I was wrong about school being all so bad.

It’s been a few months since I made my statements about school being so bad, and in that few months, I’ve started to appreciate having school.

What changed my perspective of school? People. I love my teachers, especially my ela/science teacher and social studies teacher. I’ve gotten interested about history. The assassination of Tut, Caesar, and how Vikings really were. They’re all interesting to me. I like how my social studies teacher describes it, because I think if I were any younger, I would be bored if my teacher just forced me to read it without talking about it. I actually enjoy taking tests on social studies, and mind you, I don’t like taking tests since I dread the scores when I finish too fast.

There’s also my friends; they’re wonderful. The tomfoolery and low quality jokes are enjoyable. They’re all wonderful. I feel pity for you if you don’t have many friends, since they can improve your social skills and keep you from having a bad mental health. I know I said something about how school was destroying my mental health, but that was just 5th grade. Teachers in my old elementary school were just not it. I’m in a different school system from my elementary, and from what I’ve heard from my local middle school, the teachers suck there.

Sooo yeah, I was just being harsh on school. With the right perspective and conditions, school can be enjoyable and will be a breeze. Maybe you haven’t quite gotten the perspective and conditions, and that’s why school seems to ‘suck’. Mind you, school actually does teach you. It’s YOUR fault (most of the times, if your teacher is actually helping and teaching) if you get bad grades and wound up having a bad record, constantly getting detention and punishments. Besides, you always want to see your friends in school, right? So that means school isn’t all entirely horrible. (It usually the guidance counselor that’s the biggest problem, screw you elementary guidance counselor, you made me feel beyond unsafe in school and why I didn’t like 5th grade 😊)

And school can help you with being productive, meet deadlines, and all those life skills.

TLDR: With right intentions and having good people around you, school can be great.
