I have that hanging in my history classroom. Whenever the school feels a little too "constrictive" and I can feel it wearing on my students, I point it out and remind them not to despair and remember that experiencing thoughts that result from learning is amazing.
be self taught, never institutionalized, i learned more studying what i wanted than i ever did in actual classes, i studied for 17 years, none of the things i learned was from a classroom
@Jc Gaming Its not just waste of time. Almost, but pretty much all you do after the 7th grade is just random shit that you don't need in life that's why school is a problem and increases the suicide rate every year.

I totally agree with you. With every subject I know exactly what type of quesions they will ask. I know what they want you to learn, but I only learn what I know is gonna be the most helpful on the test. I procrastinate a lot and work my ass of the day before I have a test or have to finish an assignment. If learing was like a game then learing random interesting things from youtube or books or other random sources would be an open world game, and school would be a linear repetitive game. School feels like an endless repetitive stressfull forced competition. I usually score really good, but since januari I just lost the motivation. I have a hell alot of assignments that should have been finished days ago and I have just become a mess. It's not just school tho. I feel like social media and school have made me this fucked up being. I'm way to worried about prestations and what people think about me that I have just become this messed up piece of shit. (I got a little carried away with this sorry lol)
@@PrimeEra_1 that’s harsh, especially since most of the doctors, nurses, and scientists who have put endless work in their careers to get where they are at are literally the ones exhausting themselves in a 24 hour shift to save people right now. So, we’re they also brainwashed by the system too? No, obviously not, they cared about creating a change whether it was small or big and in my opinion, if I live a life of anger towards school then in the end, it’s I who will suffer not the education system. Does the education system suck and needs to change? Absolutely, but to just say to “throw it all away,” is completely wrong since generations of folks have fought for their rights to be able to afford and attend a school. (Don’t mean any harm and this is just my opinion, so please don’t think that I am trying to attack you for yours! 😅)
@@user-uh9uv2yw9h Yes, because that’s how the world works. No matter your ideas, it’s not going to change the fact that majority of people just care about degrees and how long you’ve stayed in school. don’t mind me, i’m just spouting my thoughts
@@Anxmaly666 Even when you got a good point they still wont listen, I try really hard to just grow some balls and tell it to them, but ik that would just lead to more chaos
Same. I’m at a 78 in math, which makes me nervous about my parents reaction. It isn’t even that bad, since it’s still passing but i’m stress because finals and official report cards are going out.
I hate when teacher be like “we are here for you” but end up giving 3-4 hours of homework, tests every week, projects every week and constant stress. School ruins everything. If you want to play a game you cant cause you got work for every class. But fun fact that homework spelled backwards in latin means child abuse 😂.
Most teachers especially the ones I had always wanted to teach more and didn’t want to teach the lesson that they were given but since that’s the the district gave them they have no other choice but one of my old teachers usually says fuck it n make us have free time until it’s actually important to get work done for the finals lol
In math class we learn something for a week. We then have to do a test on that crap. Then we move on to a different topic that’s completely different. So we basically forget everything.
School is in fact more of a student selection than a place to learn, the only one picked are those who are able to overcome stressful situations while doing random and stupid stuff such as learning useless knowledge by hearth without asking themselves why, calling us stupid, not because we are, but because they want others student to believe that we are wrong in the way we think, while grade are just a carrot on a stick for all of those too dumb to understand the situation in which they are.
@Commenter Dude OP never bothered to excel in courses where leadership counts. Higher education provides plenty of opportunities to lead... Group projects, research projects, clubs and extracurriculars...
The one thing I hate is when teachers decide to shame a student for asking a question. We’re here to learn, not get embarrassed in front of our peers. And their top priority should be helping us pass their class anyways..😬
Like “dumb question” or not, they should be guiding people to passing their class, not beating their mentality because they don’t know how to solve a problem & want help.
Yep, my old history teacher did that. Our classes ended up being her asking a question, no one answering because if they get it wrong she'll give you a blunt put-down and humiliate you for getting it wrong (it didn't even have to be 'wrong' either, she would do that if it wasn't the answer she wanted), then the same 2 pupils would always answer the questions and my teacher would be actually confused as to why no one wanted to speak out, despite several people telling her bluntly that she was rude. Even me, someone who has extreme anxiety speaking in public, would try answering the questions eventually because we'd sit there for genuinely 10-15 mins in silence most lessons waiting for someone to answer and it was painful. Keep in mind that this was my A-level class meaning we were 17-18 years old, not children (Not that it's okay to behave like that with children either). Absolutely kills the subject of history when you don't feel able to discuss a topic and give your own views on things, they just want you to regurgitate arguments, no room for individuality. There are better teachers out there, but it's a shame that education doesn't reward them, and it incentivises the behaviour of teachers like my old one.
I know, I relate. I've stopped asking questions because the way they tell me it's wrong in front of everyone embarrasses me. I try even though i'm always wrong. But I also make myself look more stupid if I don't answer the question so what do I even do lol
I had a chemistry teacher last year, and I'm pretty sure she's been fired. She was always saying that we were "stupid" for not understanding what she was explaining, yet everyone always failed in her classes, like 27 out of 30 students in all of the 3 classes she was teaching (in mine 16 out of 21, me included). She was always, ALWAYS yelling and humiliating everyone. We were all scared to ask questions for that. And also because, for example, this one time, when a girl said "excuse me, I didn't understand the last sentence you said, could you please explain that again?" And screaming the teacher said NO! NO! NO! *YOU* DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION!!! YOU ALL NEVER PAY ATTENTION, I'M TRYING TO DO MY FUCKING JOB HERE! and she gave the girl a 5 because of that, ruining her grades. She also did that a lot, I even have some of the screeming sections recorded if things got out of hand. When she got fired, everyone pitied the sub teacher, because he had a lot of work to do, everyone was failing in chemistry, but the good thing is that he is a big sweetheart, and is much easier now.

In my opinion i think people who say that school subjects are dumb together i disagree with, i do think kids should be educated, but i think the system is just terrible. In the real world you get things done through connections, cooperation and hard work as opposed to cramming a bunch of things to memorize and forget and never be of use

