School Is Out

It's Christmas Eve, and most of us geeks have gotten kicked out of school by now for the Christmas break along with the rest of the students (despite how much some of us might like to learn.) I myself am pretty glad I get a few weeks off from school, to rejuvinate and relax. And when I go back to school in January, I'll be well-rested and ready to tackle the next few subjects. Despite being a hardcore geek, even I need some days off. Some of us like to relax by learning, but I'm definitely not one of them.

So that brings up my question for all you readers: Do you like school?

As we all know, that question is relative. Some of us really enjoy school, some of us can't wait until the next break to get away from the preps and jocks that bully us, some of us can't wait for the break so we can party and have some fun (not that some of us don't do that during school anyways. I'm not judging!) I enjoy school a lot myself, I have a few friends, and one of them in particular is turning into potentially one of the best friends I've ever had. I realize some of us might not have any, and that's okay. It takes time to find a true friend. Trying to fit in with the rest of them will only get you in trouble.

School isn't all about friends, either. It's about building life skills, and learning the things you need to pursue your career, whatever that may be. Even if the subjects don't seem useful now, they probably will be (Math in particular. Banking takes a lot more effort than you think). So if you hate school, think about that, or if the option available, try transferring to a different school. You might like it elsewhere. How am I to know? School and education is relative, some things work for one person, some things only work for another. You might like public school, another person might adore his or her private school. It's all a matter of opinion, and sometimes, what you can afford. Private schools are more expensive than public schools.

A new type of education is presenting itself, called magnet schools, and Chris Pirillo explains everything in one of his bloggers' articles, "Magnet Schools and Your Children."

So whatever your choice of school may be, whether you hate it or not, just know that in the long run it'll be for the best (I hated homeschool, but I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't endured it).

So what's your opinion? Do you like school? Do you want to transfer? If you like school, why? (If I go to college in Michigan, I'll like it a ton more. I'll get to go to college with my boyfriend.) Comments welcome.
