School Rules! Life Rules!

School is an institution, which brings up and teaches our future generations- they learn how to survive in one small community which identifies itself with this "building". What is more logical conclusion than that this "tower" is the prison, in which our society and even we is locking us. That is because we let ourselves and accept everything said to be true. A prison, because they force us and they teach us since we were little not how to survive in a world full of malice and mediocrity, but how to survive associating with them, the bad, empty, immoral, disloyal. And they do that with many different means, they trip you up on your way to your dreams, stand in your way, torture you, vanish you...and for what? Why... well, because mediocrity does not bear the one who are different and those who are progressive, those who are perspective... she hates them... crushes them until they decide to give up, until they die... What I did learn in high school was how some get away with it, if they have a certain behavior ,and how others do not, because they do not have that behavior, they do not accept it, they want to accomplish something of their own, their dream, but there is no room for dreams in the world of society. Everybody wants to trip you up, to crash you down... and why... because they do not want you to accomplish that perhaps they are not. What leads them is malice and insidiousness. They make things look like they can not be reached, and which are a matter of choice, which everyone can do. And why do we call ourselves a civilization when our own system stops children to develop as they want to... now they even do not dream, they do not dear, because if they do they are doomed to eternal suffering, because it is difficult to be alone against the whole world. And again I do understand why if someone wants to accomplish something nobody helps him, but they try to crash him down. And why this exact decision does not depend only on him but other people should intrude into it, and why should it depend on their judgment for its "fitness".

For example our highly respected teachers - how so the future of a child should depend on somebody's judgment - of a stranger, of a duffer and unqualified in the field in which it is believed they are qualified-to be a teacher. I say unqualified not because he is not up to his work and his subject, which he teaches, but because he can not decide who really deserves and who do not. How long should I live in this world, in which incompetence, mediocrity and ignorance are encouraged. What does it mean you to know and to be able, but to be not only treated with disrespect and to be unestimated because of that, but also rejected and ruined. What does it mean I to show knowledge and efforts to learn something and the person in front of me to say "oh, I did not hear, I am sorry" or "oh, but the grade is average -next year you may have more". How a teacher should be interested whether you had learned or had interest in his subject when in this single moment I understand that the same "teacher" was interested only in applying his authority, which was given to him. And as another proof of what I am saying is that during that same day, the same class in which to me was said "well darling as much you have this is it" with a smile. To another of my classmates was given the expected grade for lack of knowledge during examination, he also demonstrated lack of respect with the fact that while he was examined he went out of the room to answer his phone. I will not mention names... they know who they are. But my sense for justice does not allow me to remain silent and to let somebody ruin my dream. I do not judge my classmate, because he has his reasons to do that, I judge the teacher that he does not remain unprejudiced towards his way of evaluation or in some cases the lack of it. I am hurt and shocked but I will keep on doing everything in my power to reach my dream, which God I my witness is burning me up inside, but how I will not be hurt when so easily and with malice in the heart an ignoramus destroys my dream. And the guilt that society bears is even bigger - that it let this happen.

Our highly respected teachers should not want us to really respect them when they accustom us to that. They teach us only in malice and fawning. This is the way some things stand in our country, a country of malicious people (I just can not stand them), I just can not bear it anymore... I want air... I want to accomplish my dream... but when nobody is in my way. God, do something good!!!

Of course I would like to add that as every rule this one also has its exceptions and I am truly grateful to the teachers, who know why they are those people!!!
