school was so fucked up

it felt like someone actively planned it to be as abusive and humiliating as possible. all i got from school was injured daily

i was never allowed to say something was too much, or given actual choice in studying what i wanted to study. i have forced to do classes that my brain was physically incapable of processing, and was told "i know you can do it" when there was something i couldn't do. i wasn't given help beyond the riddles told by the teachers, instead of just having the material explained

i had classes that were a quick summary of the material, and was given then a pile of worksheets and tests and papers i didn't understand. i was constantly told that "you need to get good grades, or you won't do well in life," and was therefore burdened with the stress of thinking 'bad grades = inching closer to failing life before i'm even 18'

i was forced to do "physical education," when my body was (and is) always fucked up. i had to rush to classes, because there were teachers who would mark you absent for not being in your seat as the bell rang. i had to worry about only being allowed to use the bathroom 3 times a month, in multiple classes

i couldn't talk to anyone about my abuse at home, because then cps would get called to do nothing but inform my abusers that i spoke out

the most important thing i learned in school was that authority is never to be trusted, despite what they wanted to ingrain

nicotine, coffee, and finding queer friends were the only reasons i was able to get through the end of high school

i'm anti-school. kids, and everyone, should have the opportunity to learn and explore, and not to have their dignity and autonomy stripped, and school is opposed to that, so i'm opposed to school. this shit can't be reformed
