High School VS. College!

By the time you get to high school you've heard at least 95% of your teachers in middle school say, "We're trying to prepare you for the real world. Once you get to high school, teachers don't baby you or care what you do. It's you who needs the education, not them" But then you get to high school and the office requires you to have an excuse if your absent. You still get detention, just like in elementary. They think by giving you a three hour detention, you'll learn about what you did wrong but students don't. They spend time in detention thinking why did i get caught, i rather be sleeping, and so on . . .Teachers still track you down for your missing assignment and expect you to do them so you'll pass. So there was never any feel of a college experience. Once you get to college, is when the real word hits you right in the face. If you don't do your work it's okay your paying anyway! You can talk all you want, the teacher continues with their lesson and will see next semester again. Now that I'm in college, real word has maybe hit me in the face more than once. It took the last hit to realize  that if I don't pick it up, I'm not going to end up dropping out or being in the same course tell i get it together.
