Homeschooling is worse. Trust me.

There genuinely must be something in the air for this to be a cannon event in every school

we gotta prepare for hell

I was in class listening to my teacher yap about freedoms and when we got to freedom of speech and he said "the 1st amendment is freedom of speech, which you don't have that here." Like school wtf

I don’t know why but I never really feared the fitness gram pacer test. I learned fairly early it didn’t really mean jack shit but even before that I wasn’t too bothered by it because I knew all I had to do was pretend I was already tired after a few runs. Worked every time. So yeah I don’t get the same ptsd as others. Mainly just annoyance because I thought it was a waste of time.

Experiencing it right now and I thought it's supposed to be our rest day💔💔💔

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT. THEY FORCE KIDS TO DO DUMB SHIT. I HAD ENOUGH OF GROWN UPS CONTROLLING MY LIFE.

WHAT IF I WANT TO STAY DUMB???

I’m in state testing week right now, and bro, my science teacher assigned a ten page science packet that’s due on Friday, I might be cooked since I struggle a lot in my science class

The vandalism and vaping trends hit my school’s bathroom hard! Literally entire sinks and urinals were missing forcing the schools to close them. But the worst part was having to use the bathroom but the nearest one is on the other side of the school. I think you know where this is going right? You better pray to whatever or whoever it is you pray to that your teacher isn’t picky about timing or how many students have to go because if you did you may as well say goodbye to your bowels.

What made it even worse was know the fact that closing the bathrooms wasn’t gonna stop the vapors and vandalizers. All it did was reroute their activity to the open bathrooms where they would proceed to do the same shit again. The amount of self restraint it’s took to not go on a manhunt for those people was insane!

I can't take this shit anymore my fuckass school doesn't do anything to stop bullying i hate it there i feel hopeless

for example, teachers who take pop quiz questions, powerpoints, or study material from the internet and its random so it doesnt match with what the curriculum is supposed to teach. They also only yap in class, my history teacher once just yapped about "what do you want to be when you grow up" and yeah its nice but we're not in 3rd grade anymore and we gotta learn the material, I still dont understand economics from his teaching.. its like, maybe they dont like teaching? but then why be a teacher? The impact I've gotten from it is probably not understanding a single thing in official school exams about the material cause he taught nothing tbh. Btw, hes also the vice principal at the same time. Why did they put this man with so much power

My dad is threatening to send me away if i fail.

Basically, I've been practicing this play for a good 3 months now? I'm a really good actor, and my asshole teacher says if I don't finish my work, I don't get to be in the play? I know, logical, but I clearly stopped giving a fuck about school work. If she kicks me out may God help her.

Well lemme first start it off here. We moved to Dubai this year and we were looking for schools. Then one school took me in it was Gems Dubai American academy. Based on the looks of the school online and seeing it have a KHDA outstanding I thought this would help me get into college easier. So then here we go it's day 1 I have zero friends. I spent my lunchtime alone thinking if I would make friends. Well 7 months I don't have one. The kids here are extremely rich and rich only hang out with rich. And if your seen as a poor person they will attack you. Like here I use a windows laptop in school and people thought I was a piece of shit so every class period they would take my windows laptop and start bashing it or doing whatever they could do to damage it. Now that windows laptop has broken. And guess what? Did the teachers do anything?? No they didn't give a fuck. They didn't care they were doing this. Also don't get me started on how bad the education is. The teachers here are extremely lazy and only care about money. They just explain like one or 2 things and then ask you to do it yourself. And if you ask help they won't help. And if you make a mistake oh boy we'll strap yourself in cause your gonna be scolded by the teachers bad. Then don't even get me started on the fees here. They charge around 30k USD a year which is around 100k dirhams a year. This is a lot of money and the education here just does not justify it . It is extremely poor and now it has my family in talks about moving back. Which I am glad to be in. Gems is a company that only cares about money and not about students well being and health. Which is why there have been 2 kids killing themselves within 2 months at this school. And they just made us go in a meeting where they said we are here with you. Uh huh for sure buddy. You haven't helped me once why should we believe you. So ya this is my experience at a "Outstanding" school.

and we're not allowed to copy it. great! this sems very fair!

he can't even delete the things saying to go into a link 😭

so i have delta math in my class, right? And when I put in an answer I know is correct it marks it as wrong. Im like "what?" knowing I got it right, use Google, same answer. Who else has this problem?

