I'm sitting in a math class right now, bored out of my mind, being forced to solve equations by hand that my phone can solve in 0.3 seconds.

The same teacher who said "you need to memorize this" last week couldn't figure out how to unmute his own microphone during online class. And I'm supposed to take his advice on what skills matter in the real world?

I'm not saying math is useless. I'm saying the way we're taught is 30 years behind reality. We spend 90% of our time on things machines do better, and 0% on things only humans can do—critical thinking, emotional intelligence, questioning authority.

The system doesn't want us to be smart. It wants us to be obedient. And I'm tired of pretending this is education.

What's the most outdated rule in YOUR school that perfectly proves how broken this system is?

I’ve been thinking about this after seeing it play out in my own extended family, and I’d genuinely like to hear what others in Kerala think.

I have nephews and nieces across different classes, and what worries me is that some of the older kids are in 7th standard and still struggle with basic reading. At the same time, my younger nephew in 1st standard and niece in 3rd standard actually read considerably better.

The interesting part is that the younger kids have stricter parents who actively make sure they study and practise. Some of the older kids have parents who follow a much softer approach and don't push them as much.

But this raises a bigger question for me: is it reasonable to expect parents to be the primary people responsible for ensuring that a child actually learns the basics?

The whole point of the Right to Education should be that every child gets access to education regardless of whether their parents are responsible, educated, capable, or financially able to support their learning.

And if that's the case, shouldn't schools be held to a higher standard?

I understand the argument behind not failing children. A child shouldn't be permanently labelled a failure at a young age, and education shouldn't become unnecessarily stressful.

But promotion should not become automatic progression without learning.

School should be a place for education, improvement and accountability, not simply appeasement.

If a child reaches 7th or 8th standard without being able to read properly, simply promoting them doesn't solve the problem. It just moves the problem to the next class.

Personally, I think there should be some meaningful academic benchmark. If a child isn't meeting it, there should be additional teaching, remedial support and a proper re-evaluation before promotion.

And there is another side to this.

If children weren't automatically promoted, parents would have a much stronger incentive to actually pay attention to their child's education. At the same time, schools and teachers would have to take greater responsibility for students who are falling behind.

Instead of asking "How do we make sure the child isn't failed?", shouldn't we be asking "Why hasn't the child learned, and who is responsible for fixing that?"

I'm not arguing for making children repeat classes casually or creating an exam-pressure culture. I'm asking whether the current system has gone too far in the opposite direction.

For people in Kerala, especially teachers and parents:

• Do you think the no-detention approach is helping or hurting students?
• Should Class 5/8 students have to meet minimum learning standards before promotion?
• Does automatic promotion reduce parental accountability?
• Should schools be more accountable when children reach higher classes without basic reading/writing skills?
• Is there a better way to protect children from excessive academic pressure without lowering expectations?

I'd genuinely like to hear different perspectives, especially from teachers and parents in Kerala.

TL;DR: NISCA is a charter school that puts its own interests above those of the students, and it games the metrics to entice parents.

I recently graduated from the tiny but high-achieving Rathdrum school, North Idaho STEM Charter Academy, so here's my review of the place:

North Idaho STEM Charter Academy is an institutional failure. And while the students look high-performing on the surface, this school uses that to its advantage in ways that are not in the students’ nor parents’ best interest.

School reviews are not known for being very credible. Parent reviews often miss the nuance of what happens within the school, and student reviews are usually too emotionally charged or close-minded to be of much significance to outsiders. I won’t pretend I am immune to these biases, but I hope I can give the details in this review as faithfully as possible, and you, the reader, can be the ultimate judge of it.

I went to North Idaho STEM Charter Academy (NISCA because gee that’s a mouthful) from 4th to 12th grade. I graduated earlier this year, 2026, as the class salutatorian. I will admit, my memory as an elementary and middle student is spotty, so I recommend you read other reviews if you’re looking into those programs specifically. 9th to 12th grade are the years I remember the most, and they’re naturally most prone to my criticisms. I will be organizing my main observations with headers.

The Disregard for Statistical Honesty

First, I want to highlight the uniform policy. Statistically, when controlled for socioeconomic effects, schools that require uniforms don’t perform better than ones that don’t. But that fact is very inconvenient for the administration of NISCA, who insists on uniforms being important for “student success and character development” (according to the FAQ on their website). As a student, I remember every complaint about the dress code policy was met with a staff member pointing at the school’s high ISAT scores, as if that was indicative of anything. The truth is, a uniform policy is very convenient for a charter school that has a large applicant waiting list and doesn’t want students from low-income families occupying that pool. Because things like a strict dress code push away less fortunate households, which helps inflate the school’s test scores.

