you don't magically get passed along into college. You will have to take the sat if you want to get into a decent college or do anything, and you wasted valuable years of your high school life that you could have spent learning valuable work habits and developing a work ethic. Even if you do get into college, you'll be in for a great surprise if you haven't spent your high school years doing any work.

Well, lets start with the beginning of my day, at 5:00am. Get up, get all my stuff together, and go to my zero period, which starts at 6:10, theology. My dad teaches it, so I have to go early. It's alright, small class that I've known like my whole life. Leave that class, drive to school just down the street. First period weightlifting, it's whatever. Second period AP Euro, completely useless knowledge but college credits. Third period honors english, is a joke. My teacher went to Harvard, and is one of the most closedminded people to walk the earth. I'm a gifted bullshitter, so it's a piece of cake though. Fourth period chemistry, is alright. My teacher's also my leadership teacher, so it's obligatory that I do well which is kind of annoying. Then, I have advisory, like a thirty minute socratic seminar/notetaking class which is also a pain, because even though it's short, we talk about the issues that the teachers thinks matter, and everything's extremely liberally balanced. Fifth period I have leadership, so organize all the stuff that we want to do, and get shot down by our dick of a vice principal. Sixth period pre calc, the bane of my existence. Give me any geometry problem, and I can be done within thirty seconds. But my algebra two teacher sucked ass, and I can't do pre calculus as a result. Constantly working to understand, which I shouldn't have to be doing. Seventh period Spanish, where the teachers probably going to get fired because so many people have complained. I teach the class now, because she can't speak in public or handle any criticism at all, and we're getting ruined because of it. And then, my day ends at 2:45... So I go home and do 2-3 more hours of homework, and then when my parents get home shortly afterwards, don't believe I've done anything, because they really don't pay attention to me other than telling me I should be doing better. Fucking perfectionists, I'm doing better than both of them combined in school. My Mom talks about how hard she worked and shit, and how they've both done everything and went to college, but the farthest my mom got in math was Geometry... Which I did in 8th grade. My grades are fine, get off my ass. I needed to rant.

Public education is absolute complete bullshit... It makes me so angry to read everything in this thread, because literally 90% of kids totally fucking hate school, and the whole nation knows that, but we don't do anything to change it because in the end, schools, teachers, and staff don't give a shit about our education or what people go through everyday at school, at the end of the day they only care about getting their measly little paycheck. I've only met one or two teachers who actually seem to care about their students.

I'm not going to say I was the best behaved student between 6th-10th grade, but I never really did anything bad. I was just a kid that goofed off more then anything. Between that time I, along with many people I knew, were only being ourselves. Schools don't want that, they want every 12 year old to already be conformed into wanting to be a doctor or lawyer and will study their asses off to get there, but most kids between 6th-10th grade have much more on their mind than that. By 8th grade I had already established a bias around my name and teachers and staff already hated my little brother (2 years younger then me) because of my past. I swear to god the teachers and staff at high schools are more judgmental then the kids they claim to try and mentor out of this mindstate.

The only decent school was middle school, 6th-7th grade. The Junior High (8th-9th) was probably the absolute most pathetic school anyone could attend. The teachers LITERALLY DO NOT GET ANY WORSE. They are a group of the stupidest human beings, that are the definition of lazy ass holes that do not care about their students. Its almost so apparent and obvious how obnoxiously this school is run that its funny. Not to mention the school is built for 700 kids and 1200 attend, so you cant even walk through the halls without getting elbowed in the face.

Now for the High school (10th-12th). Its not as apparent here, but this school is corrupt as fuck and EVERY kid that isnt getting special treatment for playing football or being in "leadership" agrees. I was so scared to attend this hell hole of a school that I was constantly ditching class and sneaking off campus because I hated the stupid fuck head football players and the preppy cheerleader girls. They have "leadership" assemblies where only kids who are into sports get awards and get recognized. It seriously makes the entire school feel like absolute shit and the school has the highest rate of depressed kids in the state. Then they have these "bear teams" where you meet with a random group of kids and a teacher that forces you to stand up in front of the class and introduce yourself and everything about you to them. They do this every month with a new set of kids that you will never talk to again in your life.

They favor the living fuck out of kids. Theres a white supremecist piece of living shit redneck that has 18 suspensions for racism, and got 3 days suspension for beating the shit out of some black kid. THREE FUCKING DAYS. Then there is a psychopathic, murderous asshole who baked a batch of 60 brownies. He baked enough rat poison into each one of them to kill a person, and he tried selling them at lunch until one of the adults found out 30 seconds before the first kid was going to bite into one of them. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO. He was let back into the high school 10 days later. Then there is my friend anthony who had a pot brownie at school and let some kid take a bite of it. He got expelled for distribution of a controlled substance. Tell me that isn't the biggest bullshit you have ever heard? Shit like that happens every week.

