activity

My mom comes busting in my room telling me that I need to be involved in school activities. Why in the world would I want to do something like that, I already spend too much time at that place around the same people and the same teachers. She said it can be a sport, a club even an organization. I begged and pleaded with her and even refused to be in any part of any of that. Then the tables turned as soon as she said school activity or you get a job at the farm. “But mom I can’t do the work required on the farm!” and her only response was “looks like you’re going to spending more time at school then.” Its torture, torture I tell you. What is her reasoning for this getting more involved crap, I just don’t understand her sometimes. So I go to school to look for something I can do to get my mom off my back. There, I found one that seems to work for me, C.E.C will do. This is the Council for Exceptional Children’s club. Something I have always wanted to do it work with special needs children, I’m starting to think I might actually like this and maybe, just maybe mom might be right. And wow what an experience it has turned out to be already, trust me I will be going back to this next year. It gives you the satisfaction of helping others, and it’s fun and entertaining. Some of my best times this year have been helping out with the students there, making new friends and everything. Yeah, so maybe mom was right in the end, it would be good for me to do an activity at school.

Ughh, some teacher, some rules, some changes. It’s all so stressful and a lot of the time unnecessary. We will start off with the teachers, let’s see some of them are just plain rude, and power hungry. They want respect with no questions or explanations from you. It just amazes me that they think they should receive that respect when they show none to anyone else, that’s not how it work, you give respect you get respect. Just like teachers always say “I don’t give out grades, you earn them,” well here is mine, you should get respect without earning it either if you treat people ugly don’t expect people to like or even respect you. Yes they do have authority but sometimes I feel like that is the only reason they took a teaching job, to feel like they have power over other people, that shouldn’t be the case. Teachers should actually want to help rather than dictate. Rules I understand are necessary, some of them, but I thought school was to prepare you, how are we getting prepared when we can’t even make our own decisions because principles, teachers, and the school board are already making them for us. Some changes, honestly aren’t needed, book bags? Seriously, not hurting anyone so why take them away after my parents have taken out of their paycheck to get them for me. School schedule, why does it matter how many classes we have compared to the other schools as long as the classes are taken sometime. Schools not so bad, just some things about it are.