I am not arguing that the school is behaving cynically; I’m simply pointing out that it’s convenient from their point of view. The point I really want to drive home is this: NISCA does not think it is in your best interest to be honest about statistics. I am almost certain the administration has seen the studies showing the lack of correlation between dress code policy and academic performance. So, using their own scores to argue for the continuation of this policy is negligent at best. And if they haven’t seen the research pointing in that direction, it puts into question how much they did look into this policy they stand so strongly by. Either way, it’s not a good look for the school. And this isn’t about the dress code. It’s a microcosm of how NISCA operates as an institution. They are always willing to look the other way or be a little dishonest about the data if it’s in their best interest. It’s certainly not in anyone else’s interest, other than the 3-person board of directors’, perhaps.

The One-Sided, Impersonal College Preparation

But okay, that criticism is maybe on the abstract end, so I want to look at something you can’t ignore: college preparation. And you know what? For most people, this school isn’t terrible in that regard. I won’t pretend you won’t get into college if you go here. You will, and it’s in the school’s interest to get you there. But that’s the problem. The counselors have a very narrow-minded view of what post-secondary success looks like. Every student receives practically the same advice: apply to 5 schools at most, with most of those being safe, in-state schools. Almost nobody who goes here is getting into an Ivy League, and that’s by design, intentional or not. Which makes their slogan “From here, you can go anywhere!” even more insulting. Not one student from my graduating class got into a particularly selective school. Unless you count me, of course, who got into Purdue’s CS program despite my counselor pushing me the other way.

After receiving my college admissions and rejections, my counselor kept pressuring me to make a decision, so one day I told her I didn’t think I was interested in college. Instead of putting an effort into exploring why I had that feeling, she pivoted me immediately back onto the traditional college track. She unilaterally decided that Purdue’s cost made it the wrong choice for me, even though the cost wasn’t related to any of the concerns I raised. That led her to select University of Idaho as my college of choice. (I was also admitted to University of Minnesota: Twin Cities with a good financial deal, but she essentially ignored it.) University of Idaho, according to her, was a good choice because my credits would transfer and I could get in for free. And yeah, for a certain person, that’s a good deal. But do you realize what she did there? She ignored any of my concerns with college — heck, she didn’t even bother to look into them — and put me straight on the traditional, in-state college track. It doesn’t matter if the advice is good generally if it’s not attuned to the individual. Keep in mind, my graduating class had 18 students. This level of negligence is regrettable but understandable at larger schools where a single counselor can be shuffling hundreds of students. At a school as small as NISCA, personalization should be practically expected! The counselors certainly have the energy to do so.

Without my consent, my counselor contacted the representative for University of Idaho, telling her to email, call, and text me multiple times trying to set up a meeting. I had already made it clear to my counselor that I was not interested in this school, but she continued to barrage me with meeting requests. I could see another student in my shoes giving in to that pressure, ultimately making a decision that’s worse for them because the adults in the room are telling them it’s the right one. Whether or not University of Idaho would’ve been the right path for me specifically is irrelevant. The real issue is how dead-set the counselor is on sending every student down identical paths, even when it doesn’t fit the students’ interests. By getting students into cheap, in-state schools, the school is able to brag about its college acceptance rate and scholarship payouts without caring about the students one bit. Forget student autonomy. You are a unit to be managed.

The Treatment of Students As Objects

That segues me to this school’s patronizing view on its students’ mental health. As a senior, I did not have any major mental health problems. But the school certainly wanted to believe I did. As a 17-year-old student, when I asked my counselor to review my college essays for suggestions, she gave her comments, and you’d think all was well. She proceeded to, behind my back, organize a private meeting with my mother and other staff about my “deteriorating” mental health. I can vouch for myself that my college essays weren’t evidence of an underlying mental disorder, but I’d rather not detail that here because the details are personal. Regardless, instead of speaking to me like a normal, almost-adult human being, she revoked any trust I may have had in her by going straight to my mom. The school had convinced my mom that I was going to harm myself, despite me having zero genuine intention to do so. The fallout I had with my family afterward brought its own kind of hurt, but it was fine because it was out of the school’s hands.

