<p>now i’m just a dumb kid.</p>
<p>how do i go about telling my parents it’s their fault for creating a stupid kid?
can i sue my public school system for not preparing me for college?</p>
<p>I’ve often wondered that, about suing schools for inadequate preparation. I bet it’s doable.</p>
<p>um did u not get in to any college? or do you feel unprepared for the one your going to. either way, you should look at yourself in a positive light and strive to do your best. Also success in school is not a direct correlation to success in life, so dont be so hard on yourself.</p>
<p>Another question: Why are lawsuits the solution to every problem?</p>
<p>riptide88 is right, many many succesful people never finished college… like Steve Jobs, who told Stanford graduates that finding what you love doesn’t necessarily require a college degree, and he also told them to stay young and foolish–Stanford students were told this!! Of course, they probably don’t respect the likes of Steve Jobs who dropped out of Reed College… he’s just a fluke! :p</p>
<p>Amie, This is America. In this country, when we have a problem, we cheer ourselves up by extorting money from people. That’s just what we do.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because nobody knows how to take the blame themselves anymore.</p>
<p>LOL to sweetnsarah, and why then, OP, is your sn “school is cool”?</p>
<p>just work with what you have - we all do
can’t sue anyone if you cannot prove you’re right (so how can you prove that your school made you dumb?)</p>
<p>Suing (sp?) ur school because ur not smart? Grow up.</p>
<p>did all of you not realize he’s probably joking around? Does that really sound serious?</p>
<p>If the school did not follow the curriculum assigned by the district he may have an argument. But, playing devils advocate, it’s the responsibility of the parents to make sure the minors education is adequate. If they have not filed a complaint with the school or even voiced dissatisfaction, then he probably doesn’t have a case.</p>
<p>Seeing as how both probably didn’t happen, he doesn’t have a case.</p>
<p>The most prominent cause of doing poorly in high school is not a measure of intelligence, but rather laziness.</p>
<p>It’s not their fault.</p>
<p>Well there was that one kid who sued his school for giving summer school work…that was weird.</p>
<p>to the OP:</p>
<p>The only suit you can make is against yourself.</p>
<p>I bet my life that you never worked as hard as you could, and now you are going to pay the price.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>He’s clearly joking. People seriously need to READ THE ENTIRE THREAD before posting.</p>
<p>thank god you said that. I was beginning to think I was the idiot for thinking he was kidding.</p>
<p>Every kid get screwep up by their parents</p>
<p>I realized that about my sophomore year, and i decided to take the lead in rasing myself (not monetarily though, cash is cash).</p>
<p>The education system failed me as well. I was feeling dumber by the day back in high school.</p>
<p>So I dropped out. Best thing I ever did. I recommend it! I’m now taking classes at community college and preparing to transfer to a university.</p>
<p>Wow…way to take a sarcastic comment and beat it like a dead horse, guys…</p>
<p>A little humor here?</p>
