A good teacher in chemistry makes all the difference!

True, but for me i always preferred the exactness of Maths, and things like History.

Good for you and whoever more that only have to study basic stuff + the subjects you choose.

In Brazil, you need to take all classes and they go very deep in it (even if you want to take a biology in University, you will have to learn logarithm and how to integrate, for instance). This counts for every subject (geography, history, chemistry, etc). I was accepted in Mechanical Engineering and even then I had botanic classes like this one when I was in high school. Totally useless!

Hehe. But here, all the useless stuff is there in 1st year of Engineering lol. Other way around

I like the melding of the maths and chemistry!

Which is way better, because you already selected the group of people you are teaching to. When you are in high school, there are every sort of people with every sort of tastes, there is no need to teach 'in depth' math subjects to future designers and biologists or to teach advanced botanic to future engineerings (for instance).

This shit is just to make Brazilian education ranking rise in the international polls. It is not about the amount of stuff you teach and rather the quality in which you do it. It doesnt help to put enormous amounts of topics to study if you dont provide decent professionals and infra-structure for the students to learn. Fucking ridiculous!

Yeah. I don't see the point in exploring topics in-depth in highschool. Wide range of students, different aims/dreams etc. And mostly, Highschool is supposed to be the fun part of education

Exactly!

Well, I am glad I am not those people who cant pinpoint a country in a map or that doesnt know the basic stuff that happened throughout our history or even that doesnt know what organelles a cell has. However, I get upset when I hear people have cool classes that they can choose in high school, while I was having all that boring useless stuff.

Apart from that, I fucking loved high school. I miss the parties, sports events, girls, the gossip (lol), etc. It was fun!

Exactly same shit here in Algeria, we arent Geniuses, quantity over quality all the day, disgusting.I would happily quiet school and pay to become a Web Designer or a top Network Engineer rather than doing it the "normal way."

I was the complete opposite tbf. More on the nerd side. Any sports fan is a nerd here. it's not like I mind anyway. Sports fans are awesome. I would take playing football over dating a 'okay-looking' girl (but I would take a hot girl over football)

Seriously, what's the point of Tumblr blogs (or in general, blogs) than only contain pics?!

[Jusek 2,031]

Cycled 10km in 22 minutes 30 seconds with exercise bicycle, geez I was sweating. Trying to get my fitness back since I got little lazy after military service.

I was like the cool kid who studied. I have/had nerdy frends and popular ones...

That is very weird mate, sports fans are the cool kids in general. Those people who are ussally lost during PE or the people who are very very shy and dont talk are the ignored ones. Of course it isnt so far part, there are tons of people who are a mix of everything, but you get the idea. At least in Brazil!