My parents expect me to get straight A's, study all day, do chores, stay at a healthy weight, be nice and respectful, have friends to their likings, get up and go to bed on time, study my ass off, never have time for fun, and *_still_* be mentally sane. I cannot do that okay bye.
I've been mentally sane since middle school and I'm in my junior year and they tell me to relax, relax, relax, while they get angry at me for feeling this anxious STOP! This isn't helping me! I'm tense on my shoulders, my heart is racing and I'm shivering in cold sweat here, how are you not understanding my situation?
I could’ve done that without complaining if only I didn’t get people’s perspectives. For example: “Oh my god the kid screaming is so annoying” and then I respond with “really? I wasn’t even paying attention to him screaming.” And then a week later I start complaining. There is so many things I could’ve done only if I didn’t understand people, yet people don’t understand me nor do I understand them, everybody just criticizes me for not understanding them but yet when I have a huge problem; nobody is there for me and then the only advice I get is “get over it stupid kid.” I hope I can just ignore it and move on; I hate to get stuck on something and always think about it.
This is a compliment because I’m the quiet kid, like when I say quiet I mean social anxiety quiet because I love talking to people but people at my school are just rude. Anyways I feel very strongly how this world is so fucked up and how the top 1% have made school and 9-5 jobs to make us slaves and robots for their benefit: money and control
This is where my school mentality is at. Who cares about how others do. As long as *I* pass this course, then I got nothing school-related to worry about.
Knowledge that doesn't intrigue and resonate with you is knowledge unlearned. When learning becomes a checklist item to mark off, then the objective doesn't become about the learning anymore, but just about passing. Like an obstacle. That's no way to learn at all.
Oh you're here. Love your work HFP and you're absolutely right too. Learning should be intriguing, inspiring, and interesting, but instead school made it a chore, back when we are still kids and just starting school, we came in with curiosity and intrigued to learn, but school just takes that away, now we walk into school just to wait for it to end
Yep being in school right now school is just getting in the way of the things I want to do in life. You want to work a job where you get actual benefits and insurance and make a living wage? Guess you have to sell your soul to school and pay the colleges to put you in debt. I don’t even know what is better for my future be enslaved to debt or risk working a job where I won’t even be able to pay rent.
"school don't give you enough time to absorb all the information" It's true. Everytime I want to understand a thing, there is a new study material comes
absolutely. they want us to have a long time retention rate so we can use what we’ve learned for the next grade, but don’t give us enough time to retain. it just sits in your conscious mind instead of your subconscious (where its “learned”)
Totally agree with this!! In high school I took precalculus and didn't understand a lot of it. I passed the class but I especially struggled with simplifying radicals and other things. When I went to college, I took precalc again by mistake, and I was reintroduced to the stuff I was troubled with previously.. and finally understood! I was really happy haha. It's been 5 years since I took any math, but I still understand. I knew I hadn't memorized it, I truly understood, and it made me so proud of myself. I wish school gave everyone more time to feel as proud of themselves as I was
The reason why I hate school is because I don’t find the topics interesting, and I just don’t wanna spend my time and effort on learning something I don’t love or won’t use.
One of the most frustrating things is when you know something right off the top of your head and the teacher says "show your work" but you don't know how to explain it and the teacher thinks you cheated and you have no way to defend yourself because your parents take the teachers side smh
"Show your work" is such a useless phrase. Sometimes you didn't do any work that you noticed. That's a different problem to not understanding. If you can answer correctly but can't explain why, the teacher should teach you how to explain yourself. But instead they just assume you cheated or don't understand if you don't instinctively know what they want to see.
Woman **literally has a stroke in the street** Me: The breakup of Yugoslavia occurred as a result of a series of political upheavals and conflicts during the early 1990s. After a period of political and economic crisis in the 1980s, constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia split apart, but the unresolved issues caused bitter inter-ethnic Yugoslav wars. The wars primarily affected Bosnia and Herzegovina, neighbouring parts of Croatia and, some years later, Kosovo.
My teachers are always asking me, “why don’t you try to get better grades? You’re naturally so talented and intelligent.” And I always have to reply with, “because grades are below me.”
@@damonnugent1993 Let me help you there. I get assigned an essay. There is set criteria for a topic of exploration relating to a book we’ve studied. I begin writing... Next moment, I’ve written an essay with vocab so beautiful and alliterative-ly poetic it could make Shakespeare commit a tragedy. I’ve expanded on the topic into the external world, forgetting the book entirely. I’ve applied every bit of complex philosophical, existential and psychological concept and metalanguage I could fathom from the pages of my weekend’s extra reading. And to top it all off, I manage to connect the essay prompt, of how an author uses literary features to display grief, into an existential question so deep you could probably fit the Mariana Trench in there.

They give us multiple classes where more than likely 90% of will be put to waste. Time and energy lost, only producing stress as the days go by, all reduced to nothing. Nothing matters at the end because you can really only choose one. By the time you're in high school you should be allowed to pick which career you want, and learn everything on there. There's no point in learning all of this useless algebra when one day you might choose to become an artist or maybe historian, either way no job besides jobs related to math requires such knowledge. It's useless and time consuming. Someone correct me if I had flaws in my statement.
I hate to say that everytime my mom or dad asks me about school or how my perfomance is going, I immediately tense up and get filled with dread. It's like everytime we talk about school, I just hate it. It's as if I get scared or uncomfortable just hearing about school. I dunno how to explain it, but that's just how it is for me. edit: hello. same op here, three something years later. i'm sure no one likely really cares for an update but i've come back to say that i'm doing better than i did during the pandemic. i'm doing better at school and i'm striving hard to reach honors as it is my final year of high school. the pandemic and the quarantine was a really awful time for me mentally. doing anything that is related to academics was really tough. i just didn't have it in myself to do those during that time so i was really held back and i didn't benefit in studying at all at that time. however, as things are somewhat back to normal now (such that, i can finally go back to school face to face), i'm really proud of my progress in that i can finally do my academics without really feeling bad about any incomplete works. i hope that this can inspire some people, even if a little.

I learned English when I was 5. my mother language is Albanian and I lived in Slovenia. I learned English thru the internet by watching cartoon videos faster then learning Slovenian by going to school. After I was finally able to actually talk to someone without sounding stupid my Slovenian was still bad. After 1year of watching English cartoons I was better at English then Slovenian. (Cartoon network for life btw) Now I live in Austria and after 4months I have forgotten the language. I studied it for 4years just to forget it in 4months.
Yep it was either cartoons or videos who helped me, but I didn't learn much with the apostrophe's and such. Which ended up me being way ahead in my English class :V
I am a consistent A+ student but then COVID 19 taught me something... having straight A’s doesn’t mean I am “smart” at all. I could have 100’s in my grades but at the end of the day, im not a streetmart person. The world is literally dying and I cannot afford crying over a 94 that i recieved in my test paper. School destroyed my self worth and mental health. It sucks but I measure my worth and my happiness depending on my grades. It really sucks. My parents get stressed out on my depression too... and it hurts me. I have lived to this lifestyle that “failure” is a big NO. But u know what, I decided to destroy my perfectionism by just not caring at all (even though its a HUGE painful process). In this way, i will be able to accept failure and when I do, I will be able to conquer anything that’s on my path because i really have big dreams. The bigger the dreams, the bigger the risk. That’s why i am training myself to chill tf out because I can’t afford acting as if everything in life is gonna be the way I want it to be.
hmmm, you know I feel like I wanna make a groupchat with people in it and you know do our own independent studying on things and bring our ideas into the real world.
After a lot of self-talk, I realized that I actually love studying. The act of studying itself gave me a sense of fulfillment, of, being able to immerse in the vast pool of knowledge, full of stuff I have never known of, which I found so novel and so incredible. But I'm still a student and recently I have been asking myself that question, whether if grades really matter. Yes, high grades make me feel better and approved, but no, cause when i got bad grades, I started to hate myself and hate studying, which is so horrifying.
I think a lot of ppl share your sentiments. I love learning out of my own volition, reading voluntarily. But when I have to worry about being graded for it, the enjoyment vanishes. I think it’s why there are ppl who try to find the little things that they enjoy, are passionate enough about that they can focus on and forget that they’re even being graded.
I hate studying, but whenever I don't study, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Even though I don't get much sleep because of it, and my mental health is down the drain, I am pulled towards studying. I don't know if it's because I've been taught that 'study good, bad grades bad', or it's just because I feel worthless if I can't do everything right, even if it's a tiny detail that's not even significant. Even though I'm good at my classes, I feel terrible that I wasn't the best, that I was worthless. So I'm in an endless cycle of studying because I'm worthless, getting less sleep, and getting anxious, and being in a shitty mood most of the time, putting up a front so nobody worries about me (I hate bothering other people, and confrontation), and even though I'm in the top of the class, I feel like I'm still a piece of shit. So I study to get better, and the cycle repeats itself. I know it's probably not a good idea to vent on the internet about how I feel, but if I talk to anyone about not getting good grades, I feel like they'd treat me like I'm subhuman, just because I can't get good grades all the time, while sacrificing my mental health. I think I have something wrong with me, I shouldn't be stressing about keeping up with the scores I get, but here I am. TLDR: I have a hate relationship with studying, but my thoughts keep me from living how I want, forcing me to study.
@@randomperson1714 I think he meant "immature" when he said "kid" . I don't think that they will accept him to do a Ted talk because school isn't an education center, it's a business and businesses care about their reputation
My mom even agrees that the education system is crap. She doesn't use any of the things she learned in school in her day to day life. We shouldn't learn how many candy bars Jared has, but how to do real life things like pay the bills. I've learned ten times the amount of what to do when I move out of my house on youtube and various websites than school could've ever taught me.
That's because the job of a school is to make you employable so that you can afford that house to move to. It's a shame that schools don't teach life skills, but then, to some extent, that's what life is for - it gets you life experience. How we define "employable" is where the debate should be, but, for now, grades are still very important for the majority of us.
@@jarbincks6715 I don’t think that’s true at all - literacy rates in fifth grade are still very low, and schools play a part in raising those across the board. To say it’s useless beyond then is just a ridiculous statement to make, and only makes you sound like an angry kid who didn’t like school. If it wasn’t for schools beyond fifth grade, there’d be millions more illiterate adults / weak readers who find that limits their prospects.
They should just remove the grade system as a whole, so people like me don’t end up getting stressed about them, and end up feeling forced to do their work just for the letter A so they don’t get their ass beaten.

