Whats wrong with our school programs

Our school system sucks pretty bad I would say. I don't know everything about it so I'm not going to act like I do but in my opinion some things just need to change. First off starting school at 8 o'clock for highschool and 9 for elementry schoolers? really? The kids that get up and run around at 6 in the morning get the most time in the morning while teenagers like myself who actually enjoy sleep get less time in the morning. I guerantee that if school went from 10-4:45 instead I would pay attention a lot better and be way more energetic and ready for the day. Like on 2 hour delays I much better simply because I got way more sleep. On to a much larger topic involving the school system...

WHY do I have to take all these stupid required classes like chemistry, Algebra 2, LA 10 etc. The reason I get from teachers is that oh well its for people who dont really know what they want to do so mabey one of these classes will spark their interest in something. Or its to get a better education and become a more well rounded person. WOW what a load of crap. I know teachers hear this a lot but I REALLY will not need to know ANY of this crap. I think that schools should only require up to the algebra 1 level in math and students should only have to understand the english language in LA none of this shakespeare bullcrap. After the requirements classes should be o fully ptional on what you want to take and their should be more career oriented classes that actually prepare students for their future. A second thing homework. I mean really? why? I come to school to work and than I go home to relax. I go to school 5 days of the week and I get 2 free days. On top of that ratio you also want me to take home work from school? What is the point of it? Most all teachers base most of their grades on homework and this is just ridiculous. All this does is reward students for getting something pointless done. wooo you completed a worksheet, you could have copied it or bullshited it. Grades should soley be based on class participation and knowledge of the material. The occasional take home project is alright but homework is just pointless. alright I'm going to stop ranting now.
