What do you hate about school?

[namiieco]

Everything. Break me of of this prison and give me the courage to die.

 

[Koden]

I just don't like being surrounded by people with the intellectual status of a pile of dirt

 

[Aquari]

wrong thread lmao!!

 

[Mints]

waking up early, tons of homework, strict teachers, and there are lots of jerks in my school :-(((

 

[himeki]

uhh too many people, too many arseholes, teachers assuming sitting alone=lonely with no friends so asks if theyre ok every 5 minutes, mixed ability classes

 

[Aniko]

Student! I was not the kind to socialize and thought other student made us lost our time. I was the kind to read the books and do the exercices by myself because the class was too slow.

Group work. I think I've talked to a cup of rice that was smarter than most folks I've had to work with. Also, when I was learning to drive, I had driver's ed at 6:30 in the morning, during winter, and we were always on the expressway. Nothing quite like ice+traffic+groggy students, am I right? But seriously, the early mornings killed. I never really minded homework all that much, and even my worst teachers were pretty okay.

I'd say the pressure on tests and quizzes here in Poland. The tests don't really rely on critical thinking like they did when I lived in London, a lot of it is based on theory :/
It always discourages me when I'm studying for a test and I'm thinking... this has nothing to do with what I want to do in the future. Why am I studying this?
I wish there were more lessons like there were in England... if I didn't move I would have picked my GCSE options already, and the classes were more relevant to my future- there was a wide variety such as Business, Textiles, Citizenship- whatever you want to do!
Maybe it's because I haven't lived in Poland for long, but studying is a LOT of effort for me- I guess there's still some of a language barrier, maybe that's why, but I keep questioning the Polish education system xD
In the end, facts and figures that I forget right after the test won't get me as far as critical thinking, which is why I'm grateful I learnt those essential skills. I plan to go to university and work outside of Poland.
I suppose that's the only major complaint I have about school- I really question the education system here and as a result I really lost motivation I'm not saying the facts and figures are useless, in fact thanks to them I can sound really smart, and there is SOME critical thinking there, especially in Polish literature, but the tests are just... difficult. It caused me a lot of stress and crying, but I guess it paid off because I had a really good grade average.
The food in my school is actually quite nice, and if anything you can always bring food from home or buy something at the shop. Teachers actually have a good sense of humour haha, and they're more laid back than in England- there's even a facebook page dedicated to funny quotes of teachers from my city. Lessons are boring, for the most part, but sometimes they're okay- depends on the teacher and topic.

The fact that you have to stay for hours at a time. I would put a second reason, but I don't think I'd get good feedback if I did...

 

[Invisible again]

Basically everything. I hated school with my every being. So glad I graduated. lol

 

[nintendofan85]

Many of the other students.
I like my nerdy, grunge, and punk friends, but there's few people I can get along with other than them. Most of the athletic kids, especially the guys, support Trump.

 

[piichinu]

i dont like homework after 7 hours of school leave me THE **** alone

 

[Daydream]

I really love school. It's a great place to meet other people and hang out (more than studying tbh, lol).

The only thing I hate is teachers. I was lucky enough to meet the BEST teacher on Earth in college, my German teacher. This woman must be the sweetest person on Earth. But, I also probably met the worst teachers ever. I could name a few lol!

 

[SilkSpectre]

I always hated groupp projects and public speaking.

 

[lovendor]

I hated people who walked too slowly or stopped abruptly in the hall, and people who disrespected teachers when they were just trying to do their job. Now that I'm in college I see a lot less of the latter but both are still (and probably will always be) a thing in schools of any level education.

 

[vel]

teachers. idc about the teaching style or crap, or the way the state tests people. if the teacher is crap, i can't muster up a good attitude to learn. it might be petty, but without a good teacher, i won't try to learn anything. i hold grudges so hard, that i won't do good in a class just to spite that teacher.

 

[MokaAkashiya]

I hated how everyone who I thought was my friend at the time stopped talking to me, had no friends for about the remainder of my secondary school (2 years). Didn't get any new friends until college.

 

[Corrie]

I was going to say homework but group projects take the cake for sure. Especially those where you couldn't pick who were in your groups so you were stuck with the tards.

 

[Touko]

Teachers. I do have one good teacher who understands our class but others push us too much and expect us to understand the lesson when we clearly don't.

And public speaking of course, but I do it privately.

 

[Dim]

The druggies. Worst type of people I ever met.
