The food is bad and that is unacceptable

there's skeletons hidden around in the woods campus and it's weird

this is what university does to you

I found interesting some subjects that I hated in highschool, at first I thought it was because I had to memorize everything and take tests, but after having some really cool teachers in college (and I mean physics, advanced calculus, statitical analysis, programing) I found out that most teachers are either terrible people or terrible at motivating students, like, they're in just for the moneys

MINOR FRACKING SUBJECTS THINKING THEY'RE SOOOOO IMPORTANT AND ASKING FOR TOO MANY REQUIREMENTS! How the hell do you think I'll be able to produce an authentic national costume, and why the hell do you think I'm going to buy one only to use it precisely one FAHKING time? AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!

Sorry for the rant. Have a momonga. They're cute.

when teachers give you one day's notice about a test...

Usually the toilets at my school were all a mess, they never were clean and u could see the cleaning workers smoking or talking to students. Never working.

I'm okay with school. But I hate math. Like... in ways I've never felt rage. I have a personal vendetta with math. I don't even want to be near a tutor when I'm trying to figure out a math problem, because I know that I will assign them as the Math Avatar, and I will kill them. And they'll be arresting me and all I'll be screaming, over and over, is "Algebra! It was the ALGEBRAAAAA!!!"

The teachers are too slow and the students are fucking dumb, well, most of them.

school makes you slave to the system. We need good education not bad education. We don't need no education

Teachers get away with bullying and racism.

The other kids parents and teachers always talking shit about my mom saying she's a whore because her kids all have different skin colours and hair types. (we was mixed so genetics would kind of be unpredictable, but all had the same mom and dad, she was also very young for a mom)

Being forced to stay outside in the snow during recess... even though our family could not afford winter coats.

Staff not communicating properly with the janitors and getting EVERYONE in the classes shoes thrown out because the teachers kept telling the students to put the shoes where the janitors apparently didn't want them and one day they just got fed up and threw them all out. Walking home without shoes fucking sucks.

Finally getting a good grade and then getting minus points so you have a failing grade because 'you don't smile enough in school'

Never being able to get over middle grades in art class because 'you're too advanced at art so if we graded you good it would not be fair to the other students.'

Getting detentions and not being told what they were for, then when I finally asked it was because the teacher could not see my hands on my desk the entire class, so she didn't trust me not to have a knife or a gun. (realized later in life that all the kids that got those random detentions in that class were ALL darker skinned kids, kinda a 'wait a f-ing minute' realization when thinking back)

Teachers not knowing how to teach (failed the whole class because everyone the assignment wrong, and it turned out it was because she did not explain what we were supposed to do right, yet she still blamed it on us for 'not catching on that she was instructing us wrong')

Being excluded from activities because parents couldn't afford the trips/events/supplies.

Being excluded from activities because 'remember that one time you were late/didn't hand in that assignment on time/absent/whatever. Will this is your punishment'

Getting asked to read a 300 page novel and then being asked "In chapter 3 the author described the curtains in her room to be blue. What was the HIDDEN MESSAGE the author was trying to tell us through that?'

Not being allowed to play with the other kids because the teachers will not let you play with them or because their parents will not let you play with them because the teachers told them I am not from a good family and their kids shouldn't be hanging out with me.

Being constantly asked 'why can't you be more like 'insert name here?' who was an absolutely awful person who was always verbally and physically abusing other kids calling us ugly, that all are friend are lying to us and pretending to be friends with us, and that our parents secretly hate us and will kill us one day. But acted like a complete angel in front of the teachers.

Constantly... and I mean constantly having the school call social services on our parents. Was always pulled out of my classes to sit in a room and have these people try and convince me that 'they are my friends' no mater how many times I tell them 'I don't know you, you are not my ****ing friend' Then the school has the audacity to lecture me about not paying attention in class when I WAS NOT IN CLASS I GOT PULLED OUT BY YOUR SHITTY SOCIAL WORKERS REMEMBER????

