Warning: Strong and Maybe Misinformed Opinions

School makes me very angry. I know a lot of teenagers hate it, but I have serious reasons. I don't like to be forced to learn things; I'd rather research stuff that I'm interested in and learn that way. Weird, kooky topics are very fascinating to me, not how to find imaginary numbers or boring, useless things like that. I'd love to learn about women's rights, how strange traditions came about, and lots more about music. Yet, there's not that much about that kind of stuff in my history lessons. Most of the lessons are topics that I could google to learn about. It really ticks me off that I still have to memorize facts I could easily find out from the internet. Now this I've been able to handle so far, but there's something else that makes me really ticked. It takes up my time. Time is very precious. I could be using it to write songs or stories, work on my drawing, learn from wonderful TV shows like Doctor Who, or even just taking a walk. I said in an earlier blog post that I'd like to start exercising more, but it's going to be very hard since I have to get all my school done as well. I really don't like the way society is set up at all. Our teenage years could be used to explore subjects that interest us, and experience hands-on learning. Schools are so cruel and cold, but even when you're home-schooled, the school setup is still imposing on you. It's like testing your memory is the most important thing, and if you don't have a great memory, then you're not that smart. It's idiotic to me, really. I guess I'll never understand this stuff, but I sure won't stop being upset about it. (Sorry if my opinions were offensive)
