im a student in highschool so im also not sure if this counts but.... here is what i have to say
1. I hope for my self that i am prepared for the real world and college, i want to know basic skills plus skills i need to become an engineer.
2. i acutally think, im my town of 40k, suburb of chicago, that education is fine, but then again my highschool is a little better off than others in my area.
3. No, there is not too much pressure from the actual school, my parents pressure me alot more, always worrying about my grades
4. Almost all of my teachers are good, my algebra teacher doesnt seem to be able to teach, and thats not just my opinion, its a general 100% concensus on all that have or had him that he is just not any good, so we help each other. And My engineering teacher seems like he is better fit to teach gym. and my marketing teacher complains about how bad her life is everyday. otherthan that, PERFECT. some are annoying, some are mean, but still good teachers in the teaching aspect, they teach us, we learn, done deal.
5. Im not sure, i hate getting up to go to school, but i DO cherrish it, not the actual school, but there are so many moments in school that i will remeber for long times, so much funny things and awsome things i experience with my friends in school. its a good experience, i hate it and love it at the same time.
6.yes, education is a priority, but unlike my parents who want me to be a nerd and only worry about my grades. I however, dont, i like enjoying my childhood thankyou.
7.Yes, sometimes when im in the classes where i have good teachers, i think its a great job that i think about doing, not seriously though.
8. Im still in highschool, so ill do it from my point of view, they hardly get respect, bad pay, and have to put in long and hard hours. I would not do it, even though it does seem to pay off at times.
9. just making us a better educated public, country, and species as a whole. theres a reason China and India have been gaining on us, we need to make sure we put more weight on education to stay ahead.
