@@RevingTanks The main problem with school system is: it is masons given for their need of slaves.
I have never cared about grades, as i seen it clearly how out of logic are these given. Schools ain`t real use and grades are made ups, a fear propaganda, to keep students under control. And true, no thinking, student who dare to think, be aware ridiculous problems heading towards you.
School systems = masonic agenda to dumb down mankind. Sadly, they have succeeded, but each of us have a chance to turn it all around: BIBLE.
Without the BIBLE and the understanding of it, real life stays unseen, unknown.
Ask for truth and allow BIBLE to shine.
The only need for school is; basic knowledge:
- reading
- writing
- math
- BIBLE
After this, no need for further “schooling”.
"Oh you have good grades! That means that you're smart!"
yup. Almost every humans thought
Everyone thinks I'm smart 'cause I'm good at math, but this new school makes me hate math more than ever.
God I learned how to use strategy because of my mom. She even tells me to be friends with the smart people
バムバム all parents say that
"No because I cheated on the test"
I learned 2 things from school.
1. How to get stressed easily
2. How to hold a fart in for 8 hours
Thanks for the laugh
Ohhhhhhhh shit
all i learned was mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
I now have the ability to hold pee or shit for an extended amount of time. I basically turn off my bladder when I'm at school & walking home.
@@jakobtrahey846 Doesent everybody learn how to do that at school?

Grades don't help students learn, because they don't care for the process of how they got the score they got: they just care for the fact that they got a score that unsatisfies them and will unsatisfy their parents. If we get rid of grades (bit by bit, because obviously such a change would be hard to do automatically), then we get rid of the care for only the result and instead care for what itty places within our work would require the improvement so that next time it's better.
I agree with Luz

"Some kids even lose their desire to learn" me in a nutshell
Its extremely hard to cling on to the desire to learn when teachers and parents constantly put you down for your grades.
@awoawok lover Getting caught: You better not let me happen.

That really explains why my motivation to learn instantly stopped as soon as school started 😭 😭

Showed this to my mom. I got a smack on the head and an hour of lecture, dude.
Seriously?
Ugh. I can see that happenning with me, but I don't show these things to my parents. Sometimes I show my mom some random memes I found on Reddit that are slightly offensive and end up with a half an hour lecture, added onto by more stress about school work and then more at 10 at night. It's a cycle and it's freaking annoying.

@@Isabel-sr8ep yes minecraft is very educational
I met someone back in highschool who was very academically inconsistent, he had failing grades on a semester and sometimes tops the class on another; everyone in the batch knew he was brilliant. He was the type of student (or maybe the only one) who doesn't give a fuck about deadlines, one time he passed a project 2 weeks after the due and the teacher absolutely scolded him then gave him a failing grade (of course), but what he learns in classーstays with himーthen proceeded to ace every exam later without reviewing. Up to this point the most badass student I've seen, since then, my perspective of grades was never the same.
thats honestly sick as hell
Absolute fucking chad

Ultra big brained
Dude same my grades are inconsistent as heck sometimes i would get a 3/15 in a quiz and sometimes actually get 55/60 in an exam😂😂 and also half of my report card is over 90 and at least 1 is like 79 or some sh (passing is 75) and also i start working on my assignments at deadlines😂😂😂
The cycle of Exam Taking.
1. Study for Exam.
2. Write the Exam.
3. Forget the entire exam.
4. Repeat.
I can't relate more!!! If you asked me to recite anything from a recent test, there would be absolutely no way I could tell you what I learned. Mostly because I didn't learn anything, I just crammed random information in my head that made no sense so I could do well on a test.😂😔
Yes, you're so right.
It’s educational bulimia
@@michi2819 That is an accurate representation of a test. The problem of our modern education is that students don't strive to learn but only strive to get a good mark. With class rank, we students are judged by testing and memorizing, not who we are. The education system can still teach us this content, but it shouldn't make us memorize what we learn just for a test. Grades are the sole reason why school happens to be more stressful.
Holy Frick. Too relatable

