Yea public school is a waste here in the US..I've heard 30% of kids can't even locate Canada on the map...seriously wtf!? By the time I was in jr high(for the record I graduated '07) I already knew everything that was taught to me over the next 7yrs...I coasted thru jr high and hs with straight As, never once listening or studying, except for Chemisty and Alg2/Trig

What is sad spiffy, is that you go to a pretty good public school. I don't know which one, but I am familiar with that area. Anyway, schools 50% to blame, lazy, want-it-now, can't-teach-me-nothin' kids 50% blame.

Btw, not callin spiffy lazy or nothing, but I'm sure he goes to school with plenty of kids that are.
