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 purpose of the education system."
"The flaw in your logic is that our education system is intended to develop various people to be able to do various different types of jobs which requires diversity. The lack of diversity in the education system demonstrates an assumption that everyone with the same skill set can do any type of job. Therefore the education system is flawed based on their own assumptions."
The purpose of the education system is to give a BASIC education, something that EVERYBODY should have in life. If you want specialized education, that's what college is for. Shut your piehole and deal with it.

Listen to you, king of the schools. Why don't you go marry the school, if your so supportive of its role.

RE: "The purpose of the education system."
Our education system wants to turn us into mindless drones who obey authority.
They are pretty damn good at it.
I say school succeeds.
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose
So I’d rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless
I don’t need the circus or the day of national observance
I need you to think for you and stop being a servant

If schooling wasn't compulsory, all 5 year olds would be like 'I HATE SCHOOL. I WANNAPLAY BLOCKS'.
