Top 10 Evil Things Schools Do
I'm making a list of things that turn school into a heartless monster. It's like a building of misery. It treats you like a slave robot.So, I'm making a list of things that this cruel place has done to all of us!
I have no issues with a little bit of homework, but a lot of schools sadly just go overboard. I've had countless nights where I've been up until two in the morning doing homework. Even in college, one class gives me so much that I don't get time to revise for tests in my other classes. It's insanity!
How are we meant to stay social, study for exams, talk to family, and get exercise when we're loaded with homework? This is common sense.
Don't you hate getting home from school only to have to do work in your own home and sacrifice your free time or get a failing grade?
There needs to be some metric to prove you actually know the material, right?
Even if you do your homework and study hard, if you screw the test up, you fail.
Yes, I was bullied one day at school, and it hurt. They wouldn't allow me to play some of the games. When I went there, they told me to get the hell back. I got upset, and they came to beat me. Then I fought back and beat them. They tried to throw me aside, but I defended myself. We were fighting, and I ended up slapping someone. As a result, I was punished in front of my class. I was angry and upset because I had to stand there while all the younger students saw me. It was a great humiliation. But when they beat me, the school never stopped them. I damn hate school so much. School sucks. The Minister of Education never addresses this issue. Stupid school gets in the way of everything.
I believe that there should be an e-learning system where students use their iPads to learn instead of books. This is done in my school.
That would be a distraction during class.
It's like school despises fun. I'm sick of it!
Yes, there should be rules for devices, sure, but don't just ban them completely! It's not like they would distract students that much.
Yup. Most of my school computers have 2GB of RAM, which isn't very good by 2017 standards. We're using outdated computers that were manufactured in the late 2000s. However, the music tech computers have 8GB of RAM (for Cubase), so they run more smoothly. But as I've mentioned before, I've seen one computer with just 1GB. It's horrible.
Back when I was in primary school, the computers were even slower and older.
When I first started school, the computers took like ten minutes just to load the Google homepage - shocking even for 2003!
That's why I sneak soda or juice into a non-transparent metal water bottle. You don't know what I'm drinking - it could be water, soda, juice, or alcohol, and my teachers would never know.
Well, it is healthy, but the fact that it's everywhere is annoying. At least give out 1% milk too!
But I wanted to drink tea... Also, there are people who need electrolytes sometimes.
Yes! They block out a beautiful day and make the whole day miserable, dark, and depressing.
Kids need sun, not a dark gloomy room.
I know, right? My school has some big red chairs, kind of like the elementary school ones, and some of the chairs have some white stuff on them. I don't know if it's paint, cleaning material, or something else, but it is disgusting. Some kids won't even bother to clean up their trash!
This isn't always the school's fault - even if the cleaners work pretty hard, sometimes there are just too many messy students who leave a mess in there. They ought to replace the dolls' house tables, though.
The foods cafeterias give us are cheap and disgusting.
This is understandable. Some kids are allergic to certain animals, and they would be a distraction.
What, you want to have dogs and cats running around the place? Erm, no thanks. I'd tolerate cats because they're awesome, but mine always sits on my work.
Even though I love animals, they would be a major distraction, and some kids might be allergic.
Good morning [insert name of your school here], this is your principal speaking. First, we'll do the Pledge of Allegiance, which is required every day. Then, we'll talk about a bunch of clubs that you're not interested in. Have a good day!
The Newcomers
I remember in second grade when the whole class got punished by having to sit on the bench during recess the next day, all because I accidentally left my lunch in the classroom.
Yes! Like when only a few students talk, and the whole class loses their entire recess because of it. Yeah, that's really stupid!
Why do they also blame the well-behaved kids too?
For everyone who doesn't know, the 1st Amendment is freedom of expression. This means you can have your own opinions and think whatever you want about anybody. So violating this is basically illegal.
My high school special ed teacher is worse than just mean. She is racist toward Asians (I'm the only Asian in the class, and I end up in trouble for no reason the most). She overreacts to everything. I'm surprised the school still hasn't fired her...
I can't count the number of times I've been bullied by a teacher. My first mean teacher was in 5th grade. Then I had a body-shaming gym teacher in 7th grade, and now I have a 10th-grade teacher who doesn't allow crying or shyness in his class.
Not to mention "can't teach." It would be a splendid idea to have a hidden camera in the class so people would know how mean a teacher can get.
Having good natural ability is a better option over hard work.
I developed a slight posture issue because of this. My mom says it's due to my computer usage, but it's really because of all the heavy books I had to carry in school. I had to carry 4-5 textbooks home every single day (including weekends) in middle school and high school. Also, my mom wouldn't buy me those rolling backpacks, and some schools ban them!
It's like my school wants me to have shoulder and back problems. I'm in 10th grade, 5 feet tall, and 90 pounds (I have a fast metabolism), so it really doesn't make sense for me to be carrying a backpack that feels like I'm lugging around bricks all day. I pack as lightly as I can (3-subject notebook, binder, homework folder, computer, and pencils/pens), and yet my backpack is still heavy. My school doesn't even have lockers.
You forget a bit of work, and then you get tortured for an hour. After that, you have to go home alone with nobody else you know. On top of that, 2 days out of 5, I have swimming or tuition, and I miss it. Teachers have no penalty for not doing their work.
I was a three-time detention prisoner back in 8th grade. The thing I learned from it is that lunch detentions aren't that bad, plus I got to draw for all 40 minutes of my second lunch detention.
I cried throughout the yelling in detention class!
Why do schools block some websites? "To help students learn and to protect them from the dangers of the internet." Oh, bull. Have you ever seen anything inappropriate on PSXDEV (a homebrew website for the original PlayStation)? No! There are no private parts, just stuff to run on a PS1!
Or worse, they block websites made for students or schools to use. GoGuardian can rot in hell.
The school board also age-restricts everything, and it's annoying. We're not babies and toddlers.
Chances are that if you learn German, you'll still need to look up Google Translate whenever you see something in German. No, I'm not joking. This has probably happened to adults too.
My gym teacher gives us our grades based on whether we dress out for class. I had a 100, but then, on the one day I didn't dress out, he dropped my grade to a 70! The next day, I dressed out, and he only brought me up by 2 points. Is my gym teacher broken or something?
This happened in 4th grade. I got in trouble because some kid falsely accused me of scratching him (for the record, I didn't), and nobody listened to me when I told them my side of the story. They thought I was lying, even though I was clearly having a panic attack over being accused of something I never did.
OMG, once in third grade, some idiot pushed over a little girl and laughed at her. I got blamed for the entire thing, even though I was on the other side of the playground. I didn't know anything about it until we got inside. Mrs. Bell is the worst teacher in the history of ever.
There's an assistant principal who confiscated my hat a few months ago. Nobody else cared about the hat. Curse you, school!
Once, I had a bad hair day, and my teacher said I HAD to take off my hat.
It's so stupid that they ban hats. There's really NO good reason why they do that.