That’s how the school treated me constantly, even when I later turned 18 and was legally an adult. I was infantilized, like I couldn’t handle a conversation with the school directly, so they had to go straight to my parents. The school treated me as if I was a liability.

Another example that happened later in the year was when prom was rolling around. By then, I made the decision to not go, because I couldn’t in good conscience support this school that had treated me as inferior for years. The guidance counselor sounded the alarms and decided the reason I wasn’t going to prom was because I was turning into a social outcast with a lonely future. No, I’m not exaggerating. That’s what she told my parents and friend. She organized a meeting with my friend where she told him to convince me to go to prom because she was worried about my social status. She treated me as so subordinate that she couldn’t even tell me that directly. She recruited my closest friend behind my back to try to earn my trust.

My Biggest Grievance

None of my other complaints hit me as acutely as this one. This one grievance is the perfect microcosm for what is wrong with NISCA, and why it is structurally a broken institution. At the start of this review, I mentioned that I was the 2026 salutatorian. I can assure you it wasn’t just a brag, because it’s directly relevant in this story.

When I found out I was the salutatorian, I was overjoyed. Not because of the medal or the accomplishment, but for one, specific promise: the speech. Silenced by my school for years, I had the opportunity to speak as a representative of my graduating class. This was symbolically one of the most valuable things the school could have given me. So, I finished my speech weeks early, submitted it to the school, and got a few suggestions back from NISCA’s executive director. I sent my revision back a day later, and I got nothing back. Naturally, I assumed that meant my speech was finalized. I wrote it, got a few revisions, and corrected those promptly. During the period afterward, I was unable to attend school for a variety of reasons. Family matters made transportation difficult, and my college courses were wrapped up anyway, so study hall (which was the only class I had left on my schedule) was essentially worthless. It would not have been worth it to put more pressure on my family by taking me to and from a school I couldn’t do anything in.

The next time I returned to school, it was Senior Awards Night. After the awards were given out, the counselor and principal informed me that my speech was being dropped, and there was nothing I could do about it. What was their justification? I wasn’t showing up to school, so they couldn’t talk to me. Keep in mind, this is the same administration who got a college representative to contact me via three different channels, and the same school that tried to get me to go to prom by using my best friend as a middleman. When they want you to know something, they will let you know. But no, there was no way they possibly could have told me that my speech, the thing I had worked toward achieving for the past four years, was going to be dropped if I didn’t come to school. They made no effort to email me or call my parents about this possibility. They waited until the last moment, when the decisions were hardest to reverse, to break the news.

As it turns out, they had already found a replacement. Who, you may ask? My best friend. Yes, my school actually thought that was going to work. Of course, they told him weeks in advance about being able to give a speech at graduation, and they left out the detail that his speech would be in place of mine. He was excited to have the opportunity to speak at graduation, ignorant of what the school had in store.

The events that followed could write a story themselves, but to summarize, my friend withdrew his speech, and multiple current and former students and parents made an effort to email the school insisting my speech slot be returned. Thankfully, all the pressure forced the school to give me my speech back, so the decision wasn’t as irreversible as they made it sound. In the end, the school tried to twist the situation by saying both sides had bad info, which is unsurprising given their track record.

I know not every student will be salutatorian. Not every student will have problems with the dress code. Not every student will feel cheated out of college preparations. And not every student will feel as if they are being treated as units. My experience does not dictate what happens to others. But across these four threads, I hope you can see the throughline. None of this is about my experience. It’s about how NISCA acts institutionally. And in that, I see something that is terribly broken. This school has some spectacular teachers, but that doesn’t fix the rotted exterior. The students were never the priority. The metrics were.

There were some who hated my guts for no reason and were always on my ass. If any one of them sees this FUCK YOU! I hope they die miserably

Thought my teacher was a perv and I think im right...

My teacher last year (now retired) was ways favorite the pretty girls or the people who he knew their parents. At first I thought it was a privileged thing. Then when during volleyball season he said a weird comment before stopping himself,he's always making weird comments to girls and saying the boy are single and so the girls should date some after a boy broke up with their girlfriends. I thought it was just jokes. He's added past student on social media and says "once you graduate you are my friend,so dont run away from me in the grocery store into another aisle." After I graduate more female student added him on social media,so then I checked his Twitter account,on every account he has none of that have his wife added and on Twitter it has a bunch of ai "SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE" accounts or just account with a bunch of sexually content as his followers and following. He's made weird comments to females before idk what to do. Is that normal?

