To everyone who hates school:
It's okay to hate school: There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with hating school, there is nothing wrong with hating being forced to go someplace you don't want to, and being "taught" things you're not interested in, in ways that would kill you if boredom were lethal.
You're not worthless if you don't get good grades, and you're not mentally ill if the mere thought of school scares you.
In fact, you're probably more sane than kids who LIKE school.
Let's face it: school is boring. Being bored is hardly any way to learn anything! No wonder hardly anyone remembers what they were forced to memorize at school. School isn't important, it's a plain-and-simple waste of time...
...Unless the main purpose of schools is not to educate people, but to train them to become obedient little workers that never question the people in charge, no matter how downright stupid the rules are (there is a word for this, it's called Brainwashing)... Just a theory, don't take my word for it...
Don't trust school to 'educate' you - only you can be trusted with that!
This psychologist has a message for kids who hate school: I, as an adult and a psychologist, want to say to any children out there who hate school: you are not alone. Most people hate it too, but usually they don't feel entitled to say so, and many can't bear to think about it so they hardly even know how they feel. You are not mad ? you don't have a Deep Psychological Problem (though you might develop one if you stay in school against your will!); and you are not bad for wanting to live your life the way you choose, doing what you think right ? that is what everyone should be doing. You are not the problem: coercion is the problem. Being forced to go to school is the problem.
School gives learning a bad name.