“School is a safe, fun place for you to learn, and prepare you for your life” No. It’s a place that causes depression, stress, and an unrealistic standard that a small amount of people can reach. We go to school to “learn”, but in the end, your success is based off of how well you remember this pointless stuff. Most math that’s more difficult than simple addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division, will *never* be used. We won’t need to understand the whole human anatomy to get a job. We won’t need to know advanced physics to succeed. They waste our time with this stuff, when they could at least be teaching us how to manage money, how to pay taxes, how to raise a child. They tell you that everyone has flaws, it’s okay, but when you show one you’re treated like a screw up? In the end, it doesn’t even matter if you get a high mark on a paper. On a different note, thanks for the support on this comment. This had 5 likes a few days after I checked it, and it’s randomly blown up. This is the most supported comment i’ve ever had
High school needs to have mandatory classes on what you just stated. We cannot learn how to pay taxes, manage loans, raise a family, or hell even car insurance information, just by sitting in class learning about how long it takes a damn door to close (yes I learned that in physics). This irrelevant shit gets you nowhere, like ah yes, I know terminal velocity and can calculate projectile velocity, but in the end it's just irrelevant garbage. I can't think of any place that you'd need to know that (maybe NASA but).
@@user-nh8le8uv6g Well, I personally think that it can change in our lifetimes. The generations coming up has finally realized that this system is not ok, so once we are adults, we are able to someday chance this stupid education system and replace it with something that matters. If the older generations isn’t willing to fix this matter and cause students learn such stupid things, then we have to. So many students realize that this is a problem so maybe those same students will take the initiative and make the education system better.

It's also about raising your hand and participating. I mean I get it, in group work you should try to socialize but when it comes to answering a teachers question why make it a big deal if a student barley raises their hand. It just stresses out the student as now they are forced to contribute to the whole class convo instead of it being optional. Also just because a student always raises their hand doesn't mean they understand what's happening or is an A student. Majority of the time those who raise their hands are failing the class (in my experience, obviously some are grade A's). Also there's nothing wrong in failing a class. If you have trouble with a subject it helps you pin point what you struggle with and that's human. Also it's crazy how some teachers will be straight up honest and say the topic there teaching will only benefit those who need it (ex: Geometry and Construction). I feel the school system should allow kids to choose the classes they want that will help then for the career they want to pursue, at least for high school and maybe middle school or at least for the students who know there passion. Also with college, why should we pay for an education we struggled to gained. I mean college is where students are fully allowed to pursue their passion yet many can't because college is expensive and trying to gain a scholarship is crazy and then when a student doesn't want to go to college there looked down upon and I understand why someone would not want to go to college. I'm just one of the lucky kids who somewhat likes learning and is excited for college.l but I am also part of the many who is stressed by my ap classes and honor society responsibilities to try to impress as many colleges as possible. Granted this is all me, my family is luckily very supportive and are honest that if I don't want to go to college, it's okay and they will support me fully. Now personally the reason why I'm working so hard is because of what I want to pursue which is in the medical field so granted I have alot to put in but that's not everyone's case. All in all school should be about what the kid wants to learn and what they feel will suit them up for their future not what the board wants the kids to learn. (Sorry I went on a tangent it's just that the school system really needs to be improved to better kid's futures while also motivating them to push through to their dreams and for the love of God, they need to make college free or at least less expensive and hard to get into. It's crazy how much work students have to put in just for a piece of paper that says "hey I'm qualified through knowing math yet I have no idea how to cook but I hope you as a restaurant business hire me!").

@@NWolf17 i once failed a class because I didn't raise my hand enough. I have bad social anxiety so this is very difficult for me. Schools should be teaching mental health instead of useless advanced math that only stresses me out to tears
I used to think I sucked at math because I didn't always get stellar grades. Then after highschool I was bored one day and picked up a book about numbers and was fascinated. I realized that if I could be interested in math, then I could be interested in literally anything. But getting poor grades in subjects like geography that I at first genuinely liked made me believe that I wouldn't be valuable in those fields, and so I'd better stick to the things I get straight A's in. It's a bullshit system. Learning for grades takes the fun out of it. It's like, shouldn't I want to learn without the promise of a reward?
“Sometimes it’s better to bunk a class and enjoy with friends, because today when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but memories do” - a very smart man
as a highschool student, I don't feel like I've earned the right to say a single thing about grades. Nonetheless, I agree with this. I've found nothing but stress, pain, and sleep deprivation in my schooling. It slows down my writing, cuts into my daily life, and causes me breakdowns in the middle of enjoying a nice and fun video game with my friends. Sure, a student's purpose is to learn. But what exactly am I learning? Is my constant cheating through tests learning? Is my panic cramming for a test just to forget it all afterwards learning? If anything, I'm learning that one of the biggest flaws of humanity is its inability to change. Our school systems in America have remained the same ever since they came into being, which was centuries ago. Over my life, I've dropped art, dropped guitar, dropped piano, and even dropped friendships, all for what? A number to appease my parents? A number that will supposedly lead me towards a better life? Well if this number is so powerful, then why can't it give me something that I wished for? Why can't I catch a break after I receive that report card? I'm given the results of my previous hardship, just to be thrown into another. All of this, and I secure nothing. Even if I get full marks on everything, I am guaranteed nothing, I am ensured nothing, and I have gained nothing. I do not come out of each year smarter, I do not come out of each year brighter, and I do not come out of each year more creative. As the years go by, my smarts, my sanity, and my creativity goes with them. Thank you for reading my rant. I'll go back to stressing out now.

I have bought GSCE study books and i'm improving quickly because i'm not getting 10 thousand things pushed in front of me to learn all at once. For once i'm actually motivated to learn and i'm even finding it enjoyable. I'm not interested in getting the highest grades imaginable, i'm interested in learning and i didn't know there was a difference until recently. I have found that when you enjoy the subject, you too improve in the subject. A passion of mine is reading and because of school i simply had no spare time, i lost my love for reading and was drowning in work and getting pushed into drama. I was miserable, i felt drained all of the time, and the world seemed a lot darker and pointless but now i have rekindled my love for reading. Funnily enough, i have no friends now and that's another issue of itself but i feel more calm and happy than i ever did with them, they only brought me down. I even have a normal sleep schedule, which is brilliant. If home schooling is an option for you then i would recommend taking it. I hope your mental health improves, and if you need someone to listen i'm all ears.
I think I'm in love with you. I once asked my teacher why she had to grade her students instead of simply teaching for enjoyment. She solemnly replied, "No one would take my class seriously without an evaluation." School for me is a house of learning and I hate how petty things like grades burn parts of it down.
True...and this is because we aren't here anymore to learn but to get a high paying degree, because the society has intellectualized itself. It became mechanical, corporate, money-based... capitalistic. No wonder plenty of people are depressed, society just sucks all life out of it.

