School. *522*

Math in schools. Is it really necessary?
Why?
What does knowing how to do proofs help you in life?
It doesn't.
Now, if you ask a math teacher they will make up some bullfrog answer of the meaning of math, well, of course they will they are a math teacher. (Not saying math teachers are horrible, I dislike all teachers equally).
But honestly. Why do we need to know these useless skills?
Well, sad fact, I can't answer that.
When you go look at something like that Board of Education and what they say about subjects and why it is important it is a lie. Those people are trained to bullshit everything they say. That is why the school systems suck so bad.
If you go and type into Google, "school makes me" you will get answers like cry, kill myself, stressed, smoke, all of these horrible answers.
I am a person who loves school. Mostly. There are somethings I do not really dig about it, but for the most part I enjoy school.
Yet.
I don't.
Why?
Well because school nowadays puts a ridiculous amount of stress and pressure on children. Teachers, administrators, parents, other students, the school board itself, all of these are factors that make school worse.
How?
Let's start with an example, I had 3 AP classes at the beginning of this school year, 2 regular classes, a full time job, and a demanding sport. I wouldn't get to sleep until about 2 a.m. I would get out of school at 2:45, pick up my little sister at about 3:15, go home to drop her off and change for either work or cheer have to be there at about four wouldn't get home until 8-8:30, shower, eat (if I had time) and then do my homework (which was something for each class every night) I would get done with homework about 1:30-2 a.m., sleep (if I could) and be up at 7:00 that morning, then repeat. My grades fell. I came to school overly tired. I almost never ate because I never had time. I was stressed and very depressed. I never wanted to get out of bed anymore because of school.
My point being, I am not the only one.
These problems are problems over half the kids in the school system face.
Major question is why is nothing being done about it?
Why is something like the School Board or the educators we see everyday, not realizing these problems and try to do something about it?
I don't have that answer, even though I wish I did. Maybe one day though kids will stand up for their rights as students in the system.
Also to bring my opening back to play, why aren't we be taught things that'll help us in life? Something that would take the stress down a little instead of the pointless shit such as, natural logarithms. What about how to balance a check book, how to prep for families, how to budget you money, stuff about maintaining a car. THINGS THAT WE COULD USE!
The school system is heavily flawed.
