This is gonna be a long thread, I warn you! Anyway, my main questions are.. 1. What are AP classes? 2. What classes do you guys actually have.
I'll tell you a few things about how the school is where I live (In case you want to whine about how horrible school is, read this and reconsider what you just said! Anyway, grades are from 1 to 10, 1 being worst and 10 best. Most of the basic classes would be (of course, there are more classes for special schools, special sections etc) Those are the classes that I am taking: math, science, german, english, romanian, art, music, history, geography, latin (I have latin this year, ogawd), biology, chemistry, technology (not computers, you actually learn about processes and what factory workers do, stupid af lmao), religion (indoctrination.com), social studies (you don't get rid of this class for a looooonggg time, but it isn't too bad :p), physical ed Anyway, school here is...terrible. Most teachers are not prepared, and basically all you do in a class is copy from textbook or copy what the teacher writes on the blackboard. Sometimes the teacher just talks for the whole class and you just have to write that. No explanations, no experiments, no nothing. (Our labs have stuff from the 60-80's and computers have 256 MB of RAM, so you can imagine..) Anyway, most people who get out of school know almost nothing that uses in life, because our textbooks are the same from the 90's and that teacher's don't care to teach anything cause they have like 300-400$ a month as a salary. To learn A FEW things, you have to go to private classes with a teacher, and ofc, you have to pay for those. No lunch break EVER, NOT EVEN IN PRIMARY SCHOOL. You don't even have a locker or something, you keep your bag/stuff under your freaking desk(if you can call that 30 year old ugly table a desk). Anyway, teachers are very unfair in everything, they treat students like they wouldn't be a human being or something.. Now, this is the hard part to understand, pay attention if you want to get it.. So, in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th you get an average grade for each class. At the end of 8th, you get an average for the whole middle school. Now, that will mean 25% of a very important thing. The other 75% is a VERY hard exam that you take at the end of 8th (Math and Romanian only, but it's very hard). Now, that important thing is what high school you are getting into. Since there are only 2 good (If you can call them good, lmao, they're very bad) high schools there are very few spots, and the top ranking people get in. Problem is, lots of stupid people get those spots cause they have rich parents to bribe the teachers (they are corrupt) so they can get in. Now, my mother is going to force me to have another 10-16 hours of EXTRA CLASSES per week, so yeah, I'm more or less dead. Plus the mountain of homework and the extra stuff I'm forced to do. Problem is, they won't even help in life. They are TOTALLY useless. And it's not ME who's saying this...it was a study made by experts from Germany, Switzerland and Finland, and those are in the top countries when it comes to education so they know what they are saying...
Anyway, to sum this up, if you come here to complain about school, think about it. Your school is most probably heaven compared to this..and I haven't even said all that had to be said..
P.S.: If you read all of this, all I can say is...+39483948938493843 respect points. Answering those questions and giving me some tips on what I can do would be useful :) |
