No I think things like the Pythagorean theorem are useful when I need to find out how far away the ladder I had positioned against a light post are definitely useful and like the process of mitosis - man what would I do without knowing that I'm not bitter at all

Like I get some of it is interesting to learn, for some people, but honestly like I would much rather learn how to fill out a resume for like a part-time job - that is a skill I could put to use but then again who doesnt love to learn about parabolas

I appreciate the fact that you agree with me and that you're also passive-aggressively hating on school with me, thank you for that

True 😔 and the fact that we have to study and revise bits of the content is also stressful and very time consuming, well for me it is.
Honestly it just makes me afraid to think about like having a job, does it get worse, does it get better? Also like to get into a good college you need to meet a lot of requirements and be good at things that dont even matter towards the degree you want and like I hate it

Honestly same, and that’s why I’m currently so stressed out and experiencing a lot of depression and anxiety just because of this shit. And nowadays, I keep saying that I don’t want to go to school anymore and that I wish I’d just graduate. Going to school and being in there literally makes me so depressed and anxious, it never makes me happy like ever. Yeah like for me I can get into uni after I graduate high school but I don’t want to get into a ‘good’ one, I just want to get into the ones that can accept final exam scores of like 50 or 60 or something.

Bro same like I'm not sure if it's just something wrong with our generation as a whole or if expectations are being risen but its harder than what other, older, people made it seem like

And the fact that teachers are expecting us to do well or are really wanting us to do well clearly shows that they don’t care about our mental health and wellbeing at all, they just care so much about grades and they make that as part of theirs and the students priorities like can they not 😑

I think some teachers do care, and they really want us to be well but its just that they have a job to do and if its testing that will get us to succeed then they have to prepare us for it
