School, a place we're required to go to by law until the age of 16. It pisses me off so much. As if the people around me aren't annoying enough, I have to deal with rude teachers that care more about what I wear rather than my education. Teachers bringing their personal problems into the classroom and letting it out on students. I don't complain when I'm assigned a ton of homework and I have to stay up late to finish it, so why do you complain about staying up late to grade it? You're the one assigning it. Because 7 hours of school isn't enough, we're assigned 2 hours of homework. Weekends are supposed to be spent out with friends and family, but some teachers just love to assign homework to stress us out even more. My parents want me to do good in school but it's not the same as it was for them. I have no motivation to try hard, I just do what needs to be done to get a completion grade, I don't care if it's crappy or not. School was fun when I didn't have to worry about the idiots around me, annoying teachers, and learning pointless stuff that won't help me at all later in life. Why aren't we learning things like how to fill out college and job applications, or being financially stable? When am I ever going to need to know the circumference of a circle, of the slope of x?
