I don't like school.
All of my life, I have told myself that I do. I mean, I feel as though I should. Like liking school would make me smart and motivated and all kinds of other things.
However, school mostly just stresses me out.
I wasn't made to sit through one-hour-twenty-minute classes. I start to shake and wiggle and daydream and grumble. I hate standardized testing and busywork. I hate the pressure I put on myself to make good grades and the way I crumble when I don't. I hate that I rarely learn valuable information and that my head hurts when I finally leave class.
In my school, students would go outside when the weather is nice. They would get to eat in class (why can't we eat in class?!) and their opinions would never be laughed at.
In my school, attendance would not be taken because it would be the student's business to see that they succeed. Students could crochet or draw or laugh while class was in session.
In my school, learning would be about knowledge and not about retaining information. School would be about thinking and living, not about taking in and spewing out facts.
Oh, and ice cream would be served on Tuesdays.
I really should start a school.
Love always,
Katy

i'm glad we're on the same page on this. we should start a school.
So knowing both your families (K and B) I could definitely make an annoying response to B's comment. But I won't because I like Katy and would hate to alienate her.
ReplyDeleteI'm a geek and I like school, but I get your point.
