More school frustration

When we are going through grade school and especially high school most of the stuff that we learn we learn in class and and are given reasonable amounts of time in class to do the work that we need to do, but then you come to college and find out that its quite the reverse. Why is it that most of the learning and work must be done on our own, especially when a college students time is much more valuable than a high school student? You would think that we would want our students to be prepared for college so we would structure the learning more closely to how colleges do it. That way we don't develop bad study habits and perhaps more people might go and be successful in college. I mean if that how colleges are going to do it. Or maybe we can change the way colleges teach. One or the other, something has got to change. Hmmm... i wasn't going this direction with this entry but it has wandered this way, but maybe thats one reason why we need those waivers from the government on private school tuition. If we aren't getting the necessary skills and education from public schools why should we be forced to continue to go there just because we don't have the money to pay for anything better. This way it will force a reaction from public schools to restructure in order to stay alive. In my opinion, it will raise the standard of learning all around. But who's asking for my opinion...

Hey- Nice blog. Welcome to the blogging world. Be careful, it's addicting. Loved your ornament. Sounds like school's pretty tough, my suggestion: Keep on truckin'. Good luck.
