I used to absolutely hate public schools, because my middle school counselors
were all morons, I learned nothing useful my freshman year, my teachers were all
idiots or assholes, half the material was repeat, I had to take "Foundations
Science", there was too much busywork... did I mention I hated my teachers and
resented having to take Foundations Science?
Well, the cirriculum has finally caught up to my level (hmm, a sign my learning
has slowed considerably over the last thre years), I have intelligent teachers
this year (except for my Eng. and bio teachers, but who cares, bio is *sooo*
easy and I've always hated English anyway for it's narrow-minded PC
socio-political moral values focus), the workload is actually *less* than last
year, and believe it or not, I actually find some of the material interesting.
Oh, and my counselors actually have some useful info on my options.
There's still a lot I don't like about public schools in my area, but that's
entirely the legislature's fault.
