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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Parental Injunction Against Homework

Check out:
http://www.webspawner.com/users/nohomewo...junct.html

This is an interesting site that includes questions to ask your school/district concerning homework.
Perhaps a student injunction or cease and desist could be organized by students. After all it's your lives.

Those people have the right idea. Parents own their children, so it's their right to determine what their children will learn and study, not the government's.

Parents and legal caretakers/guardians own their children, until the filthy brats themselves turn 30.

Children are people. People cannot be owned. Therefore children cannot be owned.

Parents or guardians are stewards of children and youth. They do not own the child. They act as a guide and helper for the child.

Children aren't people! They are parasites who rely on their parents for survival and they never contribute anything of great value to society.

except taking over running the world after your generation is done.

seriously, you'd better be nicer. we'll be picking your nursing home someday soon, and if you keep up this trolling we'll just have to dump you in some third-rate hospital where they steal your kidneys while you're asleep. Biggrin

Hahahahahahaha. That's really funny, not people... I gotta remember that one.

Quote:they never contribute anything of great value to society
I guess so, if you don't count the contribution of PEOPLE to society. Plus the happiness and imagination they bring into the world.

Quote:They are parasites who rely on their parents for survival
But how does that make children nonpeople? Parasitism is hyperbole, but essentially correct. Even so, children are people. They are human and they have a mind, so they are people.

Are you willing to admit to being a parasite the first 18 years of your life? That you yourself were incapable of contributing to society until you hit the magic day when you crossed over to adulthood?

I highly doubt Mozart, Mattie Stepanek, Picasso, John Stuart Mill, and other child prodigies would agree.

Let's do the time warp again!

I have to work on three assignments over the holidays. Two for biology and one for English.

It is said that school prepares us for life. I can understand how school can prepare us for the tedium of working. But the percentage of jobs that require you to work at home is small.