Now, rewind to halfway through my sophomore year, exactly a year ago. I lit a garbage can on fire in a bathroom with a friend of mine (yes this was a stupid idea.) They called me down about 30 minutes later and purely blamed me because they had a biased opinion on me and saw me walk out of the bathroom 2 HOURS BEFORE the actual incident. They based this off no evidence. I denied it and I got sent back to class only to get called back down 20 minutes later. This time, the security guard told me if I admitted that I did it, they wouldn't call the cops or press charges and I would only get expelled (keep in mind the other kids who did not get suspended for doing things much worse). No one got hurt, the fire alarm didnt go off, and the only damage was a melted garbage can. I finally admitted I did it, and at that moment he picked up the phone and called the cops. They showed up and I got sent home, and the cops did a week long investigation surrounding that bathroom. The school did not hesitate to press charges on me even though they promised they wouldn't.

I got my expulsion lifted and taken off my record at the end of 10th grade, and I do all my school online now because I just can not make it through high school without doing something stupid as fuck, and I dont mean to sound like an ass but I dont blame that on myself but I blame it on the high school. I only have 7 credits left in my online school, so im basically a senior now (even though I should be a junior) and I'm so much happier doing it. i felt as if I was getting more and more nullified everyday going to school, not getting smarter. I wasn't learning shit about what I needed in my future.

Bottom line, dont blame yourself for doing anything wrong in school. I dont care how absurd that sounds, You are who you are, and the entire public school from k-12 will try and change that but dont fucking let them. They'll try and tell you you're fucked up if you arent a star athlete or star student, but its the other way around. Do whatever you need to do to keep your freedom. Dont let them tell you who you need to be. You know who you are, they dont. The american education system does not define who you are no matter how hard they try and make it seem that way. They don't give a flying shit about you, remember that. I learned the hard way when they lied and cheated their way into fucking the next year of my life up as bad as they possibly could. They just did it in a more obvious way then they do to everyone else.

this didn't make the news or anything?

and all schooling is bullshit. We now have the answer to everything in our pocket. This isn't to say we should discourage what it is to learn new things and establish a work ethic in a social environment while in a developmental point of life, but we should encourage it in a different way. Learning how to learn is more important than the information that you learn at school. The schooling system is hilarious matched to this generation. If schooling was the way it was supposed to be it would be much more critical and less robotic. Add that it would literally prepare you for aspects of real life as an individual living in the world. School doesn't have the privilege of making the student think. There's barely any sort of form of conceptual learning, just brief memorization and copying information from one source to the other (being the answering of questions/meeting the requirements of the paper via whatever you're referencing to retrieve the answer.) Not much time has to pass for all the details to be forgotten and only a vague image of the lesson/concept is remembered while meanwhile, those numbers that everyone is looking for, being your grades, just keep getting punched out. I in real life have the opportunity to use a search engine for just about everything. I'm literally never faced with anything that I have to temporarily memorize. I can either take note or look it up, so why don't the start encourage learning and thinking in different ways that would benefit the wholeness of the person more?

The biggest privilege I was ever given in life was being sent to"gifted programming" from 3rd-6th grade. While we did learn at a much faster pace the criteria for the class was also phenomenal. It was so hands on and allowed for so much creativity and thought. It was critical as all fuck. It really stimulated the brain and taught me how to use it in that early developmental state of life. After that experience, school never reached that point again. On top of never reaching that point again I never learned a thing that would help me in the real world. Fortunately I have good parents who will always be there for reference to taper me into the real world with all the experiences I've yet to have and as a result have no idea to handle. I don't know how people without that are expected to fare as well. I'm just gonna have to keep getting blindsided with those over the course of years as I try to get a leg on life while I look back on those 12 years I spent growing up in school laughing at how inside out that is.

Tomorrow is the last day of the first semester of my freshman year in high school and i can agree with Ben that most teachers are just doing it for their paycheck, but 3 of my teachers actually put effort into their classes and work with the kids, but the other ones are if you aren't doing a sport or in their club they don't like you. It hasn't been that bad so far

Things that piss me off about classes.....
Schools don't have required classes like personal finance, marketing and accounting. Those classes are what will help people the most after high school. I don't care how rich you could be making $1,000,000,000 a year, if you can't manage money or find more ways to earn it your or going to be in debit and poor forever.
What about working on cars? Odds are everyone will get one but Many will lack the knowledge on how to care/ fix basic things on it! There are sweet programs and or on campus classes to learn about cars but pussy Olympia prep kids don't wanna get there hands dirty.

High schools should help teens learn skills that they will actually use EVERY DAY. I've had teacherS agree on all this. Sad nothing will happen.

Other rants....

Food sucks as always. Closest restaurants like subway/ Izzy's pizzas are watched by police for bad students just trying to get decent food.

Nothing is interesting, Idk about you but doing the same thing pretty much 180 days x 12 sucks.

Word of advice keep up on credits. Do your best to stay in school. Get a job, don't do dumb things to mess u your record and enjoy your life. High school is the last years being under 18 and fairly worry free. It may suck but there are far worse places

I go to a Department of Defense High school on a US Army Garrison in South Korea. It's a lot of paper work to become a DoD teacher so not many people do it, you would assume that it would make better teachers because of it takes effort, but most of the time they honestly don't care. I have a teacher who tells us to do vocab and take a test on the chapter and she never instructs us, she keeps her audio onto the speakers and I she watches world star hip hop. To be fair, she's really old and sick. Most of kids are complete douchebags, who call me faggot constantly.