I absolutely hate it when parents try to use their child’s interests as a way to make them get good grades. I swear, if I hear my parents say “if you get at least an A on your next test I’ll get you that game you really wanted for a long time” one more time I’m going to just loose it
What school has givin me: Anxiety Becoming more insecure I know how to hide things I know how to hide my feelings I know how to "suck it up" My parents dont trust me I'm afraid to ask questions Adding Subtracting Multiplying Long division How to right an essay How to forge a signature 🙂
School gave me Stunted social skills Massive disregard of peers' opinions Distrust of authority Depression Suicidal tendencies the bare minimum of knowledge How to lie A good pain tolerance And a lazy attitude
@@ghuttsmckenzie4269 Feel ya. I've hated so many people and became angry but just kept it in. The teachers... were the same. I even felt terrified to go back every day.
@@T_E_G I am glad I'm out of that hell, couldn't have left soon enough and I don't think I'll ever miss it, maybe the friends but everything else was not worth it.
it worries me that people see good grades as the only way you can be successful. it just makes me think i’m never gonna make it. i’m failing two of my classes right now (science and history) and honestly it’s just due to lack of motivation. but i do want to do well and have a successful life but what does a letter or percentage have to do with that? why can’t i still be successful when i get older just because this year i’m struggling? not only that but most of the things we’re “learning” are not going to help me survive once i graduate from high school. i want to learn about taxes or paying bills, because in the end that is what i’m going to be doing. i’m not going to be doing y + mx = b (who even invented math and why?:/). i want to learn about things i’m actually passionate about and can maybe make a living out of. all school is teaching us is to memorize things for a small amount of time and forget it when we no longer need it. thanks for reading my rant if u made it this far. i hope that everything is good for you :)
I agree with 100% I learned more in the Internet than I have learned at school and rn I am failing 4 subjects which are math,P.E,History and litrature which for me 4 of the most useless subjects I am failing at P.E cause my legs aren't the best in history I am just not intrested and litrature I don't want to go to school just to read a story and math or better yet geometry I don't mind Algebra but Geometry is a fucking nightmare. I really want to be a voice actor in the future not just cause of anime I feel like I could make a lot of good friends in that job and I choose a special class that can help me with that but school said a big F U and sent to one of the worst classes out there. School always says we will help you, We will open your mind. Which is further from the truth. Sorry if my English is bad. Sorry for wasting your time and thank you
@@dcrowssj5624 You’re not wasting anybody’s time! Thank you for your comment, I love reading these experiences, they’re very relatable so don’t feel like you’re wasting anybody’s time. I can relate too, I want to be a artist and draw but lately since I didn’t do all that great last semester, I wanted to do better this year. I see I was wrong. I have 7-8 effing things I have to do everyday and my mindset is like: I don’t give a shit for the subject, I don’t care about what I’m learning if it doesn’t interest me. Just get this shit _done_. Even if it means cheating a little. Because I do not wanna waste anymore time doing that stuff it’s ridiculous and no matter how much homework I get done it won’t get me anywhere. At least, not that much. I’d love to hire you as a voice actor if I ever get good with my art tho
I ve lost my passion for learning and was struggling with university exam studies. I realised that recently I started to feel and also act like a robot and now you reminded me how much I love learning,searching,wondering and eventually thriving to a more human like human being.
Yup. That’s why i was disheartened when I realized most of my classmates only cared about the grade and not the actual material/information and how it was connected.
I only care about the grade too because they put too much pressure on me and report cards for me to actually care about what I’m learning, especially in online school.
@@jagshe1829 Yeah its understandable. That was my way of thinking towards the middle of high school. I was just looking at percentages and how certain assignments effected my grade. Thinking about what i could miss and what i couldnt. At the same time I was dishearten by it.
I gotta admit that I'm one of those kids who barely focused on my work, I barely found anything that interested me unless it was science, history, or just psychology.
@@Blackcrow48 For me at least, you did have to understand concepts and ideas to pass tests rather than just memorization. It really depends on the teacher you get. A teacher from a rich school decided to teach at my poorer school and they teach so good AND FUN! I didn't even read the book, got a B just from class notes and it was a freaking Chemistry class. They weren't just a good teacher. They were a life coach and football coach.
The last year of middle school was the last year that I felt genuinly happy. The moment I stepped into High School my whole mental state flipped. I feel like I am a lot more of a mentally changed person now with all the shit that Ive gone through with High School. High School made me experience my first wave of depression. It made me experience anxiety. And all this negative shit. Before High School for me it would be, moments of anger, and then back to happiness. Idk if its just me, but I feel like that had totally flipped. It feels like now there are Moments of happiness and then just anger. I worry about so much fucking shit. My Future, how Im going to support myself, etc. It is really fucking tough growing up.
I'm really depressed and struggle with a lot of anxiety especially social anxiety My grades since corona started went down I've failed 6 college classes in 2 semesters I don't know what I'm going to do I am now suspended from college classes this semester and I am struggling right now for my physics & algebra 2 highschool classes I'm underway to much pressure and the sad thing about it is that my parents don't care more specifically my mom I told her I wanted to quit taking college classes and just focus on my high school courses because taking both at the same time is extremely hard All my parents are proud of is saying their child is in an early college program and she will graduate high school with an associates degree I F HATE IT ' it makes me feel like sht and whenever I try to talk about quitting she literally throws a whole show making me feel really bad onetime she literally started vomiting and almost passing out the other time she destroyed me with her words and make it seem like it was my fault she puts so much pressure on me because she wants me to become a teacher something she never got the chance to do shes looking for her happiness, not mine but she never understands me I've thought about ending my life multiple times and I find it really ironic of her to be like oh poor random person from tv they suffer from depression look how sad he looks and in my head, I am just like?????????? just because someone isn't crying or speaking about it doesn't mean they don't have it???? I'm right here! help me I can't wait until I graduate and move across the world to restart my life with people who are not toxic and I have many aspirations I'm a great daughter don't think I'm just an angry teenager I always help my mom and parents I never do anything wrong and life just seems so unfair I wish I would have never joined this highschool program I didn't even want to go in the first place
I'm sorry things are the way they are for you. I'm a lot younger than you and am in the same shoes, but smaller. I'm just wondering if I'll ever catch a break. You've made it this far haven't you? I'm sure that dream about moving halfway across the world with better people is definitely going to happen. Best of luck, and I'm really sorry.
I can’t believe I’ve finally found someone who feels the same way as I have for such a long time. It feels a bit hypocritical because I’ve always cared about my grades but I want to learn everything I can during my finite time here on earth as you’ve said and I feel like grades and exams and school in general stands in the way of all of that. I’m not learning more about the world we’re living in; I’m just learning how to answer an exam paper and write the exact specific answers examiners want to hear. I’m sick of it.

