Forced education sucks!!!!!

[ToxicPaddy]

Hello

Well, as most know people in England have to go to school from ages 4-16. But forced education sucks. If you say you really really hate school, most people will label you with some kind of disorder. But, isint it ok to hate school?

Every morning, im up at 8. I get ready and walk to school, arrive around 8.30. It is so so so so boring, especially as im at an all boys school. Also, its grammar school so they expect you to get every single little dam detail right!!! I wouldnt say its hard work, just such a drag every day! I dont want to move school, cause it was same in primary and other secondary school. So, is it normal to find school sooooooo boring? I mean, you see them kids on the asda adverts before going back to school with their new t-shirts running back to school because they are excited about a 99p t-shirt - oh boy how exciting :rolleyes: I dont feel like that at all on first day, or any day actually. Surley im not the only one?

Im staying on at 16 though cause I want to move to Australia when im older so I can get good marks then which will help. But, like I said at the begginning, people will label you with a disorder sometimes if you dont like school. Also, theres 2 kids at our school who sometimes I like and sometimes I dont. If I have a day off, they will make rumors and spread them. Like, they said I wasnt in P.E once so they told everyone I had erection problems and everyone was dumb enough to come to me and actually ask me! They are very annoying, but usually if I ignore them they go away after a while.

What can I do to like school better, even if its just a tiny bit better?

i dont like school/college or w.e and i dont have any disorder :S
i carry on going and do my best because i want the best qualifications so i can get the best possible job.

all you need is motivation and you will succeed imo.

The only thing i hate about school / college / work is getting up early.

That is also a factor aswell, cant they adjust times? I heard in America they are thinking about it, because teenagers sleep patterns change as they grow

[dirrty]

i doubt it would change in the uk because they will just say go sleep earlier or something like that.

school/college isnt that bad anyway because its giving you the chance to get a real good job in the future, whereas in some countries they dont have the opportunities we have.

You will appreciate it when you're older.

I love first days back haha I'm such a geek.

Yea, but I question how much they teach us is helpful. For example, these new 'citizenship' lessons bought in by the UK government. I asked my teacher "Will this get me a job when im older" and he blatantly said "No." Couldnt we be learning something more useful than that? And, like adults with jobs today that are well paid sometimes dont know the half of what we know - seen that new programme 'Are you smarter than a 10year old?'

Watch it - You'll be surprised.

Lol, we go to school 5-18. Wake up at like 6:30-7.

[GommeInc]

Ahhhh, I miss college :( Best days of my life :D I went to an all boys private school, thankfully not a grammar or I would be talking to you now as if I had a rocket up my bottom. It is boring, but it may get interesting when you enter Year 10 or 11.

5-18? I thought in the USA it was optional after 16?

Do you catch those yellow school buses? I think they look good, better than here in England

LMAO omg what did people say?

[jesus]

LMAO omg what did people say?its still in use now i see it here and there, everyone was just like 'errr' when they did it cuz its nothing like an american bus

[Shawnstra]

Some parts of education should be changed. My teacher once said, why do we learn how to draw an animal cell. Are we going to, in the future if we're a doctor, say that "THIS VIRUS IS AFFECTING YOUR VACUOLE, WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS, YOU DIE!"

Lmao that teacher cracks me up.

I have to get up at 7:30am every morning, and dont get back from college till 6:00pm some days. And I still love it! I think its because Im learning something I chose to do, rather than having to learn subjects I dont care about :P

Yea, at the end of this year we pick subjects (options) which should be good. Also, I think we should pick what sport we want to do in P.E to make it more fun, we're still getting fitness aint we?

[RedStratocas]

obviously they need to force more education on you. because that's way too many exclamation points.

& i have to wake up at 6 for school, no complaining! but then again i wouldnt trade spots.

[ToxicPaddy]

I only used exclamation marks on the first post, it was long and I had to get the message out seeing as it was the topic starter, right?

lozl, i doubt people click threads based on how many exclamation points a title has.

Of course it's boring. GCSEs are a certificate of tolerance. It's all just a work ethic test.

[Eamonn]

I don't mind school tbh, the thing that gets me is the early morning and how day after day it's the same thing :\ especially since I have the exact same timetable as last years, this year, oh well last year anyway =]

[Ezzie.]

Meh, I find school fun, been out of school for 3 years due to having chronic fatigue so I guess I just appreciate what i've got abit more, I don't know :p

But anyhow: do you work hard in school? Because just sitting around etc actually bores you more than doing work.

Apologies if the above doesn't make sense :p But i've just had my nose rebroken the past few days and I feel abit dizzy :p

[Sentrax]

We don't need no education.
lol
Pink Floyd moment.

Well, mate, it has to be done. That's all that can be said. When you're older and you have qualifications you can do whatever you want. But until then you just have to grin and bare it.

lol your moaning about getting up at eight? thats a luxury.

[Wootzeh]

get some friends

Yeah, your right. I used to hate school, had to learn what they said. With college you learn what you want to :).

[ToxicPaddy]

Firstly, I do have friends, lots actually and I go to town with them every weekend. Also, I do do work and work hard but its still boring.
