Personally, I'm absolutely horrible in school. I rarely do homework and get B's or C's on tests but if you hand me a blue print and give me the materials I can build just about anything and yet because I'm horrible school wise and my grades are suffering my future is rather limited. In all honesty I think schools should steer away from college prep and from here's instruction once and if you don't understand them oh well we're moving on. Currently Welding Technology is the only class I have an A in the rest are C's and/or D's.
Have straight D's but not because I'm dumb but because I don't see the point. I understand the need for a job and so an education yet I feel like schools don't teach what they should how they should
They teach a one size fits all approach when in all reality we all have a special way in which we learn. I was ecstatic when I got into welding tech because it's quite literally the only thing that will sustain me after school.
My brother was an absolute genius, he got 100% on everything all through school, was a professor in three things i can't even pronounce but he was a complete loner and had lost his jobs after government cuts to the uni and recently ended up committing suicide because school never taught him what to do when it doesn't work out and when grades aren't enough
What? This isn't about making excuses, it's merely an observation. It's just saying that financially well off kids don't need to focus on the system, but the knowledge.
