My graduation was like most of school: I sat for a long time and waited to leave(speeches lasted 3 hours....).
The longest part of my education is now complete....... do I have something long, drawn out, witty or insightfull to say?
Not really......
It was "eh" *shrug*-not terrible but in my of course EVER so humble opinion, MOST of it was a complete waste of time, for me at least, as I would say I learned ROUGHLY 75% of the material out of school...... I wont be egotistical, but for the MOST PART, the only class which taught me anything I didnt know, was my math classes, and programming classes.......
English, science, social sciences, "economic" electives..... all fairly basic stuff, even in the honors classes-total waste of time, actually I need to amend that statement, I learned things I didnt know in my Chemistry class, granted it was utterly useless stuff only someone going into that field would need to know, but I still learned it, LOL!
It's kinda sad really, how all that time was waisted........ there should be equvency tests in all subjects so you dont have to take them if you do well.
If nothign else I've come to one conclusion after high school: It wasent that bad, mostly just a long drawn out boring wait.

. English was semi useful fershmen year, but was a complete waste after that. History and geography was a waste of time... like Ves says, 75% was already known to me. Thank god for my math classes tho. I actually did learn a lot in those, adn I even wich I was given more instruction in Algebra in my early years, as I never built a solid foundation in algebra (which is absolutely essential to higher math) until much later, making things more difficult for me. tBut, overall, the school curriculums are largely ineffiecient. My public high school WAS ONE OF THE TOP RANKED IN THE COUNTRY, and it suffered from inefficiency... just immagine how some of the worst do...t he American public school system needs to address its chronoic ineffeciencies before real problems arouse.
