f**k SCHOOL

This is a debate. If you oppose me make you’re claim. If you agree with me, please share.

I have come to the conclusion that school is not always the best option, or even a good one. School not only provides its students with academic knowledge, but with an elitist mentality. What makes a good student a good student? Persistence, availability of resources, and last but not least the bad students from which they are good in comparison to. Without night there would be no day, and without f**k ups there would be no prodigies. At a certain point most people are forced to accept that they aren’t among the elite, the lucky ones pass with a 3.0 and are on the way. For the others, like me, who are struggling to maintain a 2.5 and wish they had a f**king 3.0 things are more difficult.

A lot of people who don’t do well in school simply aren’t academically driven. I don’t give a shit. I just want to get my f**king stamp on a paper that says I’m qualified to earn an extra $20,000 a year. Look, we’re all born, right? We’re not all robots programmed to love school. Is it our fault that we get f**ked over because the society we’re born into forces school upon us- lest we suffer existence among the lower class. I think it was the Spartans who used to leave their kids out to die if they were determined too weak to become warriors. I guess it wouldn’t have made sense to let them prove them selves or perhaps not go into the military. Anyway, my point here is that we do they same thing now to people who don’t like school. I can’t get a f**king internship unless I have a 2.8 GPA. I guess they don’t give a shit about your IQ, experience, or other “qualifying” factors. Can you just give me a f**king chance and fire me if I suck, is that such an inconvenience!?

I’m not anti school but I’m sick of having to conform to a system where I fail. It’s retarded, literally. I want out of this prison, I want to join the marines and glow blow up some shit for a change. Maybe then I could take some free classes on the side until I get my bull shit stamp on a paper qualifying me to move up economically. the only thing holding me back is that you join as an enlisted if you don’t have your bachelors, which is kind of a big deal. I would love being an enlisted but shit I may as well finish these two years of hell.

I hope God is real. Getting to heaven almost sounds easier than succeeding at life for a homework hating fun loving kind of guy like me. If I were absolutely positive there was an afterlife I’d either join the seminary or jump off a bridge to speed up the progression (kidding). But seriously suicide is no joke, which brings me to another point I’d like to make. Some people like the kid who killed himself at the U of M in 2006/07 just can’t deal with the pressures forced upon them and expected from them. This is unquestionable proof that school is not always a healthy environment. If people are so f**king stressed out that they start killing themselves this ought to be a red flag.

I’m going to rant some more but I’m done for now. Sometimes joining the system is the best way to take it down.

why don't you have a 3.0?

Lol exactly. I don't think I ever tried in Highschool, and I still got a 3.7 GPA. If you get under a 3.0, you're just dumb.

I never spent more than one hour a night throughout my 4 years of highschool on homework in a day. It was school 9am-3pm. Go home. Eat. Shower. Do homework for 30 minutes. Done. Go play video games, hang out. I never once really tried.

^OMG I was pretty much the same way

In college you just have to study a bit more & then it's easy if you're passing your exams because that's all that usually counts...if you make things hard on yourself then it will be. You have to utilize your resources; sometimes your peers can teach you better than the actual teacher. If you don't know something dont front. Everyone needs an education. Don't get mad & say school sucks just because you're being lazy & not applying yourself. If you're saying it's hard to get a 3.0 then you HAVE TO STUDY & put in more work, you won't have it easy like some people. School is important because if you have knowledge then you have power, yea, money's good & can give you power too, but with knowledge you can manipulate idiots or keep yourself from being taken advantage of in life. No one can ever take what you know away from you unless you get alzheimer's disease or something. Yes, the way you further your education might not be the same or suit everyone, but no matter what you do in life, you're going to have to learn or be trained. So learning is something that never ends as long as you're alive. You learn everyday just from your surroundings and interactions with others.

Do you go to a state school? Because in my school, it's all the papers and research that counts. Hell, I don't even have an actual exam at the end of this paper, but I have a couple research papers to write.

It's less of a "what type of school you go to" and more of a "what classes are you taking" issue. My chem and psych classes are weighted mostly in the midterm and final exams whereas my humanities classes are more research and papers.
