Why the fuck is the top tier swiss high school so incredibly retarded? 10% actually do High School in Switzerland btw, most do apparentice. I went and failed 4 years ago.
You basicly have like a billion subjects in one year (Including: Sports (athletics), Arts (Drawing), Music (fucking learning to identfy Notes), History (boring parts of history with even more boring teacher), Geoglogy (I shit you not we learnd about fucking rocks), Chemics (which was okay I guess, at least it makes sense), German (learing to fucking identfy words and times with retarded latin names), French (which is just a badly designed language), English (which is actually important), Math and Geometry (which kinda makes sense as aswell even though it was broing as balls), economics (which I sucked at and was basicly just accounting), Physics (which was easy as hell) and Biology (which was boring as shit)).
If I actually got to the next year I'd also have had religion and ethics classes.
Every single one of those has an indivdual grade which counts equally. You have to have an average score of at least 4.0 (max is 6.0 min is 1.0) over all of them, have a 5.0 in at least 2 of them and you cannot be below 4.0 in more than 3.
I sucked at Music, Drawing, Arts, Biology and French. And I wasn't particularyly good in any other subject and therefore never made into the next year.
The only subject we had that dind't go towards your final score was IT by the way, because everyone needs to differentiate a Gneis from a Pebble but nobody ever needs to use a Computer.
The only things I'm good at are English (although not back then, IT, and Writing text).
When my Father went to exactly the same school I went he only had Maths, Englisch, French, German, Biology and History.
So what happend? People whis chidlren sucked at real subjects like the ones above, kept bitching that their irrelevant talents should be counted aswell.
Fuck Swiss High School

Dumbass. That curriculum is about equivalent to American high school, and far more than 10% finish high school.

I thought I was done with memes but this made me change my mind
>>53457227
No it sin't, maybe I should've called it Gymnasium, but I called it High School, so murricans knew what I was talking about.
Also the curriculum is diffenret from canton to canton, but I'm pretty sure the difficulty differs a lot from Switzerland, even if you have the same subjects, since Gymansium here really is only for the Elite, while everyone does High SSchool in America.
Also heres the actual Numbers:

Art, music, history, chemistry, english, latin, economics, biology, history (american->world), algebra and geometry were all required subjects at my high school. German/French and geology were electives. It sucked, but I couldn't imagine getting a C in three subjects at once.

Pretty much this.
>>53457443
All withoin the same year?
>>53457422
I'm aware that Gymnasium is basic college prep. I'm saying that American high school is the same way. You don't have the option to take up trades and apprenticeships until after high school, and you can't drop out of school until you're 16, but most people don't.
>>53457608
Well in America far more people do University or college, While in Switzerland the Majorty stop after they finish their internship at 20, or do a so calle dFachohschule for 3 years after that.
In Switzerland they can make it a lot harder since only the elite goes through this stuff.
I just think its retarded that even if I would've just wanted to study IT, I'd still have had to go through all these retarded subjects even though I had I didn't choose an artsy gym profile.
tl;dr

Swiss dude too fucking stupid for school. Comes do /int/ to cry about it.
>>53457865
Except the dumbest Swiss is probably ten times smarter than the Smartest American.
>>53458608
Most Swiss are just smart enough to ring cowbells at ski competitions. Their country was long ago taken over by rich foreigners
>>53457129
Heh
> "economics which was basically accounting"
they aren't the same you retard.
>>53456687
Geology is not useless, knowing the habits of minerals and differentiating gneiss from granite can save your life. Admit it, you're just not smart enough to finish high school

Sorry mate but it's not very good
