Explain to me how anyone will get a head doing stuff the legit way in school?
You are only young once and going through these grades one time only. Years from now, you can't go back to do it the right way. If the class doesn't excite you, find ones that do. No teacher or parent has the time to sit on every kid and make sure that you do all the assignments properly. Some of us may be really brilliant and not need to study hard at all. Others will struggle. The current public school system averages everyone out. That said, it is up the individual to get a good attitude and apply themselves properly. You need to evaluate the system, challenge yourself and come out a better person for it. It's too bad that there are courses and teachers out there that don't inspire all of their students to do great things. I do think doing the assignment properly has merit. Writing a paper teaches you to gather what you've learned, focus and summarize it on paper. It's like the exercise of anyone who has ever written one of the fine tech articles for this forum. It just proves that you know your stuff. An undisciplined mind is a terrible waste. Reading how many in here have studied martial arts, well it is the same thing. Discipline, focus and control. Writing a paper is not bad if approached with the right attitude. Make an outline and fill it out with paragraphs. That's it.
It's almost like you think that it's uncool to do things the right way. Feeling rebellious? :roll:
