I feel as though public schools were made to keep out imagination. Do they really think that making the buildings as dull and ominous as possible will help keep kids focused? Perhaps it will, but only on all the wrong things. Where are the trees that represent protection? Where are the welcome mats that represent a friendly environment? When I walk up to the school I would like to think, "Gosh, that would be great place to learn and discover new ideas!" Instead I think, "If there was an earthquake, there would be no safe place when those big angry bricks fall." Todays society thinks, "If they can't get in, there wont be any problems, right?" Whatever happened to, "If they get in, we can easily get out"? ("They" being insane murderers and such.)
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention. The battle between me and the SATs has begun.
Here's a message for the SATs: Give me all you got, but in the end, none of the kids will even know your name. You probably wont even make it into the history books except in the part where it says, "Noelle Bryan, known best for her success at ending the SATs (see page 326 for details),...."
I should have sent you to public school. Too late now. Sigh. . . .
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to learn anything anyway. If you ever work for a large corporate company your work, skills, and creativity are useless since they get averaged with everyone else in the company. If you want to succeed, instead of focusing on the things you learn in homeschool you need to pay more attention to things like dress codes and safety meetings and policy yet be rebellious enough that your coworkers still like you. Also, it helps to learn to complain about morons (anyone dumber than you) and the weather, if you can do that you'll fit right in anywhere. Nothing can prepare you for all of this better than public school.