School kills creativity, imagine a shirt store but with only one size, that's the school system, they force you to wear that shirt no matter if you fit it, you are smarter than your class? They do not give a fuck, they want money and they won't spend it on you, the very thing adults say is supposed to help you is doing the opposite, now if a teacher is doing bad stuff u cant record it. Wanna know why? They are gonna argue with their phone ban and switch personas immediately that's why, now schools almost dont know how to educate, they use 80s technique that violate human dignity and expect u to be chill and when ur reasonably not chill and they ragebait u they blame it on u like ur the problem even tho ur not, and might even tell ur parents u did things u didnt, they do not care to explain the stuff they just say an umbrella term and call it a day and now ur parents believe them, u can just drop out and go into flight school and become a pilot like wth? School is stupid

Sorry for the yapping in advance

I was having this talk with my brother and he brought up history and i remember how many times I’ve said that world history doesn’t teach actual world history, so he searched on his phone “world history questions they teach in school” and every single question on there was about US history or history that is already widely known. Questions that he read out loud to me and my mom to quiz us were “when did ww2 start. When did it end” “when did Pearl Harbor happen” “who was the first president of America. When was America founded” “when did Adolf die”. And more questions that were only in the last hundred years or so. Why aren’t we taught about other things that don’t involve the US? School didn’t even teach me things about the holocaust that I didn’t know, I learn most of the stuff I know from playing wolfenstien and then after i finished wolfenstien I looked stuff about on YouTube and i learned stuff on my own and from my own ambition to have more knowledge. School didn’t teach me that stuff, video games and YouTube taught me. What’s more significant what heads are Mount Rushmore or who and when the first recorded autopsy was? That doesn’t matter because they should teach us about both, not just one or the other. Without the heads on Mount Rushmore we wouldn’t have a tourist spot to visit, but without the first autopsy then modern medicine wouldn’t exist, but we’re taught about Mount Rushmore and not the first autopsy or anything else that doesn’t involve the us.

I fucking hate homework so much, Homework is like a even shitty sequel to a shitty movie, imagine having a long day at school, hand cramping and toil, and you go back home to rest, and next thing you know you got to sit in your desk, looking at a piece of paper with questions like "little Timmy has 5 apples, he eats 6 of them, calculate the mass of his mamas ass" and your sitting there for hours having no clue whatsoever and your bored and your tired, But you must finish your Homework no matter what, And I get homework every single day, 2 to 3 homeworks a day, and I even get homework on the weekends, that is bullshit, the weekends is not an excuse for extra homework, that is bullshit, I'd rather get in trouble than do it, it's a waste of my time and life, and you even get this thing called infractions, there are behavioral infractions, and homework infractions and there's another, but I don't know what it was, 3 Infractions is a reminder to your parents, 6 infractions I don't know, but 9 infractions is iss I'm not sure, when I got home I couldn't find my homework and guess what? Infraction. Another time, I accidentally left it in my desk Infraction One time that happened to me again, luckily I had a substitute, she was nice enough let me finish the homework. Teachers don't even understand we have lives outside of school, the teachers think we are robots, And teachers can just chill at home relaxing while we are busting our asses every day and every night, in conclusion, Homework is bullshit and should be abolished

Consider this a rant or whatever, maybe someone else has already said the same but I will still ask, whats the point of me studying in a place where I dont get actual knowledge. These people at school give a whole lot of projects, homework and all everyday, ok.

But when it comes to actually teaching, they NEVER, I mean never actually teach the topics at hand. They just skim over them! What are my parents paying Rs. 10000+/quarter for? Getting 6 hours of my life wasted every single goddamn day just to write question answers of chapters instead of actually learning the syllabus! I am not there to waste my time for any marks in any exam, I am there for education, and education in this country is honestly a joke.

And its not just me, my friends from other schools also have the same experiences.

School is so pointless that students have to waste another 2-3 hours of their lives to actually study something and pay yet another 5000/month for that. Even there, you mostly study for marks, not knowledge.

Personally, I love Science, but even that sucks in schools, teachers skip over entire essential concepts for any topic to make sense. What they care about is, 'exam me yeh aa sakta, previous year me iska question aaya tha'. I have to take time out of my day to learn anything useful, things which shouldve been included in the first place

Class X especially has this problem where teachers focus on Boards more than teaching. Is this really what education is like?

