That's because Florida and Texas were fighting to see who could be the dumbest when it came to the virus.

If we would have moved to Dallas, I would have gone to Southlake Carroll. Makes me sad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a starter there. In Texas, marching band is considered a sport by the UIL. That respect level is unheard of in our community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of how Jersey is top heavy in football. That's how Georgia is in terms of education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do a pretty good job at teaching the ones up that want to learn. It extends past the classroom, there must also be a learning culture at home, as well. We fail in that department, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It extends past the classroom, there must also be a learning culture at home, as well. We fail in that department, for sure. Honestly, we still don't provide enough opportunities for those who want to learn more. Take it from me. I have a grand total of 2, yes 2, choices of math classes for senior year of high school. And one of those choices is a freshman level math class. It's not just my school, it's schools across the state. Take Lambert for example. Very good school, and they offer "career pathways", which means that if you want to become an accountant, they have a set of classes for you to take. If you want to be a doctor, there are other specific classes they guide you to. Only a handful of schools across the state have this, and I'd say over 80-85% lack the extra educational opportunities that make other states better. A learning culture at home must be there, too. However, school should set that precedent by providing courses that make students question the subject and go home and research at home. At the moment, it's just rote memorization that they hope will get you through life. There are very minimal real-world opportunities for students at select schools here in Georgia. From a student's perspective, Georgia could do much better to provide a quality education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a student's perspective, Georgia could do much better to provide a quality education. I don't disagree about the choices. I was in that same boat. However, it comes down to resources. School systems are already on tight budgets and cannot add classes just because it might benefit one or two students. I had some excellent teachers that really challenged me while others were simply bullet point memorization teachers. I do agree there could be a change in this aspect. This is one reason why I believe students that took the vocational program and tech school route are often times better prepared in their field of study; they had hands on training and less time memorizing a PowerPoint. My advice to you would be to find some online courses and self educate yourself. Heck, you can find apps on your phone that will teach you nearly any subject of interest these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
