Who's graduating from HS or done with College?

Good one E!

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I think college has become the new high school. The kids coming out of high school nowdays are as smart as junior high school students used to be and a lot of the college students don't have any common sense, or know anything about US or World events from more than 5 years ago, or know how anything works. I bet most of them think all the news about "Deep Throat" this week is about a porno movie.

What?! It isn't! Damn it, no wonder I couldn't find a midnight screening!

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I have to agree with ecoli. 8 years out of high school for me, and the majority of teenagers now days are dumbasses and have very little common sense. It was quite the opposite in the late 1990s, but seems to have got downhill in a hurry. Hell, even college grads today seem unprepared for the real world, as if life is just a big game without responsibilities.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

You guys are full of it. People have been saying that same garbage for fifty years. Lots of dumbasses make it through high school, they always have and lots of dumbasses get through college too. College is only as hard as the classes you choose to take. Its supposed to be that way.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I'm nearly done with my first quarter at Brown in Mendota Heights and you can definately see the difference between some of the older students and the newer students. The new ones just seem so unprepared and I don't know if that is because they don't have a lot of experience, or that high schools baby students so much nowadays. I have been out of HS for about 3 years now, but I can still see so much of a difference it is funny. I think it is great how someone spending 81K to be in my program and they just fluff through it, but that is kind of a different topic all together...

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I think the real reason for the difference is that people fresh out of HS have no life experience. In general they have spent all of their life up to that point living off their parents. Once they go to college and get out on their own they usually have to grow up a lot pretty fast...and people who are already past that see them and think, "damn what an idiot, I'm sure I was never like that"

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Well, personally I wasn't like that, but I am pretty close to an exception to the general populace. Yeah fresh out of school kids have little experience, but sometimes you want just want to say "WTF" to some of their actions that SHOULD be common sense to junio high kids.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

back to my post, anyone graduating High School?

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Yes I graduated from HS June 23, 1990... My Masters Degree should be in my hands around May of 2015 at the pace I am at now with college courses!! :D

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Im done with college at Dunwoody on June 10th. I will have my degree in Electrical Construction and Maintenance. The time I have spent here went by incredibly fast. On the subject of new students and "old" students I have noticed alot of the older people have a hard time with computers. In one of my computer classes some of the older guys didnt even know how to make the font bigger when using microsoft word.
There is always going to be dumbasses, no matter what the age is.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Graduated HS 3 years ago. Going for a MIS bachelors degree from Metro State and should be done in about 1.5 years. Might do a Masters but well see how this goes and how the market is for jobs.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

MIS huh? Thats what I'm going to school for. Hope you can find a job pretty easy so I can too ;)

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I go to Metro State too Peter (intermittantly :P ). I am a senior, but there isn't any time to finish up right now with the business taking off.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I will be graduating pretty soon here from high school. I wont be done until the 8th and I'm officially done on the 9th. Where are you graduating from BKs50trimGST?

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Thats cool Jet, yea Ive been transfering all my classes from Normandale to Metro because it works really nice that way. Normandale doesnt have 4 year degrees so thats why I went with metro to finish up, plus its nice and cheap and alot of options for night/day/online class. I live lie 2 blocks from Normandale so it was nice to not have to commute very far for the first couple of years. I can only take 1 more class at normandale that will count as a transfer before I start going full time to metro. Last fall was my first semester there and it went pretty well.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Yeah, I really like Metro. I have been doing mostly online classes lately. You get more older students there, which adds a lot to the classes. They can give you some practical experience, plus all of the instructors have worked in their fields.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I have one semester left at normandale since they messed up my schedule this last spring. I am taking business mgmt and accoubting. I am planning on transfering to metro in the spring and tripple majoring in Accounting, Business Admin. and Finance. I have all the needed transfer credits taken for those majors and plan on tripling because of how they have the core classes set up. All the core classes lead to each degree, so I only need to take an extra semester or so to triple.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I have 3 Days of HS left. yes!

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I think the REAL problem with societies youth today is that they have no true responsiblity for their actions. Everything has become "someone else's fault" that they don't have to burden themselves with the responibility of what they do. Thus they become clueless and oblivious to the world more then 2 feet away from them.

