Gut: We've been dead for a while.
Spill: We are so consumed with making grades (some of us are) that we don't learn anything anymore. We memorize information mindlessly for a test on something we often don't even care about, all for a GPA that doesn't suck. The standards we try to achieve are based on what's been drilled into us, but what about our own standards? Learning is only worth something if you apply it. We need to wake up and determine for ourselves where we're going, not where they say we should go. We've been dead for a while, and I'm tired of it.
I totally agree! Our school system is getting worse and worse, and we are losing our sense of real goals. What happens in real life with this kind of system in place? What do people live for?