I’m still in high school but I can definitely agree that grades don’t define you. Although in this day and age grades are deemed very important for your future, they do not reflect intelligence or potential at all. For example, there are so many people I know who got straight A’s all throughout high school yet they don’t know the first thing about common sense. You can put any straight A student into the real world and they won’t know how it works. There are also kids I know with bad grades who are so frickin knowledgeable about a specific subject that it’s incredible, but just because they messed up on an exam they are deemed stupid by society. Sorry for this long rant I got really passionate typing this
Honestly, I was really interested with math in elementary. However, entering high school, I started hating it. I started to hate every subject I was subjected to learn. Why? I wanna learn other stuff; anatomy, psychology, astronomy, floriculture and etc. But I can't even choose my own school! Even talking to my parents is hard, why do they expect me to talk to teachers, the so-called second parents?! They look at me, from top to bottom, like I'm a dang rat. I hate it. And I always see favoritism in our class. Once, someone pretty, and us sitting at the second row, slept in class and the teacher let them be. My friend beside me, in the same row, got caught almost sleeping! I mean, that pretty girl even uses their ipad! And also, the rule which we can't color our hair whatsoever is absolutely absurd. How can we be ourselves when we can't costumize our own physical body?! . . . Thanks for reading bout this rant. I just hate our school y'know; kindergarten and preparatory is 3 years, primary school is six years, high school is 4 years, senior is 2 years and then college. I can't even remember what I did yesterday, how can I remember what we were taught last week?!
Its sad that school only ever cares about how well a person can memorize rather than developing an understanding and appreciation for that information. I believe that to some extent its why loads of people hate math and subjects similar to it. Everyone is made to memorize stuff within it but never truly understand why or how it works. Personally the idea of trying to understand the way our surroundings and everything in this universe works is what drives me to learn physics, but i’ve lost a good portion of that passion and interest due to how schools simply care about how well one can memorize and spit the same crap out onto paper and it makes me wonder how many more people suffer in silence due to the way education is in the modern day.
We should take mostly open book tests/quizzes so that we can actually absorb the info and it teaches us to actually think, not just be patient and be able to sit for hours writing stuff on paper and memorizing it
@Tall Jakee i see your point and in fact i do on my own try to develop an understanding on subjects, especially math and physics. I quite enjoy these subjects which are reliant on logic and understanding. However, in my school its always been about memorizing things, in case of math the formulas related to it. This does not mean by any chance that i encourage or indulge it, rather i follow my own path and strive to learn about my favorite topics in as great depth as possible. I simply wish education where i live wasnt made solely for the purpose of trying to make a person get good grades as opposed to understanding a topic truly and how it affects the real world. I try my best to never memorize and to understand whatever it is i learn with extra effort daily.
@Tall Jakee well yes we do get such problem but my teachers here solve em for us and show us how its done ig. Honestly the education i have here is supposed to be high quality but its just standard stuff disguised as an international school. India is just jank so im moving to the US next year for higher education but like i really do enjoy learning stuff in depth and mostly i dont rely on my school and like to explore quite a bit. I really love it when i get a nice challenging math problem that really gets me to think.
This is so accurate. When you say “I don’t care about my grades” people assume that you don’t want to be successful, or have a life. No, i’m just more AWARE than the actual ADULTS in my life, that grades do not MATTER. They are marks on paper, an endless competition and pressure to stuff as much information as we can and spit it all back out, to never remember again. If you don’t stuff in all that knowledge and spit it out? You fail. You are shunned by the system. You have to suffer through more of it during summer, which is supposed to be your break. You are forced to “relearn” it. You are forced to repeat the year. You have to stay up through endless nights and stress, only for it to amount to nothing. You’ve learned nothing at the end of the day. The math we learn does not *matter* if we do not want to be scientist or architects. But we are treated as if each and every one of us like we have to become the smartest people in the universe. We become burnt out, we are bullied, shouted at, threatened- if we do not pass. There is so much in the world we are missing, because we are forced to sit in a school, or behind a screen, the schools controlling every aspect of our lives. -They control our free time by assigning us hours of homework -They control our sleep by having us stay up with hours of studying -They control what we wear with uniform, or dress codes -They control our day, forcing us to sit down and just listen to someone talk for hours and hours on end, often giving minimal actual interaction -They control what we eat, everyday in the cafeteria, unless we provide our own food -They control our mental health, our stress, they control almost every aspect of our lives, because they want us to get good marks. Adults will say “Well that’s just how to system is, deal with it”. We have a *CHOICE* to *NOT* deal with it. But we are constantly forced into picking school over our real lives. The idea *drilled* into our heads that if we don’t get a good mark on a piece of paper, we will fail, and become useless. This is why i no longer care about my grades. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
Shit man I have two years left and I fail almost every class but I want to succeed and get my degree but I don't know shit, I really don't want to do this shit anymore.
It’s not really the teachers; it’s more of the DOE and school board. Teachers honestly deserve recognition for what they do. There are teachers out there who actually care about their jobs; they’re not above the hierarchy. Same with principals. They all answer to the DOE and School Board. The DOE and School Board is responsible for all this. Overall, it’s the Education System.
@Jaster oh no lol. I meant working like robots but not physically like them but to be trained to work long hours with little breaks, cannot question authority, everyone is the same etc
The stupid grade system sucks. My friend used to cry about getting bad grades, and yea, I can understand that. But these grades can manipulate you and bring low self-esteem.
Happiness over Grades. I want to pursue my hobbies. It's easy to get decent grades. I'm content with C' s. I pursue my own acadamia. Stuff that actually matter, not the useless material these institution the government created to control our minds at a young age and force Capitalism and low-wage slavery. We are the future, it's time we take back what is ours. Like our happiness.
Take a break from school (mentally) Talk to yourself and ask yourself what it is you want in life and how you’re going to get there. Don't let the school system hold you back or make you feel unmotivated. This is YOUR Life ! You must grab life with both hands and say "I'm in control !" You have 1 life remember that. It goes by quick too ! So live a life you wanna remember not a life where told how to live. Stay strong brother and believe in the process :)
Take this from a graduated highschool student from the class of 2020, grades aren't everything in life and are not as important as happiness and fulfillment in life.
You've no idea how much this helped me. No matter how much I have people criticise me for being anxious over grades or try and boost my ego to make me feel better what you did for me is I believe Divine intervention. I feel like I'm ready to reconnect to the universe, it's core, and in a sense, God, because you put it beautifully- they are one and the same. I cannot thank you enough for just being here and impacting and reinforcing my yearning to learn. I cannot express how grateful I am to you in this moment, for rekindling something I had deemed lost, almost. Thank you for reminding me not to loose myself. I am here, present, and ready to take on the universe. Thank you, thank you good sir.
Literally. You're so right,man. I used to be a very 'intelligent' or rather 'perfect' child for the society and parents in school(now im not boasting about myself or something). The thing is when I started college, I started asking myself this question: why am I even studying when I don't even know what I'm studying. The things that I've learned in school now I've already forgotten them. I've been wondering about nature and life and asking myself things that are not related to topics that I'm studying in college and man it's getting worse. At this point, I don't even want to study. After listening to your video, I get it why I don't want to study. Because it gives me nothing except the praises from the society but those praise have nothing to do with me. I'm not satisfied with my life.... but I know that I have to be this way. I have to learn those or rather 'cram' those things.😧 but this time I'm gonna something about it. I know I have to.
I had a history teacher in my first high school year who didn't care about grades nor tests . We used to learn and discuss and we didn't have any tests.
@jamerson kento I would agree with u. But, the problem I run into with hw is that some teachers make it so ur homework is practice for that “upcoming assessment or essay”.
As a “good” student at my school I just wanted to say something, last year I started at a new school and I wanted to be on top of my class so I studied, I studied every day which led to me having an eating disorder, I wanted to have more time to study and thats why I didn’t eat much I also got very antisocial and stressed and a because of grades, even now I study for like 4 houra just because I think I won’t pass and it really stresses me out, i love learing but I just learn to pass and that just isn’t good
same:( I want to not care, but I can't stop caring. So I decided to make at least an hour everyday to learn or read or do things I want to do and quarantine really helped me do that so all is not lost.
Um I used to be the “good student” until this year because I got so frustrated with the amount of assignments that I just gave up on trying it and I think my grades are gonna drop alot
holy shit same..! i suffer from depression and anxiety and my depression had came back bc of some family shit like 2 months ago, but it’s still here because a month of when i was depressed i stopped doing ALL of my work and was ill. so when i finally thought i was getting better i felt worse because i was left with stacked assignments.. then i checked my weight and i lost 14 pounds and i’ve always been pretty skinny (5’0 113 lbs). but now i’m 95-98! i’ve been crying and suffering with the struggle of my grades and trying to keep up with my mental health and it’s just tearing me down so fucking much bruh. and what’s crazy is i’m supposed to be having a christmas break, A CHRISTMAS BREAK for my school! but nah they gave us 2 packets and i have to do a 3 paper project and 7 assignments in different other classes.. this shit is killing me and i’m about to email i need a damn break for fucks sake.
for my Q1 i have honor roll and all (4.0 mostly A’s and 2 B’s), but this second quarter is going to be hell of a mystery for me. currently i have 2 B’s, C’s, and A’s. so i’m pretty on edge 💀😂..
Everything is moving forward and changing, yet school hasn’t changed for over a century. Everyone else is running past that finish line yet school just sits there plucking the grass.
Probably best video I have ever watched. Everyone knows these, but nothing is made to change. "Studying", as we are talking here, is stressfull, learning, on the other hand, is mesmerizing. Thanks for this. 🙏 (I realized this mentality has got in my way for a long time, cause of circumstances and pressure, but I really resonate with what you said. We shouldn't be defined by these stupid little addictive grades...)

