Holla!

I’m new here! I’m a mother and freelance writer as well. I’m here to read and explore what you guys learn from school or how to cope things up. My daughter Elise is 7years of age and she loves reading.

It’s an interesting to be here and read everyone’s perspective. And somehow, this may a start to a new topic that I am writing about. *wink*

Welcome to the forums. How did you find School Survival?

What was your own experience of school like?

For the most part, those here really hate school and would prefer to take interest-based alternatives to traditional school... but their parents for the most part refuse to discuss alternatives. I'm one of the few relatively older people here... I'm working on developing an online alternative to school, and overall advocating for those stuck in ill-fitting, one-size-fits-all school situations and for the many alternatives that exist.

I gather you're writing something about education? Any ideas so far?

Welcome to School Survival. I'm DoA, also an aspiring author and apparently an alliterative literary lyricist at that.

If you're looking for different perspectives on the state of education, you've certainly come to one of the right places - as indicated from our name, many of our forums members see school as something to survive (or something they've survived) through - a rather dismal contrast to other, more positive interpretations of the institution.

Just don't expect to find many of us here willing to reminisce about school days as though they were the best days of our lives; those of us who have lived long enough to look back don't really tend to enjoy it.

this is a pretty informative essay

I'm radically opposed to everyone here yet also radically in agreement.

So it's only my eccentricity that serves as the core of their tolerance. That and because I post so damn much.

Brief intro:Finish HS, 2nd year in college, own a business, have many business ideas, and I hated school since I consciously grasped the concept of it.

Under normal circumstances, I'd make a cheap, self-righteous joke about the source, but I'm legitimately too impressed to go through with it this time around.

[Sharpie]

nonono, what you should be doing is writing something better. I wrote that 3 years ago and now consider it to be very shitty, surely someone such as yourself can top it?

[Ky]

The only way I could top it - without investing time I'm not willing to invest, that is - would be by fixing the grammatical errors and resolving the formatting issues.
