Top Ten Reasons Why....

Let's face it. We all (at least those of us under the age of eighteen) wonder why we have to go to school. And a few nights ago, while procrastinating an algebra assignment, I came up with a list of reasons why. Here you go:

The Top Ten Reasons to Go to School

1. Someday, you could go on Jeopardy and win big because of your eighth grade history class.

2. You'll need to be able to tell your grandkids how difficult school was when you were young if they ever complain about their classes.

3. You need to know something to impress the in-laws.

4. Two words: truancy officers.

5. Learning how to count will give you the ability to not look like an idiot compared to the rest of society.

6. Can you say, "gets all the best bargains on Black Friday because she's been calculating percents since the seventh grade"?

7. Calculus is so fun, and if you don't learn your rational equations, you'll never get to give it a try!

8. It "builds character".

9. Everyone loves memorizing all the dates of the battles in World War One, especially since nobody knows why it actually started...

10. And last but not least, the only reason that summer is any fun is because it's time away from school. So if there was no school, we would have summer all the time and everyone would be really sunburned, bored to tears, and entirely fed up with watching re-runs of Little House On The Prairie.

Thanks for listening!
