The School System
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
The School System
The School System (and Why I Hate It)
Common Core: The Common Core standards don't really fit with how I, as an individual, learn. They're completely nonsensical. Seriously, mixing math and language arts? That doesn't work.
Teachers: My teachers are complete idiots. They don't allow us to have opinions, and some teachers discriminate against students because of their ientities. That really could get them fired. (Right?)
Discipline and Punishment: School discipline is very strange. For example, if a student gets in a physical fight with another student they get like 3 days suspension, but if one student verbally harasses another it's rare for the student to even get ISS.
Basically, I hate school.

Coolio :) I live in a regular suburban house in ol' Nanuet, but upstate it's a raised ranch.
Spammie says mood. Mood? What kind of mood are you in Spammie?

Update: My friend and I are working on a site with tons of unschooling/homeschooling resources, alternative schools, and ideas for speaking out at school! It's called Resist Conformity and it's a Webs site, so you should Google it and check it out. Oh, and tell your friends!

Double-update: The site is still rather unknown, so it won't pop up right after typing the name.

Triple update: You probably won't be able to find it at all, actually, unless I disclosed the full address. And I know the Admins won't OK that for very rational reasons, so yes.
