13056739, how do you graduate high school and cant fill out a simple tax form?

High School doesn't prepare you for grown up life at all.

13056745, What kind of lecture do you need for a simple tax form?
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Fri Aug-12-16 01:22 PM
It's just fill in the blanks. Take the number for box #8 of your W2 and type it in here.

13056875, balance a check book - how hard is that? but people need to be taught
Posted by GOMEZ, Fri Aug-12-16 06:41 PM
it's just addition and subtraction, but it's a basic skill that a lot of people lack when they leave high school.
you don't need to dedicate a whole semester to it or anything, but still.

You're allergic to bees and get stung by a bee on school grounds. Where do you want to go? The nurse or the librarian? Exactly. Schools need to stop being intimidated by the medical mafia and pharmaceutical pimps and put more resources into our healing libraries.

13056767, Fractions
Posted by AtoZ 0toInfinity, Fri Aug-12-16 01:50 PM
I was helping my kid w/ improper fractions and simplifying using prime numbers
Bruh ...
It reignited all the old vitriol. I understand How to do it
but why make me go thru that just so I can learn how to convert
them into numbers and keep it movin ?!!?
This was moment that made really side eye math as a kid
Lil man homework was lookin like mindless TPS reports

13056819, because sometimes you need a ratio instead of a number

And there are only about 4-5 non whites taught in history classes. Also, very little sex ed being taught.

13057001, in sex ed i watched a movie that involved date rape?
Posted by GoldenWon, Sat Aug-13-16 06:07 PM
& i still didnt know why the dudes yelled and then got off of the girl.
stupid shit tbh good teachers know how to make even the randomest stuff to a kid relevant
like one teacher was so extreme abt the importance of semi colons and we used to laugh like shit
but now
a lot of ppl still don't know the difference between a comma and one. im sure its the teachers fault for not helping kids understand why this fuckery is irrelly

13057026, The teacher throwing erasers full of chalk at kids
Posted by fatboybrandon, Sat Aug-13-16 10:19 PM
I remember in my 3rd grade class this one teacher was targeting kids at random one day. I don't recall anyone provoking him to do it either, he just seemed to be on a power trip. Fortunately I wasn't one of those who got hit. Back in the mid 80's here in Harlem I remember school feeling more like jail overall.
When the majority of the class went apeshit and wrecked the classroom whenever there was a substitute teacher for the day was senseless too.

13057138, homework
Posted by exactopposite, Mon Aug-15-16 12:00 AM
I legit almost didn't graduate from high school because of not doing my homework. I retained the information without it. It made me understand that school isn't about learning the course work. If it was I would have been a straight A student.
