Lol of course!

There's good kids at every school tbh. But this new one is one of the best and it's a public school for the arts so kids have to audition for it

public school for the arts

-_-

 

[Funerary_Doom]

@arg I don't get it. What's wrong with that?

They're not going to be the next Picasso or anything but it's more for the social aspect I think. A lot of them actually end up going to specialized high schools

 

[arg]

that stuff triggers me but im gonna hold back to not be banned lol

 

[Funerary_Doom]

@arg well, now I'm curious so you have to explain

just explain I'm not going to get mad, this time

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I think the gist of it is that everything that isn't STEM is useless and will doom you to a life of working at McDonald's.

@arg well, now I'm curious so you have to explain

tl;dr arg thinks the money spent on those kids could be better spent on strippers.

I'd like to know more about this school. I work with people who have physical and mental disabilities and I find it very rewarding.

D...do black metal vocals do anything?

Haha, I've not tried high pitched screams. I don't mean to growl, it's just when I shout that's how it comes out and I don't know how to stop it!

 

[arg]

such retards

many taxes

much waste

arts useless

no STEM

lifetime welfare

wow

 

[Dak]

arg thinks of people in terms of consumption/production units. Homoeconomicus with a whore habit. Give em one vice you know.

 

[Vilden]

I went to public art school, and I make more money than you @arg .

Same. And for sure it is. I can message you about it sometime. Really cool approach to helping title 1 kids (low income kids) and kids with disabilities. No nonsense in the hallways either, really well runned.

Re: art being useless discussion
It's really not. Hobbies are totally important. And what better hobby to have than something like playing an instrument or painting. I mean we ARE on a forum about metal.... So.... Yeah, don't get it but yolo.

edit: most schools don't have a cool stem project. I think if a school was focused on stem it wouldn't be that successful depending on the area. Kids want to feel like the people on tv. Sports and arts work at least for the younger ones. Need something that they care about to help motivate them. If you tell them "I'm taking away your stem project if you don't do well in your academics!" they'd start acting up to get it taken away

There are two types of students in this world: Art students and real students

I'll have to disagree to some degree. My wife is getting a fine arts degree and she has to do a ton of work (more so than what I see a lot of general humanities majors put in). It's just not "intellectual", although they try to throw a veneer of intellectualism over it with a bunch of Lacanian etc bullshit mixed in where possible.

I was being half facetious

 

[tagradh]

Someone totally dismissing any and all non-STEM study is a pretty good indicator that they're nowhere near as smart as they think they are. They're probably a stupid cunt that could do with having a few teeth knocked out.

 

[The Ozzman]

I studied Finance which is non-STEM (which I assume means Science Tech Engineering Math)

 

[Baroque]

The arts are absolutely valuable for several reasons, they're just rarely financially viable as a career. Kids with well to do parents should definitely pursue the arts and keep them alive.
