A place where reluctant children and teens go to learn and do classwork. Often it is a target of insult being called "Hell" "Prison" etc. Of course many of these people don't understand what they have and are too ignorant to see that if they were in differant circumstances they would wish for an education instead of a life of dull physical work. Sure school could be related to that dull physical work but of course it does open oppurtunities to get of it. You just have to get through 12 years.
"At home my parents are strict. They don't let me have a life because they think I'm gonna go and get into trouble, like drugs and other stuff. They don't even know that I'm not that stupid. I like school not because of the stupid work and teachers, but because it's the only place where I can see my friends. Overprotective parents suck."

Get the School mug.PSYCHOLOGY: This involves talking about rats and dreams. Psychologists are obsessed with rats and dreams. I once spent an entire semester training a rat to punch little buttons in a certain sequence then training my roommate to do the same thing. The rat learned much faster. My roommate is now a doctor. If you like rats or dreams and above all if you dream about rats you should major in psychology.

Get the School mug.A place where people who like to learn are beaten into submission by thug-like jocks who think "algebra and geometry is useless" and then talk about how "lucky" I am at high school reunions to have a hot wife, cool cars and more than six times the median family income.

Get the school mug.A specific era in hiphop history. There have been many discussions about the difference between the "Old School" and the New School". One accepted view was put to words in alt.rap by Charles L. Isbell:
All of time can be divided pretty easily this way:
- Everything before "Run DMC" (Run DMC 1984)
- Everything before "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back" (Public Enemy 1988)
It gets harder after that, but maybe you'd have to label parallel movements with stuff like:
+ Everything before "Straight Outta Compton" (NWA 1988) and "Amerikkka's Most Wanted" (Ice Cube 1990) for the West Coast Gangsta Movement
+ Everything before "3 Feet High And Rising" (De La Soul 1989) and "Low End Theory" (A Tribe Called Quest 1991) for the Jazz/Bohemian Movement
Others seem to think we're about to enter the Everything before "93 'Til Infinity" (Souls of Mischief 1993) era for the Ascendency of Hieroglyphics, but I'll reserve judgement on that.
There are also several dark moments: MC Hammer ushered in the HipPop Era and Vanilla "No I really used to be rich; May I take your order?" Ice ushered in something unspeakable (Snow, if nothing else).
Hmmmmm, here's a way to pass the time: what are the key moments/movements and what albums/artists best represent them? How have they influenced the direction of rap? Making no value judgements, I'd have to say that the four most influential hiphop moments/movements are the ones I listed above and for obvious reasons.

Get the school mug.The place where people are "educated". It is disliked by the majority of the younger population and exactly how much learning takes place is questionable. This is mainly because the curriculum heavily emphasizes logic and reasoning while the natural creativity and imagination of the students' young minds are neglected.
Although most schools offer electives for this reason, students often find their schedules too tight with mandatory courses and are unable to fit in these electives.
The mandatory classes vary with the school's location, but they usually consist of mathematics, science, English, and social science. The purpose of these classes focus more on the memorization of facts than actual learning. Learning does take place, but how much a student learns is dependent on the teacher, not the curriculum.
