EDUCATION IS SHIT

why is education screwed up?

crap teachers: a math tutor i had told me many time over that he sometimes hated the fuck outta teaching math 11 because a ton of his students couldnt do basics. meaning, the previous teachers were so incompetent that they couldn't adequately teach the skills necessary for the next course. many of the students that did well had tutors before, but tutors cost money. how is this shit supposed to work for the kids from low income families?

fucking unions: thanks to teachers union bullshit, teachers get paid almost solely based on how long they've been working, instead of the results they produce. as long as a teacher does the work s/he's supposed to do and doesn't molest anyone, they'll probably be paid until they retire. there's also this crap where if a science teacher is sick, they bring in an english teacher to substitute; "your teacher gave me these worksheets for you guys to work on" well if the teacher is doing shit all, i might as well leave for the day.

goddamn school boards: it seems to me sometimes that the school board has no idea what it's doing. every year almost, they progressively pussy up the math curriculum. remember in grade 11 and 12 when they omitted two or three of the chapters? thats right friends, they thought that shit was "unnecessary" well, if that's so, then why did i have to learn conics when i took calculus 101 in college?? in fact, some university level english classes are fucking joke thanks to your shit. one of my friends' classes was teaching her how to identify a protagonist, what the hell.

dont hinder creativity: if shakespeare got to make words up then why can't i????

  1. I personally believe the public school system in America is deeply flawed. In many different ways.

  2. Stay in school even if it sucks... I know people that haven't finished 12th grade and they aren't doing so well... A little bit of shit right now is very useful when you want something later.

  3. Most education systems are heavily flawed. Maybe one day someone will think of the best way to educate people and we'll stick with it. We gotta live with the shitstorm of what it is for now.

  4. Wasn't saying it was perfect up here though, school sucked in a lot of ways.

  5. As soon as you're as famous as Shakespeare, you can make up all the words you want.

  6. The education system is heavily screwed up especially in the lower levels (lower than University) but even Uni is full of corruptness.
