Game Questions America's School Systems

by The Chosen Few on January 26th, 2010

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1838/1910/31514/asset.jpegGame, via twitter, expressed his displeasure with the America school system, but admits that everybody should and must go.

"After you learned how to read & do addition, what else did we need school for that we use in everyday life as an adult ?," he wrote Monday (January 25). "Cuz I swear I can't remember half the sh*t in them History books, my writin still sloppy, & I aint seen a microscope since science class ! well, sex education was MOST definitely appreciated !...I think school was a government's plot to keep track of us & program our lives. up at 7, out at 3pm five days a week. caught in the matrix but as a parent, I just dropped my kids off @ school & ah getta break from em' .. them 2 dudes is animals ! I get it, school is a babysitter Martin Luther King said: "The reason we in school 13 yrs is because, that's how long it takes to DESTROY a child's mind" .#nuffsaid but kids, STAY IN SCHOOL. we all gotta do it....... Aye, but I'm from Compton so maybe it was just our school system that aint really do shit for us. My teachers wore khaki suits n ere'thang."

co-sign w/bosstweeds…Game’s got a point tho…besides reading and early math…what else we need to go to skool for…everything I know bout history I learned from the History channel and I actually enjoy watchin it…I dropped out of highschool and got my G.E.D and now enrolled at one of the best Art Schools (Art Institute of New York City) in the country and my grades in highschool didn’t get me there…school is just there until u decide what u want to do with your life…but school ain’t for everyone.

Whatever point Game might have is overshadowed. You can’t tell people school is worthless and then tell them they should still be in school. Not everybody is a great rapper, artist, or athlete. Hell, even if you are, the place where you usually learn that about yourself is school. And for everybody else in the world who have to get relatively normal jobs, school is important.

I’m not saying there isn’t some level of unnecessary bs, but damn Game. Just telling everybody school’s worthless. Just because you didn’t need it.

that shit is true, but u cant say everything is pointless..i really dont understand though, i mean shit like “square roots of 50 to the power of 49” is fuckin ridiculous, i still dont get it and i cheated my way through calculus and algebra 2
they should be teaching u shit thats gonna help u actually perform tasks at work, like doing shit in a hospital or something, not worthless things like high-tech math that will most likely never be used
history is important though, i mean come on u should know the history of ur country in order to appreciate it, and it might open ur eyes to what u really have compared to other places
but yea alot of shit in school is dumb, it kinda is daycare but u do sill have to do it

Education is crucial in growing up. The developmental stages of a early child’s youth are the most prime time to be learning and expanding your brain with knowledge. I’m only going to speak for myself but i feel very privileged to have been able to go threw school growing up, experiencing a high quality of education some less fortunate countries revere and only wish they could take part of.

School teaches you more than just math and reading. They instill responsibility, and some schools will even go as far as impressing their believes and ideals on you. Anyway, no one can say school is worthless, just because you don’t see it necessary, other students do. Just because you blow off your science class doesn’t mean there isn’t a student in there that wants to grow up to be a Scientist. Schools, in short, teach you all the basics in every career field so that you are able to make the decision of which path you want to follow with your life. Just the fact that he believes, or even has the impression that schools are a government plot takes away from his credibility (not that he had any on the subject to begin with.)

senu you are missing the point… he is right to say school is stupid but everyone should go… i agree with him the public school system is terrible, and passed gradeschool, damn near worthless. but you do have to go and get through it to get a job. thats what he is saying. it doesnt teach you anything usefull but having that degree in the end will get you a better job so you got to suck it up and go.
and as far as it being a government plot, you could make a case for that… idk about you guys, but where i live, through middle school they put you on “teams”. there are usually 4 teams in most school with names like team a, b, c, and d. my mom was a teacher and she said the way they chose your team was by what you were “supposed” to do in life. like all the kids on team a showed that they were better with there hands and could be good technical workers when they finish school. team b would be all smart kids who were supposed to go on and do things with math or science. team c would be charismatic people to join a career path that worked with other people. and d would be the dumbest kids that they didnt plan on teaching much of anything to. and you would mostly have classes with just the kids on your team, so they could change the way they teach for each group of kids… they pretty much had what they wanted you to do with your life determined and they taught you accordingly.

Game has a point but at the same time i think the education system in America in general needs improvement. over in the UK, once u get into highschool u get to choose how many subjects u wanna study. so if u plan on going into engineering and shit in uni, u can just take math, physics and chemisty or something and thats all u do. but in the states u fuckin have to do so many unnecessary subjects which will probably not do anything for u in the future. personally i think everyone should go to skool but on the real, over half the shit u learn at skool is bullshit

the subjects people study in school are not for the knowledge of the subject but how you come upon the knowledge. the critical thinking. the striving for success and achieving it if you work hard enough. really, its not about history or none of that. i just hate when people make excuses like that just so they have an excuse to not work hard because that will end up showing in everyday lifestyle.

