Unfairness in the school system

[musicmylife]

although there are many things wrong with the school system there is one thing that is constantly a issue of debate and anger amongst me and my friends and i was wondering what ur experiences on this situation were.
it really annoys me how the really bad kids, that swear at teachers, break stuff and in general be really disruptive get away with everything whereas the kids that are only a low level disruptive influence get in loads of trouble. it seems to me that if ur rude and threatening you don't get in trouble which makes me tempted to just go the full way and become fully blown disruptive and rude so that i stop getting detentions and having teachers in my face the whole time.
i mean a few years ago there was an ofstead inspection and the school took all the really bad kids away for a trip somewhere so they got to go somewhere fun when we were made to work extra hard and be on our best behavior!
its madness how the not-so-bad people get all the blame just because they won't fight back and be rude when surely the bad people should get what they deserve there shouldn't be exeptions to the rules, if they're going to inforce them enforce them on everyone.

also the clever people get alot of stick aswell- even more so than a less able person its unfair

I disagree with your definition of "good" and "bad". People who choose not to follow the rules forced upon them by a self-declared authority are not bad.

The unfairness lies elsewhere, in power distribution, in compulsory attendance.

Agreed with puchiko, my teachers always shoot bull by saying "Well, the good have to suffer for the bad"

BS

im sorry if i didn't clarify properly i was typing this in a hurry, what i mean by bad kids isn't that they just mess around and break things and disagree with the school system, they are the sort of people that go around bullying others and beating them up for no aparent reason. the ones that yell at teachers when they havent done anything to them- i mean i can understand if they've done something but if not well in my opinion its just not nice- but thats just my opinion on the matter

I think he means that they not only don't follow the rules of the school but also act violently to other students.

I agree with you totally, my school is the same.

I would class myself as a 'good' student, I get on with my work never really late unless there is a good reason. I don't give the teachers any lip yet if I step out of line the teachers will punish me more than somebody else who is a 'bad' student.

I will give an example Joe* Is regularly late lets say ever other lesson is about 10 - 15 minutes late, Never does his homework and comes in every lesson smelling of smoke when smoking is strictly prohibited, and gives the teacher lip ever lesson. Rarely does work, Basically just sits there listening to his headphones.

Now he does not get in any trouble however if I listened to my headphones I get shouted at, If im 5minutes late I get a detention.
So mainly I think it is the bad kids get away lightly as they know that they are more likely to give them jip back.

Also another point is if a 'bad' child does the work say what a 'good' student does he/she is rewarded more and the 'good' child is just brushed away.

My old school was the same. Kids bad actions who were constantly doing terrible things got overlooked. When a good-meaning student does one bad thing, however, the shit hits the fan.
