So, you liked school when it was easy?

Judging by your grammar and spelling, I can guess why you aren’t crazy about school.

Do you know why they don’t just sit you in a circle and ask you to apply critical thinking to complex problems? Because you don’t actually know anything, yet. If solving the simple problems on your math exam stress you out, then there is no point in talking about world hunger.

You can’t apply critical thinking, because you haven’t learned how to do it. Don’t feel bad, though; most teachers don’t know how to do it, either.

It only gets harder from here. Maybe you should consider whether you even want to go to college. For many, it is a waste of time and money.