EDIT: Why did so many people name their kids David or Johnathan????? There was always 2 or 3, sometimes 4 of them in every class. One grade we had a David An and David Ar because they both had last names that started with A so they both couldn't be David A.

Learning how to do something one way in one school, than going to another school and being asked 'who here knows how to do this?' then telling them the way you learned only to be shot down with "NO! That's wrong! Why would you do that that's the worst way to do something? Why would you even think that was how you did it??? Are you trying to mess up the way everyone does _____ with that suggestion?? Don't be stupid!"

I could go on.... I could fucking go on forever....

It somehow, SOMEHOW ALWAYS. MAGICALLY. FOR THE DAMNED. SOMEHOOWWWWW SJRGJGKE, get in the way when I decide to work with my comic. Like the day I decided to spend all day to draw and all of a sudden I get a short notice about a test and 5 essays like???

The school establishment definitely has it's negative values. As @kurapikasuki has stated in her post (I'm very sorry for what you had to go through), the school system is broken. And it needs to be fixed, or rather, let's all be homeschooled.

But seriously, there are tons of problems with school in general. There was a time for my senior final that I was to "Write a one sentence summary of what the Constitution is." At first I was like, "Well this ain't too bad." However, I had misheard the assignment (or misread it. I've no idea which) and thought that I was to write a one summary of the Constitution itself! So, what do I do? I make a three page summary of the full Constitution, grammatically correct as a single sentence. And I got everything the document stated, with some paraphrasing, but I got it done. (I used a ton of semicolons) But once I turned it in, I got a zero. I wondered what was wrong to the teacher, and he said "While what you did was impressive, it's not what the assignment was. So you get a zero, but you can have some imaginary points on the board for everyone to see!"

Looking back, I can laugh at the imaginary points, but at the moment, those points that the assignment took away affected my grade. Just because I got the assignment wrong, doesn't mean that my effort should mean nothing. I put a ton of time and effort to get it done, but it was all in vain.

But it wasn't just the teachers, it was also the students. In my school, there was a strict PDA/drug policy. If you were caught doing either of these on school campus property, (outside of such it really didn't matter) it was grounds for immediate expulsion, and we all knew it. But people still did it. In fact, there was a corner in the school corridor that was hidden out of view for most people, so couples would do their business there. (I didn't know it personally, mostly because I didn't care)

There were even a few in my class that were caught with both drugs and doing the nasty on school grounds, and were expelled. However, because they were school sports superstars, they were allowed back in after a while. EXPULSION? Nah, they're our team captains. They made a mistake and they say they're VERY sorry about what they did. Also, while the boys got back into school in no time, the girl who was a part of it STAYED expelled because she wasn't a part of the sports teams, but decided to still do the work and assignments over the internet just so that she can still graduate properly, which to me is deserving respect than being let back in because of sports.

There was also a strange mentality of popularity in the school as well. First of all, popularity is a poison in school in general, and it creates automatic conflict and drama between peers. Somehow, because I was involved in soccer, the band, and had a different mind for things, a lot of the "popular crowd" wanted me to join their exploits, like sitting at their table, joining them for after-school shindigs, and plenty of other exploits that I didn't want any part of.

As to why I didn't just fall into this group is because once, just to be nice, I joined them for lunch. Good God they're boring. Have you ever heard a conversation where nothing is said, and yet so much is said to describe said nothing? I liked to discuss philosophy, worldviews, concepts, and ideas; all they went on about was which sport team won or which football player was being traded. It was maddening! (thank the Lord I got out of there and found my real friends, whom I still associate with now)

Popularity has no substance outside of itself or of school. Now that I'm out of school I bump into my old classmates from time to time, and they really don't have a lot going on outside of their job now. I on the other hand have lots going on, but I like to be quiet and listen, so the conversations are still quite... boring. Just goes to show how the outcast crowd often finds a more interesting way to live.

School is a system that needs to die. Or at least the American School system. It needs to die and become a new form, a more beneficial form. Where we can learn how to get an interview for work or get a mortgage, or sign a bloody check.
