The School System MAKES NO SENSE... the school system makes no sense. the high school system has many weird things and rules about it and there are many rant videos about school and this one is about the school system
The best way to learn from your mistakes is to good for yourself, not to be perfect because everyone makes mistakes and it is okay. Not to have a perfect life all the time.
But yet also don't punish enough I graduated high school, and didn't do ANYTHING all 4 years. Passed tests through barely paying attention in class. I'd be told all the time that there would be consequences for not doing any work and yet my MOM would typically do the punishing which did NOT help my mental health. But that's cause she HAD to since the schools did literally nothing in response. If schools did any kind of effective punishment (who knows what that even looks like though) then maybe we'd see some improvements But what does a good, productive punishment really entail? How does that look on a student to student basis? Idk man
What I don't understand is how schools punish us for looking questions up on the internet, but encourage us to copy shit directly from the textbook; it's essentially the same thing. For some reason they would rather us regurgitate information from the textbook that we don't actually understand than look something up, learn more about it, and rephrase the answer you find it's extremely counterproductive
My teachers just gives us packets and we have to copy the notes off a website but if we copy our friends notes they get mad at us for cheating. I mean what’s the difference between copying off of the internet or my friends it makes zero sense
@@cardboard9124ooh, how about TEACHING the kids to figure out which ones are credible and which ones aren’t instead of thinking with only half a brain?
Another thing that wasn't mentioned was how much of it was based on being social, at least 50% of school has you working in a group, raising your hand for 5 hours while everyone stares into your soul, or calling out answers.
On the topic of being social, how abt that damn social hierarchy that exists for no good reason bc school popularity wont matter the moment u graduate?
@@CATONWATERMELON2 Sure that happens, that's how life is sometimes, some people are just dicks, but developing social skills and not giving a shit about what somebody thinks about you is really good
Homework was actually invented as a PUNISHMENT for students who misbehaved in class by an Italian immigrant who was a teacher in California around 1900. Then other teachers were like, “oh yeah, that punishment? That’s great, imma give that to everyone.”
homework shouldn't be given to everyone just because ONE kid got us all in trouble. If that's your only punishment, at least get the school to get something that makes you study during lunch instead of being with your friends. Plus it would be double positive because some kids could put themselves in if they want a quiet room.
"Hey guys! Look at this reasonable at home punishment! This is very easy to enforce, and won't force us to take extra time for detention!" "Everyone gets it" "Wait, no, that isn't reasonable, just because we suck at our jobs doesn't mean we can torture kids with this, sto-" "Everyone. Gets. It. No. Choices. Cry. LOL."
I honestly learned more on the internet then I did in school. But honestly what makes a big difference is good teachers. I've always had nice teachers who weren't afraid to help me. I was quite into drawing in elementary, and in 3rd grade there was this one ruler I always liked to use while drawing. At the end of the school year my teacher let me take it home. I still have it today.
It was. This system was established during the industrial revolution where the majority of people ended up doing physical labor in mines and factories. It IS designed to produce obedient robot workers. Thats not even a conspiracy, its literally the sole purpose of the system. And it worked great back then, but for some reason we’re still using it now.
Been arguing this (to myself) ever since I left school for college. Then dropped out thanks to the pandemic and been unable to recover from the anxiety. The school system is directly set up to completely ruin the wellbeing towards students. Not to mention the bullying side of things. Should say something when places like RU-vid can teach so much more than what school could ever dare teach. The grading system even...They keep changing it! Not to mention the pressure to just get a C grade. Or Grade 4 (no reason it should've been changed so much!) just to "pass." Remember it changing 3 times when in the final year of school. If memory serves: not a single person in that very year passed. Not to mention the difficulty of each exam being ridiculous!
How to pay taxes, how to vote, how to finance, financial literacy; these would all be great subjects in school but school is to create compliant corporate robots with no free thinking
Pretty sure youre taught this once you enter the streams. Im a science stream though, so I wouldnt know. Life skills or just basic accounting should be mandatory though, I feel like its an essential skill you must know to manage ur own finances or else youd have to go with the flow or hire a financial advisor.
@@iamliber8583I learned most of English by talking to other people, listening to how they respond, and reading books, once I learned how to read. (I'm not sure when I learned to read, or if I learned it from school, but I probably learned it when we went over phonics in first grade. I never went to kindergarten because my grandma didn't want me to for some reason) I did make friends in school, but I mostly got isolated and pushed away because I was different from just about everyone else and it left a lasting impact on me. I just realized fairly recently that that experience created trauma for me, and that I was also bullied. I'm not sure why it only recently clicked, though, maybe it was some kind of defense mechanism or something. Also, I don't buy into the idea that you can't criticize an imperfect system just because it did/does _some_ things right. If everyone went off that logic, nothing would ever get done, and nothing would improve. If there's room for improvement, there should be improvement.
