I have a theory that school rots your brain, as it consumes so much of your time. If you are not very challenged by school, it still consumes a ton of time on out of school stuff like homework, projects, studying, etc., but your brain isn't working very hard. Last year I had very little homework, and plenty of freetime (mostly used up by activities, but even then more than now), now I have more homework, have to get up earlier, and school is much more consuming of my life. Here is my evidence: |

Hey I got those same results except with a legitimate iq test (assuming there is such a thing). It entailed 4 hours of difficult testing and was completely different from any online IQ test I've ever taken. (completely.) I still don't think school rots your brain, but I do think that more schools should have independent study as an option, because we all know that interest ultimately determines if and how people learn something. |

yeah, shitty online IQ test are really bad evidence, but I seriously feel as if I am getting stupider overtime, even if more info is shoved into my head. Maybe it's all the memorization for test and that that's wasting away brainspace that could be doing something interesting instead. It'll probably get better over the summer, having fun, not being in school, giving the brain a break. I still think that considering something like 65% of all the stuff you learn in school is through memorization, so it just lingers for a bit in your short term memory and disappears, when you're in school your brain is rotting away unless the stuff is actualy interesting and at least somewaht enjoyable. |

I think public school is lame. It teaches you how to fit into society, rather than learning about yourself. So much useless work that is so meaningless! The school system needs to changed... |

on the other hand, I had two teachers in high school who really (really) opened my mind, and I'm very glad that I met them, even if it meant 13 years of schoolin'. |

I kind of agree. If you ever have a horrible teacher it feels like that. Problem is a lot of schools have horrible teachers. |

I don't think the school system as it is (atleast in the USA or maybe just in Alabama) is very good. Its very flawed and i wish it could be redone. The teachers rarely care about teaching and no one there is wanting to learn, things are to standeredizd, and ther are some teachers who just dont teach. I wanted to take a psycology/ sociology class then I found out a PE coach tought it and that it was a waste of time. Im one of the few people I know the truely enjoy learning (exept spelling and gramar) but at school I just cant do it. |
