What's the point?

Schools push this evil thought into all of our minds; this thought that we’re not good enough; this thought that we should never be wrong. I personally hate how we’re tested unfairly, how our creativity is robbed from us, and overall how we’re being educated.

We’re constantly given tests on things that we all know we will NEVER use in our lives outside of school. These tests are basically seeing who can cram the best, and who can retain the most things at once. Why are we being tested over this? 

We all learn so differently and retain the knowledge in such different ways. Honestly, for a test we all cram the knowledge into our brains, and the second we’re done taking it, we forget every single thing the test was even over. Why aren’t we educated on how to pay bills, how to get a job, how to purchase a car, or even the dos and don’ts of college? These things would be so useful in life. Instead we learn how to find the angle of depression when standing on a water tower looking at a cow in the field that weighs X number of pounds over the ratio of y+n divided by E=mc squared. WHEN WILL I USE ANY OF THIS IN REAL LIFE. The administration knows it, the teachers know it, the students know it, hell even Obama knows it. 

When we do bad on one of these tests we get down ok ourselves. We are raised through school with the mindset of if you get bad grades you won’t go anywhere. If you get bad grades you won’t get into college. If you get bad grades it’s not ok. This makes kids not actually care about what they're learning, but they are more concerned about there grade in the class. Students these days look for the downright easiest way they can get an A, by doing as little as possible, which is quite sad. 

I believe so many students are genius’s in their own way, schools just don’t test over it. Why, if you’re great at math you’re considered smart? Why not if you know every note and scale on a guitar? Everyone is smart in their own way but schools make you believe that if you’re not a genius in the subjects they offer, then hell you’re not smart at all. I believe that is education could use a few changes for the better, I order to teach you more about things that will ACTUALLY be useful in the real world, because believe it or not, is less time then you think, you're gunna be out there on your own and have no idea what to do because you were never taught how to.