Straight A students aren’t usually people who genuinely have the drive to learn, they just know how to play school.
Yes, know/bothers how to play with it
Explains how my ex played me so well
I totally agree with you. With every subject I know exactly what type of quesions they will ask. I know what they want you to learn, but I only learn what I know is gonna be the most helpful on the test. I procrastinate a lot and work my ass of the day before I have a test or have to finish an assignment. If learing was like a game then learing random interesting things from youtube or books or other random sources would be an open world game, and school would be a linear repetitive game. School feels like an endless repetitive stressfull forced competition.
I usually score really good, but since januari I just lost the motivation. I have a hell alot of assignments that should have been finished days ago and I have just become a mess. It's not just school tho. I feel like social media and school have made me this fucked up being. I'm way to worried about prestations and what people think about me that I have just become this messed up piece of shit. (I got a little carried away with this sorry lol)
That’s because they are brainwashed and think this is the only path
@@PrimeEra_1 that’s harsh, especially since most of the doctors, nurses, and scientists who have put endless work in their careers to get where they are at are literally the ones exhausting themselves in a 24 hour shift to save people right now. So, we’re they also brainwashed by the system too? No, obviously not, they cared about creating a change whether it was small or big and in my opinion, if I live a life of anger towards school then in the end, it’s I who will suffer not the education system. Does the education system suck and needs to change? Absolutely, but to just say to “throw it all away,” is completely wrong since generations of folks have fought for their rights to be able to afford and attend a school.

School is in fact more of a student selection than a place to learn, the only one picked are those who are able to overcome stressful situations while doing random and stupid stuff such as learning useless knowledge by hearth without asking themselves why, calling us stupid, not because we are, but because they want others student to believe that we are wrong in the way we think, while grade are just a carrot on a stick for all of those too dumb to understand the situation in which they are.

The one thing I hate is when teachers decide to shame a student for asking a question. We’re here to learn, not get embarrassed in front of our peers. And their top priority should be helping us pass their class anyways..😬
Like “dumb question” or not, they should be guiding people to passing their class, not beating their mentality because they don’t know how to solve a problem & want help.
"You've already learned this!"
Yep, my old history teacher did that. Our classes ended up being her asking a question, no one answering because if they get it wrong she'll give you a blunt put-down and humiliate you for getting it wrong (it didn't even have to be 'wrong' either, she would do that if it wasn't the answer she wanted), then the same 2 pupils would always answer the questions and my teacher would be actually confused as to why no one wanted to speak out, despite several people telling her bluntly that she was rude. Even me, someone who has extreme anxiety speaking in public, would try answering the questions eventually because we'd sit there for genuinely 10-15 mins in silence most lessons waiting for someone to answer and it was painful. Keep in mind that this was my A-level class meaning we were 17-18 years old, not children (Not that it's okay to behave like that with children either). Absolutely kills the subject of history when you don't feel able to discuss a topic and give your own views on things, they just want you to regurgitate arguments, no room for individuality. There are better teachers out there, but it's a shame that education doesn't reward them, and it incentivises the behaviour of teachers like my old one.
I know, I relate. I've stopped asking questions because the way they tell me it's wrong in front of everyone embarrasses me. I try even though i'm always wrong. But I also make myself look more stupid if I don't answer the question so what do I even do lol
I had a chemistry teacher last year, and I'm pretty sure she's been fired. She was always saying that we were "stupid" for not understanding what she was explaining, yet everyone always failed in her classes, like 27 out of 30 students in all of the 3 classes she was teaching (in mine 16 out of 21, me included). She was always, ALWAYS yelling and humiliating everyone. We were all scared to ask questions for that. And also because, for example, this one time, when a girl said "excuse me, I didn't understand the last sentence you said, could you please explain that again?" And screaming the teacher said NO! NO! NO! *YOU* DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION!!! YOU ALL NEVER PAY ATTENTION, I'M TRYING TO DO MY FUCKING JOB HERE! and she gave the girl a 5 because of that, ruining her grades. She also did that a lot, I even have some of the screeming sections recorded if things got out of hand. When she got fired, everyone pitied the sub teacher, because he had a lot of work to do, everyone was failing in chemistry, but the good thing is that he is a big sweetheart, and is much easier now.

I could’ve done that without complaining if only I didn’t get people’s perspectives. For example: “Oh my god the kid screaming is so annoying” and then I respond with “really?

There is so many things I could’ve done only if I didn’t understand people, yet people don’t understand me nor do I understand them, everybody just criticizes me for not understanding them but yet when I have a huge problem; nobody is there for me and then the only advice I get is “get over it stupid kid.” I hope I can just ignore it and move on; I hate to get stuck on something and always think about it.

This is where my school mentality is at. Who cares about how others do. As long as *I* pass this course, then I got nothing school-related to worry about.
Knowledge that doesn't intrigue and resonate with you is knowledge unlearned. When learning becomes a checklist item to mark off, then the objective doesn't become about the learning anymore, but just about passing. Like an obstacle. That's no way to learn at all.
:(
Oh you're here. Love your work HFP and you're absolutely right too. Learning should be intriguing, inspiring, and interesting, but instead school made it a chore, back when we are still kids and just starting school, we came in with curiosity and intrigued to learn, but school just takes that away, now we walk into school just to wait for it to end
Yep being in school right now school is just getting in the way of the things I want to do in life. You want to work a job where you get actual benefits and insurance and make a living wage?

@@Original_Qksks so this explains why your grammar is terrible
One of the most frustrating things is when you know something right off the top of your head and the teacher says "show your work" but you don't know how to explain it and the teacher thinks you cheated and you have no way to defend yourself because your parents take the teachers side smh
are you spying on me or something tf
"Show your work" is such a useless phrase. Sometimes you didn't do any work that you noticed. That's a different problem to not understanding. If you can answer correctly but can't explain why, the teacher should teach you how to explain yourself. But instead they just assume you cheated or don't understand if you don't instinctively know what they want to see.

They give us multiple classes where more than likely 90% of will be put to waste. Time and energy lost, only producing stress as the days go by, all reduced to nothing. Nothing matters at the end because you can really only choose one. By the time you're in high school you should be allowed to pick which career you want, and learn everything on there. There's no point in learning all of this useless algebra when one day you might choose to become an artist or maybe historian, either way no job besides jobs related to math requires such knowledge.
It's useless and time consuming. Someone correct me if I had flaws in my statement.

edit: hello. same op here, three something years later. i'm sure no one likely really cares for an update but i've come back to say that i'm doing better than i did during the pandemic. i'm doing better at school and i'm striving hard to reach honors as it is my final year of high school. the pandemic and the quarantine was a really awful time for me mentally. doing anything that is related to academics was really tough. i just didn't have it in myself to do those during that time so i was really held back and i didn't benefit in studying at all at that time. however, as things are somewhat back to normal now (such that, i can finally go back to school face to face), i'm really proud of my progress in that i can finally do my academics without really feeling bad about any incomplete works. i hope that this can inspire some people, even if a little.

My parents get stressed out on my depression too... and it hurts me. I have lived to this lifestyle that “failure” is a big NO. But u know what, I decided to destroy my perfectionism by just not caring at all (even though its a HUGE painful process). In this way, i will be able to accept failure and when I do, I will be able to conquer anything that’s on my path because i really have big dreams. The bigger the dreams, the bigger the risk. That’s why i am training myself to chill tf out because I can’t afford acting as if everything in life is gonna be the way I want it to be.

After a lot of self-talk, I realized that I actually love studying. The act of studying itself gave me a sense of fulfillment, of, being able to immerse in the vast pool of knowledge, full of stuff I have never known of, which I found so novel and so incredible. But I'm still a student and recently I have been asking myself that question, whether if grades really matter. Yes, high grades make me feel better and approved, but no, cause when i got bad grades, I started to hate myself and hate studying, which is so horrifying.
I think a lot of ppl share your sentiments. I love learning out of my own volition, reading voluntarily. But when I have to worry about being graded for it, the enjoyment vanishes. I think it’s why there are ppl who try to find the little things that they enjoy, are passionate enough about that they can focus on and forget that they’re even being graded.

