Is it normal school is a waste of time?
The only useful thing about it is that they teach basic maths and english, the rest is pretty much useless shit.
The school system never changes, and they drill the exact same thing in childrens minds so they think the same. Most of the scoring systems are outdated and do not work.
Honestly, I've learnt more grammar and other educational things on the internet then sitting at school with a teacher who is a control freak while ten other children constantly talk over the teacher and disrupt the lesson.
I feel like the school system should change so that children have free will in what they want to learn and don't, of course maths and english would still be mandatory, but the other subjects can get fucked.
If you wanted to become a author after school, why the fuck would you want to take sport lessons?
Give a child a laptop/computer, and let them learn what they want to learn. I'm not saying to let children play games all day, but let them watch and experience things that will benefit them in the future.
Aspiring artist? Let them draw in photoshop and watch paint tutorials. Want to become a builder? Let them choose activities involving building/creating something, bring the required materials and let the child build it.
I hate how the school system wants to control every single thing a child does. Your english class doing an essay about a book? Already have a book in mind? LOL sorry but you can't choose, the school chooses the book, even if you don't know shit about it or that you can't properly write about it.
Doing a drama performance? Whoops, you're only aloud two options specifically picked out by the school; Overused Play Involving Instant Love Juliet And Suicidal Romeo
And who can forget I Am Mysterious Because Of My Mask And A Girl Falls In Love With Me But I'm Actually A Fucking Ghost
Sorry but you have no will or freedom in school, they don't want you to think, they want you to follow. Then you'll grow up to be a good little follower, working for the government until you die. As long as you don't stray, you'll be Perfect. The government loves you, and only wants the Best for their little workers.
