Let's rant about stuff

School

Gosh I hate school. Don't even give me the whole speech about how I should just get on with it and stop complaining cause 1: this is a rant book, 2: this is a rant book, 3: I deserve to complain. Now on with today's topic: school.

One of the many reasons I hate school is because of the idiots who think they can do whatever they want. In my German class we have those kinds of people. All they ever do is talk and talk and talk till there's no fucking tomorrow. And you know the thing with learning new languages is that you have to pay attention and listen, but what do you know, these fucking idiots just interrupt the whole fucking period. I mean I could've joined Spanish for the Native Speaker, but I already know a lot of Spanish, I just need to know when and where to use those accents. To learn a new language and for something that was going to be a challenge and not an easy A, I went ahead and went into German. I thought there was just going to be those types of people that are calm and quiet and my expectations were crushed by the third week. All I ever hear is how these people just wanna skip class and all this other shiz that I don't care about. The thing is, the teacher in my class is way too nice. If I were that teacher I would've gotten them all suspended a long time ago. Cause seriously, they're disrupting class, disrespecting the teacher and just plain out not learning anything. It gets real annoying.

Second of the many reasons is that I get too much work than I can handle. I already have a whole packet of math HW, then a whole other packet of science plus writing on all the sections of that really long chapter, and to top it all off I have a million tests to do that week! I have a life! I don't want to be plagued with useless HW! When was the last time HW helped you? I'm not saying it didn't once, but the case usually is, you don't feel like doing this shiz, you already know this and you are just so fucking tired from all the other work you had to do. All I wanna do is come home and sleep. I don't even wanna take part in normal day activities because of HW. I'm always so worried about my grades and shiz that I don't even get a full night's rest. You know how bad that is? If we're learning about something new and we need a bit of practice, sure give me homework, but not a whole essay about the structural form of a monkey in space dancing to a jig at 5,000 mph. I'm already too stressed about being in class, why do I need even more stress at home?!

Third: tests. Tests are useless. They always have been always were. What do I learn from a test? How to fill out fucking circles. "Oh, but they test your knowledge!" No, you are lying, they don't test fucking shit okay. What if I just forgot what the thing I learned was, but I remember it the next day? Well you're out of luck, cause you can't change that answer now. I don't get how tests exactly test out my knowledge. Like explain to me how they do, cause I don't see it. All I'm learning is how to be a robot and not something I wanna be in life.

Fourth reason: grades. I hate them to death. Why do grades even matter? "Gee whiz I got an A on this test that's pretty much useless!" I don't think grades define how smart you are. I've met really smart kids with like a C or D averages. Then there's those straight A students who think they're so superior. And don't you worry, I am a straight A student, but I'm not like that at all. I mean, the US has such igh standards; if I get a 72 that's an automatic "C-", while in another part of the world that's still an A! I just find that so fucking wrong, I worked my ass off for this test and I still don't get the credit I deserve. "Oh, but that probably means they're dumber than you." No, no it doesn't, cause last time I checked I wasn't a flippin robot who can do everything perfectly. The North American school system is just so frustrating, like why can't you just stop with trying to be all like "I'm better than everyone" and accept that you aren't and you're fucking up the students? And then people wonder why kids don't even want to go to school, why we just can't wait for the weekends, why we dread going to school or getting a "bad grade" on some stupid test that's not gonna be worth anything in a few months. The only recess I ever get in school is Gym class, cause apparently everyone's too old for a break.

I seriously have so many more reasons why I hate school, but I'm tired and I don't wanna think anymore than I have to already. So stay tuned for next chapter!

You know the drill.