@@runway5338 u summed up my thoughts perfectly
I hate studying, but whenever I don't study, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Even though I don't get much sleep because of it, and my mental health is down the drain, I am pulled towards studying. I don't know if it's because I've been taught that 'study good, bad grades bad', or it's just because I feel worthless if I can't do everything right, even if it's a tiny detail that's not even significant. Even though I'm good at my classes, I feel terrible that I wasn't the best, that I was worthless. So I'm in an endless cycle of studying because I'm worthless, getting less sleep, and getting anxious, and being in a shitty mood most of the time, putting up a front so nobody worries about me (I hate bothering other people, and confrontation), and even though I'm in the top of the class, I feel like I'm still a piece of shit. So I study to get better, and the cycle repeats itself. I know it's probably not a good idea to vent on the internet about how I feel, but if I talk to anyone about not getting good grades, I feel like they'd treat me like I'm subhuman, just because I can't get good grades all the time, while sacrificing my mental health. I think I have something wrong with me, I shouldn't be stressing about keeping up with the scores I get, but here I am.

I've learned ten times the amount of what to do when I move out of my house on youtube and various websites than school could've ever taught me.
That's because the job of a school is to make you employable so that you can afford that house to move to. It's a shame that schools don't teach life skills, but then, to some extent, that's what life is for - it gets you life experience.

“School is a safe, fun place for you to learn, and prepare you for your life”
No. It’s a place that causes depression, stress, and an unrealistic standard that a small amount of people can reach. We go to school to “learn”, but in the end, your success is based off of how well you remember this pointless stuff. Most math that’s more difficult than simple addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division, will *never* be used. We won’t need to understand the whole human anatomy to get a job. We won’t need to know advanced physics to succeed. They waste our time with this stuff, when they could at least be teaching us how to manage money, how to pay taxes, how to raise a child. They tell you that everyone has flaws, it’s okay, but when you show one you’re treated like a screw up? In the end, it doesn’t even matter if you get a high mark on a paper.

High school needs to have mandatory classes on what you just stated. We cannot learn how to pay taxes, manage loans, raise a family, or hell even car insurance information, just by sitting in class learning about how long it takes a damn door to close (yes I learned that in physics). This irrelevant shit gets you nowhere, like ah yes, I know terminal velocity and can calculate projectile velocity, but in the end it's just irrelevant garbage. I can't think of any place that you'd need to know that (maybe NASA but).

I mean I get it, in group work you should try to socialize but when it comes to answering a teachers question why make it a big deal if a student barley raises their hand. It just stresses out the student as now they are forced to contribute to the whole class convo instead of it being optional. Also just because a student always raises their hand doesn't mean they understand what's happening or is an A student. Majority of the time those who raise their hands are failing the class (in my experience, obviously some are grade A's). Also there's nothing wrong in failing a class. If you have trouble with a subject it helps you pin point what you struggle with and that's human. Also it's crazy how some teachers will be straight up honest and say the topic there teaching will only benefit those who need it (ex: Geometry and Construction). I feel the school system should allow kids to choose the classes they want that will help then for the career they want to pursue, at least for high school and maybe middle school or at least for the students who know there passion. Also with college, why should we pay for an education we struggled to gained. I mean college is where students are fully allowed to pursue their passion yet many can't because college is expensive and trying to gain a scholarship is crazy and then when a student doesn't want to go to college there looked down upon and I understand why someone would not want to go to college. I'm just one of the lucky kids who somewhat likes learning and is excited for college.l but I am also part of the many who is stressed by my ap classes and honor society responsibilities to try to impress as many colleges as possible. Granted this is all me, my family is luckily very supportive and are honest that if I don't want to go to college, it's okay and they will support me fully. Now personally the reason why I'm working so hard is because of what I want to pursue which is in the medical field so granted I have alot to put in but that's not everyone's case. All in all school should be about what the kid wants to learn and what they feel will suit them up for their future not what the board wants the kids to learn. (Sorry I went on a tangent it's just that the school system really needs to be improved to better kid's futures while also motivating them to push through to their dreams and for the love of God, they need to make college free or at least less expensive and hard to get into. It's crazy how much work students have to put in just for a piece of paper that says "hey I'm qualified through knowing math yet I have no idea how to cook but I hope you as a restaurant business hire me!").
Geez i just realized I typed out a whole paragraph sorry about that 😅
@@NWolf17 About school being about participating in lessons, my spanish teacher literally said in the last week before Christmas that I must be the hardest working student in the class but I'm really not, I'm just good at remembering things I guess. It's similar for most other subjects as well and then everyone is so surprised when they see that I get mediocre grades.
@@NWolf17 i once failed a class because I didn't raise my hand enough.
I have bad social anxiety so this is very difficult for me. Schools should be teaching mental health instead of useless advanced math that only stresses me out to tears
@@moonhall yes, i absolutely agree with you.
I used to think I sucked at math because I didn't always get stellar grades. Then after highschool I was bored one day and picked up a book about numbers and was fascinated. I realized that if I could be interested in math, then I could be interested in literally anything. But getting poor grades in subjects like geography that I at first genuinely liked made me believe that I wouldn't be valuable in those fields, and so I'd better stick to the things I get straight A's in. It's a bullshit system. Learning for grades takes the fun out of it. It's like, shouldn't I want to learn without the promise of a reward?
“Sometimes it’s better to bunk a class and enjoy with friends, because today when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but memories do”
- a very smart man
Don't know why this made me sad
as a highschool student, I don't feel like I've earned the right to say a single thing about grades. Nonetheless, I agree with this. I've found nothing but stress, pain, and sleep deprivation in my schooling. It slows down my writing, cuts into my daily life, and causes me breakdowns in the middle of enjoying a nice and fun video game with my friends. Sure, a student's purpose is to learn. But what exactly am I learning? Is my constant cheating through tests learning? Is my panic cramming for a test just to forget it all afterwards learning? If anything, I'm learning that one of the biggest flaws of humanity is its inability to change. Our school systems in America have remained the same ever since they came into being, which was centuries ago. Over my life, I've dropped art, dropped guitar, dropped piano, and even dropped friendships, all for what? A number to appease my parents? A number that will supposedly lead me towards a better life? Well if this number is so powerful, then why can't it give me something that I wished for? Why can't I catch a break after I receive that report card? I'm given the results of my previous hardship, just to be thrown into another. All of this, and I secure nothing. Even if I get full marks on everything, I am guaranteed nothing, I am ensured nothing, and I have gained nothing. I do not come out of each year smarter, I do not come out of each year brighter, and I do not come out of each year more creative. As the years go by, my smarts, my sanity, and my creativity goes with them.

istg if i was homeschooled my mental health would be much better. im at barely 30% ugh.
i am exhausted all the time, getting tired of people and everything. And if ur reading this and u care too much about ur grades because ur parents tell u to do so - please stop stressing urself out like that its unhealthy
I started getting home schooled last year, i'm in year 11 shortly. Ever since i made that decision my mental well being has improved tremendously. I am able to manage my time, learn things that interest me and find out what my drive is. I have bought GSCE study books and i'm improving quickly because i'm not getting 10 thousand things pushed in front of me to learn all at once. For once i'm actually motivated to learn and i'm even finding it enjoyable. I'm not interested in getting the highest grades imaginable, i'm interested in learning and i didn't know there was a difference until recently. I have found that when you enjoy the subject, you too improve in the subject. A passion of mine is reading and because of school i simply had no spare time, i lost my love for reading and was drowning in work and getting pushed into drama. I was miserable, i felt drained all of the time, and the world seemed a lot darker and pointless but now i have rekindled my love for reading.
Funnily enough, i have no friends now and that's another issue of itself but i feel more calm and happy than i ever did with them, they only brought me down. I even have a normal sleep schedule, which is brilliant. If home schooling is an option for you then i would recommend taking it.
I hope your mental health improves, and if you need someone to listen i'm all ears.

