When I DID try to do well ...I couldn't agree more. When I DID try to do well and got recognition from teachers for it (and sometimes other kids), it made me more bitter about the whole thing because I would feel like I didn't matter in this world unless I filled a homework quota or got a certain grade. It's bullshit, most of it is useless work we will never use, and our good grades make teachers and their schools look good in the end. <BR/>And yes, when I was attempting to be a "stellar" student, my stress levels were almost unbearable and in the end, cause for being depressed! By senior year I had had enough and was able to get a home-school teacher for most of the year. Screw you, high school.<BR/>Oh, do I have beef with the education system...like you can't believe. I screwed the whole college app thing by just applying to the community college where I am now. You know what? Transferring to a better place will most likely be 10 times easier from here than it would have been applying to them straightaway as a high school senior. Kids, all that stress is purely unnecessary.Tommy José Statheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235114704489063272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751157805358162128.post-66150109723707929542008-01-04T21:06:00.000-08:002008-01-04T21:06:00.000-08:00i hear ya.i hear ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751157805358162128.post-21701627403311456072008-01-04T17:01:00.000-08:002008-01-04T17:01:00.000-08:00Son, when the shit comes down you'll be pining for...Son, when the shit comes down you'll be pining for these days. The savages are at the gates just waiting for your debutante ball to wrap so that they can twist you into a "productive member." Stab them in the neck with an unconventional life.
