Blah. I hate life. Not mine, other people's. 'Cause dude, most people's lives SUCK. Mine doesn't. I mean, my dad's a hypocritical ass, who suffers from the delusion the my mom still loves him even after everything he's put her through and despite the fact that she's dating; and my mom is an incredibly emotional person who... um, well she cries, and she has clinical depression I think, and yeah. But she's the far lesser of two evils, and anyone who doesn't have problems with their parents is probly going to be a boring person. But my brother and sister kick ass, as well as my brother's wife, who I recently realized is really fun to talk to about serious stuff because she never condescends to me like so many other adults. Age has nothing to do with intelligence. I mean, of course most kids are stupid, and they don't have the experience that adults have with life. But part of the reason kids are stupid is because it's okay for them to be stupid. Now we have all these stupid adults talking about "not stifling kids' creativity". Bullshit. Telling a kid that he can't talk in class or throw paper or draw when he's supposed to be paying attention is not stifling creativity. Kids are at school to fucking learn. Not so they can feel good about themselves and think that they're better than adults because they can get away with stuff.
I actually was talking to my mom about this today, and she was telling me hwo stupid some of my teachers were. I'm smart, and I know it. I'm not trying to brag, and I know that there are a lot of kids that are smarter than me. But I can learn things easily. Geometry is not a challenge at all, except when I have to go back to something we learned more than two months ago, cause I don't remember every detail of every stupid little thing that I learn in school. But I certainly retain a lot of it.
Anyway! Apparently, because I had some "issues" with being mature in class, some of my elementary school teachers just dismissed me. They didn't see that I could do what the assignment was and so much more. I think that I never got consistent good grades because I didn't care. But I don't remember much about back then.
Plus, now we have all this no bullying shit to deal with. Some stupid teachers think that we're so sensitive that being called names is extremely hurtful to us. And some kids are that sensitive, because of that very system!
I've also had several teachers that won't allow you to even say "shut up" to someone. You can't tell a high school kid that he can't say "shut up". It's stupid, and it's not like you're saying "you're a hopeless idiot" or anything!
Yeesh.
Actually, that's probly why my favorite teachers are the young ones. Not cause they're hot (although my friend on the other hand...), but because they can understand us better. They just went through high school and college and stuff recently, so they know what this stuff is like, and there isn't some giant generation gap or anything. They're also funny, because my geometry teacher gets angry and frustrated about a lot of the same things I do (when it comes to the annoying kids in my class), and watching her react is great, especially since it's only her second year teaching, and she doesn't quite know exactly how to deal with all the different types of kids. Ugh... HOLY CRAP! It's 4:20! AM! I thought it was like 2 or something... I gotta get to sleep. I don't remember what the point of all this was, so maybe I'll follow up on it tomorrow... yawn.
