I think that if teachers at my school got to the point quicker, then I wouldn't have to be there for around six hours.

Saying something is boring is one's definition, not a fact.  Facts can't be argued, opinions can.

Ofcourse school is boring, I dont learn anything from school, but I learn a lot from staying home researching from my computer, I have most of my knowledge from my computer, not from boring memorization.

  If you're NOT a text book molesting turbonerd then yes school it boring. Appearantly someone enjoys school. I'm sure teachers don't become teachers because they love the crappy salary. They must like school. Either that or they flunked out of everything else so they decided to become a teacher. Maybe they never want to grow up. So they figure once they graduate from college they could jump right back into school, so they never have to leave. Since their lifestyle never changes they can be a teenager forever.

Although I was often bored, I generally liked school. At that time I stil saw my friends regularly. That only happens once or twice a year now.

  Yeah, remember you had your cartoon character endorsing book bag loaded with crayons, paste, bugar rags and whatever else they issue kindergartners. You were all excited, you arrived to class, but it wasn't as fun as you imagined it would be. Later you peed your pants and everybody laughed at you.

It's a study on opinion, no more than a customer satisfaction poll. Just like the 30000 threads everyday posted here asking OMG SUTS TEH BESTEST GAIM 2 GET??? or IS GAME-X BETTER THAN GAME-Z??? The answers are nothing more than the opinions of the people asked and answering. Now, to say that there are very clear and defined reasons why students are finding school to be boring is entirely factual and hte article lists some of them. No teacher interraction Uninteresting subject matter Lack of class participation All very true but complaining about it in a damned quasi-news article isn't going to change anything. Neither is telling someone class is boring if that someone isnt a teacher. Kids, TELL your teacher if it's boring, just freekin' tell them. They can't do anything to you anyways! Perminant record? FAH! A myth. Detention? Psshhh....I never showed up for a single one in HS. But the rewards for LEARNING are limitless. Think about how far in life the guy behind the counter of MC D's is going to go, now think about how far he went in school. Chances are he sat in the back of class stewing about how boring it was but never said a word.

look, its hs.. its general education. not everyone is going to find every subject enthralling, regardless of the quality of the teacher. suck it up, learn while you're there, if you dislike the subject, do not pursue it further after high school.

It is if you get paid to do something you enjoy :D Just one of the many many perks of doing well in school and getting the most out of the education given to you. The pay check is nice too.

I always thought school was boring. Always will. Never knew why I went back to college. I thought I'd show those who didn't think it was that they did a study on it.

What's your GPA? Be honest.

  I don't know, I didn't care, I had Mostly C's some & B's if that helps, by high school I had almost all D's, but that's not a fair question, because I skipped a lot of classes, randomly guessed on several tests and only turned in homework when I felt like it.And half of that I just guessed because I didn't feel like reading. I didn't even show up to my high school graduation. I don't remember where I was that evening. I don't recommend my study habits. Being a studious person isn't a bad thing, but useless facts bore most students.

  Grade average proves what? I didn't apply myself? I didn't excercise my full potential? Woops!! You caught me. My IQ score was 140.

  I could have earned scholarships, but the depression and laziness just lowered goals to the realm of just passing high school. I was fed up with middle school, I was disgusted with high school and I didn't want to go to college. Never dreamed of being anything. Didn't want money nor fame. I didn't care what people thought of me, I still don't. I never had any goals. The only thing that keeps going is curiosity or the fact that I can't sleep anymore or I have to get up. Far from ambition. School wasn't hard. Studying requires time, I didn't have the patience nor the time.

  Trying to figure out the meaning of life has driven me insane, because there is no meaning. I'm not egotistical so I don't have a monetary motive. I don't want to know anything.Why? I ask people why they do what they do and their answer is either "I don't know" or just a confused look. THAT'S what I want. That general stupidity. They are zombies. I want to be like that. No logic, just some natural driving force, like an attraction.
