is anyone else like smart but not in the sense of school. We are well educated but not in the ways the school system wants nor needs. These past few years I've pushed my limit and tried in all my power to use my creativity in an environment that doesn't allow for that to be reality. For example, teachers always tell me that my writing style is so unique and creative in execution that although it's entertaining and enchanting to read, it's unfit for schooling purposes. That we must follow the exact cookie-cutter wishes of the curriculum. Even though the teachers and other educators think it's great and we should keep being ourselves, if we continue to do so in our schooling we will inevitably achieve less than a student who follows things by the book.
Because when you truly hone who you are and what you're for, it's impossible to sedate that part of who you are, especially when you really truly enjoy educating yourself; not the ''education'' system.
