I don't think adults get what I mean when I say "I hate school". All I get is, "Well yeah I hated school too but you just have to do it."

"You just have to do it" doesn't cut it for me, nor does "You'll end up working at McDonalds without it."

School is so wrong I will never "learn how to deal with it" or "just do it". I don't think they're even thinking about my education, their mind was warped into thinking it's a part of life and that's where they get "you just have to" from.

They can all go to hell. Honestly. School is definitely not part of life. Death is part of (and also the end of) life, so you definitely won't hear me compl---

Hold on.

Just got a text from a friend... "If you like learning why don't you like school."

My reply?

"I can't associate [government-run] school with learning. Ever. It will never happen for the rest of my life."

They're like brick walls. You can helpfully explain facts to them in a rational matter, but they only give you the same fucking pro-school responses without listening at all.

Fuck the system.

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:17 AM

Shooting the same shit at me every time...

"It's only that way cause you make it that way. You don't like it well to bad. It helps people be good working citizens make a good career to help people. You need school weather you want it or not. So suck it up and just do it."

"OH GOD NO! They have another one... Explain to me how it will help them be good citizens. By "learning" how to obey their boss' every command, to shut the fuck up, sit down, and do their work? Learning that all they'll ever be is a worker? Not a boss? That they won't be in charge of anything and they're doomed to a life of work, work, work?"

"If you did the damn work they wouldn't do that. I've tried this year and I love school now. I went in open minded and I really love my teachers and classes. I wanna master in history or economics now! All cause of Mr.Lamm!"

"Yet you're close-minded to people that have a different opinion of school? You're not going to persuade me to do school work ever. I could have a stress-free life without people getting on me about school. All of the money I'll make [in the unemployment line]. Fuck."

"Theres no logic in quitting school. It won't get you anywhere except military maybe."

"It will get me a job (Mechanic) my family can afford to educate me for (I heard college tuition is a BITCH. Community college is a ton less.)

The military? The fucking military? So you're saying that all of the people that hate school end up in the military?"

Stadium · 02-01-2012 10:18 AM

I wouldn't survive the military. Self employed ftw

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:23 AM

"I never said all people for military first of all. You have limited career options and less pay then those with high school and college education and thats a pure fact."

"Okay on not all of us, but you know how many people are still in debt from their college loan because it didn't get them that high-playing job they wanted? I'm not limiting anything if I'm doing what I want to do."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:27 AM

"You can't do what you want to do without an education"

"The problem is that government-run schools aren't giving me any kind of education. I think the word you're looking for is "certification", because you can have a fancy degree, but it won't mean shit if you're not truly educated."

And then I realized I made my own quote...

"You can have a fancy degree, but it won't mean shit if you're not truly educated."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:30 AM

"How is our school not education us. That makes no sense"

"Look at all of the idiots in our school. Do they look educated to you? Do you truly think 100% that they are being educated to their fullest? I'm wondering when it will ever happen, but it starts with making school attendance voluntary, not compulsory."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:35 AM

Ohhh fuck now every pro-school person I talk to is getting repetitive.

"The kids who aren't educated in our school are the ones that dot want to be educated like you. I've learned so much this year I'm even amazed by it"

"I fucking love learning. I want to be educated so desperately, but is forced memorization and retention of useless information that we won't use again until out final, and then never again "education"?

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:40 AM

"You have to take the classes that go along with what you want to be"

"Then it will be interesting and worth it. Better yet, I can go to a trade school and it will be about ONLY what I want for my career.

Guess what? College for that isn't compulsory. I don't have to go to college, but you know what? I do since it's something that I feel is worthwhile and will educate me. Oops, some really basic html code, sorry."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:42 AM

The replies are really short now, also with less reason.

EDIT: Even more repetitive as well.

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:45 AM

"In college you know that you still have to take certain classes your gonna hate right"

"Not in trade school. If your priority is to be, for me, a mechanic, all you ever have classes for, and about, is cars, nuts, bolts, wrenches, ect.

Google it. Trade school vs College."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 10:49 AM

This is getting SAD!

"Your gonna need some math or that"

"Maybe if the stars align and it's needed, basic maths. Not even Algebra 1. I have helped my dad fix things before, as I have worked on things myself as well, maybe not so professionally, but there was no math involved."

Dirtbikemike · 02-01-2012 11:00 AM
