Fourth Grade Student, Asked To Take State Test While In The Hospital

RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Fourth Grade Student, Asked To Take State Test While In The Hospital

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/joey-furl...93933.html

I want to be perfectly clear about this. I've researched this and I do know that companies like Pearson Education are extending their profit margins by giving long state and federally mandated standardized test to American children who are so sick they have to be removed from school to live full time at hospitals.

Children with chronic and often life threatening conditions, instead of being brought toys and other things that could bring comfort to their lives are being brought two hour standardized tests to work through to make money for corporations like the scumbag vampires at Pearson Education.

As an educator myself, I want to say this to anyone who works for Pearson who should ever come by this message. Go to hell.

If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school.