@@iamliber8583Tell me, where did you learn how to file taxes? Not in school. Tell me, where did you learn how to cook? Not in school. Maybe you should grow up.
the worse part about school for me was dealing with other kids especially with group projects. I don't like working with other people I prefer to fly solo. having to work with other people is just another way to potentially screw me over
It depends cause if you get the option to work with people you know then you should but i can absolutely understand not wanting to work with random people
@@Internazionale2010you should be open to getting comfortable with working and talking to your classmates. it's fine to be a little shy but if you just hate talking to people cause its uncomfortable its gonna be hard to get what you want
@@reeseon10for me personally, It's not really something that I avoid because it's uncomfortable, it's just that people either always talk over me, and never take my suggestions, or no one knows how/ doesn't want to do the work, so I end up doing everything. It's just a waste of time. I don't get a long with most people well enough, and I'm more thorough with my work than most people. If the teacher wants me to work with other people, it would be best to just pair me with ONE other person that I don't know, instead of three or four.
We all though school was a good place back in elementary school but as we got older we were starting to realise that school is a place full of mental suffering that you have to go to to "succeed" in life.
Every time I'm confused about something I'm too scared to ask the teachers, because they'll always say things like, "You should listened so you could follow the directions." which discourages the student and harms their grades. If I can't have a good grade on a difficult assignment because I don't feel safe even asking my teacher a clarifying question, that goes completely against the education system. When you learn, you're supposed to feel encouraged to clarify things with your teachers, and ask if you can do X or if I was suppose to do Y or print Z. I know this isn't all teachers but this is something that gets on my nerves, so I'm venting here about it.
It is the harsh pain and anger that most students have to endure,brother,don't let those bastards control what you find important and unimportant in life,it's you who decides what you want to do and not them.
True it's so infuriating when the teachers say "you should've payed attention " when we ask to clarify the subject we are learning on . Some teachers make many students fail because they are too lazy to actually teach and all they do is show us a video or slides and give us the paper or assignments without being engaged with the students.
exactly! Teachers don't understand that asking a question doesn't mean you didn't pay attention. Asking questions help, especially if you're absent. Thank you for your opinion, this was the most relatable comment by far 👍
In university I had someone whose grading system was so specific it literally included ½% mark for using the teacher's specified margin width on a paper.
I had a teacher who didn’t do the bare minimum of actually teaching us the information. Instead, she’d just be like, “Read this chapter in your history book.” or, “Copy these notes from the board.” and everyone would have to sit in silence the whole time.
Thats pretty much my bio and the notes dont even help on any test or quiz and all we do is pretty much take notes or do a lab which is once in 3 quintillion damn years
I made the same comment about recorders and I had a few people mention that they're a relatively cheap way for some kids to find a love for music. If it makes music more accessible and opens a kids eyes to the possibility that other instruments could have then it's incredibly powerful
With learning how to fix stuff in the house, this summer it was sure a good thing I taught myself the basics in plumbing or else my kitchen would’ve been a huge flooded mess after the kitchen faucet decided to explode inside the cabinet
The school system is very outdates. We need more and better things to teach kids, and better ways for them to learn and retain information, not just pushing out robots meant to be mindless, creative-less work zombies.
The fact that for skipping school you get punished by having no school is the wierdest rule ever Edit: School is hardly teaching me anything i want to know. I want to do graphic design and video editing as a job when I'm older and I ain't learning any of that at school. I have to spend most my time learning and making videos at home
One of my english teachers would always create the quizzes for the assigned reading based on the information that sparknotes doesn't cover. Another english teacher of mine accused me of using ai to write a story for me, which ended with me being required to write a new one with only a few days left in the trimester, getting 2 detentions (I had never gotten one before), and getting removed from national honor society. And when I tried to appeal it, it was a unanimous decision against me.
@LucasBowman-lz6rq English is just especially infuriating though, nothing new, just more work until any passion for writing has been put through a damn partical collider
When i was in 7th grade I had this teacher Mrs zoot. She always was happy and that made us happy. She was very passionate about her job as a reading teacher and she actually helped me get better at reading. No one ever was unhappy in her class. She would hand out candy if u completed your work which made her class 10x better. She is definitely #1 on my best teacher list fs
One time my home said "Real world problems!" as an attempt to sayvthere useful, but the questions where the most useless stuff! Why would I want to find out the volume of a laundry detergent box, the box is not the detergent! They even made it like they taught you stuff that would not happen in life! Why would I find the area of a finished room, they already built it!
