Now, that you got the idyllic image in your mind, let me tell you about MY high-school experiences. In the first post I made, I mentioned that I took two years of acting, and now I'm planning to switch high-schools. This post is, in fact, a short list of why I'm leaving.
- Stupidity is at high rank. The more stupid you are, the more popular you are, and everybody is DYING to hang out with you. I suggest you go hang yourselves.
- Nobody cares you're smart. From your dull classmates, to your teachers, intelligence is something nobody cares about. I can frankly say that in two years I only met four teachers who were actually interested in the children. I have to admit, the high-school I'm currently in is not exactly brilliant. So, if you have a smart and working student, like me, you shouldn't treat him/her like crap. Except the four teachers mentioned, none of the others cared about hard-work. I found this deeply sad, given the fact that I had given up my chance of going to a much better high-school in order to follow my passion, which was acting. I have to be honest and say that there were two more teachers who did their job every time, with passion, despite us having been nasty to them.
- Gossip ALL the people! Whether you're a student or a teacher, gossiping the others who work more than you is what you really have to do in class. Not teaching or learning, that's for noobs.
- The more you work, the less you get. Oh, so you worked your ass off for a play? Here, let me not tell you about the rehearsal! Oh, you did it again, you silly piece of poop? Here, let me give your role to some bitch who can't even read the names right!
