Okay, so...
Lately I've been noticing that other people my age, that live in different countries are way more educated than a typical American the same age...
I don't even speak a little bit of Spanish. I never got a foreign language credit, but I graduated, and I'm like the only one who never took it?
I feel like me, a 20 year old, is less educated than a 16 year old from the UK.
I also recently learned the American English language is a simplified version... *sigh*
The dumbing down of the American society is depressing. I honestly feel robbed.
Our school systems here are **** too.
****ty lunch, ****ty school board of education, ****ty teachers who bully you more than teach you. I'm honestly not surprised...
My 9th grade teacher literally robbed me of a whole day of learning... (wasn't the first time but the worst..)
I had an EKG done the day before, and missed his class. I tried telling him to let him know, and he said;
"stop talking" "but---" "stop talking I don't need or want to hear what you have to say"
"who thinks ---- should go to the back of class?" (the other half of the room was a lab of like ten computers closed off by a door..)
EVERYONE raised their hands... I got up and just tore him apart... and got belligerent.. I don't want to put what I said/did online, because it is too embarrassing that I would even say/do anything so vile.
My dad called the school, and said he was going to be on call, and if this happened again, he would come handle him on his own, because you just don't harass a child like that..-- the principal knew the threat was serious so he FINALLY did something.
He also docked me one letter grade on a project once. Because I told someone to "shut up" presenting my project to the class--- he told me I was stupid and so was my project. So I said to stfu and let me finish! His "prezi" (website we used for the smart board presentation) was absolutely awful. He got an A to spite me. He even let me know I deserved an A and that he didn't give me one.... But the other kid didn't get docked for being a disrespectful audience member, which being a respectful audience member was apart of the grade. He knows I was on an IEP and struggled to keep my grades up so he said that to make me upset... That would have been my first A on a project... (Oh and it was obvious a lot of people enjoyed my project! I did it for that reason. it was during the time we were reading of mice and men, and it was about friendship. I added a song I knew everyone liked *count on me Bruno mars* and added photos of rob and big, and beavis and butthead, because I KNEW it would get attention! I was the only one there, wise enough to make something really enjoyable yet meeting all of the criteria! I went home and cried for hours.....)
I started the local homeschool program they started up that year a week later after an argument with another teacher. She threatened to put me back in ISS if I didn't pick my head up. Mind me, my IEP was for math.. She was supposed to help anyone on an IEP, and in ISS she made me stay 3extra days, I was behind a week on work. I begged her to help me. She said "nope do your work and get out of iss". After the third extra day, I walked into class and put my head down during notes... My dog was hit by a car (and it was my fault...) and I explained I would get truancy if I took off another day, that I was up all night crying.. She knows my beloved family dog was put down two weeks before. She GRABBED ME and shook me and said "too bad your dog died how is that my problem, do you think I enjoy getting up everyday?" "Do you think I enjoy it? I wake up at 6am to look at your ugly ass for eight hours. Don't touch me, swear on everything I will sue you for your car, your house, and everything you own." She was so shocked I said that (I still laugh at how shocked she was) so she told me to leave, so I made a scene and left and that was the last time I walked into a public school as a student.
(a yr after that, she was talking trash on me in class around other students when my friend mentioned my name. so that really just shows her maturity level for someone in their fifties)
I went to a wonderful school for one year before that. You had no stress of homework. All the work was on computers and I actually learned. I was good at math! I was excelling and doing well in eighth grade. Even though you don't take state tests until 10th they still did OGT practice testing for History, which was the most failed test by students. I finished all of my work two months early! I could have done more, but I chilled the rest of the two months stress free and went into freshman year with half of a freshman credit already. Then that's when it all went downhill....:/
The law is that a school has to provide transportation to people who switch due to the reasons why we left. They were fighting it as hard as they could to not take us, they even had someone time the whole ride there and back.... They tried to sabotage it and drive extra slow. --- We won! But the school moved even farther away, making it impossible to go everyday...
Every day I think about how my education was robbed from me.
This might seem like a bit too much to type, but I had to explain the horror of the American Education System somehow... I do have a few teachers who I love...
If you hate children, please do me a favor, and don't teach!!!!! I actually suffered from this..... even two years after graduating.
Have you had a bad experience like this growing up in school? I feel totally robbed, I constantly worry now because before some adult classes, you need to take math tests. And I know I don't know anything past Algebra 1.... They failed to prepare me for my future. It is their job, and they failed.
Not only is the work simplified, but most of the teachers don't deserve to teach. I have had more bad teachers than good ones. Since kindergarten I was treated horribly by all of the adults... If someone is on an IEP, isn't it your duty to make sure they learn everything and not simplify it for an "easy" way out... Like... Sorry but if I was the one who made the rules, everyone would learn at the same difficulty and not excel some students while holding some back... Its like being the ignored middle child or something wtf. like some kids were so babied they could barely read a sentence at age 15!!!!!! COME ON WAKE UP AMERICA
if you aren't American here is a link to the test that we have to pass to graduate.
this is probably last years test or a mixture of questions from the last few years to get an idea on what level of education were on.