I was told that every high school had a curriculum that they choose classes and subjects from, i asked my guidance counselor /sister in law about it and she said, “what fucking curriculum?” 😭😭😭
Back in July when I had my final English exam, I was SO unprepared that it was scary to be in my position. Luckily I came up with a genius strategy to be able to use chat GPT during the exam. So during the exam, I think heavily on how I'm gonna write paragraphs to a question (like "Explain how love is presented in act 1 scene 4 or romeo and juliet") So I ask for a bathroom break and hide in the toilets and quickly retain as much info as possible quickly. For Japanese it's the hardest. Occasionally, my teacher leaves the room, so I quickly use this feature on my phone where I take a photo of the japanese test and translate it into English, and copy down what I think is right. The adrenaline I get is very high and I beg you don't have to do what I do
The city I live in (and the surrounding ones as well) implemented a rule where every school is legally required to start at 8:30 ...which is only 30 minutes later and considering my school is a 30 minute drive away, doesn't change the fact that I gotta wake up at 6:50am And because of that, I'm really tired all the time, and my vision is impaired when I'm tired so I can't see half the shit that's being taught

When there is a Vocaloid song about how bad the school systems are and the life every student is expected to live. That’s just how you know the school system is actually that bad
When I heard my school had a cooking class I was like; “FINALLY A USEFUL ARTS CLASS”. In my school you have art classes, some useless ones are music, guided experience, and computers. Music is music, guided ex is like random career choices no one sticks with, and computers teaches us how to do stuff every 13 year old obviously would know. then there is tech ed and FCS, tech ed is work working amd FCS is cooking class basically.
We had recorder lessons during elementary school music class. At that same age, I took private piano lessons at home. Guess which one I actually use to entertain guests.
I hate school’s grading system. Like, in my school, teachers grade work on accuracy. So like, I would be getting a 65 even if I completed the assignment. I was trynna get my GPA up but it’s going up and down like a damn roller coaster.
So true! My 8th grade language arts and social studies teacher grades my papers like she’s in college! What kind of grading is that?! I’m like “You’re not it college, woman!”. 💀
I know this will come as a shock to everyone but the Pythagorean theorem is actually useful outside of school but only if you're doing something that requires math like construction, i have to use it sometimes to figure out how long something needs to be As for trigonometry that stuff is useless unless you're doing a physics job
The thing is you bring up very valid points. Such as school not teaching very important things that everyone will use at least once. And the school system is obviously at fault for many other things too, but the actual knowledge that you learn from school is invaluable to people who want to succeed in certain career paths. Lots of people tend to say that school teaches you things you will never need to use, but in reality some higher paying technical jobs do require you to know lots of those seemingly random facts to be done correctly. If you want to get involved with mechanical engineering or architecture there is lots of difficult math and stuff like trigonometry and graphs. It really matters what you want to do with your knowledge which is why I perfectly understand why it’s not for everyone, but I wish more people would realize that the knowledge school teaches you isn’t useless it just has to be applied properly to real world situations in order to make sense and that’s where a college education comes in.
0:30 - Waking up that early especially when it’s winter & still dark out till 7am sucks making me feel even more tired . I only get 5 - 6 Hrs Of Sleep It sucks
My math teacher doesn't teach us shit she just tells us how to do what ever we are learning and then gives us weeks of work without going over it again and then gives us like five tests a month. So many people in my class have 40s and 50s and the teacher says it their fault. If we need anything we have to come after school just so we can get a 50 on the test.
Im in high school right know and I have a class where the teachers like "Oh, busy work sucks, you guys shouldn't have it at all" and then like 99.9% of the class is useless busy work, even though she doesn't agree with it. I've lost all faith in humanity at this point
1:01 THAT SHIT IS SO RELATABLE 💀💀💀 In my old high school, I woke up at 5:30 EVERY DAMN DAY, got to school at 7, and classes started at 7:30. And of course my ass had chorus class first thing in the morning. I did not feel like singing most of the time. When I got home I did what any reasonable person would do: take a nap.
1:53 is so literally me. If I have to make my own meal, my only choice is eggs because that’s the only thing I can cook. I want to learn to cook more meals, but I don’t trust myself to not start a fire and/or get 2nd-degree burns.
Honestly I just usually eat cereal, I don't even bother with cooking stuff 💀 Hell, during most of highschool I never ate breakfast because it would waste time getting ready 😭
The grading I hate the most is when they grade you on your fuckin notes. Like, they are MY notes why the hell do I have to do them how YOU want them to be done??? That literally makes it harder for me
They did that in my school as well, what I hate even more is when you have like 4 hours worth of homework and the teacher says “oh I’m not grading it” then WHY THE FUCK DID I WASTE 4 HOURS OF MY LIFE DOING THAT USELESS SHIT? HUH. And they wonder why everyone is so unconscious, it’s because they give the fucking TERMS AND CONDITIONS as homework
5:47 the reason why you gotta raise your hand bc there are mfs out there wasting their time skipping class, making it harder for teachers to trust students, so thanks those assholes.