Yeah school stopped being fun after 3rd grade...
@FBI • Federal Bureau of Investigation *Are Fun.
School isn't meant to be fun! It's meant to be a preparation for college or vocational training so one can become a good professional. Yeah, fun is good, but if you have too many fun you forget about your responsibilities.
@@lapaula_fj_ What's the point when you forget most of the sh*t you learn tho? You can say it's because you don't study but at the end of the day that's not true. Plenty people study and that doesn't stop them from forgetting things over breaks. Yeah school isn't meant to be fun no one is saying it is. But if my grades determine my self worth, I would rather they fix the school system. You don't need these things to be a good professional. If school is supposed to and help all these things. How could the outcome is always different? Oh it's because the school system is sh*t and they need to fix it. What responsiblieis? Memorizing things but not actually learning. lmao wow yeah that will definitely parpare me for in succes in life.
Highschool is where the depression kicks in
@@aliyalove4518 You're messed up, kid. I used to think as you did, but eventually I found out that the ones who say this *are the ones with more Cs, Ds and Fs (6/10 or lower in the Spanish education system).* Also, schools have different types. There is compulsory education, which helps build a foundation so then you can specialise. There are trade schools and vocational schools, which teach less academic professional pathways, and then there are universities, which teach high-level academic contents for those who want to enter complex pofessions.
Also, using your brain to memorise actually enhances your neuronal pathways and makes you stronger, less susceptible of developing dementia conditions.
Third and last: stop saying the school system is (the bad word you said, missy) because this is called "projection", you're projecting how you see yourself into the "FlaWS ThaT SkoOl hAs cUz iT SuxX" and this isn't a healthy mindset. Just work hard, you'll see that higher education will actually teach you skills that you need to have for the profession you choose (from the way you write, it can be attributed to a middle-to-high schooler, someone who hasn't completed compulsory ed yet). As the ancient Romans said, valete!

Dear school,
I have to thank you very much for the things you've done for me. Not only have you killed my creativity and given me low self esteem, but you gave me what could border on depression and all in all bad mental health.
You've taught me nothing despite it being your job. The internet did a better job at that.
Yours truly,
A student with straight As.
Mom, I'm famous
Well that’s probably true for a lot of people
@@andrewfeng4610 Yup. Schools are there to make obedient workers
School has only turned me into a misanthropist. I benefited nothing else from it.
And i have borderline personality disoder cause of school, added to that school never taught me how to talk to people(as example how to even get the courage to start talking to a stranger), how to stand up to bullies, how to get a job, gsve me social anxiety and, according to my therapist, made me just about to get depressed. So yeah, thanks school lmao
School feels like an awful addiction at this point. I toil away for so long to get my monthly fix of A’s, yet I no longer feel the same sensation of happiness or satisfaction that I used to.
I feel like we're gonna see videos and articles just like this one... Over and over... For the next several decades. And meanwhile, the school system will continue to be just as shitty as it always has been. Nothing ever changes.
That's why you go to an online school and move at your own pace with no extra homework needed
Because no one has any idea how to measure if someone has already understand the topic
Thanks Taran! Gooooooo Canada
Taran Van Hemert yeah that’s the problem with our school. We’re so committed it’s almost impossible to change anything
I get it. Because the government is too lazy to change the school system.
My teacher told me a story one time.
She had a valedictorian student that had straight A's in her class (due to excellent memory) but in the future, ended up becoming a clerk. The person that enjoyed learning (more hands-on approach) became a businessman abroad and is on the brink of becoming a millionaire.
This goes to show that while having good grades may open up many opportunities in life, it is not a basis for how your life will become in the future. Memorization may be important to retain information, but the application of topics you learn in school is better.

