My god, where to begin......Well for starters let go with the early stages of the school.

Kindergarten, Most likely the most enjoyable Time of life for any person.
You get to draw, eat snacks, take naps and way back when, we used to only have half days of school. there was a french class where I was and it was even fun, when we got something right, we got rewarded with playtime. There was no Pressure, and everyone flourished in this setting. It was for lack of a better word, Perfect. But it all was to end.

Public school, Yup. Of course when you first go it's meant to be one of the funnest things in the world, the teaching is light, you learn basic skillz that are needed throughout your life. reading writeing....calculating dificult mathematic equations XD and all that stuff. And lots of playtime outside with friends, A Very good way of educating at the beggining.

then I think around fourth grade, it happened the work load started to heavy, But all the work was still simple and there still wasn't too much of it. The atmosphere was kept light and everyone still had fun all round. those years of enjoyment, then By grade 6, It got difficult and Serious Homework came into play. every few night we'd be senthome with work and we had to do it, cause it was drilled into our brains that it was supposed to be fun. It took up time from our family,, friends and other things that we enjoyed. Starting Grade 8 I realised that this was Just one large citizen conveyor belt, a simple path the Forces kids to turn into Upstanding Citizens, that Most will be unhappy and Knowledge that will never be of use in their current Job. The teacher student relationship became less personal. More homeWork, But the classes were short and the Homework was lil, But now with the multitudes of subjects and their homework, their Was pressure. this only lead to bad Habits in Highschool.

Now the Beggining of hell, grade 9 Started. the classes were from room to room. No real one teacher to Bond with, they just taught their part and Sent you off, Just like a assembly line in a factorry. Then they make it worse by forcing certain Subjects on us for Certain period of time, I myself don't work so well under forced conditions like this and I tend to miss school sometimes from anxiety and pressure from the environment around me. the only choice I got to make the first year was either gym or Art. I chose art and the rest I was stuck with. the only reason anyone of us comes out of Highschool sane is Because there are always some awesome teacher who can Show you the wonders of their subject, Not the boring Mathematical bits . More like english and a teachers passion for certain Books, or a Art teacher and the way he Fliks his brush, you can see style and finnesse (sp) in all their work. Or even Computer programming, each person has their own style. the Subjects that I find the hardest are math and Chemistry, they are Bound by equations and laws, there are absolute limits in them and that makes them lead nowhere, and yet they make us take it. thinking about this also makes me lead to the question "what do I want to do in Life?" Well after thinking about that, I found out what really would make me happy. I want to be the one to Help People. I wana be the first one in and the last one out. I would Sacrifice my own self being for theirs. And when I thought about this their were 2 Choices. fireman, and Police officer. then I realized that I don't like to hurt anyone, even criminals. So, I would be happy to be a fireman. rescuing people from burning buildings and saving lives. then there is another choice, helping others By listening, something that i love to do and I'm good at. A psychiatrist, Someone who heals the mind and fixes families, someone who sets people on the right track. Then I look at Our school system, Am I ever gonna need to know calculus (sp) to Carry A child from a burning Building ? No, and yet they make me take it anyways. Am I gonna Have to know Exactly what a strong and weak acid is to Heal childs mental wounds ? No. Our school system is inferrior, you don't leanr what you need to be taught, what you need to be great, you don't get a early start and it makes it worse off later on. The best system I've seen so far is University/college. You get to Pick exactly what you want to do, it allows yo uto shape your destiny.

My friends, If I Was rich and had enough wealth to change the world, I would Make specialty schools in a second. but sadly I'm not and the government found that mass Producing regular citizens in enough to keep their economy going. Thats enough about this for now. For those of you who take the time to read my Journal, I thank you from the depths of my heart, cause that is wear these words come from. contemplation and my feelings. g'night