I remember my IB program days in HS with multiple hours of homework every day. We even had a "theory of knowledge" class that made no sense, even to this day. It did prepare me well for the work required in college classes for an astronomy/physics degree though.
So I am currently studying to get a stem degree so I do actually see why things like trig exists because a lot of my math classes that I have had to take needed that stuff as a foundation. Having said that this is where I think what boyinaband said about introducing but not forcing is good. Because most people won’t need that shit and students like me who are trying to get a stem degree a lot of us probably would have kept those classes because we find them interesting
2:16 as a carpenter to find the angles in stairs we need the pythagorean theorem. so trigonometry does come in handy, it just depends on how you use it. love the vids man keep up the good work. u deserve more subs that mrbeast and t series combined.
I graduated with high honors and 4 gold stars on my patch...I didn't learn a damn thing. Every test was just me memorizing the information for that day.
this is sad. students prioritizing high grades over actual learning bc everything is determined by numbers or letters + pressure from parents to get good grades
We just had state testing today and when I had to write an entire essay the explanation was “nature family explain” after I saw that i know I failed that test
One of my teachers was really good at teaching and I was able to actually learn the subject material. However, most of the class did not especially because the class was so “easy” that they were on their phones all day. Here’s the thing, one of the other teachers that taught the same class, taught in such a way I couldn’t understand the subject material. That class was more engaged. I don’t get it. It’s like one teacher actually liked to be there making what he taught easy to learn even if it was a snooze fest, while the other teacher was the opposite.
idk if its like this all around Canada but in my high school we had cooking classes, mechanic/autobody classes, metalwork, and woodwork classes, it also started at 8:40
Ayo Scandinavia got it different. Bro has like 5 hour school time, no detention(I think) , and they focus on collaboration, unlike us where we focus on competition.
As a French person I can tell, our school system sucks too. Like we start at 8am and end at 6pm, and we still have homework we don’t even get grades off or we can get expelled. Like I remember in was 12 and after all those hours of school I still had 3h of homework that wouldn’t get grade, WTFFFFF ! Also, I was supposed to be in a private school with good quality teacher but one of my teacher was always drunk and even came in class with orange juice and wine…. LIKE IT WAS 9AM MAM I WANNA SLEEP IM 11 . Nah fr I could talk about those stupid things all day…. good luck my fellow student 😑
Let’s also not forget to mention for English class. You were required to write or type the paper with times new Roman, and have double spacing with size 12 font, like why can’t we just write an essay in the font we want to use
Now personally, as someone from Belgium (Europe) I see we learn a lot of the same things, like in maths, but the approach is very different. Here I’m in a Catholic school, and every class is standardised. We get held on a very high level for this stuff, but I see it as a good thing. They don’t completely tank your creativity (but it still does a little). Things like ChatGPT aren’t completely banned, more of a useful tool, and the times are significantly better. In my school, everyone has to be there from 8:30 for the start, then 2 lesson blocks of 50 minutes, after that a break for 10 minutes (recently lowered to allow us in later, and out earlier), then another 2 blocks of 50 minutes. Then lunch break from 12:05 to 13:05 (5th and 6th year can leave the school and eat around town then, if your parents agreed, and/or if you’re 18 years old). Finally 2 more blocks, another 10 min break, one last block and then you get to leave school at 15:45. Not too bad compared to your gruelling schedule in the USA I see.
I remember holding my breath while opening up my report card for high school. I thought I failed most of my classes, but thankfully I got out of it with straight A’s
Combined with homework for no reason, incompetent school rules, and the idea that a RU-vid video better does much better educating you than your entire school career just showed this system is broken and flawed
@@Pretentiouslizard yeah I swear they be only getting 5 hours, little to no homework, and the best education ever, meanwhile we have 7 hours, a shit ton of homework, and the education isn’t even that good like come on, especially when your in college and your still getting shit education, AND YOUR PAYING FOR THAT SHIT TOO. If anything, most people in college are in debt because college is so fucking expensive
@thepcuser5469 in ireland some middle school level grades only have 5 hours and secondary has 6-6.5 and Wednesdays for slot of schools is only 4 hours
Photomath also shows the steps bro, real goat. I actually passed a test because on the homework I wrote down the steps it showed, and I just remembered that. W Photomath
6:27 in my school teachers allow if you are hungry you can eat in the start of the start of the class, because the know that we are going to focus in there class on full tummy.