I used to love school, because I liked learning. But when I started to get the feeling that actually learning didn’t matter to anyone as much as doing what you’re told when you’re told exactly how to do it, I started to hate it. It doesn’t take a genius to get good grades. Its just getting you used to following orders for the rest of your life. I went from “honor roll” to 70s and 80s. The only thing about me that changed was whether or not I was doing the work they gave me.
By the time my seventh-grade year rolled around, I nearly gave up my love for reading and creative writing. They shove down useless and boring facts down your throat and your intelligence is defined based on what you remember.
It sounds like you are talking about the Turkish grade system. And if you are- i feel you 😂. At least Americans are aware that the system is bad. Turkish parents and teachers don’t even realize and force their kids to finish 500 questions from every subject EVERY. SINGLE. DAY
Same. I used to love learning, still do. I have this bizarre obsession with learning something new, asking questions and being curious. I have always been a bright student not because I studied for exams but due to the fact that I enjoyed the process. But some way or the other, now I have fallen into this pothole of getting good grades. Getting good grades WHATSOEVER, every single time! Everyone around me is "learning" for grades! Everyone is wondering what question is gonna be there on the test! And I don't like it. I have been kind of accustomed to believe that grades are everything and that you have to do whatever you can to make that happen. Is it even "learning"? Since the time, I realised that nobody really cares about knowledge that much, I too somewhat started to run after grades and I started to hate it! I have realised that I don't challenge myself, that I am probably not so creative anymore and yes, that my grades are worse now. That curious me is hidden somewhere within but it's still there. I sometimes want to be what I was, without getting influenced by what everybody else is doing.
The G In Genesis I love learning different languages and things at home, but for example the second I go into Spanish class it like “okay time for another test. Here are 35 questions please chose A. B. C. or D. for you answer” and I’m immediately bored 😐
Why is this so me? I use to be in Top 10, love math, get all subjects 87+ which I see is decent and good but now I just wanna die every time I have to change classes. I just want my grades to be 85+ at some point at the end of every quarter and screw every homework given to me even if it was from 2 classes I like. I started to feel hopeless at home and at school. Being at my friend's house or free time at school feels like the only time I can breath properly.
Sending virtual hugs to anyone damaged by the school system. I know how you feel. My fifth grade teacher didn't like me because I worked slowly. I also had trouble focusing on work and she would always call me out in front of the class. At the time, I loved the Ninja Turtles and would draw them in my notebook and on my folders. I didn't have many friends because I struggled with social anxiety.
One day, I couldn't find my homework and my teacher grabbed a garbage bin from the hallway. She put it next to my desk and told the whole class "We're going to watch Natalie throw away all of her Ninja Turtle drawings because they aren't real."
I was so humiliated. Sorry for the long story. I'm going to be 25 soon, so I survived that situation and I know you guys can too.

The problem with school is, they encourage students to study just to impress the teachers instead of teaching them to become more creative and smarter in life.
Yeah it's that in school you have to do something by the rules or you aren't gonna do great, in the world it's the exact opposite, you need creativity. Also school makes you only study for the exam, not for the knowledge you gain from it. In fact, let's say my middle school exam, I literally forgot everything when I got to the 1st year of high school

I'm an American high school student, and I recommend keeping a document where u write down creative ideas, thoughts, and fields of interest. It can remind u of what work u want to pursue after graduating high school, and how the type of learning that u actually enjoy is not associated with grades
Ok. I will try that. But what are your creative ideas, thoughts and fields of interests?
@@lexAlleviate It could range from philosophical thoughts, designing a prototype of something u could build, planning a piece of art u could create, writing down scientific questions, etc. Even if u don't research those scientific questions, create that piece of art, or build that prototype, it's still helpful to physically write your ideas and perhaps reference them later in life when u are deciding what work u want to pursue.
It’s sad how grades seem to determine kids' worth.
Edit: For those attacking me in the comments saying that mental health doesn't matter or if we don't go to college and acquire thousands of dollars in debt, we won't be successful, let me tell you this. This stigma that is centered around manual labor jobs has to stop. A lot of people often say that if you don't go to college, you will end up being a garbage man, plumber, janitor, or truck driver. We have been told that as if it's a bad thing. But actually, these jobs are very important to the upkeep of our neighborhood, city, state, and county. And some of these jobs pay well.