Now the disclaimer, there are always exceptions to the rule. I just see it more and more each day that the youth don't care what they do or who it affects.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

2 days of High School left, and one weekend to get my car running. LOL

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I graduated in december but it kinda sucked cause the weather was so bad and only a few other people graduated w/me. The first week I had off, I went to work but other than that, I didn't do anything other than play perfect dark and sleep 12+ hours a day. :cool:

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I am graduating from Minnetonka High School, proud to be a Skipper - best moment there was by far the Prep Bowl, Tonka Football took it all on my senior year, knew everyone on the team, and will never forget it.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Drunk bastards!

Taco's own joo!

Pizza, pizza. Pan, pan.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

So were you waterboy, male cheerleader or just a fan?

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I think we only think of HS students like we do because the number of students graduating (that have less-than-average intelligence) is outweighing the number of students. For example, the high school I graduated from received a bunch of money for academic excellence. My High school was rated at like the top 2% of publics schools in the nation for something I can't remember about. I believe this was based on the 2000-2003 school years. It just so happens that those were probably the years where the greatest number of geeks/nerds/smartasses graduated(me being one of them ;)). Those graduating classes were quite competetive because for example, the top ten GPA's in my class was based technically on a 4.6ish overall GPA (on a regular weighted scale where weighted classes were worth 5.0 points, then you have your regular classes which counterweight that overall maximum GPA) and I ranked #13 with a 4.4333 which was because of a few B's here and there. The following year's (after my class) top 10 consisted of like 4-5 "straight A" weighted GPAs which ended up pretty much being broken down technically into little things here and there which ended up into the hundreths which got their rankings. Kids like the ones in my class and the following year are quite a rare occurance nowadays at that school. This shows you how over the years, the students have cared less and less about their education, or........... maybe these kids are just unable to understand educational concepts now. I don't remember where I was going with all this, because I've been writing this reply within a 3 hour timespan, so yeah, Bleh. Happy Graduations young'ns.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

See, Cher is a perfect example. He ranked #13 in his class and seems to have no knowledge of anything besides Jason Mraz and wheel dish. And what kind of BS is having a GPA over 4.0? Sound like the school was artificially inflating the grades to get federal funding. Especially if Cher had such a high GPA. :)

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

He meant out of the 12 point scale. ;) Our high school was out of the 12 point scale and I have never heard of the 5 point scale. My schools never gave out A+.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Also, at our school there were many people with a 12.0 gpa so there was no real smartest student. If you got 1 B, you would drop many gpa points. I was in the middle of my class rank (600 students) and I had a B+ average.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

See, we didn't have +'s or -'s. It's a pretty fair system if you think about it because it separates the students that are actually taking challanging classes from the ones taking "normal" classes. The AP classes were the weighted classes. My valedictorian got straight A's throughout the years and I just backed off his ass after sophomore year because I didn't wanna become a super geek. He also passed all the AP tests and ended up getting into med school 2 years early. Another thing in my class was there were two students that scored perfects on their ACTs and SATs, so they bumped up our school avg a little bit. The year before and after mine had super high ACT/SAT scores also. School is school. I don't know how someone couldn't graduate high school. You'd have to be: A. very unintelligent B. messed up in the head and skip a bunch of school C. a very slow learner D. All of the above

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I believe we had a few students, in my graduating class, at Mounds View HS ... I want to say 6... that scored perfect on their ACT and SAT tests.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

I would like to say BS as I believe there were only 2 kids in the state that aced one of the tests. I believe one of them went to mnnetonka and I think it was the SAT. There is a kid who I work with who still lives in HS even though he has graduated.

I graduated Normandale in May getting an AA degree with emphasis in Accounting.

Peter- How many semesters did you take at Normandale?

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

They keep changing the SAT to try to keep the overall average scores up to make it look like the US education system isn't a mess. You don't have to do perfect on the SAT to get a perfect score either.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

IM graduating from rosemount High school with a 2.54 and i scored a 29 on my ACT, this to say, homework is how much you try, and do homework. AP classes are more in a sense like college. Due to having a 70% weighted grade on tests. And like 10% on homework, I really love taking AP classes! HAHA...

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

LOL. I don't remember which one I took but I got through the reading section, 1/2 way through science and got pretty bored/hungry and it was near noon, so I just said I was done and left. Still scored average too.

I remember how everyone was freaking out over these test, not worth it. I did however freak out/work my butt off for some certification tests some years later though.

Re: Who's graduating from HS or done with College?
 

Ditto, A+, N+, MCSE 2000......
