Everything you said makes so much sense, you said a much smarter version of what I was thinking in my headRemy Break wrote: 12 Aug 2026, 13:11tbf there are kids who really want careers connected to the 'core' subjects- Reading, English, Math, Science, History...Kennedy Cheek wrote: 12 Aug 2026, 12:48I’m sorry, school really is so silly, wdym I have to go to a building for almost 8 hours and learn about dozens of things I’ll never use. Like school develops so much anxiety in children but they are so afraid of failing. I know it’s impacted me a lot because it feels like you’re preparing your entire life to get into a different school to then work your life away just so you can be called successful. I have a lot more to say on the topic but I’m not gonna write a 10 pages essay right nowAvery Gray wrote: 12 Aug 2026, 12:18 It’s the first day back to school for me.This sucks. I’m not ready to wake up early ever morning again!
It would be a lot harder to start those careers without any foundational knowledge. I don't think school itself is the problem; I think the issue is how long we stay stuck in the same subjects.
Like.. I already spent 12 years doing the "core classes" in school only to turn around and do the exact same classes in college because it was required and classified as a "common core". At some point it feels less like learning and more like repeating the same cycle. (btw, every criminal justice class I've taken repeat the exact same points in a cycle so it's just.. idk I felt even a degree was pointless if it was going to repeat.)
I think school is fine in general, but not every class needs to be required for every student. Some classes are interesting or useful and people take them because they want to, but others are required even when they don't fit a student's interests or future goals. For example, in my high school, we had classes like "bible study", psychology, health science, criminal justice, etc.
I wouldn't ahve chosen bible study or psychology because they weren't things I cared about but they were choices that counted towards specific credits that counted towards your graduation.
I feel school has value, but I really think the structure could be better. Not everything needs to drag into college, nor does every student need teh exact same set of classes to be successful.
If I had to choose things that I want to see revamped or overhauled, it's literally these three things because I see problems in all of them and I know it causes stark opinions because people feel so strongly about it.
1) Government - not going into details
2) School - sort of explained but not the full thought process
3) Corrections - for the love of god why retribution why not rehabilitation!
One of my biggest problems is the time commitment. I think that there are so many good things about school, but I think the structure could be made to the point where kids and teens don’t go home mentally exhausted and drained every single day. Right now it feels like my entire life is just school because I’m there all day, I go home and study or do homework. I also have 3-4 classes who have guaranteed to have tests all on the same day on a weekly basis which is a lot to handle. It’s making me dread starting after school activities which I likely won’t be able to do because there is no world where I can do all the work I need to and an extracurricular without staying up unreasonable late. Sorry for the rant, school is just really stressing me out rn