I love learning, but not everyone else does. Some of the kids at my school just don't give a crap, simply because they've been burnt out by the system and have never had the opportunity to foster their learning. This sucks, and I think the system is totally flawed; not only do people have to focus on academic achievement, (which to the schools is getting a good G.P.A and doing well on standardized tests) kids nowadays have peer pressure to worry about. These two facets, in combination with parents who don't promote a child to enjoy learning can, and has, in many cases resulted in depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and a ruined perception of learning in general.
Building on those ideas, it is utterly STUPID, yes, completely and entirely brainless of a parent to judge their child's worth based off of their grades. I will admit, that if a child is doing badly in school, measures should be taken to correct that, but to demean, to physically or verbally abuse a kid for doing badly in school, that is crossing a line. My family has, throughout my life, wholly supported me in highs and in times where I'm kind of just sucking and I believe that is a major key to success. That the main authority figure(s) in your life care about you, not just a number or a letter that we have come to see as identity, and that they take the time and effort, when they can, to assist you in difficult times. This is a major difficulty in society today. Kids are being expected to figure out school, social identity, (that's a whole different and even more difficult obstacle to tackle) and how to succeed in life without any careful input from others in their life. Usually, when this is the case, lives trail into disaster very quickly.
One of the ways that this can happen, is through untouched, unserved mental illness. Depression and other stress triggered mental illnesses are way too common to ignore, and they seem to target teens and young adults. They can be caused by other means, but it is an all too frequent occurrence for a teen to commit suicide because of social pressures in their life. People in that age range are already going through a tough period of change, and adding social and academic stresses can tip them over the edge, causing them to end their own lives. THIS IS CRAZY!!! People around us struggle daily and we avoid them for fear of getting hit with the same type of bullying that they experience, and even worse, we sometimes fuel their sadness. I know I've gotten off the topic of grades, but in this context, the stress of grades is only an added tedium in the mess of adolescence, making life that much harder for anyone already having a difficult time persevering.
I have to end this somewhere, and I know that there's so much more that could be said, but let me summarize. The system is flawed. All of us are feeling the negative affects of the society we live in, especially those who are now, studying for tests that don't really matter. These affects are made increasingly dramatic by peer pressure, parental shaming or abuse, and no on really has a get out of jail free card. We all have to find value somewhere and putting that in grades has driven people into depression and other terrible paths that could certainly be avoided, 'cept they weren't. My hope to everyone reading is that, we all find ways daily to ease this pressure on those around us. Many of us can't directly change the education system from our circumstance right now, but we can indirectly affect the experiences of others.
Good luck out there!

Even with Finland's education system being praised as one of the best, I still feel like it has a lot to improve on, even in reasonable limits. As an 18-yo student here I can say we do have high standards of teachers here, secondary education has recently been made completely free and stuff has definitely got better over some reforms, but I and many others don't agree with everything and cuts to education budget have been made. School books are often inefficient at teaching alone because of them being conufsing, too brief or overly lengthy and dull, so we need good teachers. The system is far from perfect and it's hard to explain shortly how.
Students: stressed
Teachers: wdym you're stressed?! Don't you know how much free time you guys have than us???
True
was worried nobody pointed that out.
They give us work. Thats it. WE copy the work, WE answer it, and WE have more homework to copy from it.
True
Students do have more free time than teachers, teachers have to do a lot of stuff after school, like grading papers from multiple students and much more. I'm not trying to imply that students don't have stress after school,they do, but teachers do way more and get less free time.
School tests how long you can memorize something, they could care less about whether you're learning anything or not, not to mention 98% of the stuff you "learn" in highschool you'll never use in life and will forget the second you leave the room after the test
Not to mention the fact that they also wake you up early in the morning. Most of the time I’m tired while I’m at school so I’m never in the mood to learn about anything.
True
my parents say that it's all "learning", bullshit, we learn shit we have to memorize to pass papers that we'll forget and NEVER use in life, unless it's connected to the job that we want: plus, the jobs right now probably won't be available in a few years so it's fucking useless...
As an indian I have to agree. You literally have to find a way to memorize the logarithmic table to just get eligible for a collage

school is a place where people who have horrible memory are being shamed
Beverage Fissure hey you went too

You need to be concentrated and captivated to retain information. Schools don't even do that much. Which is why I don't remember shit of what they teach.
They're just f*cking uninteresting.
Same I have really bad memeory
Placoderm C-Strain my geometry teacher asked me a question and then 15 minutes later asked me what her question was and when I said I didn’t remember she said “oh u don’t remember? I know it’s hard to remember a whole 10 minutes ago. It’s ok” in the bitchiest baby voice ever.
I really don't want to remember things I don't want. I can also forget my memory in 30 seconds voluntarily.
The fact that colleges and universities select students based on just grades and not anything else is just SO dumb.
My dad says that people in colleges and universities are not going to except you being you, because they don't know you. I know. My dad sounds like an absolute Boomer, because he is a Baby Boomer.
You know, that is not really the case.

