I don't like school, but that is generally because the teachers in it are useless, and because the teachers only like the kids that are clones/perfect, in which I'm not. I learn more from reading from a textbook.

I'm not saying that I don't learn, because I do; but there is certain teachers in my school that I actually learn nothing from. Maybe it's just the lack of decent teachers around these days.

Plus, my school thinks that everything revolves around appearance, perfect uniform and no jewelery. But as I don't comply to that, as I want to be unique, all of a sudden this makes me a bad student. When really, I'm not. Teachers/the school should be encouraging students originality, instead of trying to make everybody look like clones; because I have a nose-stud, I got threatened to be kicked out of school, surely is that fair? [I didn't as my mum went into the school, and stated the fact that IF I was a member of a certain religion then I would have to wear a nose-stud(which I'm not), but rules cant apply to some people and then not others.]

Also what really pisses me off is all the coursework we get outside of school, I go to school for 7 hours a day, I don't really expect to come home and then have to work for more hours, and THEN handle a working job to make money at the same time. I quit my job partly because of this, as I really wasn't getting any me time, and I suffering from a serious lack of sleep.

However, I enjoy school because of the social side, and the fact that I want to get good qualifications so that I can get a good job, afterall, basically my whole life has been leading up to my final exams, so I'm not going to go and smurf it up.
