School... Why go?

So this one's about school. How many of you guys go to a school like mine? If you do, do you like going to a school where you get called stupid? Do you like to be called a moron all the time? I don't. We go to school to increase our knowledge, not to have it questioned, right? Or do we only go because it's the law? Are teachers only there for the paycheck? Do they care if we pass or fail? Should the county fire the whole staff and just start over? Don't get me wrong, I love some of my teachers, but some of them aren't fit to be teachers.

I don't care what teacher reads this or what they think about it. I'm pretty sure that if any do, they'll know who I'm talking about. 

It's kind of ridiculous to call the student's dumb because they haven't sat around reading about what the teachers think they should. We've been too busy reading books about vampires, and werewolves, and faeries to even think about reading about the guy who perfected the assembly line. And we don't have time to read the chapter if you only give us two days to finish all the work assigned. There just isn't enough time. And it's not interesting. I want to be interested in what I read. I also don't want to get yelled at for getting a question wrong. At least I attempted to find the answer and thought that maybe it was right. Yelling at students for a wrong answer is what pushes kids to drop out. Do you ever think that if the teachers were nicer and care more that more kids would graduate? I think so.

Another thing is when teachers yell for asking questions. It's kind of confusing when you ask if anyone has a question and then yell because of the question asked. Yeah, if it was a stupid question like, "When will penguins take over the world," I would understand. But if you're asked if something will be on the quiz... That's not exactly a bad question. The sad part is that it was answered in a nice voice. It was a minute later that you got mad over it and told everyone to stop asking what will be on the test. You want us to be prepared but you won't even tell us what to study? That's why no one has a really good grade. And you teach so fast that most of us have to teach  ourselves. To be fair, this teacher will help if someone goes to them with a question, but sometimes that's not all we need. Something else that bothered me today was when the teacher said that I could go seventh period to take a test that I can't take and they weren't even there. I won't be at school tomorrow, they won't be there Monday, and the last day before Thanksgiving break is Tuesday and we're watching a movie. We only have a week to make up tests, so what am I supposed to do? If I don't make it up, I'll get a zero. I can't afford to let my grade drop that far.

Teachers like this shouldn't be teachers. Teachers should want their students to learn and they should try to teach in a way that makes the students feel like they should keep coming back. High school is supposed to be the best four years of our lives. How can it be the best years if all it does is make you mad and stressed to the point that you don't even know why you go? The kids who quit at 16 and get their GED's are the real smart ones. They might not be as educated, but at least they don't have to deal with the crap you get from the people who claim to care about your education. I think school would work better if the teachers were payed based on the grades their kids make. Maybe then we'd have a higher average GPA and we wouldn't have the state coming to watch the teachers to make sure they're doing their jobs. I'm tired of the bad grades I make because the teachers can't teach. Well, actually they can, they just choose not to.
