Do you believe schools should be graded on the quality of education they offer and how they run the schools and for what?

I don't think schools should be graded on the quality of education because two totally different schools could teach their students differently, but as long as the students are getting the right information and learning something, then it shouldn't matter what quality the information is. Now, some schools go deeper into the meaning behind, let's say Romeo and Juliet, while other schools read the play and get the overall general idea of it. Now, does this mean that more "advanced" schools should get graded higher because they offer more "in depth" information on things that might not be needed to know for the future? That would be taking up time in which can be in place to learn things that you will need for later on in life. Sometimes you get the most out of basic schools, at least in my eyes. Schools that go out of their way to keep adding on extra information generally make students feel "over whelmed" with knowledge on things they don't feel is necessary for their lives. Some of the information could be forgotten and out of mind the day after the test. Then what good came out of that?

Now, "grading" schools on how they choose to run? I disagree with this. Schools with do anything in their power to run their schools in which they feel would keep students out of trouble and into books. Most schools are easy-going with rules because they feel that their students are more "advanced" and "mature" enough to handle the low rule system while other school pile on the rules because their students need a guide. Let's take two schools, for instance, that are in my area. East Detroit High School is one. Sure, they have some great programs and what not, but the behavioral actions in that school are just not tolerable. The students are way out of line half of the time and there are constant fights throughout the whole school year over stupid little things. They pile on the rules and have strict security because they feel the need that if they have this going on, then their students will learn to stay in check. As for my current school, International Academy of Macomb, most of our rules are real easy-going because we are an IB school and we know right from wrong. That doesn't mean we get away with everything, we know what we are expected to do and we do it. If schools need to be hard on their students to get them on the right track, then they sure as heck will in order to get them in the right educational and life direction for their lives.

I hope I answered the question with my views on things. If anything seems confusing or jumbled, please, don't hesitate to ask.

This is far from depression, to be honest. You are just going through one of those Graduate Senior feelings. I guess you could say. I'm sorry if I am not making sense. You see, I am taking it that you are graduated, so you don't go to high school anymore and you are used to talking to just, I guess, everybody, but now that you no longer go to school, you have this longing feeling to go back and "re-live" the times you have had there.

I guess you are just missing something, so to speak. I would give it a couple days, weeks if you must, and you should go back to normal. But, no, this is far from depression, just a sort of "missing" and "longing" feeling.

In my honest opinion ... Or what I would do ... Is tell her everything. She is your best friend right? But that is just me. Where you are coming from is completely different considering that you guys have the friendship formed off of lies? Please correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I had picked up from reading that. I don't honestly think we would be the same person here in this situation, considering as to how everyone acts differently on different things, but here are my thoughts and what I would do.

You say the people you have been friends with in the beginning of high-school know you better than that of your friend from kindergarten. I would honestly tell your friend that you were undergoing some sort of "phase" ... Now, if it would be a lie, then don't use it. I know a lot of people who have went through the "let's make up tragic events for sympathy" phase and they had got through it. If she understands, then she understands. You can always build up the relationship to your standards. However, there is a problem. And I am not going to sugar coat it. She may react differently to the truth. She could go off and think that the friendship was always based off of a lie and might not want anything to do with you anymore. On the other hand, she might understand, but the trust might be gone. You can try to get the trust back by starting off new. It may take a while to be as close as you were before, but you always have your high school friends to lean back on, since they do know you better than she does.

I know this might not work out as planned, but if it is something you want to get off of your chest and to start new, the best thing to do would be to tell the truth. Don't make her go another day into believing that these things have actually happened, because when you do decide to come clean, it might be too late. Always take an opportunity when you have the chance. Especially if she has been friends with you this long, chances are she might understand.

So basically, if you want to come clean to her, might as well start now.

Yea ... I have a really short attention span ><

I love oranges a lot better than lemons. I mean seriously, who doesn't?

So it is a he? Dang, and all this time I thought it was a she....

Just make some lemonade..

Why would you hate life if the superglue was everywhere? I am pretty sure life wasn't like "Oh, hey. Yea, I am going to just squirt superglue everywhere now. Have fun."

Ah, that would be nice to know then. I just thought it'd be here because it seemed that everyone was here, and I really wanted honest feedback. But thanks for that little information, it will help me from now on.

Ok, geez? Well, thanks for helping me out here. It was just a video I worked on, if it is not good, then whatever, never cared what people thought anyway. And really, why comment "You're not getting any of my views." Like, really? Aha, should have just never commented wasting your "precious little time." It was just a video I wanted feedback on, didn't have to be turned to an argument.