I’m still in high school but I can definitely agree that grades don’t define you. Although in this day and age grades are deemed very important for your future, they do not reflect intelligence or potential at all. For example, there are so many people I know who got straight A’s all throughout high school yet they don’t know the first thing about common sense. You can put any straight A student into the real world and they won’t know how it works. There are also kids I know with bad grades who are so frickin knowledgeable about a specific subject that it’s incredible, but just because they messed up on an exam they are deemed stupid by society. Sorry for this long rant I got really passionate typing this
Honestly, I was really interested with math in elementary. However, entering high school, I started hating it. I started to hate every subject I was subjected to learn.
Why? I wanna learn other stuff; anatomy, psychology, astronomy, floriculture and etc. But I can't even choose my own school!
Even talking to my parents is hard, why do they expect me to talk to teachers, the so-called second parents?! They look at me, from top to bottom, like I'm a dang rat. I hate it.
And I always see favoritism in our class. Once, someone pretty, and us sitting at the second row, slept in class and the teacher let them be. My friend beside me, in the same row, got caught almost sleeping! I mean, that pretty girl even uses their ipad!
And also, the rule which we can't color our hair whatsoever is absolutely absurd. How can we be ourselves when we can't costumize our own physical body?!

Thanks for reading bout this rant. I just hate our school y'know; kindergarten and preparatory is 3 years, primary school is six years, high school is 4 years, senior is 2 years and then college. I can't even remember what I did yesterday, how can I remember what we were taught last week?!
Its sad that school only ever cares about how well a person can memorize rather than developing an understanding and appreciation for that information. I believe that to some extent its why loads of people hate math and subjects similar to it. Everyone is made to memorize stuff within it but never truly understand why or how it works. Personally the idea of trying to understand the way our surroundings and everything in this universe works is what drives me to learn physics, but i’ve lost a good portion of that passion and interest due to how schools simply care about how well one can memorize and spit the same crap out onto paper and it makes me wonder how many more people suffer in silence due to the way education is in the modern day.
We should take mostly open book tests/quizzes so that we can actually absorb the info and it teaches us to actually think, not just be patient and be able to sit for hours writing stuff on paper and memorizing it
@Tall Jakee i see your point and in fact i do on my own try to develop an understanding on subjects, especially math and physics. I quite enjoy these subjects which are reliant on logic and understanding. However, in my school its always been about memorizing things, in case of math the formulas related to it. This does not mean by any chance that i encourage or indulge it, rather i follow my own path and strive to learn about my favorite topics in as great depth as possible. I simply wish education where i live wasnt made solely for the purpose of trying to make a person get good grades as opposed to understanding a topic truly and how it affects the real world. I try my best to never memorize and to understand whatever it is i learn with extra effort daily.
@Tall Jakee well yes we do get such problem but my teachers here solve em for us and show us how its done ig. Honestly the education i have here is supposed to be high quality but its just standard stuff disguised as an international school. India is just jank so im moving to the US next year for higher education but like i really do enjoy learning stuff in depth and mostly i dont rely on my school and like to explore quite a bit. I really love it when i get a nice challenging math problem that really gets me to think.

I can see just from the thumbnail alone that you are very brave soul to stand up to ur Asian parents like that.
This is so accurate. When you say “I don’t care about my grades” people assume that you don’t want to be successful, or have a life. No, i’m just more AWARE than the actual ADULTS in my life, that grades do not MATTER. They are marks on paper, an endless competition and pressure to stuff as much information as we can and spit it all back out, to never remember again. If you don’t stuff in all that knowledge and spit it out? You fail. You are shunned by the system. You have to suffer through more of it during summer, which is supposed to be your break. You are forced to “relearn” it. You are forced to repeat the year. You have to stay up through endless nights and stress, only for it to amount to nothing. You’ve learned nothing at the end of the day. The math we learn does not *matter* if we do not want to be scientist or architects. But we are treated as if each and every one of us like we have to become the smartest people in the universe. We become burnt out, we are bullied, shouted at, threatened- if we do not pass. There is so much in the world we are missing, because we are forced to sit in a school, or behind a screen, the schools controlling every aspect of our lives.
-They control our free time by assigning us hours of homework
-They control our sleep by having us stay up with hours of studying
-They control what we wear with uniform, or dress codes
-They control our day, forcing us to sit down and just listen to someone talk for hours and hours on end, often giving minimal actual interaction
-They control what we eat, everyday in the cafeteria, unless we provide our own food
-They control our mental health, our stress,
they control almost every aspect of our lives, because they want us to get good marks.
Adults will say “Well that’s just how to system is, deal with it”.
We have a *CHOICE* to *NOT* deal with it. But we are constantly forced into picking school over our real lives. The idea *drilled* into our heads that if we don’t get a good mark on a piece of paper, we will fail, and become useless.
This is why i no longer care about my grades.

I cannot express how grateful I am to you in this moment, for rekindling something I had deemed lost, almost. Thank you for reminding me not to loose myself. I am here, present, and ready to take on the universe. Thank you, thank you good sir.
Literally. You're so right,man. I used to be a very 'intelligent' or rather 'perfect' child for the society and parents in school(now im not boasting about myself or something). The thing is when I started college, I started asking myself this question: why am I even studying when I don't even know what I'm studying. The things that I've learned in school now I've already forgotten them. I've been wondering about nature and life and asking myself things that are not related to topics that I'm studying in college and man it's getting worse. At this point, I don't even want to study. After listening to your video, I get it why I don't want to study. Because it gives me nothing except the praises from the society but those praise have nothing to do with me. I'm not satisfied with my life.... but I know that I have to be this way. I have to learn those or rather 'cram' those things.😧 but this time I'm gonna something about it. I know I have to.
Hey, how are you now? Hope it worked out
I had a history teacher in my first high school year who didn't care about grades nor tests . We used to learn and discuss and we didn't have any tests.
There's also this teacher on the news who explained why students shouldn't have homework. What a lucky school.. :(
Legend...
@jamerson kento No
@jamerson kento I would agree with u. But, the problem I run into with hw is that some teachers make it so ur homework is practice for that “upcoming assessment or essay”.
We Need More Teachers Like those Instead of doing the Work why not Discuss it 🤷♂️.
As a “good” student at my school I just wanted to say something, last year I started at a new school and I wanted to be on top of my class so I studied, I studied every day which led to me having an eating disorder, I wanted to have more time to study and thats why I didn’t eat much I also got very antisocial and stressed and a because of grades, even now I study for like 4 houra just because I think I won’t pass and it really stresses me out, i love learing but I just learn to pass and that just isn’t good
same:( I want to not care, but I can't stop caring. So I decided to make at least an hour everyday to learn or read or do things I want to do and quarantine really helped me do that so all is not lost.
If being on top of your class comes at the cost of a eating disorder, its not worth it
Um I used to be the “good student” until this year because I got so frustrated with the amount of assignments that I just gave up on trying it and I think my grades are gonna drop alot
holy shit same..! i suffer from depression and anxiety and my depression had came back bc of some family shit like 2 months ago, but it’s still here because a month of when i was depressed i stopped doing ALL of my work and was ill. so when i finally thought i was getting better i felt worse because i was left with stacked assignments.. then i checked my weight and i lost 14 pounds and i’ve always been pretty skinny (5’0 113 lbs). but now i’m 95-98! i’ve been crying and suffering with the struggle of my grades and trying to keep up with my mental health and it’s just tearing me down so fucking much bruh. and what’s crazy is i’m supposed to be having a christmas break, A CHRISTMAS BREAK for my school! but nah they gave us 2 packets and i have to do a 3 paper project and 7 assignments in different other classes.. this shit is killing me and i’m about to email i need a damn break for fucks sake.
for my Q1 i have honor roll and all (4.0 mostly A’s and 2 B’s), but this second quarter is going to be hell of a mystery for me. currently i have 2 B’s, C’s, and A’s. so i’m pretty on edge 💀😂..
Everything is moving forward and changing, yet school hasn’t changed for over a century.
Everyone else is running past that finish line yet school just sits there plucking the grass.
Probably best video I have ever watched. Everyone knows these, but nothing is made to change. "Studying", as we are talking here, is stressfull, learning, on the other hand, is mesmerizing. Thanks for this. 🙏 (I realized this mentality has got in my way for a long time, cause of circumstances and pressure, but I really resonate with what you said. We shouldn't be defined by these stupid little addictive grades...)