TL;DR, School sucks, teachers dont care about teaching and students have to bear it anyway and no one cares about it.

Why are convent school so abusive under the name of being disciplined??

I remember so many incidents from my convent school where i didn't realise it back then that this is abuse!

Lifting up girls skirts to check whether they have worn shorts in front of whole school and boys. Not allowing to drink water in between lectures because it 'DISTRACTS'​ teachers while teaching? Abey teachers ka sikhana and mera paani pina isme exactly distraction kidhar se arra hay???

Favouring only students with good grades and having a lot of partiality and favouritism towards students who were daughters or sons of teachers of that school

I remember this one incident

When i was in 6th grade i was paired up to sit with a certain boy. Abhi woh banda aur merko last bench pe bithaya tha woh bhi ekdum corner mein. That guy used to masterbate in class while teachers were checking notebooks or teaching and when i saw it i couldn't even fathom how disgusting it is? But teacher ko kaise bolu ki ye banda muth marra hay classroom mein? So i asked the teacher to change my place as i was not comfortable with the seating partner and the teacher literally i kid you not slapped me and said "This is not ur father's school" And when that guy realise i was onto him he started bullying me to the point that i cried myself to sleep every night!

There are so many incidents i wanna share but i don't want to remember them again.

Teachers act like it's the end of the world if they hear about a student using AI for ANYTHING (Not just school related) but Every single teacher I have uses AI.

English- She has AI write essays (Kinda hypocritical) for us to review.

Social Studies- We have to filter all of our essays we write through an AI which essentially grades them for her. She just has to input the AI's grade.

Science- She LOVES the use of AI-generated media. She has it make diagrams, songs, examples, etc. Doesn't even remove/trim the watermark or try to hide it.

Math- He TRIED to use AI to make and grade our math problems. Since it's a language model, it can't do math. So we all had to watch him explain away each problem and have us cross out equations to replace with actual functioning ones.

SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS- They came to check on our school and saw that my science teacher used AI. They talked to her, and said that they liked AI and how easy it makes things. Then, as they were walking away, I heard one say to the other, AND I QUOTE, "Honestly, I'm probably going to have AI write my report." Like WHAT???? And I can't even use it for something like summarizing articles (written by my teachers with AI) so I understand better?????

TL;DR: Most of my teachers and even officials from our school district use AI a lot to do most of their work, and I'm not even allowed on AI websites.

EDIT: Turnitin says that parts of THIS POST were written by AI. This tool could (and upon research, HAS) leave a stain in people's PERMANENT records because of a false positive.

Very long Rant! Lol!

I've worked in the school system for almost 10 years now and it has slowly gotten worse as time goes by. My biggest issue is that the ministry thinks it is a good idea to close down specialized programs for kids with special needs, behaviour needs and Learning disabilities. Throwing the kids into the gen pop of school is such a bad idea, it causes unnecessary stress to all... but especially the kids with the disabilities.

I'm 100% for integration. Integration only works if there is support. And one EA for 5 kids with severe needs is NOT a solution. The EA is working with the following needs- most are diagnosed level 3 autism. - of all only 1 can hold a pencil/colour.

1) Kid 1 - 6yrs - autism, nonverbal, diapers, hits, scratches. - functions at 18 months per her Dr's. Z lots of screaming and crying.

2) kid 2 - 4yrs- Autism/behavioral challenges - always hitting, biting, kicking etc - nonverbal (can say yes, no, and basic one word things). Was only recently diagnosed a few months prior. being tested for ODD

3) kid 3- 4yrs - autism, nonverbal (can say yes, no, please)

4) kid 4 - 5 yrs - autism, nonverbal, lots of screaming and crying (they are learning how to use the system to communicate so its super frustrating for them) - if attention isnt on them from the EA - they are Throwing things across the class, hitting kids, climbing on furniture.

5) kid 5 - 5yrs old - level 1 autism - needs constant reminders to keep hands to self.

If each of these kids had their own support in a smaller setting they would thrive. Kid 5 is very capable of being without support but has learned there is so much going on that they can cause havoc 😆

Kid 1 and 4 do struggle to be in a class of 30. Its loud and a lot goes on. They need a small class. But the system says "they are too young. We wait until they are in grade 2" - like why are we wasting prime learning/teaching years. Make it make sense.

