Did grade school prepare you for life?

Despite what you all may think, the SAT doesn't reflect **** about your intelligence. Your GPA represents even less. IQ is more of a "how big is your glass, and how fast can you fill it" type of test. Depending on your learning style you can be presented with all of the curriculum for a class and given a deadline and finish in time, and have retained more than what those in a typical classroom setting would have. Another thing you guys are mixing up is Intelligence and Wisdom, there are big differences among the two. That is all.

That's more opinion than fact. I know for my own personal experiences that my intelligence is very high. Not only do I attribute it to my paying attention in school, but honestly, I owe a lot to years of watching Jeopardy and years of doing crosswords.

I didn't see anyone talking about wisdom. I do agree that they are two different things, though. Later, QD.

i was gonna try to read what you wrote here... but had a seizure instead....






as far as did school help me...

well, as far as people skills and basic computer skills.. yeah i guess it did...

but i did not go to college.. and i have a pretty decent job..

i'm 22 yrs old and am a software tech for a dental software company... i make roughly 30 a year and my ins is paid for... (which i think is pretty good considering i'm 22) i got the job because of the people i knew... not because of what i accomplished at school...

on the other hand... i think i would have rather used my potential in school instead of slacking... and gotten the scholarships i needed to attend college... so that i could have more options with what i want to do with MY life...

so short answer... it didn't help me, BUT it could have if i let it...
