<p>For all of you in college now or have experienced college, how do you feel about the secondary education system. Do you feel it has prepared you or has it failed you in regard to the challenges of the real world and college.</p>
<p>eye sink eye wuzz well prepaired, eye can spell good, and rite good too</p>
<p>But seriously, most of the students on this site are going to be well prepared for college regardless of their secondary education background. The self selection on this board is so high that I would think that most would be very much prepared and capable of attending almost any college.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how related this is, but AP's are not representative of real college level courses</p>
<p>i really think that my education, from infancy, had not been adequate, or at least compatible to my level of knowledge and thinking. i'm always up head beyond everybody else and in many cases proved to be much more intelligent and cognitively dexterous than the instructors themselves. it started with disbelief and denial, but then it later turned to depressed acceptance. i had to face the truth: that i was smarter than everyone else. </p>
<p>anyway, not only am i intelligent, but i'm handsome. i walk in the streets and people also stare at my muscular physique and some group of girls applauded.</p>
<p>i know u guys might be jealous of my sexy qualities. but, that's okay. it's okay to cry and kick urself for not being born like a superman.</p>
<p>please, reserve ur comments on this post. i know u guys hate me because u envy me so much. also, i'm just too smart to waste my time hearing ur responses.</p>
<p>correction: incompatible</p>
<p>^^ I face the same hardship every day, some people just envy you too much.
It's sad.
I also envy you because you have the name of two fantasy villains.
Some people envy me because of my name "Alexander"... ;)
The reason for your intellectual superiority is probably because you attend a community college. I heard people aren't top notch there... ;)</p>
<p>Eh...I always kind of got the impression that the main thing high school education was trying to prepare you for was the admissions process, and college was where you started to learn things just for the sake of learning them. I mean it prepares you in the sense that doing work for 12 years makes you ready to do more work of a similar type for 4 more. </p>
<p>It doesn't seem like a lot of high school students are up to the standards that the colleges really want them to be, because everyone always gets put into the freshman composition classes and whatnot...stuff that technically should have been learned in high school. Aside from the classes specific to my major, my first year was pretty much a retread of the last couple years of high school. I didn't really have to put a lot of effort into those classes, but a lot of people still struggled with them and did much worse than I did. Writing, in particular, I noticed as being pretty atrocious...both the admissions materials I see at work and the writing done by my classmates all the way in their senior year. I think the internet has had a pretty bad effect on a lot of people's writing skills. </p>
<p>Nothing about high school that's taught in the classrooms actually prepares you any for the "real world", though.</p>
<p>To put it simply, in no way did my high school prepare me for both the quantity and quality of work that I have been exposed to in college.</p>
