This radio ad for an online high school

So you used to do well when you didn't have to like.. Think at all then it got just too hard?

That's kinda sad.

Public education needs massive reform.

Lady, you think high school was hard? University, if you went to a competent one is twice as hard and twice as much work on a daily basis than high school was. Some of my daily required reading was over 250 pages. I spent more time out of class doing work at University than in class. Way more. At the end I was ready to give up. I counted the fucking minutes.

University was hell. And they said it gets easier after the academic reqs when you finish your first two years, LOL. Bullshit, my 300-600 level classes were twice as hard and required much higher level thought than anything before. And the tests with mostly essay answers? Just kill me. I'm so glad I'm done with that shit. I've never had to work that hard in my life. My majors was Business Management and accounting. And I got a minor in economics because I had switch majors once I saw how fucking hard it was.

All school is easy as hell. I wasn't dumb but I never did my work, in response they put me in dumb classes where I did less work because I was so bored.

These days if I need to know something like trig I just look it up. I never look up things like calculus, because those are fairy-tail mathematics for fairy-tail math world.

The most complaining comes from a non technical major. XD

I must be the only one who found college easier than High School

Middle school was hardest. That's where I struggled the most with my maths and sciences. Once I got the hang of it though, high school was cake.

I struggled in high school because I was overweight and had acne and the girls laughed at me.