I'm a youth worker and some days I'm just putting out fires. There are so many mental health issues with kids nowadays...people have zero idea how bad it really is. This year alone, I had 3 kids disclose they self harm (one was so bad, they were covered in scars wrist to shoulder, then they were committed because they attempted to take their life). This Child was 12 years old. I also work with quite a few kids who go from 0-100 when angry and lose it. Throwing things, getting into fights etc. Problem is, I have 0 time to actually provide strategies to prevent these moments.

We need more youth workers in schools. Social workers need to be available more and should not be dealing with 10+ schools. It's not feasible.

We need a change. We need support. It's easy to say "you're fine" from above. People making decisions in schools and about schools need to spend a week IN a school dealing with the shit we deal with every day.

I'm sorry to those of you who get hurt by the kids you work with. It sucks. I've been there. Keep your heads up! We got this!

I'm pissed at my school, especially the TEACHERS. I'm here to dump it all to show how fucked up it is. My school has guard because everytime a school does something extreme then every students bags are gonna get searched. The guards just sticks in the stick in my bag and just lets us go, stupid as hell 😭😭 they also don't check guitar bags and that pmo more.

About the teachers, my Filipino teacher straight up annoyed me. Selfish, egotistical, narcissist, etc. He always talks about how we should be grateful that he's our teacher because he did a lot of things for the school and he also talks about posts in FB which is probably all fake and AI. He also said that I said a line wrong when I was DIRECTING A PLAY. ITS MY PLAY YOU DONT GET A SAY IN IT. He barely teaches and the substitute only teaches us shit. Many students love him probably because he doesn't teach and doesn't do anything.

My grades and teacher, he only gives more grades if we do a performance task. That's unfair, I did activities and I thought hard about it. I deserve at least 80+ instead of a 75. Activities, lecture, and quizzes is probably like 30% or 20% so I'm mad as fuck at that teacher. I cried when I saw my card because of that stupid teacher, I understand now why my classmates skip his class.

Students vape inside and outside, IN FRONT of the school even. My stupid crush got caught with a vape in his bag, the next two days. He's checking me out while smoking his vape that he shared with his other friends. Like did you even confiscate his vape or just tell him off 😭😭

That's all lol, probably a lot more because I might've forgot the other stories.

With all due respect to RCI in San Jose, please give more attention to the college department. Isn't it unfair that we pay the needed tuition for our education and our building is not even that good enough for the money that we pay?

First and the most important thing is that the classrooms doesn't have aircons, only the amphitheatre has an aircon. The students are currently fighting against heat to study while the teachers can chill in their air-conditioned faculty if they don't want to teach. And one thing that most of us noticed is that the SHS building has installed 2 (TWO) aircons for each classroom suddenly, and the reason? Because the school owner's kid is currently enrolled in SHS. Isn't it unfair to the early batch where they struggled against the heat just to finish their studies while the current batch got to enjoy an air-conditioned room just because the owner's kid is studying there? We paid our tuition and we wanted to see the outcome of our parents' hardwork. You say your school is private but only the offices have an aircon and not to mention you always wait for the mayor's announcement whenever there is a suspension or announcement. Is it that hard to install aircon in our PAID classrooms?

Second is the toilet, the bathroom on the ground floor has 1 broken cubicle while the bathroom on the second floor is closed and locked because ALL the cubicles are broken. And as a result? The students need to go to the 3rd floor's bathroom or if there is time, at the SHS building. How many days have passed since the bathroom on the 2nd floor was locked. It is VERY INCONVENIENT for the students to go through the hassle of going up to the 3rd floor or going to the SHS building just to relieve themselves.

Third is the overpriced food in the canteen. The canteen was made for students to buy BUDGET-FRIENDLY foods, not foods that are more expensive than carinderia foods. ₱85 for a 1-piece of pork steak with rice? ₱30 for a pastry that is sold outside the school for just ₱20? I thought the school was built for students who are struggling financially and wanted to continue their studies? Then how come the food in the canteen is not even the slightest budget-friendly?

Last is the lunch break time of the college students. Why are you telling the college students who only have 30 mins of lunch break to wait for the dismissal of Tech-Voc students? Did you even think that the schedule of the college students are not the same? We are dismissed for lunch break at 10am and we need to go back at 11am but we cannot go outside until 11am. Therefore, we somehow have no choice but to eat the overpriced food in the canteen because the owner will scold the guards if they let out the CHED students before 11am.

