And most of the time it is pointless and accomplishes only biting you in the ass.

Ah, but you aren't wrecking face in LoL with me, so the rest is meaningless.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Highschool is obviously something very different over here... People don't seem to hate it as much as the Americans.
Here you just piss about with your friends and learn shit... Sounds like the American education system needs major adjustments...

We talked with friends between shootings (and scoring drugs). What's this "learning" shit you guys keep talking about?

You learn here in Scotland... It is what we did at school.
I assume that the definition of school is different elsewhere.

If I were to list everything I find wrong with the standardized system of schooling, I should write a book by the time the list is complete. If I were to further list everything awful in specifically american schooling... I should complete a series of novels by the time I am half done
Passing the HSQE in 10th grade in the 98 percentile when I've learned next to nothing there (I didn't do any of the homework, and I failed most of my classes due to sheer number of zeros swarming around the 90%+ test scores)... disturbs me to no end. I even spent the first half of tenth grade in home school where I accomplished exactly nothing.
I found most introductionary college courses to be no better than the highschool ones I left behind. It's only in the classes that interest me (ie: Russian language) that I've found anything redeemable in college And it's only the classes that interest 'theyoungatheist' that I would recommend he take. He'll get further in life (faster) if he specializes in his chosen field immediately rather than trudge along with the rest of the group and delay his proper education by 2-4 years.

Are you simply ignorant of the in-school drug trade... or are you quite certain there was none of this?
Scottish people probably just trade booze.

Schooling in Scotland ain't too bad... I don't know how the rest of the UK is, because our government controls all our education...
We don't have to pay our fees for university.
