School hierarchy

[Just A Minor Threat]

It sucks. Teachers know they can get away with so much because students are too afraid of taking a stand and taking full advantage of their rights. I see it like this: One kid has a lot of friends, EASY 80%! That loser has two friends, heh, 40%! It's interesting you bring up inequality. This teacher of mine always ranted about how we should treat everyone equally. Too bad he couldn't practice what he preached.

Really, if there's anything school teaches, it teaches how authority acts favorably in some people and mistreats others which have less. It's bullshit.

It is! It causes unneeded stress and anxiety. You report these teachers and everyone makes you look like the bad guy. Even the principals will do that. I guess they don't wanna lose their money makers. People are so brainwashed into the whole idea of being on the teachers side that they don't understand how bad it can get for some of the kids.

Hmm, because of the inequality we know, we learn to appreciate equality more

[Just A Minor Threat]

That's true. I guess people like the teachers I mentioned will never be able to appreciate equality and take it for granted, then one day, if they get it taken away, they'll know how it feels.

It's kind of a blessing and a curse... It's always been tough for me to decide which, if any, it truly is and should be seen

I think the sad thing is that these teachers probably have (most likely) felt unequal at some point (and some cases still might) at which they've either forgotten or "grown up." They just don't care for the most part; they've got the paycheck, they do the minimal amount of work that is required if that, go home, then repeat the exhaustive cycle

You're right. It's like all those adults who don't listen to and treat kids like crap 'cause they're kids when they've been treated the exact same way when they were young. It could be them taking out some bottled up raged, but I think it's them feeling a sense of power over someone. Isn't it sad when someone will mistreat another just for a paycheck?

Personally, it may also be because these teachers may feel compelled to "defend" the hierarchy. I don't think teachers of upper-class backgrounds will look nicely down at those of lower backgrounds.

This makes sense. We all know those in the "elite" are usually the ones with the biggest mouths so if the teachers treat those types highly and positive word spreads around, there are chances of maybe promotions and such. It's happened around here. The kids always go on about their favorite teachers and those favorite are usually the ones we see more around here. Usually the favorites are terrible people but that's expected.

I'm bringing this back.
