[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I took subjects I was good at but hated for A-level because all the courses for creative stuff were either crap or had lousy teachers.
Then 2 departments got epic teachers. ( not art though.)
I don't doodle nearly as much as I used to, and I often get stumped on what to write.

School causes insanity and suffering.


Which in effect, increases creativity.

The real problem with school (particularly public school) is that it was designed in, and for, THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. To train children to engage in boring, repetitive tasks day in and day out. We live, now, in a post-industrial society, and this sort of brainwashing is massively counter-productive. Anyways, I'm off to go justify not doing any homework at all elsewhere.

Normal schools over here have you doing 3 hours of homework per day. My school has hardly any homework.

Needless to say, the education level I receive at my school is much higher than what I had in previous schools. But that may also be because I'm usually the only one who goes to class instead of smoking drugs behind some toilet.

I'm delighted I could brighten your day, and this is the spot where a large grinning smiley would be if I weren't carrying out an eternal jihad against emoticons.

I had the same feeling, Only I'm much shorter and I might run faster.

I know a lot of people for whom school would be harder if different subjects weren't separated.  Personally, I can do AP chemistry, honors math & history courses, and CP English.  For those of you who don't know those levels, AP is quite possibly one of the two hardest course levels you can have in high school (at least at my school).  Honors is for above average kids, but not necessarily those who are spectacular at the course's subject.  CP is college prep., for average kids.

I might've taken AP art, but there's just too much writing about what you draw in that class.  I hate doing that.  It's part why I do art in the first place - direct expression through non-creative writing bothers me (why I can't do good in English).

I'm taking five AP courses this year, and it is insane.


Calculus AP
World History AP
Mechanics AP
Chemistry AP
and English AP.

I want to die.

Quit any jobs you have, and if you have a religion, pray dude.  That's the only advice I can give.

At least there are only two weeks left of this hell.

HOLY SHIT THERE ARE ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT!  I HAVEN'T STUDIED ENOUGH!

I don't think that school kills my creativity, and I seriously doubt that any of my teachers are any less smart than I am (including my weight lifting teacher).

It has really helped my creativity I think.
Pre-calculus is really helpful, trying to answer questions without knowing the process really trains critical thinking. The normal math is important to some of my possible future jobs.

AP US History tries to help me look at things from a different prespective, but my teacher (who's totally awesome) still can't beat my 'The japs bombed us first.' arguement.

Some of the life lessions I've learned in Accelerated English make it worthwhile, even if I don't care about Fitzgerald.

Spanish, my weak class, is good just for being hard.
