PUBLIC SCHOOL IS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

If you go to public school now I am sure that you have noticed all the tests that keep on pilling on to us. If you have noticed the same things that I have noticed then you have noticed how many times these big end of the year tests keep changing. It seems as if every year there are changes made on the state tests or whichever tests it is that you take at the end of the school year. One year we are told to focus on the essay questions and the next we are told that there are going to be multiple choice questions that are meant to fool us and make us choose the wrong answer so we have to study those kinds of questions. And other years the teachers just have no idea what to tell us to study. Or, maybe you have noticed that you are only being taught certain things because they are going to be on a test at the end of the year.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF, WHY AM I LEARNING THIS? WHEN IN MY LIFE WILL I HAVE TO USE THIS? I certainly have. Somebody in my math class asked my math teacher why we were learning a formula for something we already knew how to do. And my teacher turned around and had a very stern face when she said "because it is going to be on the test at the end of the year". She very clearly had no example of how we would use this formula in our lives after school.

Let me ask you a question. What is the purpose of school? Tell me completely and honestly. DO we go to school so we can meet friends? No. Do we go to school so we don't stay at home all day doing nothing? No. Do we go to school to study for a test at the end of the year? NO! Do we go to school to prepare for our life after school? Yes! Are we going to school to prepare for getting a job when we are older? YES! IF YOU WERE TO GRADUATE FROM SCHOOL NOW DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD FEEL PREPARED TO HAVE A JOB? I doubt it. Unless you want to become a mathmatition(I can't spell it. I've been going to school how many years now? 10. And I can't spell mathmatition?). than half the things we learn in school in math class is useless to you. Unless you want to become a scientist in a real science lab you don't need to know how every single cell in your body works.

I just had to get all that out. I may have taken it a bit too far. But school gets on my nerves. Leave a comment about how you feel about these things.
