Why School Sucks

[dwarfdude3]

My rant on school:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I edited some of this so that I wouldn't come off as arrogant and mean, and so that people can get a better understanding of what I'm talking about)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First off, lemmie say that my school isn't nearly as bad as most others are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry if some of this stuff may sound kind of boring as you read it, but if you read the whole thing, you will understand the idea and point of this much more clearly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me start off with an example. In my cafeteria, we have round tables. So tables start and some get really full eventually. It really ticks me off to see people eat their food in their freaking lap while trying to squeeze into the 'cool kids table'. Is it really so hard to sit by yourself? I don't find it that bad, sometimes some actual friends come and sit with me, not people who only care about being better than everyone else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

moving on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets see, how about...dating. Basically high school dating is used as a method of climbing the social ladder. People get girlfriends for 1 of 2 reasons: 1. they hope to have some form of sex with her, or 2. they hope that other people will think that one is 'cooler' now that he has a girlfriend.

 

 

 

I've gotten so pissed that I don't even want a freaking girlfriend anymore, they are all the same, its not like anyone would date me anyway. Aparantly being vice president of the chess club because you enjoy playing chess and taking on a leadership role automatically makes you incapable of any dating whatsoever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not even gonna start on high school dances, theres another thread for that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What else...oh of cource. Teachers. Some teachers can be complete [developmentally delayed]s. I'm not saying I'm smarter than them. I am not really the brightest kid in the school. It is the way they teach that makes them [developmentally delayed]s. For example. In Chemistry, we were learning about moles (a sort-of conversion factor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28unit%29).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What better way to learn about moles than to....make a stuffed animal mole! wow, and we can take up a whole class period presenting our moles, with stories we make up about the life of our mole. Oh, and each mole must have a theme of cource, because students love being creative... :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya, that project was worth 50 points. Our last test was worth 70 points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty much everone is guitly. No one can say they have never been guity of these kinds of things. I used to go through this sort of phase too, but now I realize how [developmentally delayed]ed I was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Athletes, you are no better than anyone else just because you have the physical ability to beat them or look better than them.

 

 

 

Nerds, do not try to become more 'nerdy' on purpose. If you want to come to chess club, come becasue you like playing chess, not to stink up the place.

 

 

 

Goths/Emos/Punks, just stop. really. No one is gonna think any different of you by the clothes you have on.

 

 

 

Girls, don't let your emotions rule you, just because you think it is the girl thing to do. If you are attracted to a guy you know is a complete jerk, don't go out with him.

 

 

 

and I almost forgot, Teachers, you people are just as bad as some students. If you are going to teach, teach. Don't make us sit through crap and busywork that we don't need to learn at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically, school sucks.

[rushrock]

Ba. Baha. Bahahahahahaaa!!! :XD: :XD: :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why can't YOU just learn to IGNORE them?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Without school, you wouldn't even be able to write this post. That's all I'm going to say.

[Giordano]

How cool you are > Everything is sadly how it is. :notalk:

You didn't even read it did you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do ignore them, but more can be done. Why not try to change them?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is like saying 'if you have a problem with Bush or America, you can just leave!'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, you don't leave, you fight, and that is what i'm doing. I'm fighting against the system of social conformity and hoping others will join my cause. I think people would be a lot happier.

People would be a lot happier if you wrote about something that is even remotely interesting.

My rant on school:

 

 

 

Goths/Emos/Punks, just stop. really. No one is gonna think any different of you by the clothes you have on. It is by your actions that people judge you by.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why can't people just grow up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agreed with everything up to there. What gives you the [censore]ing right to judge people just by the way they look? We get pissed because jerks like you judge people in that way. SHAME ON YOU :notalk: :notalk: =;

[rushrock]

Listen to what I have to say. I can't believe I'm responding to your arrogance, but I'm going to anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. I did read EVERY SINGLE THING you wrote.

 

 

 

2. I am what you might call a "goth" or "emo". Sure, I don't believe in labels, but that's what everybody believes.

 

 

 

3. What everybody believes, however, is CRAP. The thing to do is IGNORE them, not say, "Oh, everything they say is right, and all I can do is mope around and complain to everyone." If you're mad at people, then stand up for yourself.

 

 

 

4. School is one of the most important things in the world. Don't hate it for such a juvenile reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See? I bolded the important things so even you can understand!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read that. I DON'T LIKE stereotypical "groups" of students.

I, and probably most other people here, learned to read far before going to school, age 4-6. You don't need to go to school for that (necessarily).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently you guys didn't read his post fully, it has some good points. Stop fitting in a social cliche just because "you think it's cool".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have glasses, does that automatically mean you should join the chess club? If you listen to certain bands, should you start cutting yourself and wearing funky clothes just to 'fit in a group'?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grow up and be yourselves, instead of the pathetic example in the post who squeeze in the "cool kids" dinner table and don't even have room to eat, but just be there 'for the sake of it'.

