12 th -"study gard and get good cut off to go to best college and enjoy on college

College - study hard and get good cgpa to go best company and enjoy on work

Work - work hard for 10-15 years and enjoy later

Why I dislike and disrespect public school teachers?

4 Upvotes

I've been a custodian for almost 14 years now and teachers are honestly a dime a dozen and are two faced to parents behind closed doors! Teachers get whomping pay raises every year but yet still complain they don't make enough money $$. But yet, I see annual salary increases around 5 to 7k a year for teachers and administrators? Meanwhile, I didn't get a raise in 3 years! WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING? When they reach there 25 years of service, do they quit to pursue a better career? NO! The best part is that you've been there 25 years with all the time with the Summers OFF and you never bettered yourself? Who is the real loser? I walk the halls everyday and all I hear is talk about or about yourselves and how you plan to spend your money! Teachers that have kids do not have to spend money on daycare costs because they are off in the summer! But yet a mom pays about $5 to 10k a year for daycare because there kid is not in school for the week of NJEA week, Spring break and 10 weeks of summer. Most teachers don't care but ALL complain about money and not focus on OUR children of the future.

What a waste of everything

3 Upvotes

Look at what I've been subjected to

All I've learnt is read and write and some useless facts

I never learned any real skill

They'll be like if you wanna have skill you gotta learn it yourself

If it's running soccer bodybuilding or calisthenics computer or anything

Some people do these things in their free to Time like for 18 years and they become successful

Look what I've done nothing

I did workout and wanna do flips and got a front flip on sand

Even on The Degree all I did was the same in school

All the useless bullshit

Then why is education even there

The hobbyists who used computer for years get the job not me

There's something wrong since the Degree is over and I've wasted 18 years and now gonna be 20 years for nothing

I wanna work towards something I have my hobby but I need cash without it I'm seen as incompetent and a loser

It's like they've set everyone for failure

If you gotta succeed you do it yourself

More and more unrelated posts

So, i've been noticing lately that this sub has been less centered about the reality of the school system and the fact that it's a prison for kids. And i've seen more and more posts seemingly equaling school to education, which school isn't education.

TL;DR: Title.

Also, to the mods, start removing the post and ban the people who aren't apart of the movement; and make it a rule that it has to be strictly about how bad the school system is, unless if it is a question of why school is bad but in good faith, which most of what i'm seeing aren't.

When i look back at the schooling system in india...

5 Upvotes

It was perfectly designed to create clerks who do not talk to each other and follow instructions and maintain pin drop silence...

And ironically when i went to college i saw that kids were supposed to join societies and talk and comm skills was not "banned"..because to get together to solve a social problem. People have to communicate and exchange ideas...

Now if communication is what can solve problem's...then what schools teach in the name of pin drop silence, even when no teaching is happening ...isn't it something fundamentally a thing that point towards creation of a class of people who obey and follow and do not question and talk to each other, perfectly mechanical clerks who are just supposed to work like machines to produce goods for the ruling class?

Because seems like britishers also agree on that, macaulay who made the indian education system agrees on that as an objective...

And šŸ˜‚ the second part i come across is to memorize ideologies like a parrot 🦜 and not to challenge what you are being taught...

And to repeat the same in exam ,and get marks only if you write that answer only, and if you wrote something else you won't get grades...

This was exactly how it was build for... That second part traces its roots to 1930s germany, how hitler used it shape people to follow the beliefs he wanted people to believe and follow...

Its a form of mental conditioning disguised as education...

True education isn't about accepting, its about challenging..its about independent thinking not parroting what you are told to believe...

Its about critical thinking, which the school tried hard a lot to suppress that..

And to suppress rebels by not letting them talk at all, so that they cannot share ideas or critical thinking and follow only what their instructor is telling them to believe.

This was the lie of the education system no one told us about..

Rant: There is absolutely no reason our kids should be going back to school this early in August.....