When I was a kid, I fooled myself into think I loved school. It's only recently that I figured out I love learning, but hate school. On that day, I realized if I'm going to reach my goals, I need to take control of my education rather than rely on teachers. Read and practice what you're interested in, don't expect teachers to help you succeed. Mind you, that isn't a jab at teachers, but more of a jab at how they're trained.
Same, I love learning, but on my own pace, not forced to learn it for a test or in one quarter. That's why I hate school, it forces you to learn, and the things you learn are not even useful.
Ya, it’s like they cram information in yo head and expect you to remember it all.
Bro, if there are different teachers for different subjects, then how can kids ace in every single one? 🤷♀️
I also love learning and hate school, honestly the only good thing about school is my friends. I tend to do a lot of online practice on subjects that I learn and find interesting, which honestly helps me in the long run
I have bad grades tho in math and physics
That's what my mom said
How my whole school life was:
Getting bullied
Suffering from boredom
Stress
Getting scolded by my teachers cuz my work was 'not properly done'

How to add, subtract, multiply and divide. After that I haven't learnt anything ever since.

You are always saying, “Say thank you to your teachers at graduation , they taught you for the world!” Yes, I’ll thank my teachers for giving me anxiety every year, month, week, and day. I’ll thank them for making me anxious to go to school, where I’m supposed to be excited to learn and happy to interact with the material. Not only have you lowered my self esteem with grades, and your little pop quizzes, you’ve also hurt me mentally, I started to depend how I felt and how I would act based off of my grades because of how important they are.
Every single teacher has taught me nothing besides how to not deal with being stressed, instead you decided to grade us on how we have behaved, participated and communicated with not just the class, with you.
Sincerely,
All students.

@Randall W What are you talking about? It's about interest and enthusiasm over specific passions, and that has an effect of what you remember and not.
Randall W You kinda misunderstood me xD. I want to be a 3D animator, right? Well here in Norway, grades are from 1-6, and when trying to get in a line of study, your average grade decides if you can or not. I want to study 3D animation, but my grade in freaking physical education could drag my average down and make me not able to study it. NONE of the subjects in the Norwegian school system has any direct relevance to 3D animation, but the degree I master that stupid irrelevant shit, like WW2, has an effect on if I can study 3D animation or not. That’s the problem, I wasn’t talking about MD.
@Randall W I'm passing PE, my grade is from 3-4, but this is lower than on other subjects, therefore ruining my total average. I will most likely be able to study 3D animation, but not having the time to exercise and get better grades in PE due to other things like other subjects, it could still result in me not getting in the school i want if my average was lower. I'm constantly (learning) things in school totally irrelevant to what i want to do in life, but the degree i master those irrelevant things has an effect on if i can work with what i want or not. This is counterproductive since if i could spend more time actually focusing on 3D animation, instead of learning where the powerhouse of the cell is, i would've been a master in 3D art by now.

It's keeping me from my hobbies and it's making me lose interest in them, and my hobbies are a defining part of who I am. Instead, I'm cramming on work and information I don't give a damn about and I'm filled with stress and anxiety over it. I loathe school and their system.
I know what you mean, I was sat down and told by my teacher to give up on art because it won't help me after school. Art was my escape from everything, school only became more difficult for me after.
A. J just draw in class. it is a good time waster
This is how I learn:
5%: School
30%: Khan Academy (A real lifesaver and the thing that encouraged me to learn more)
65%: UA-cam
Large life to Khan Academy
Khan academy is really helpful especially the videos
Khan is awesome, I wish school would have a more immersive teaching environment. It’s not exactly ideal to shove 30 kids into one room and expect them to be interested in what they’re seeing.
Khan is helping me with math.
I thank them cause I get there explanations more than my teachers
unlike everyone else you- you did the math right.. you have earned my respectlol
School has been making me depressed for the past year and this video made me feel so much better. I can't thank you enough for making this video and showing me that I'm not alone in my struggles.
unpopular opinion: finding your passion in life is more important than good grades in every subject
Popular indeed

But we all share the same secret

My passion is to play football and I am going to give it my all to succeed
Thats a VERY popular opinion
I love to learn, but I hate going to school. I’ve had awful teachers who had yelled at me for using the color yellow. I want to be creative and not just listen to someone speak, write it down, memorize it, write it on a test, and then forgot it so I can “learn” something else. Sorry for rambling haha
My guess is on the flaws of the current education system, memorize stuff and learn straigth paths, instead of teaching how things applies and how to translate it for everyone so they can understand it
This is so true!!!
That’s sad, the school I go to have really nice teachers. And their explanation is really easy to understand, so almost everyone in the class I go to have perfects grade. But I hope you’ll get better teachers
My Math teacher made me feel bad about myself & I'm no longer interested in Math.
I got everything right on a mapping assignment but was docked points for using different colours than the ones in the book :,)
