Now, may I say that being a hater of school is not something that makes you cool. Maybe it does make you one of the crowd, but life is not a war between you and school. School is simply something that a lot of grown-ups spend a lot of money on, and a lot of teachers spend their whole life on, to make sure that a lot of kids won't go through <em><u>their</u></em> whole life stupid. You can learn everything you ever want to know there, and it's all free. That's a pretty good deal.
