to make a good resume? How to work on a business or the best ways to commute to work? Why can't I learn those things?

Sure, knowing some chemical reactions and some abstract math can be useful...but for 1% of the time, the other 99% have you doing basic multiplication, addition, subtraction and division. Unless you are a friggin Rocket Scientist you won't need to know those things.

Which I why I wish that school systems focused on real world information, then had personalized classes that teach you in the areas you need to know for your specific career path
But that'll never happen, because this is the USA, which has a horrible education system.

But it will still be funny as hell, but I can't make it perfect since no pink nameplate

Seriously, add periods.

Your avatar is the best

It's surprising how well it works imo

I made it by accident on powerpoint when I was ghetto-photoshopping somethings together and thought it was kind of amusing. So I saved it, then LC changed my shit to the pizza man again and now the face of kotori is here for all to see.

It's fabulous

But at some point your Original Avatar needs to return

Indeed, but which one specifically?

The vanilla/DID techpriest, Kaiki, Mecha-Legatus or some of the other ones I've had rolling around <.<

Techpriest FTW

Some gameplay here

YouTube

I like how the game immediately starts with an outdated meme. Really sets the mood.

Holy shit that's cringy

i don't get it
besides pewdiepie being annoying as fuck, the game actually looks fine

Gameplay doesn't look bad at all, it's the...ugh, the theme it has.

Slap a Duck Tales theme on instead and you got a decent mobile version

Ferrorthorn vs Tentacruel

Ferrorthorn

Better in the Meta IMO

You know people, he's jerkin it to your legs right?

6738

[[REDACTED]]

We made an account on the same day...

Gatomon vs Kirby

I'm gonna take that as

Charmeleon vs Jigglypuff

And with that, I say Jigglypuff, because sleep.
