I think school is more priority. Get your education.

The EMT course is my elective. So I am still taking English, history, math and science courses. I figured that EMS is something I want to do, and if I get the opportunity to learn more about it then I should take it.

I could be taking free periods with my time as well, but instead I decided to take this course. So I am actually getting more of an education than most kids in my grade...

at my school it is, well we go to the high school and get on a bus that takes us to a technical school, then after 2nd block we get back on the bus and go back to the high school to finish out the rest of our day. the state is allowing the classes as a trial class. its pretty cool. i dont think its offered in any of the other states, but it might be. i haven't really read that much into it.

That sounds a lot like what my school offers... but due to the block schedule I start in January.

Okay, as a 16 year old, let me ask you guys something:

We're allowed to be tried as adults in the court of law, but we can't be EMT's?

The teenage EMT's I know don't take calls that horrible. Or I don't know, maybe its just that I live in a really boring town. But nonetheless, you are making generalizations about teenagers that are, for the most part not true.

Damn "preps" and "ghetto kids" make us all look bad. But they aren't the ones going out saving people's lives.

And someone mentioned swearing... have you ever been to a public school?