[Nadril]

When I went to school some of my friends would eat with their tray on their lap so that they could, you know, actualy socialize with their friends. None of us were "popular" by any means, so don't get into that kind of crap either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, I'm in agreement with:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People would be a lot happier if you wrote about something that is even remotely interesting.

...ok you aren't understanding me. I'm not judging you by how you look. I'm saying that one should not worry about how one looks. One should just go with the flow. Why go through all the effort to make yourself look all cool just so others might like you?

[Viktorkrum77]

Teachers have life's too. And sometimes, they have to make quick and easy time wasting lesson plans. Like you stated.

[BlueLancer]

One should just go with the flow. Why go through all the effort to make yourself look all cool just so others might like you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't agree with that though. Just 'going with the flow' and looking like a carbon copy of the next guy is even more dull than wearing 'genre-specific clothes'. There's no problem with looking individual, try going to a school that requires uniforms for students? I've never experienced that but I can imagine how boring it is.

[dangeresque]

School is only as fun as you make it...

Yeah, just wear what you want to be honest. I don't really care if you wear "whats cool" or whatever will get you to fit in, or if you wear something because you like how it looks / how it feels with it on / whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just wear clothes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unless your a girl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a hot one. :oops:

See? I bolded the important things so even you can understand!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. I posted this at 9:34 pm. You responded at 9:36 pm. There are 565 words in my little essay thing. That means you would have had to have been reading at 4.7 words per second, not including the time it took to post your responce. hmmmm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. you contradict yourself in the same point. you claim to be a 'goth' and 'emo', yet next you say you don't believe in labels. hmmmmm....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. I don't understand this point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. A juvenile reason for hating school would be something like 'its too hard', or 'I don't like working'. I thought my ideals for not liking school were rather unorthodox... Also, yes school is important, I'm not proposing like abolishing it, I'm saying people need to learn to just be themselves.

[dwarfdude3]

If a teacher fails to come up with a good leson plan, then they should be honest with the class, and say 'I don't have a lesson for you today, so we will have a free block today'. That way, the teacher can work on a decent lesson plan for next time, and students get a chance to catch up on their work. See how great honesty is?

ok, maybe I shouldn't have used the term 'going with the flow'. I meant it more as like 'be accepting of whatever happens to you' than like conforming to social groups.

You have no idea how hard it is to be a teacher do you. I'm taking a class in high school where i am the small teacher basically. I do the chores, i help students, i even have tought some lessons. Ive done everything a teacher does in the classroom. I have to actually make a detailed lesson up for part of my ending class, and this is close to what a real teacher's lesson plan has to look like. Half the other students were groaning along with me when we saw the example, its like and essay. Does a teacher want to write an essay every single day just to teacher their kids? No. Sometimes its easier to come up with lesson plans on the go, and maybe your teacher made the lesson because they planing to use this in someway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I decided to actually post something relating to the original post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

School does not suck. Through your prosective, you have only seen negatives, when there are many positives. You get to learn stuff that will help you later in life, you get to hang with friends and see them, you meet new people.

 

 

 

This thing about people being in groups... well its a need.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure its a very high need, but being accepted into a group is part of esteem needs, and if everyone has the below needs, its fine if they try to meet their esteem needs. Think about it. Everyone hangs out with a group. I bet you do. You and your friends? I bet you don't realize it, but your a group. It does not have to be a physical one where you change your cloths, but you are in one.

[Cha0s360]

Its like you can read my mind :o

Concerning teachers: Basically all i'm saying is that people have jobs to do, so do them, don't whine about how hard it is, just get the job done and don't make us the students have to suffer through busywork to make up for your mistakes. I understand that sometimes teachers don't get their lesson plans done on time. It is a mistake, all of us make mistakes. What ticks me off is when they are not honest about it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll give you a rebuttal on your socail arguments later tonight.

yea. what if they are all friends? whether or not they are in the "popular" group is irrelevant, they are eating with friends, and, by the looks of your post, are a lot happier than you are

and get fired, or get parent complaints. But i would agree, busywork teaches nothing. Albeit, in the highest classes (honors classes, in my school, for example), busywork does not exist

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the idea you seem to be conveying is that you dislike these things, but they do not concern you. But you contradict yourself in that you are ranting about it. If you really do not care, then... dont care. shut up about it

What better way to learn about moles than to....make a stuffed animal mole! wow, and we can take up a whole class period presenting our moles, with stories we make up about the life of our mole. Oh, and each mole must have a theme of cource, because students love being creative...

To dwarfdude: You really astound me. I want to rebuttle, but I have to go to bed. I have to be somewhere in the morning. But, I assure you that I will get back to you on this. You aren't even close to understanding what I'm trying to say...maybe you need school more than I thought.