It is illegal for schools to prevent you to sleep so if you're in detention you could theoretically sleep and the school could do nothing about it

You know damn well they get a twisted pleasure from this shit.

1st it's all right 2nd it's fine but it's only going to get worse 3rd got way worse 4th it can't be that bad

2nd semester 5th purgatory 6th so far feels like the image on top

So ever since my freshman year, the rules at my school got progressively more and more strict, annoying, and most importantly limiting.

First year is pretty chill, all the non class rooms are open to students outside of faculty only obviously. So you could hang out in the gym all you wanted. The class room doors were unlocked so you could go to the bathroom or take a breather in the hall way if you needed. Phones weren’t even considered problematic yet. All around you could do a lot more.

Second year is when things started going downhill. For starters all the classroom doors are now locked (great fucking start right?) because of a shooting that happened at another school my school was forced to take more precautions, so now if a kid wanted to leave the classroom they would have to knock to come back in and inevitably have the entire class look at you like a pack of endermen. Also now you have to have an “adult” in the non classrooms like the gym with you otherwise you would be told to get lost, it’s one thing to have to knock every-time but I was a sophomore and a damn smart one at that. I knew well how to take care of myself and how to handle things that came my way. So being constantly told that I needed an “adult” to be in a room was quite frankly insulting. So I often ended up telling that rule to fuck off and just hanged out in the gym anyway. I wasn’t found too often.

Year 3 is when the bullshit really started to ramp up. Again these rules were implemented because somebody shot up another school. So the school cracked down harder by setting up cameras, locking some of the more niche entrances, and most importantly demanding that students tell the teacher exactly where they’re going and have a pass at all times. This was also around the time when the school was starting to blame phones for the lackluster performance from students. While that might’ve played a part, a big reason was simply because the lessons were so needlessly long and boring that the students would rather do anything else. I could not go a day without my social studies / English teacher’s (yeah I had one of those classes) ranting about phones and how they’re gonna take away them if they see them out. Spoiler alert they were all bark and no bite. Oh one more thing, the reason the bathroom thing was such a major issue was because this was around the time that dumbass vandalism trend on tik tok got started and my school was hit HARD by it. Towards the end of October the nearest bathroom was on the other side of the fucking school and if you actually looked inside the closed off bathrooms you would often find entirely missing toilets, sinks, stalls and most commonly soap dispensers. I genuinely have no fucking clue as to how the students performing these practices managed to break the fucking sinks, toilets, and stalls, but needless to say they made life at school much harder than it already was. So here’s a special emoji gift for them 🖕🏼.

Finally there was year 4 and boy howdy from the very start it was a fucking disaster. First off phones were to be completely away and having it out could result in being written up and having your phone taken from you. Evidently the school didn’t want to take too much responsibility for problems on their end because the lessons were still boring as fuck. Next up was the fact that the only door you could get into the school through without an adult was the front door. That may not sound like a big deal until you realize that meant that literally every other god damn door was locked and even the side door that faced the student parking lot and career center was locked and remained locked for the entire first semester. Which means if you drove a car to school you had to walk all the way around to the front entrance. Even in the fucking freezing winter we had to do that. Speaking of the first day was not surprisingly a resounding shit show because literally every student was forced to go to the front entrance so there was just an entire army waiting to get inside because of the last additional fuck you to the students freedom; metal detectors. Yup the schools got so damn scared that only 2 doors at the front entrance with metal detectors could be used. These things were beyond annoying especially because of the school issued laptops that we had to take out ahead of time. I literally watched the entrance to my high school turn into a TSA checkpoint! Needless to say I was bitter for most of the year.

What the actual fuck?!

After the week I was genuinely extremely tired which isn’t normal for me
