Changing the face of education my ass!
Sorry for my crazy aggression. Yet I cannot help but to let out my negative feelings towards my high school. I must not lie: the three years that I’ve been attending my high school have been the greatest years of my life. However I cannot help but to become outraged by the pretense of this school. While the administration sits on their asses, trying to come up with the most outrageous and inconsistent rules on this whole wide planet, all they care about is the status of the school. Not the well-being of their 4000+ students, not the well being of the faculty, but the ‘well being’ of their wallets.
Yet I must say that I cannot solely blame them. The full blame must fall on the goddamn society. The society that dictates how we must act, what we must wear and what should we do/not do. The society has turned a once intrinsically motivated youth to brainless zombies whose only goal has become the attendance of a ‘good’ college. While we are still in middle school, we are constantly ‘grilled’ by our parents, teachers, etc., regarding our acceptance to a good college. It seems that our need to learn just for the sake of learning has been replaced by our desire to fit in.
You are labeled a “failure” if you even get a “B” in school. The school that is supposedly “changing the face of education” simply gives up on you, since they cannot get money for a “failure” like you. Thus, you become the outcast of the society that actually constantly pressured you into doing things that you might not have necessarily wanted to do.
You are pressured into taking all these extra AP (advanced placement) classes just so that colleges will at least review your fucking application. What seems to be worse is the fact that even if you try your hardest to get those good grades, you take all those fucking AP and honors classes-colleges like UCLA and USC don’t even look at your fucking application. Even worse than what I’ve described, instead of your hard-working ass, some stupid football jock or a dumb cheerleader get into college, even though they have a GPA of 2.9 while you have a GPA of 3 point fucking 8.
Whoosh, enough ranting for now. I feel exhausted!
Oh and by the way, this is NOT the end of it!
