From our first day at school we are told that "Knowledge is Power", and it's true, a good education will help you get whatever you want in life. But school isn't the only place we can learn. We are lead to believe that our grades are the be all and end all. That they determine our lives. To an extent, this is also true. But SCHOOL is awful!
School is a prison, full of arrogant, stinking, adolescents that think they know everything, when, in fact, they know barely anything. The short amount of time they have spent on this earth is barely enough to start grasping at principles that professors are working on. And whilst our minds are beginning to take on the form of an adults, and we are leaving a lot of our childish ways, a lot of the people in higher years at school are still incredibly infantile. Although it isn't the other pupils that are the worst, it's the teachers. The teachers who, in one breath, are telling us to start acting like an adult and take more responsibility, and in the next are scolding us. Still treating us like we are little primary ones! Or the ones that go through lessons so incredibly fast that no one understands. Their excuse? We have "no time!". No, you're wrong, we have the same amount of stuff to learn as every other subject, and they are not rushing it all!
And whilst I say all this none of it is what annoys me most about school, what annoys me most is that I love learning. I love knowledge. I love getting an education. But I hate school! And whilst I love school, I cannot stand it! Especially when people tell you your classes will be full of mature people as you get further up school, cause they're not. While the disruptive and immature people are less and further between, they are still there.
But knowledge is power, and education is the tool that will allow me to change the world... So I'd better stick it out eh? Only two more years anyway!
