Teachers vs. Video Games and Kids

All teachers have the same goal in mind. To help us learn grow, and find ourselves in the world. What if I would you this:

Teachers don't challange us kids enough, they just wanna give us more work. And parents want their kids to be PICTURE PERFECT. (LOL I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE) And they are reviewing concepts I did in fifth grade. In 6th grade, we had these "Mad Minutes" where we had to solve 60 addtion facts like 1+2 in a minute. LOL that was really dumb. They could have been doing algebra or something like that, but NO. We do stuff that a first grader would find easy. Just take a few minutes to read through this. Ever see anything FUN that goes on in kids lives. NOPE. Just grades and work. Kids need a proper balance of challanges and fun, which we don't get. Tell me what you all think:

Teachers only care about the "dumb kids." And the smart kids (Like myself, a few friends, not trying to brag) are practically shoved aside.

Science teacher is " teaching" us graphs. Not like we haven't done them (or I did) in 1st grade.

Really.

Yeah, people need time to enjoy themselves, too much stress, I don't care if I'm getting 100% on all grades, I could if I tried more, but I came to enjoy myself, not stress myself. Why live if you just study? Never have fun?

You need to learn, but you also must have fun, or that will be your downfall. I hate people who are so SERIOUS and are try yards at everything. Life is just a game. I play super smash mobs in minecraft. I'm good without trying, unlike most other mini games, and I make many rage, I don't want to, I'm just playing for the fun of it.

IKR sooooo annoying. I finally got my first hackusiation in SSM, and it wasn't pretty. He kept saying that I was the worst hacker ever, and yeah, he was dead himself, so yeah... What the heck.... 
(There is this kid in my math class, he calls the teacher "Sir" and he hates everything fun (Video games, pizza, ice-cream, you name it). If he won student council (THANKFULY HE DID NOT), the Halloween Dance (Which is NOT mushy) would become a Math Test. And one day he wore at TIE to class and I was like What the heck.... DUDE. Seriously....

We have "Teams" at our school A B C D, which basically spilits kids up. EX: If you were on 6A you wouldn't have any of the same classes as someone on 6B (Well, maybe World Launguage and Gym and something like Art, Music, but that is it. 6 stands for 6th grade, and 7 stands for 7th grade... etc)

Oh we have teams for grade levels in our school, sixth grade teams are marlin barracuda and piranha.

7nth grade is Rockies Everest and Kilimanjaro,

8th grade is celebr8, innov8, and I think immagin8?

Each team has a different combination of honours and language arts, and the next grade up is another name for it..