Game is right in a way… schools should prepare you for life, for work they dont do that enough… i come from a town where it has the highest youth unemployment in Australia.. teachers need to teach the individual not as a collective because everyone learns differently and the gov is making us learn what they want us to learn… basically trying to make us think how they want us to.. get a job pay tax, keep the poor,poor and make the rich, richer!

Now Game is one of my favorite rappers, but this is just retarded. It’s real easy to say if you’re a rapper, who literally needs to know nothing past the 3rd grade to be a millionaire a hundreds of times over. You go to school to get an education; education is a good thing! Did I like going to school? Hell no! But it really did prepare me pretty well for college, and now I’m doing the best I ever have in school in my sophomore year at a great University, and am on my way to making my living. All thanks to school.

I feel you on going through school and a great university but that doesn’t guarantee you a great job in your field. How many college grads you know that has a job outside of their field. It’s all about who you know, how else did George W. get into Yale. I’m not saying don’t go to school cuz i am in my last year of college and happy about it but after student loans, shitty professor that don’t care bout your ass cuz they have tenrue, and not guaranteed a job in your field, I can say school isn’t for everyone.

I dunno why some of you guys are sayin Game’s stupid for this. It takes some people a while to wake up to what the current education system does to the youth. Up to college, you’re fed (about 75%)mad useless/twisted information, and required to regurgitate it for a good grade, without actually thinking about it. Critical thinking is something that we’re not encouraged to do. On top of that, as time goes on, factual information is twisted and more theories are implimented on us. Thats why i think every generation gets dumbed down even more. I mean, how many people learned about the Sumerians in school? Probably the most imporatant shit I ever learned (read about them), and I learned this on my own…like most things that are essential to life.

He’s trying way too hard to sound intelligent.
School is to help kids learn different subjects and become interested in something so they can have a good idea what to do with their life.
Obviously Game doesn’t see the point because now he just makes music, but not everyone is going to have a shot like that.
Plus school is a good way to meet new people and establish a social life and it’s FREE, so might as well take advantage and get a high school diploma.

I don’t know what country you live in but school is not free. I don’t have any kids and I pay school tax, my friends who have kids at early ages gotta pay for kindergarten and whatever else unless their home-schooled.

As for the social life…yeah it’s a good learning experience for what kinda happens out in the “real world” (cheaters, hard workers, jokers, slackers, etc.) but the only people that I even think have an idea what they wanna do in life at the early stages of school are athletes and people who are artists of some kind.

The real decision is going to college of some kind cause that’s when you have to pay thousands for something that you’ve decided is going to be your career.

somerville7 months ago
My bad, let me re-phrase that.
School isn’t “free” since there are taxes (I’m in Canada), but it’s something that is needed.
Who wants to live in a country/area with poor education? It would make the economy even worse in the future.
Of course many people don’t know what they want to do early on in school, hence why there’s so many grades and different courses, especially in high school.
Hell, I didn’t know what I wanted to do until I was in grade 12.
Very few people can have a good life without an education, you’d pretty much have to win the lottery.
Most people need an education to get a steady job to live off of.

People must realize that school is only relevant if you are a DEBTOR in this Society. They teach you from the day you come into school how to become a plantation worker. Yes Game is absolutely Correct. The School System molds you almost as much as the parents does. Only people who are open minded and those who dont easily feed into bullshit know the truth about school. You go to college and do some more irrelevant shit to get a career in a business that most of the time you wont even get into. College Make you take classes that have nothing to do with your career. I will say though it is great to network in school. SCHOOL IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF MIND CONTROL FOR THE YOUTH.

So, what do you do for a living?

And if you go to college for a “career that most of the time you won’t get into”, then, it’s pretty much your fault for not trying harder to get into that field or wasting your time and money for taking that course in the first place.

its no government conspiracy—kids need to be in school or theyd be getting themselves into trouble (kinda like how 90% of kids who drop out of school are involved in some shit), we need high school education to determine where u go to college, we need a high school education because without the basics u wont want to learn more and ull be happy with knowing 1+1=2 and ur colors…fuck outta here

basicly, i don’t like the educational system. for one, homework should not be mandatory. or if it is, it should be in the form of a video game or a rap song or whatever … the way education is run right now, it’s as if it’s a one size fits most suit. people with learning disabilities like myself don’t do well in this system unless you goto a school that is well accommodated for it. if it wasn’t for computers, i would be consitered a moron. i can’t spell, i read slow, i get shit mixed up and backwords, and i get frusterated when all this happens because i get condescending remarks about it by my peers all the time.

so game for once i’ll give u a pass

high school was the easiest time of my life—got 3.5 in high school…meanwhile i got a 1.223 my first semester at college and it took me 3 semesters to get back to a 3.5

its funny that a lot of you agree. look at the state of your community…look at the histroy of our neighborhoods, our ppl…look at a person , actually a BLACK person that decided/was able to get an education. look at the differences. things will never change for us. the solution is right there in our face and we see it as inadequate or unnecessary.. its truly sad. a true education can save us from ourselves….many of you mention that math an calculus are unnecessary but ppl involved in architecture and construction use it, and the ones that can apply it to life make really good money…come on blk ppl get with it
