the schools are really pressurized, you don't turn in your homework for a week or two and you have everyone calling the house,
they drag you down to the counselors, they make you go to the shrink
your crazy you have ADD because you were busy for those two weeks and didn't do your homework
it's a big stupid pointless abusive deal.
Why we base an adults future on their ability to jump through hoops at eleven or fifteen I don’t know
It’s more crap as far as I can tell
At my age with three years of college done, with high grades
I still get administrative people wanting to know what my grades were ten years ago
What do I say? I’m sorry I was being molested by a horrifically abusive adult at 14
And my parents put me in a prison camp in the Appalachian bible belt where I was only allowed to go to school two days a week
It’s ridiculous, it puts you behind too,
you have to apply way ahead of the start of the semester
And if something happens, you miss semesters
And it’s so hard to get into affordable colleges out of PV,
it’s wrong, and then they tell you go somewhere else and do well and we will let you in
and you do and they still don’t
it’s ridiculous we are told that everyone gets an opportunity for a college education in America
then we make it so that colleges are not very accessible to down right blocked to those who had pretty ordinary problems growing up,
sorry problems with sex or sexual abuse as a young girl,
is the oldest story in the book and one of the most horrible in relation to prejudice
college should be accessible to everyone who is able to do the work
and quickly, i shouldn't have to wait six months to go to school,
especially if I'm not going to live on campus
or even worse i shouldn't have to wait for six months to find out if I'm going to be allowed to go to school
or have to deal with prejudice southern people from the fifties
who get to decide whether or not i get to have an education
I have encountered so much in my life that is archaic as hell
I was watching this thing on HBO on Little Rock Highschool
has anyone else caught it?
you should rent it or something, it says a lot
i think the above is what it says
it made me so damn mad, the HBO thing
it's about the black and white students at Little Rock Highschool today
it was horrible, the white preppy kids in pastels go on to Ivy League schools,
the black kids every teacher basically said they were stupid,
did much worse on all forms of testing then the white students and they seemed perfectly fine with just abusing and throwing these kids lives away
racism is alive and well and just as institutionalized in Little Rock Highschool as it ever was
i just wanted to ask the principle of the school how many lives she had been responsible for destroying or throwing away
many of the black students were from poorer families and really bad neighborhoods, it's the same old story, the system will beat up anyone who doesn't do the couple hours of homework everynight or anyone who runs afoul of all the random adults who they have to deal with
i was abused horribly, of course not PV prison camp horribly, but there were some of the same thought processes there,
as an 11 and 12 year old in school, by the school staff.
I talked back once to a teacher, once!
it was all because i didn't do the homework!
at 11 and 12,
i just had a lot of other stuff going on,
my parents were fighting all the time.
My family isn't a very supportive practically one.
if the school had helped me with homework and study skills at 11 and 12
i probably would have been able to keep up with all the homework
they didn't though, like i said it was horribly abusive.
i had a couple hours a night,
i went to this really pressurized private school
my parents really really really fought and it was really nasty
