i knew who he was but on thinking about it that and his leadership style are pretty much all i knew about him. i actually don't know what he did that helped the war at all apart from keep the masses happy? i don't know any prime ministers in africa during ww2, or who was leading japan

i guess it's different because you'd have to go out of your way to avoid knowing winston churchill but it just seems really really trivial. SAID SOME SPEECHES THAT WERE REALLY QUITE GOOD. FLIPPED OFF A NATION. NOT A NICE GUY BUT GOOD FOR A WAR.

these are sophomores who think winston churchill was in the revolutionary war a decade or so after 1874? that is pretty bad. what's their major, something in business or fashion?

business and fashion should merge with beauty school to form a new low-cost school of higher education.

oh I forgot about GAMES MAJOR

which is probably what you make of it but I imagine there are a lot of idiots in there

for the record dudes i never once (NEVER ONE TIME AT ALL) learned about winston churchill in school, no joke


you guys are underestimating how bad our schools can get

except this is why you're supposed to learn shit on your own, there is no reason you should go through life hearing the name winston churchill and never consider "huh maybe i should find out who that is i sure do hear about him a lot"

i didn't know what caused either ww2 or vietnam until college

i'd say more but i think you guys would puke at how awful schools can be (and btw my school system is one of the best in my area WELP)

it's the south man

rajew i am not trolling you.  you do not understand how bad school systems can get, they can be worse than this even


when it came to history, we didn't learn shit (ESPECIALLY if america wasn't involved.  we learn vague bits of history starting from the pilgrims coming to america to mayyyybe the end of ww2, but we don't learn what caused ww2 we just learn that the holocaust happened and we bombed japan, also ww1 is completely skipped over and pretty much anything else actually unless it's us sticking it to the british)

idk if you were in irc when i told the stories about my geography class but here's a summary of this:

the entire class was basically as if my teacher had read a book on new age teaching methods and wanted to try out every single one of them, so here's what we did--

1) he would throw a nerf football to us when asking us questions because somehow this made physical-oriented people learn better
2) we had to make up a hand movement to relate to our name, i had no clue what this really meant but he was very insistent on this
3) we had to rotate desks because he read some study about how people in certain locations of the classroom learn better (idk maybe it's because the better students PICK those seats????)
4) using a keyword to mean "WE ARE ABOUT TO START LEARNING" makes kids learn better, so he would always say "GUNG-HO" when we were supposed to start working
5) coloring with crayons
6) the grossest cookie-cutter essays ever.  no, seriously, when i say cookie cutter, i mean they were almost literally mad-lib essays.  he'd give us a work sheet and we'd have to walk to the front of the class and look at lists of words (for example PICK OUT A SENTENCE STARTER, LIKE "HOWEVER" or "ALTHOUGH").  i have never seen a worse exercise in bad writing and we did these like every week
7) junior year of high school


we were also required to take a class called PARENTING aka "don't get stds or get pregnant, but if you do don't microwave your baby or do drugs"

we had a guest speaker in this class once that talked to us about stds

she told us a variant of the aids mary story, saying she read it in a newspaper

i seriously think my jaw dropped when she started telling this story because i was thinking "oh god....no...she can't be telling this story....please tell me this is a different story....oh god no...no...don't say welcome to the world of aids...no don't....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

we had a guest speaker tell us a fucking URBAN LEGEND FROM THE 80S as if it was fact, i wanted to puke it was the dumbest thing!!!!  after class i went and TOLD HER that it was an urban legend and she did not believe me.  jesus it SOUNDS fake what is wrong with you


rajew please tell me now that you don't believe me

i dont

yo vellfire isn't that the kind of education they send like social workers to extract students from? thats like cult indoctrination or like vicious bigoted redneck homeschooling
aaaagh im never letting my child being educated except my high school!!!!

welcome to the south, this is our education system, you wonder why large portions of america are so fucking dumb?  it's because they really DIDN'T learn anything in school.
