Top 10 reasons "Why Evolutionists are Brainless"
You need cursive so you can have a signature. We sign our name to many important documents (Social security card, marriage license, Mortgage, Job applications, pretty much everything, etc…) with your own distinct signature. It is important for identification purposes. But don't worry, in the future once cursive is gone you can just have a microchip implanted for identification purposes… I'm sure nothing bad will come of that…
So far it seems no matter what I do I will almost always get a C in all my classes while in college. Yet in highschool most classes, I would get A's what has become of my life.
The first one is a lie. No school has ever taught that. I didn't continue, so I cannot comment on the rest of this video,
Ehh, college is overrated
TOP 10 THINGS ABOUT STEPHEN HAWKING!
…and the Earth is round due to the curvature of the cockroach shells.
Where's "Oxygen came from tree"?
I rather see the food pyramid one
They don’t prepare you for 17 children getting shot and killed in school
So, how do you write a letter to someone who doesn't have a computer for email or a cell phone for messaging. And those who think English isn't a hard language to learn should ponder those who comment and don't know which "to, two, too," or "there, their, they're," to use? Good list though!
Another one is that there are 3 states of matter. There are 4.
"Many people believed the Earth was round during Columbus his time"
By being burnt at the stake?
English a hard language to learn? Lol, it is one of the easiest. Dutch is one of the hardest, since we use sound no other language does + our 'speech' language has no rules involved, so we may say anything….but our writing language does, and to write correct you need to know the correct terms which you could omly know by living here for years…so yeah…
College transistion, well, that is basically all around the world. In the Netherlands, the big hbos(colleges) and universities just offer lessons in class or conference, but besides that you are given the date on which you have the test and they say "do it yourselves" which is very real world.
But yeah, USA high schools work with a grade-system rather than individual based most European countries use like Germany, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, etc.
Individual based: You are put in a category which offers your level of education or talents.
Earth is flat
I've literally never heard anyone anywhere ever say that Columbus discovered the earth was round.
nobody ever told me about the sky not school or uncle
Teachers hate Wikipedia because they're jealous of it
10th was just simple physics
Only # 3 and 6 was taught to me in School.
#1 That the Holocaust is the worst genocide in history and that the Nazis were the worst political party in world history. The Holocaust was possibly the 4th largest genocide in the 20th century. The max estimates for the Chinese Great Leap Forward, the Russian Holodomor, and the Chinese Cultural Revolution were all larger than the Holocaust. And Communism is the most deadly and destructive ideology in world history, yet we were taught absolutely none of the many communist genocides that happened throughout world history. The Holodomor, the Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward, the Killing Fields in Cambodia, the Red Terror in the USSR, the Ethiopian Red Terror, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam…. communism is the worst ideology ever formed, and we were taught nothing of it in school. No wonder so many stupid college kids love it so much
EARTH IS FLAT
I love it when teachers get angry just because a kid proved that they were wrong.
Because m mostly wikipedia said this is mostly bullshit of a list.
#8 only americans would learn this lol
I've learned more from TV than from school.
I didn't know that. Thank you watchmojo!
You forgot number one – that Jesus Christ was a real person.
I had to flag this video as misleading.
So many Billy Madison scenes.
Bleep bleep, blurp blurp
Cursive has been used for centuries up to today. Abandoning it literally cuts us off from our history.
Are you serious? They seriously used to tell people that sky is blue because of the ocean? Where? How did this happen? xD lol there is more.. Where are they teaching you this?
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Stephen Hawkins just died
How Cleopatra is not Egyptian though? She is the daughter of Pharaohn…
School isn't a place for smart people- Rick Sanchez
So WRITING cursive may seem useless, but reading it will always remain very useful.
