“I can’t work this hard now to be happy in the future. That’s unreasonable.”
Wait until they try doing it while working full time. Then they’ll see just how reasonable it was.
Also, I do wonder if Mrs. Whitewolf knows one of the interviewees of this report.
If they get to learn at this point that one’s approach to life requires that you treat a balance of factors as if they were an equasion, then good for them.
I took AP classes in high school. There is a simple trick – don’t get in over your head, and stop whining. Take one class if you can’t handle more than that. It’s not that hard. I don’t remember being completely overwhelmed like these crybabies. In fact, the workload was not much more than any other fairly aggressive class, which is what I ALWAYS took.
If the students aren’t getting the guidance they need, well, that is a different issue.
Can’t watch the video yet, so maybe I’ll be posting an edit later.
To be fair, some of us young folk have a dim view of future prospects -esp. when you president says if you make over $Xthousand you should share some of your wealth with the .gov- so trying to seek some happiness now is understandable.
Ha! Just watched the video — my brother went to Acalanes high school. He didn’t whine. Well, he whined about commuting to high school because we were living outside the district, but he didn’t whine about the academics that I recall.
“I can’t work this hard now to be happy in the future. That’s unreasonable.â€
Ah, yes, the mantra of the instant-gratification generation…
“Vote Democrat. It’s easier than working.”
