There are too many things that I hate to list =/

FINE. I'll talk.
The number one thing I hate the most about *public* school is their unholy connection to the CPS.
Honestly. It's like you have to be an ignorant moron who belive the most minor un-important thing is the biggest major thing. Honestly. What's to point of smelling like flowers and crap (long story. basically, I don't bathe often {honestly, I only take a shower like once or maybe twice a week [And no, my parents have nothing to do with it.]})? So what if some kid is Mennonite (my friend)?
That doesn't mean abuse! (My 20-year-old friend: "You take showers!? I didn't kids still did that!" Me: "Usually I don't when I don't come here")
The second thing I hate is the whole "homework" concept. Honestly.
We go to that drafty building for EIGHT ****ING HOURS. And when you finally let us out you give us MORE **** to do!?
That's absurd. How can we enjoy being with our families and just being ourselves and resting... IF YOU MAKE US DO MORE **** AT HOME.
There are some brainiacs (like me) who have no use for the work seeing as they already get it. Why bother with doing crap if you have no real benefit from it?
Hell, I'd say my brother can almost match me and he's only in 4th grade (I'm in 8th) yet he has low SOL scores. (Don't EVER present him with a multiple choice question and expect him to be right. His mind sees it as a guessing game.) Yet his regular grades are fine.
It's the opposite way for me. I have sucky grades, but I ALWAYS pass the SOLs, AND I'm usually able to comprehend the "lesson" before they finish. Apparently, I was the only kid in my math class (I forget which one, though. x3) to pass advance o.0 (Me? Pass Advance in MATH? o.0)
If I ever become a teacher (which I probably wont due to those insignifigaint- I think you get my point), I'll just explain the concept (in such a way that I don't make the molehill into a mountain, yet I go in-depth enough to tell them what to do. Perhaps I can develop a system so I know when to shut up. x3), maybe do an activity, and give them a worksheet or two. Do this for 2-3 concepts and surprise 'em with a big ol' pop quiz. x3
Which brings me to my next point. The teachers.
Not all of them are bad, I'll admit. I acctually like a couple of them (My reading/english teacher... most people hate him or think he's a weirdo, but he can be pretty cool depending on how you look at him. {He IS weird, though. He tries to be weird or boring or a nerd or something, when in real life he's actually a punk (He has a TATTOO. Nerds/whatever he's trying to be DON'T have Tattoos..) x3 Sometimes he tries to hard... lol. [How do we know? we can sometimes see a small glimps of it. And how do we know about him being a punk? We caught him of guard and somehow got him to tell us about what he does outside of school x3 (He's usually all "My personal life shouldn't be any of your concern")]}. Yeah, he's weird, but he's awesome =3
And my Challange teacher from last year as well. She's just like me. {You ever seen that classroom? I'm surprised she can find her lesson plans in that mess x3} How often do you find a teacher that's like you? Not often, I don't think.
My teacher in Kindergarden/1st grade {she does double-duty on us... I forget exactly how she did it. I think she teaches a lesson to one grade while the other does work or something =/ [The 1st graders "prime time" was when the kindergartners had their nap time. o.0 I wonder if any of the kindergartners secretly listen in on the 1st graders? (we shared the same room, since there where only ever like 6 1st graders there o.0)]} was awesome. Then again, I guess everyone can say that.
Same goes for my Second grade teacher. She was awesome. And her sub was cool too {She had a baby, so she had a sub come in for a long while}
and in 5th grade, all my teachers rocked. The one that stands out is my Math/Writing teacher. Hahah, she was obsessed with frogs. I swear, no matter where you look, you'd see SOMETHING relating to frogs. She even has a few frogs in a tank. And like my Second Grade teacher, she also had a baby, and had a cool sub. She even gave us all a picture of him! =3 {I saw her the other day when I went back there and she was still awesome! ...I don't think I saw alot of frogs, though =/ [That was her quirk. a room filled with nothing but frogs o.0 it even spilled over into the hallways and I'm like "Is our mascot a frog? o.0"] Then again, it was only like the second week of school. Five bucks says if I go back there within the next month, I'll see it infested with frog stuff o.0 [Maybe next time I go there I'll give her plush frog... or something...]})
Okay, I guess the Teachers up until 5th grade are good. 6th and later though, say "bye-bye" to your childhood. =\
Don't even get me started on Middle and High School students. They are a nightmare.
Idiots. All of them. All they care about is looking sexy and being "in" and crap.
Spreading gossip and rumors about "OMG She's dating this guy, EEEWWW!!" "Did you hear? So-and-so likes (something not considered "in")" and shunning people just because they have a certain interest or dress a certain way.
What happened to the acceptance we had back in Elementary School!?
Gawd.
And that's only the TIP of the iceburg.
