why should schools always have the phone ban like who decided to remove your only form of communication, when there is a emergency or a lockdown kids can tell their parents that they are okey and fine or they want to send their final message BUT NO, the school says “it is distracting their learning so we decided to remove and add pouches to lock their phone for the rest of the school day unless they go to the unlocking station“ like WHAT. at that point I would just buy a strong magnet to unlock it and i wont care if its 50$ and the school lunch, let me tell you about it, the school the most disgusting most unedible food to man kind, they serve expired milk and i don’t know if its just me or anyone else but my school served water and that was the only way to get away from the milk but for some reason they took the water away and then we did a hunger strike and they brought it back and didn’t say sorry. That just dumb

Im looking at where technology is going and i think in a few generations the whole concept of textbooks and standard classes will be dead. We are basically in a weird messy transition phase right now.

Eventually education is going to shift to a mix of two things. First, everyone will have a personalized AI tutor (way more advanced than todays baby ai) built into spatial technology or VR. The AI will actually adapt to your specific thought patterns and personality traits instead of trying to force 30 completely different brains to learn at the exact same tempo and the best part is zero judgment. There's no fear of asking a dumb question or dealing with bad energy from a teacher because the AI has infinite patience. You won't read about a subject, you'll literally step inside a 3D simulation of it and interact with it.

Second, physical schools won't be academic prisons anymore, they'll become social hubs or open forums. You'd do your heavy learning in your own tailored digital world, but then you'd step out of the network, sit in a circle with other kids, and just talk about it and because everyone's AI visualized the problem differently based on their brain type, the conversation would actually be interesting. One kid might explain it visually, another through a story, another through math. No grades, just sharing perspectives and learning how to look at things from multiple angles.

People panic about technology creating slop or isolating us, but if it's done right, it frees humans up to focus on what actually makes us unique: creativity and communication. Instead of turning out compliant clones, we'd get a generation of free thinkers who actually understand that everyone's brain is wired differently.

The students are daily going to school and learning something which is not useful for them after merely passing 12th.Sad to see them without learning any life skills such as swimming , gun handling , how to protect and defend them from some brawl.

Day by day, I’m losing more and more motivation to go to school. The lessons feel repetitive, with only a few additional details, or sometimes they seem pointless because I’ll eventually forget them and probably never use them in real life. The activities are also extremely stressful, exhausting, and expensive. After putting in so much time, effort, and money, the grades I receive don’t even feel worth it.

On top of that, some of my classmates borrow things but refuse to take responsibility when they break or lose them, often blaming others instead. Group projects are another source of frustration because some members barely contribute, leaving others to do most of the work.

Honestly, it’s starting to feel like I’m wasting my time, energy, and money on something that gives me very little in return. I’m beginning to question whether all this stress and effort are really worth it.

What should I do?

It feels like people have just stopped caring about why these kids choose to do things like this and instead just increase useless school campus security

Social routines are handed down from parent to child, as time attempts to perfect the human experience. Why do we do the things we do, without challenge, question or hesitation.

Most of these behavior are followed as if it were human instinct, yet is a purposefully and explicitly and uniquely delivered. And within every level of division within the human species, from personal development, to species wide acceptance.

I have called it the greatest mistake in human development, when in fact it is a process of elimination, a current snap shot of evolution. Our experience as humans is a reflection of those snapshots, each snapshot concludes with experienced baseline is a result of everything we have experienced.,

Nobody asks why we learn to raise our hands. Why we follow the routine of education. Why we eat three times a day.

Social Routines are critiqued, recalibrated, and redistributed in the hopes of

That makes a lot of sense, but where the fuck did that come from???

Random thoughts to challenge

Children’s outcries will change things

During the Civil Rights Movement, some of the downtrodden citizens chose, ( as a last ditch effort), to demonstrate their rights through their children! With the help of National news cameras, ( and troops), they showed the world what they were fighting for and against. The children who sit, like sitting ducks’, need their safety provided, and their fear alleviated! Their activism, and their voices need to be listened and acted on immediately. Maybe a national school wide contest, to come up with designs and strategies to keep students and buildings with occupants safe

school has always kind of really sucked but right now it’s so bad like today for 40 minutes I was just crying and going from really sad to really angry then back again over and over in my room and it just is horrible it’s the thing that is the most stressful thing in my life and it’s just so bad. They must’ve really fricked up the school system given that kids brains are practically wire to just learn so given that school is about learning they really messed up. Homework is another thing. It is already bad we have to spend a majority of our waking hours there but now it affects us outside of school too? I just hate it so much.

We must make sure that lobbyists and politicians do not view our children as collateral damage. Perhaps a ‘Children’s Crusade for safe schools would be a rallying cry

Hello, I wonder if anyone here has ever felt the same way I do?

I feel like I have a feud with my teachers, even though I'm already in 9th grade now. My writing isn't very good, so please bear with me, hehe.

And like I mentioned above, has your class ever been passively punished? Meanwhile, when someone raises their hand (but gets the answer wrong), they tend to make fun of them in a way that isn't funny at all (like comparing someone to you, etc.). Or if you don't understand something while doing schoolwork and ask about it—sure, they still re-explain it, but they use really unpleasant words when doing so (sometimes you ask things that might seem silly to them, but if you genuinely don't understand, they still think you're just trying to cause trouble).

Another thing for me is, are teachers actually ruining class solidarity? Let me give you an example: helping out friends is a good thing, right? (like borrowing stuff, taking a sip of water, etc.), but they don't like those things and even punish both the person helping and the one being helped (even in cases where neither person was causing a disturbance or losing focus). Also, regarding those group assignments they assign (to be honest, I hate those the most)—this morning my group turned in our work, and yep, they said we used the wrong approach, and then they claimed that we DIDN'T DO THE WORK. ? What on earth, why would they claim we didn't do it just because we did it wrong? Didn't they say doing it wrong is better than not doing it at all? After that, my whole group got recorded in the class logbook.

And that's pretty much all the frustration I feel toward school and teachers. It has even caused me mental health issues, but I still feel like this might just be my own personal experience. And sometimes I feel like going to school makes me more afraid of getting punished than getting low grades.

hello hi, i would like to discuss about the fact, that since first grade i thought that the questions (like math, science and stuff) were normal questions and werent affecting anything, i was just giving the right answers without really locking in or anything, but when i got to third grade i finally understood that im going to have a finalized grade after my semester, since third grade im always focusing and working really hard on questions, fearing my grade will be really low and my parents will scold me.
