Does It Even Matter?
I'm just a bit peeved right now. This week, was a RECKONING week for my teacher (whatever that means) and I have like five things that I need to do or else I fail the whole sixth grade or something. After she told me everything I have to do, she called my mom while I was at my awesome acting class. So I come home and I'm completely drowned in homework, so I tell my mom that I need to stay home the next day to finish everything I had to do. So she says that my teacher called her and said that I was doing way to much. And in my head I'm kinda going No duh, but she meant it differently. She meant it as in while I'm doing two hours of homework every night, everyone else is doing fifteen friggin minutes. So I go well, that's 'cause I'm bad at math, but they naturally just assume that I'm talking double time in class. It's not completely true, but it's not completely a lie either. I talk a bit, but who doesn't? It's not like I'm not doing anything. I'm definitely doing more work than talking. So my mom says that my teacher wants a SCHEDGULE of when I'm gonna have my homework finished. So we look in my school agenda and I explain that each assignment I'm even almost finished or I didn't even know what it was or something. But the problem is that I have ACTUAL homework to do, so I can't do it at all. And what really peeves me off is that they do this to try to teach us something, but just because we didn't hand in the stupid assignment doesn't mean we didn't learn the thing. So what is even the point? And also, half the stuff we learn is all useless anyway. I mean really, at what point in the world, when I'm thirty years old, am I gonna have to write a comic strip to describe a book or whatever? When am I gonna go: Geez, I don't know this. Guess I'd better dig up my sixth grade homework. All mothers throw away the old work anyway, so what's even the point of doing it in the first place? It's a waste of paper, and they could just ASK us if we understand anyway, that's the entire point. Learning something. And if they're thinking, this will help you with your CAREER, I've got news for you. I am currently working on my career, simple as that. And it has nothing to do with the volume of a pentagon or whatever. WRITING shall be my career, so I don't even need to do this homework. I think they should get their priorities straight. Anyway, seeya!
