Posted 13 Jan 2013 I think that we need to put way more money into our education system. Take some of the absolutely ridiculous amount of money we put into the military and put that into our schools. Just throwing that out there. Because the federal government involving itself in state and local matters invariably winds up being nothing more than a huge waste of money that sets a precedent for the federal government involving itself in other state and local matters, perpetuating a vicious cycle of waste and mismanagement.

Posted 13 Jan 2013 I just thought I'd mention, I dunno if I wanna go to Scotland for studying abroad anymore. It seems too easy. Does that make sense? I mean if I REALLY wanted to go abroad somewhere where they still spoke english, I could go to New Zealand, right? And I won't deny it, there's a part of me that really thinks going to India or even Israel might be cool. I'm just mentioning this because when I said "HEY I WANNA GO TO SCOTLAND" a lot of you sent me messages like "WHAT REALLY" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2013 (edited) I think that if you're going to go somewhere to learn, it's probably best to be able to communicate pretty well with the locals Also you can chill with Cas and Teto Edited 13 Jan 2013 by Dark_One (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 Jan 2013 I think that if you're going to go somewhere to learn, it's probably best to be able to communicate pretty well with the locals Also you can chill with Cas and Teto This was my original point, yeah, but I talked around about it and from what I understand, when you go abroad, it's supposed to be more about the experience than anything, you know? A friend of mine is going to israel over the summer on her once in a life time free I'm-a-jew-let-me-in pass, too. YEAH KNUCKLE THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2013 I almost went to Germany with a class once :< Dad backed out like a month before the money was due, saying that he'd only pay his half if I were the one to earn it, not have it payed for by my mom. This was the summer after 10th grade, I was 15. How are you going to expect a 15 year old to earn $1500 in a month? That's something that could lead to selling drugs :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2013 Now on my list of places I'm considering: New Zealand, South Korea, Italy, France. Italy and France because they're well known for art schools, South Korea because they have lots of emphasis on technical skill and basically have a lot of industry in the field I want to go into, and New Zealand because apparently they have a really nice art school there according to the brochures I have. Not to mention the fact that the LOTR films being filmed there has definitely taken it's toll on the industry and studios there, which apparently makes them very experienced and et cetera.
