Ten Rules Kids Won't Learn in School
1. Life is not fair. Get used to it.2. The real world won't care as much about your self-esteem as your school does.
3. Sorry, you won't make $40,000.00 a years right out of high school, and you won't be a vice president or have a car phone either.
4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents called it opportunity.
6. It's not your parents' fault if you mess up. You're responsible.
7. Before you were born, your parents weren't boring. They got that way paying your bills and listening to you.
8. Life is not divided into semesters, and you don't get summers off, not even spring break. You are expected to show up every day for eight hours, and you don't get a new life every 10 weeks.
9. Smoking does not make you look cool.
10. In some schools, you're given as many chances as you want to get the answer right. Standards are set low enough so everyone can meet them. This, of course, bears not the slightest resemblance to anything in real life - as you will find out.
