Programming class

it's quite simple. i learned VB C++ and C# on my own(but i dont know them perfectly)

Exactly.  Learning on your own is always simple because you move at your own pace.  When you're in a classroom environment, however, you're often forced to move at a pace that is not synonymous with your own.  This often causes frustration, discomfort and a seemingly less productive learning environment.

Contrasty, in a independent study-type environment, you are more comfortable with the material presented to you (by yourself) because you have more time to cover reliant subjects.

But, you also get distracted easily.. Or atleast I do.  But, when I am in class I am very focused.

I would LOVE to have a teacher. Even the stupidest one. Independent learning is quite difficult...

I agree.. Except I wouldn't want a stupid teacher.

Not when you have a curriculum you have to complete in order to receive a grade.

I wouldn't.  Teachers piss me off when they try to teach me computer stuff.

Sidoh ?

I get distracted when I try and work alone.. When a grade doesn't matter.

But, when a grade does matter, I work a lot better..  That is why I like doing it in school.

You realize that there are independent study courses in school when you get a grade, don't you?  That's why I said 'you develop a curriculum with a teacher.' =P

Ah!! I see.  At our school they don't incourage that.  So, I kinda forgot about them.. :)

Those kinds of things never work for me.

Most schools do.  It kinda creates a lot more work for a teacher.