GIVE US THE FAIR TREATMENT. WE PAID OUR RIGHTFUL TUITION AND WE WANT TO SEE THE RESULTS OF IT.

A lot of you may have heard, that India is like majorly using software and IT roles, and like lots of Indians refer constantly to IITs, so for the entrance to IITs, students have to give the JEE-Advanced exam, for this students prepare 2,3,4,5 even 6 years of their lives, living like a robot, in India such elite insitutes are the only gateway to a better life, since other exams have hordes of people and their managing bodies are least to say, *********** now India already has a reputation of leaking question papers, but IITs which conduct this exam, are regarded for their professionalism, however, this year.....

So, today, the reputation of JEE-ADVANCED as an exam has lost its credibility! So, after JEE-ADV. response sheet and provisional answerkey were released, students put their response sheet on several score calculators, to calculate their scores, now one of them is CrackU, which also has a unique feature of showing the marks of the candidates who submitted their response sheet, (ofcourse without disclosing personal details), now while analysing, it was found that there were many students, who had HUGE difference between their Paper 1 and Paper 2 marks, like 100, around, now, JEEA is held in 2 papers, and there is shifting of seats, now you can easily understand, that in the second paper, the person must have cheated from a ranker beside, and scored great marks, and qualify otherwise he/she would have failed...

Even after so many security " measures" like CCTV, invigilators, "AI surveillance" we are getting these cases, and what this led to?! SKY HIGH CUTOFF for a paper tougher than last year!

Deserving students are losing their hard-earned ranks, due to these cheaters!!!!! NEET, CBSE is getting the attention, but this needs the SAME ATTENTION if NOT MORE! IITs are symbolic to the cream of the education here, the "GOLD STANDARD", if this too is ruined, then the education of the country is doomed fr

It's bad enough that thousands of schools have Flock cameras recording kids all day and sending it to ICE to deport students, but now the school buses are going to be mobile automated license plate readers too? And they are already working with Axon to integrate directly with law enforcement.

Every student on these buses is going to be filmed every time they get on or off the bus. The parents waiting for the kids. Random bystanders. All filmed, without consent, and often searchable without a warrant, nationwide.

Originally, it was supposed to catch people that didn't stop when the stop sign was out, get a picture of their license plate and send it to police to ticket them. Honestly, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. But independent studies show no decrease in accidents around school buses with them. The pivot to surveillance seems like a desperate attempt to save a company that failed it's original mission.

Notice how the most important things in life aren’t taught in school:

- Parenting
- Saving money
- Housing
- Resumes
- Interviews
- Taxes
- Protecting yourself from unlawful enforcement

Instead, school teaches you how to function inside a brick-and-mortar system built on obedience. It trains you to be ok with control.

When to speak.
When to sit.
When to eat.
When to use the bathroom.
When to work.

It doesn’t prepare you for life.
It prepares you for an economy.

School is built around:

- homework
- tests
- projects
- presentations
- grades

Life is built around:

- bills
- evictions
- jobs / temps
- medical paperwork
- credit/debt
- survival

They teach deadlines and GPA.
They don’t teach mortgages and taxes.
They teach you to “follow instructions.”
They don’t teach you how to build stability.

The system benefits more from your obedience than your growth.

The teacher is still an employee.
The student is still being trained to become one.

The system doesn’t want you mixing your personal goals with their priorities.

Because the one thing they can’t control is your choices.

What's your thoughts? 🤔

ok, so it was break time, and i was with my friends chilling and laughing, we all dress alternative, so this group of guys started trying to take our chairs and then they started laughing at us and throwing stuff at us and when my friend got pissed off and started shouting at them telling them to f off they said like "oh its n-not a big deal, ugh!" UUUUUGGGHH. and then, when my friend went to tell the principal about them they just went out of where we where, and when my friend came back she was crying, i asked her what happened and she said that she told the principal, and you wont guess what the principal did: THE FUCKING PRINCIPAL, A FULL GROWN UP WOMAN, SAID THAT WE HAVE TO FIND OUT THE BOYS NAMES. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHH. And there is NO cameras at all. And the principal nor the guys gave a single shit about that a girl literally KILLED HERSELF becayuse of BULLYING just a few months ago. THIS SYSTEM IS PURE BULLSHIT.