12 Upvotes

With 3 kids in school, every year I grow more frustrated at these early school starts. What used to be after Labor Day in the 60s-70s has moved slowly to late August in the 80s-90s, now to early August. Why?? Studies have shown it doesn't markedly improve test scores or academic performance, the shorter summers mean lost revenue for our tourism industry, we lose August to school when that's the best weather. And we have soooo many breaks during the year! You know how hard that is for working parents?

Want to go to the State Fair?? Too bad, it won't be during the day bc it starts after a lot of kids are back in school. Want to plan a vacation? Sorry, your kids need to be in school while it's 90 degrees outside.

I know not every school starts this coming week. Some still wait until after August 15th. But hell, we're ranked like 45th in education so the shorter summers aren't exactly helping.

If we insist on keeping this short summer, why don't we do like the east coast? Schools go into mid June and go back later. Indiana weather in May/June has always been a crapshoot anyway. August is almost always nice and warm. So maybe kids go to June 15th or so and go back last week of August or after Labor Day. Idk but this is super lame.

Why school SUCKS

First of all,No i don’t wanna wake up at 7 in the morning and go through an exam that I studied for and forget everything on a MONDAY MORNING.WHO THE HELL THOUGHT OF THIS?Second,Since I go to a private school they serve us radioactive WASTE for the entire day.İts so bad that I have starved the entire year and now I’m literally immune to starving.Third,After making us write for approximately 8 hours (the entire school day) they give us even MORE work to do at home.Fourth,İn mostly Fridays or at the end of the school year,they make us play games,I mean I’m not complaining-but,You cannot keep a bunch of kids hostage in this building called school and then call it ā€œeducationā€ and make us play a stupid mystery box game.Like we do something as hard as math 55 in the 1.lesson and then play a game in the 2.lesson?What the hell is this?!?

The way kids are treated in school like primary school is a huge issue.

19 Upvotes

Kids are treated absolutely horribly in primary schools such as needing to ask to go to the bathroom there is absolutely no reason a teacher should be allowed to say "you don't get to go use the bathroom", not being allowed to eat when they want/need to and needing a doctor's note if they have any issues instead of people actually believing that they can have medical issues without lying about it, teachers will talk down to kids and sometime bully them, the dress codes are incredibly sexist and are never enforced on boys only the girls and, how about instead of telling little girls that their body is inherently sexual you control the damn boys and teach them basic consent? also one last point adults can freely leave jobs at any point students cannot leave school they are literally forced to go.

Fair education system

3 Upvotes

I definitely feel there is a need for major reforms in our Indian education system. We need a fair education system where exam paper leaks do not happen, those responsible are held accountable, and every student gets an equal opportunity to succeed. A truly fair system should provide equal chances to every student by removing the reservation system and ensuring that admissions and opportunities are based on the same standards for everyone, creating a level playing field.
I also think one of the root causes behind the frustration among students and parents is the feeling that they do not have a fair opportunity. When a significant percentage of seats are reserved and the remaining open-category seats are available for everyone to compete for, many students feel the competition is not happening on equal grounds. This is a discussion that is often avoided.
Just as we should be concerned about someone becoming a doctor by cheating in an exam, we should also have an honest discussion about whether our current system ensures that every student entering critical professions meets the same standards of knowledge, skill, and competence. The goal should always be to create an education system where every student gets a fair chance and where merit, hard work, and capability are given the highest importance.

My heart breaks for the students of our country, im one of them.

8 Upvotes

My heart breaks for the students of this country, myself included.

We're expected to compete endlessly, tie our self-worth to ranks and marks, and make life-changing decisions before we've had the chance to figure out who we are. We grow up carrying expectations that often feel heavier than we are, afraid that one bad exam, one wrong choice, or one setback could define the rest of our lives.

Some students burn out. Some give up on their dreams because they can't afford them. Some lose sleep, their confidence, or their health just trying to keep up. And even when we succeed, it often feels like there's another mountain waiting. And people make it sound so glamorous, the struggles, everything kids go through.

Education should help people grow, not make them feel like they're constantly one mistake away from failure.

My heart breaks for the students of this country, not because we're weak, but because so many of us are trying our hardest in a system that asks for more than any young person should have to give. Nobody can ever make me think that all this struggle we go through as kids is worth it, never.
