This all ties back into a problem High school diplomas are fucking worthless, and schools don't have enough state curriculum to provide more than two years of valid coursework we've lowered standards for the last 15 years, starting with no child left behind if we don't have a purpose to high school, don't send people to high school if we're admitting that at grade 10, they might as well just start college, that means colleges have also slipped why do we accept that "the first year of college is worthless anyway" or in your case first 2 years

See lamp to your last point

that is a fault of your current system

that you have overachivers who are above average, because instead of them just being really smart, the average is just retarded

I think it is kinda silly that as a math major my college would want me to take two semesters of american history even though the normal student would have taken that exact same thing in 11th grade, so why should they retake it

And that's why the first year of college is seen as useless I would assume

I think it is silly that math majors should have to take any non program courses at all

do they not give you any flexibility on your general courses?

at uni we got a LOT of freedom

Sorry, my math major would want me to take like 2 credits of a history

my program has not done that. Only non math/physics elective I took was a philosophy course on arguementation and formal logic

not necessarily american

and I did not need to take that

my program lets me take whatever the fuck I want

^

But the general student would be like "hey i already know american history, so that'll be an easy A!"

WE got a list of 100+ courses broken into categories

yeah

I haven't actually picked courses for my uni so maybe it'll be like that, for the local community college they say specific requirements for an AA in certain programs

While I'm generally in favour of people taking out-of-major classes in general not if you're forced to take shit you don't want to take

And I'm grabbing the AA through the local college since that's where my dual enrollment classes is, and then goin to univ for my bachelors

Whats an AA

2 year degree

2-year-degree

why do you need that?

they used to be for women

when colleges started offereing programs that could be completed in 2 years

also

women shouldn’t go to college

I agree

it's a lower bachelor's degree

fuck taking shit you dont care about

So for most universities and stuff outside of state, they might not take dual enrollment or AP credits

I'm so glad

that like

but if you have an associates degree they had to recognize it

half of my "persepctives" were covered by ap

I wouldnt even say most universities outside of state,

just like private schools and stuff like that

err, higher end ones

and you have to take a gender studies

or an quality class

or something completely worthless

I can see benifit in some writting classes, several logic and philosphy ones

etc

why do people major in gender studies

but I don't think college are the devil for pushing people into ^^

gender studies is less useful than philosophy

if i actually pass hs i’m going for history which is pretty useless

Bio the non meme awnser is some people go to university just to get a degree

without actually wanting to do anything

sounds like free debt

it is

a degree that wont even guarantee a job, and was a waste of 4 years if you dont do anything with it

I am all for going to school for the sake of learning

job or not

but going for the sake of going

is retarded

what's funny Pika is that the pople who go just to go

wait back to pika failing music

are also the ones who skip classes irresponsibbly

I'm sorry that you had a class like that

That's okay I needed an elective, but its not like it mattered

i’m just going to college to go

I just more mean I'm sorry that you didnt have the fun of a good music class

For mine you dont have to play an instrument but its a lot cooler if you dont

most HS students take a free slot in 4th year but there were too many math and science courses for me to even consider that

Music theory is just so cool

so I had more than enough credits to pass

Oh I loved my HS music

I did 3 years of violin

oh good

Would have done 4 but again

too much math/science

yeah man, between jazz and music theory i've really loved my highschool music program

I'd pay to see Pikachu playing sports in HS gym

Technically I think my school is labelled as a visual and performing arts school

3 grade 12 maths, 4 grade 12 sciences. I did not end up doing earth and space science

idk I don't think I got anything out of my perspectives
