There's only one GOOD reason for being there -- to learn. If you are there for any other reason, you're a wimp, you're a waster, you're a clown, a playah -- all things your teachers have thought, but couldn't say out loud!!!!
NOW, you're asking the right question. It's about time.
First, society depends on people with brains to make sure it runs right. Don't like something about the world? Some empty head can't change things for the better -- just for the worse.
OKAY, say you don't want to make a difference, say you just want to live a good life. The ticket to that life is education.
NOT if you don't have the grades to be accepted to a college.
Say what?!?!
I've got news for you -- that teacher is getting paid. She'd like you to learn, but she's getting paid either way. There's one person you hurt when you waste your time and don't learn. Yeah, YOU...
QUIZ TIME
NOT that many class clowns go on to make a living at it. Most are stuck in minimum wage jobs making the fries girl laugh.
ALMOST everything worthwhile is hard. You can do hard things; never forget that.
WELCOME to the real world. There will be bosses you don't like either. All the more reason to develop the skills that will let YOU make the choices some day.
