Wow, she did great. Very good to see that some people see what's wrong with our education system.

[missliz06]

Yes! Thank you for this! I'm glad you mentioned how people memorize instead of learn. My professor constantly tells us this. We were programmed to memorize everything instead of learn it, so we never get anywhere because we know nothing. Good speech.

@DarkPrinceNH5570 Human beings were not put on earth to go to school and work for 90% of their lives I cant believe you put that comment school is the most unimportant thhing in this world. Life is about passion and helping out fellow humans instead we are put in school and we are forced to work which only makes people unkind. Do some research on this or watch the movie "thrive" it will really open your eyes and inspire you to be a better person.

You all need to learn the basics. So I suggest you atleast pay attention.

What years of schooing do I cherish the most?

ELEMENTRY school was so awesome. Im serious... Middle School and High School was the same. lake havasu arizona is so gay why would you want to goto school or socialize with a bunch of dumbasses? I feel sorry for the ones that moved there too and didnt like it.

I remember who they are. Because they all went into the MILITARY. Even some hot chick went in.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

Those of you that work so hard. And find out later on how your life turned out and you cry about it (I bet mostly women).

Then you have people like me, who cherish what I did instead of doing college but still learn shit going around "SCHOOLING".

What do I want to do in life? I want my mother fucking inheritance bloodline money.

From there on I will micromanage my own shit. People just dont know how shit works I guess? They try to understand people like me but FAIL at it.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

This is stupid.

I dont know why Im commenting on this.

You all do know why we goto school? THE MAIN REASON why we goto school?

I will give you a hint. It starts with "SOCIALIZATION". College is the same way I bet but different style.

Dont read my other comments at YALE graduation with Tom Hanks speech.

I see through most of this shit. Its not really REAL but just trust me, when you see how the REAL world is. You will cry your eyes out on that hard 4.0 GPA you worked for.

Beautiful.

I want to shake her, and her parents' hands... FOREVER.

I'm sure the reason she wasn't cut off a couple minutes into her speech was because the automatons in the administration didn't even understand her point behind it.
