Fucking English classes where english wasn't tought, but rather "indian history", complete with field trips so that we could make our own Tee-pee's, Math classes where I'd have to point out the the teachers mistakes, it was laughable.
And the saddest part, reading "Lord of the Flies" not once, or twice... but (at least once) EVERY year from 7th to 12th grade.
Teachers should be replaced by computers, the chairs should be fitted with restraints, and the students under constant testing.

I'm glad I didn't go to the school you went to
Where I went to school, I had a bunch of great teachers who challenged me to push myself. My third grade teacher is one of the greatest influences I've had in my life. As a kid I was considered a "brain" and got a lot of shit for it , but helped me chanel my frustration and anger at this redneck motherfucks by focusing on writing and word arts. I wrote a book in third grade (simple 10 pieces of typing paper folded in half) and she pushed me to keep writing and even went so far as to give me extra challenges like advanced spelling words and math problems (that I was still graded the same as my peers). Every year to this day, I still send her a Christmas card.
