Conscience of a hacker
August 26
In school you’re not useful if you don’t know how to do math or read above grade level. It doesn’t matter if you’re a great artist or musician. In school that isn’t a college where they have your major and you can enjoy not being criticized for not being smart or talented. You “hack” school by listening to teachers, giving teachers what they want unless they ask for “another opinion” but they really just want you to tell them what they believe. When teachers ask you for another option and you give them what you believe they’re repeat it with something they want you to write about. You’re not free to “be yourself” You’re only tested on how much you remembered and not how much you’ve learned. We care more about grades then about knowledge. We think we’re smart because we listen to teachers that don’t let us expand our ideas. When we get pressured with too much work, we think we’re stupid because our grades are dropping and we don’t have time to focus on our mental health. We are competing with others while being less than 20. We think the other party is better because they have higher scores. We give up because we won’t be as smart or wouldn’t be anything in life without a high school diploma, just so we can end up with student loans and a death note.
