So in other words, this guy just doesn’t know very much.
My thoughts exactly.
school doesn’t really teach much, and you learn most everything from social interaction
I agree with this. You don’t learn much in school because kids just retain facts for the tests and forget about it, and college is not worth what you pay. It’s not learning, it’s just to obtain a degree.
Also, I’m in college and I still watch Bill Nye and Beakman’s world with my rabbit on Saturday mornings.
I know right? If there’s one person I know I can trust, it’s my rabbit. That’s why I dropped out of high school and started watching Bill Nye. I’m already finished with part 5 of my 80-part plan to become a physicist!
I agree completely. The stuff we retain is the stuff that is made fun.
I take it you are not an engineering major?
i doubt he made it to middle school yet
you guys are all dumb, haven’t you noticed we have a bunch of idiots running the country and they all have degrees, common sense is what gets you through most of life, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, although some educated idiots might think so.
The thing about this statement is, common sense isn’t so common. It should be called rare sense.
The way I see it, common sense and “smarts” ususally come in a 2-in-1 package: Either you have both, or you have neither. Personally, I have both.
And so wonderfully modest, too!
maybe you just should start listening.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah – I definitely saw the Navier-Stokes equation on schoolhouse rock.
I like the way your retort flowed.
Put punch line last. Oh, wait, there wasn’t one.
Unrabeling the mistery, that all started whith a Big Bang!
yeah best comment ever XD
In my cousin’s class, all they did was watch movies, and not teaching ones.
Three weeks into the semester in my Health and Fitness class, we’ve already seen “The Fantastic Voyage” (crap old movie, if you’ve never heard of it), “Supersize me”, and “Shopping with Susan Powter”.
Oh yeah, and my teacher also said that things with monounsaturated fats come from one farmer, and things with polyunsaturated fats come from multiple farmers. Yay for being smart!
Thats not the one where the guy gets miniaturized and stuck in the body of a random guy, right?
Actually, yeah. A team of people get miniaturized and stuck in the body of a scientist who knows the secret to perfect miniaturization to destroy a blood clot in his brain with a laser.
Oh, they made a new one whrer they test a miniturization machine, but the old man in the ship gets placed in a vaccine.
To be fair, the OP probably dropped out in 6th grade and now works at a video store where he can rent Bill Nye for free.
You forgot the biggest slice: Learned from wikipedia.
So I’m not the only one?
so you guys are ten?
You forgot Magic School Bus.
My childhood education from that seris was the dinosaur 1.
While I agree in that you forget a lot of what you learn in school…
Seriously dude, you’re just not listening. Or your school sucks. Probably both.
Where is the Mythbuster’s slice? Where else are you going to learn you can make a rocket from salami or destroy a ships sail with a cheese cannonball?
SInce civics was stripped out of most US curriculums I expect most folks are getting 100% of their government knowledge from School House Rock.
MYTHBUSTERS!
Not cool!
What? Are you jelaous that I’m better than you?
You? Better than me? No way!
Yes you are.
The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
For you, it’s impossible.
HEY! No twisting of Carl Sagan!
Yes twisting. CAUSE YOU’RE STUPID
OMG stop using my name!
Yeah, I remeber when the Count from Sesame Street went over Complex Derivatives. Oh, and remember when Big Bird talked about the Preamble to the Constitution? Good Times!
I can’t do the Preamble to the Constitution without singing the song.
(bum, bum, bum, bum, DING)
We the people…
in order to form a more perfect union….
It’s called a Joke you bunch of tight asses!
I have a Masters of Engineering, but I completely understand the point – Public Education sucks, and kids remember rhymes and fun stuff. And those programs are where I FIRST learned many things.
When I visit random sites from time to time, and check out these types of things, I usually scroll through the comments, to see what idiots happened to post on whatever website I happen to be browsing. Generally, it only takes a few moments before I run across someone with a vaguely similar view to mine. In this case, however, it took, alarmingly, over 40 posts before this happened.
Thank you, very much, for expressing, perhaps even better than I could have myself, my own opinion on this comment section. I was getting dangerously close to having to express it myself.
that being said, I believe that 40% of the comments on this pie chart are trolls, 30% really are as thick as they sound in their comment, and the other 30% are just joking, in one form or another.
Eh… it was the addition that he was “being very generous” with the size of the pie slice representing his education in school. I get it, people think our educational system sucks. And perhaps conpared on certain levels with other coutries, one could draw that conclusion. I know that, being a public school system student myself, I owe a great debt to the men and women who worked long hours for little pay so I could know that things I do now. “being very generous”?… your joke be bad n stuff.
Congrats on having a good experience in public schooling. Here’s the thing: Overall, you are correct, our schools really aren’t THAT bad. (we are quite far behind in math and science, compared to other countries, but if a student excels, there ARE ways for them to progress at a faster pace.) The problem, (in your case, not a problem) doesn’t lie (for the most part) with the school system. It lies in the homes, the environment provided by the parents of these children. If it weren’t for my parents pushing me, and making sure I kept up on my homework, I certainly would have fallen victim to numerous distractions, and learned nothing.
Further exploration of the environment idea. It was programs like Bill Nye, seseme street, the magic school bus, nova specials, and even those high school science lecture videos that used to be on PBS from 10-noon, that made me interested in science and math, and gave me more motivation to apply myself in these areas in school. Maybe I didn’t learn 99% of what i know today from those shows, but I can say with honesty that if not for those shows, I might have learned a much smaller percent of it at school.
He also forgot xkcd. That’s where I’ve learned everything I know about theoretical physics
WIN!
Ditto.
you must be legit more dumb than a rock… yes more dumb than a non living thing… have you ever forgotten to breathe? seek mental help
i feel that way sometimes too ): i feel like i waste a lot of time going to school, I could probably learn everything they’re going to teach me in half the time or less.
So why don’t you do that?
100% right !!
Then you aren’t trying. Learning takes at least as much effort on the student’s end as the teacher’s- you only learn if you want to. Have I gotten a teacher once in a while that can’t teach well? Sure, everyone has. Do I still try to understand the teacher and the concepts they teach? Hell yes- and it’s done me well.
If you don’t take the time to think about what is in those books you lug around, there’s no point in carrying them.
Don’t forget the most important one, the magic school bus
for history, i’d put in videogames ……. viva call of duty
If your modern history understanding is based off of call of duty, perhaps you and I are from different worlds.. In my world, russia didn’t invade, and hiroshima and nagasaki are the only two nuclear bombs that i know have been dropped…
(i know you prolly weren’t referring to modern warfare, more likely, rather, medal of honor, but the thought of that made me laugh…)
omg you are so right and i LOVE bill nye the science guy even though i never learned anything about what ever he i steaching
Where’s the “What I learned from reading books that interest me on my own” slice?
I feel like you are missing magic school bus. I got through so many years of bio with that show.
