Let me be honest, I truly dislike school in general with a passion. If i had the option i wouldn't go anymore. The idea of sitting down for eight hours a day, being guided to leave and go to the next period by the bells, having to be silent most of the time and having to be monitored 95% of the time, feels like Im being controlled by an unknown force. And it doesn't sit well wit me.
lets say that im sitting down having a conversation with you, then i start telling you about how many kind of rocks there are and how they are formed and where you can find them and etc... Boring right?, and at this point you'd want to switch up the conversation to something more desirable to speak about, only. you can't. You're forced to learn everything about rocks even though it doesn't interest YOU. You have no connection to it. You feel nothing about it. It just doesn't "light your spark,". Hey, did you "learn" everything i told you about?, well guess what im going to test you on it, and if you didn't "learn" somethings then your grade is going to be bad. What 's a grade you say?, only a number that can decide YOUR whole life just because, you didn't "learn" something that doesn't apply to you in anyway and probably something you'll never use in your life. Why you ask, do you need to learn about rocks? It's just something you NEED to know... Do you get my point? I don't want to "learn" about certain things, and of course this varies from person to person but i feel like by the time you are of age 14 or 15 in school, you have a pretty good idea of what interests you and what you might want to do in the future. If I'm honest with my self I'm not actually learning things in school, I'm remembering. Remembering what the formula of the circumference to a circle is , remembering who sailed the ocean blue, remembering over and over again what slavery is and what happen during the time. Because in regular day by day life, these things do not matter. If it was my choice I'd drop history so fast to learn about life skills like managing money and stuff. The school system needs to change because these aren't the old days were many people work in factories, trust me America is to greedy and lazy to make their own things anymore. That's why Finland is kicking our butts when it comes to education. Just because i don't remember stuff on a subject doesn't make me less educated.
