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.

Teacher killed and skinned rabbit in class to 'show students how meat is processed'
Quote:A teacher who killed and skinned a rabbit in front of school pupils in the US has apologised to the “disturbed” children.
The man, who has not been identified, put the animal in a restraining device before breaking its neck and butchering it at Columbia High School in Nampa, Idaho.
Working part-time as a teacher, he also raises rabbits and other livestock on his farm for food and wanted to give his 10th-grade biology class a lesson on animal slaughter and processing.
Allison Westfall, a spokesperson for the Nampa School District, said he had apologised to children who were disturbed by the graphic demonstration...

Should have been optional though... I would never want to watch something like that.

It was, he gave the students the chance to leave during and prior to showing this to the students. Also the students asked him several times, he originally declined.

RE: Teacher killed and skinned rabbit in class to 'show students how meat is processed'
Damn vegan propaganda.
I too eat meat, that doesnt imply Id enjoy watching an animal get gut chopped and grinded and stuff. Silly vegan naivety is what I call such prejudiced assumptions.
I like driving too, you gonna drop me off in the middle east so I can watch them suck up the oil? Or I wear a shirt made in bangladesh, you gonna toss me into a sweatshop to watch them labor over the clothing?
Seriously, my opinion on shock propaganda is that its an idiotic and immature manner of persuading people. "Hey you eat meat, here watch a video of this cow getting sliced open with a chainsaw and blood and guts getting sprayed everywhere!". If I like how meat tastes, and I like to eat, please go screw yourself because I dont like you shoving your ass into my preferences. Especially so aggresively and with such hostility.
Damn tree huggers.

Eating meat and watching a rabbit die are two very different things.

I decree this man dumbass, because there is no way anyone with even a pea sized brain could have actually thought this a good idea while sober...in any of the multitude of parallel universes...at all.

Teacher killed and skinned rabbit in class to 'show students how meat is processed'
Seriously. That's why it's surprising to me anyone would be at all upset. It's like Hi I put dead animal flesh in my mouth everyday, chomp on it with my teeth until it's totally unrecognizable, then my stomach attacks it with acids and turns part of it into my own body and I expell the waste from my anus as feces. In fact, my entire existence is based on completing this process called "eating" where I do that to some kind of living or recently killed organism three times a day. But I can't stand to see an animal die. lol. Talk about being disconnected from and afraid of your own existence. That reminds me of puritanical types who flip out over seeing people have sex. Hello!!! It's the cornerstone of our existence people!!! It must be hard and sad going through life mortified of what you are designed to do: eat and fornicate.

RE: Teacher killed and skinned rabbit in class to 'show students how meat is processed'
OK, as horrible as it sounds, no, I really don't think the teacher did anything wrong. I mean, this is what goes into making meat. This is the process. I'm not surprised the kids were disturbed by this. But lets face it, this is the kind of thing that goes into many of our foods.

would you like a tour of the municipal sewer system, seeing as its something we use everyday? Hey maybe they'll make it interactive and let you fish out the feces, give you a firsthand look at what goes through there on a daily basis!

RE: Teacher killed and skinned rabbit in class to 'show students how meat is processed'
Ya'll wanna see how leather is made? huh? Do ya? We can start from the skinning process, then that process where they do some nasty stuff to prepare to make leather.
Or shall we go to south america and see how slaveesque labor helps provide us with a varirty of fruits and coffee?
Im running outta ideas here...

If all the tree hungers see the un-holy amount of hogs in my area, they would support the fact that next-to-no rules exist in hog hunting (at least in my state)
I actually saw a big group of brown-haired feral pigs crossing the road by my house (I live in a semi-rural area), I wanted to get my Mosin-Nagant but they got away by the time I loaded it.

It's not even a chainsaw. The animals are killed quickly, and the process of separating the meat and all is like dissection. Of course, I am one of the people who will describe the process in detail to a group of faint-hearted militant vegans, and then eat some ham or bacon while looking them in the eye.
The manga "Silver Spoon" does a good job of illustrating this reality.
Don't play chess with pigeons-they'll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut about like they won anyway.
