5 Reasons Why School Sucks
Tomorrow is the first day of school in my area, and today my two daughters are miserable. When I was a kid, the day before the first day of school was worse than the first day of school. For some reason, I couldn’t think of anything else that day except that school was coming and that it sucked.
As bad as school was, it rarely deserved the anxiety that it caused the day before it began. Even so, school still sucked back then, and according to my daughters (who are both reasonably successful at school), it still sucks now.

If you’re a student and you think school sucks, you’re not alone. There’s a certain point where all kids start to hate school. Most kids like school during their early elementary years, but something happens around 4th or 5th grade. Kids start being aware of other things around them.

Learning should be fun and exciting….. education should cater to the needs of the learners such as their multiple intelligences and learning styles…. and that is the big challenge to all in the academe world…
I am no longer in school but I feel 3 months for summer is a lot. I don’t know if it would be better to change that or not. Maybe that would make the first day of school suck less.
DAMN RIGHT. Dude, I’m writing a blog bout being a freshman. It’s painful.
Funny thing is though, is that you don’t learn when you’re bored. Humans actually have a strong urge to learn but when you’re being forced, it’s like your brain rebels and shuts off. I was taken out of school because the environment was too toxic. I know I’m bucking the norm, but I want to learn, so I’m taking the alternate route to achieve it.
