Right now I'm in highschool (I'm live in Poland and our school system is made to waste as much time as possible) and the amount of homework and tests to study for here is insane. If I wanted to do all the homework and study enough to get good grades (which I don't to keep my sanity and somehow survive the depression I'm currently going through) I'd have maybe half an hour for resting and doing what I like. Does this violate the right to rest? Can teachers rightfully punish me for not doing the homework?

Holidays are a scam, the only difference from a skl day is we get to wake up late. A skl day is: Go to skl, go back home, study, a liitle leisure, sleep. Whats the difference between holidays when: We wake up late, study, a liitle leisure, sleep. Holidays are supposed to be a time where students get to take a break, But the education system around the world think that holidays are used for extra studying, if thats the case whats the point if you gain the same if you just go to skl, holidays are pointless right now and only matter if you are still young and havent experienced high school or college They should honestly change the exam amd test dates so that holidays actually mean sth

A co-worker was kind of explaining this to me because I'm new in the school system. They said The administration gets their money from political parties so let's say for example right now the re publicans are The ones giving money they will put their people in the administration and the administration will hire their people. Now if it switches Democrat then these people already in position are at risk of losing their jobs Is this accurate?

Remember that the SAME PEOPLE who want social media bans in Australia for -16s because it's "hurting self esteem" ALSO use the grading and similar "well below average level" and "well below our expectations" bullsh!t and openly support the propaganda. They have NO RIGHT to talk.

Hey everyone!
We’re working on an AI startup and want to build some actually useful stuff for high schoolers. We have a few ideas, but we want to take a “for you, by you” approach and see what you guys would actually find helpful that AI could solve.
So, here’s the question: if an AI could do anything for you as a high school student, what would you want it to do?

One idea we heard from a student was an AI that could write essays but add a few spelling and grammar mistakes so it sounds more natural and avoids AI detection. She said she’d definitely use that! 😂
What do you guys think? Any other ideas we could build for you?

Hi folks,

Just curious - if an AI could do anything for you, what would you want it to do?

Someone pitched me this idea that if there was an AI that writes you essays with a few spelling and grammar mistakes to sound like a high school student and avoid AI detection - they would definitely use it.

Was wondering if there are any other areas in your life where you would want an AI to help you out with?

Hey, this is my first post on Reddit, sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

This post is coming from a student who didn't have much friends in elementary, in 5th grade in 2023-24, I was friends with a kid named T, and T and I were kinda close but not in a way that we were gonna date, some kids in our class knew I was a lesbian and T should know too.

One time in STEM I was annoying him for fun since I had no one to talk with since I was at a table alone, I was blowing air since I was bored and after I blew on his head a few more times he looked at me and said this "I'm gonna r*pe you.." or something by the lines of that...

Mind you both of us were 10-11 so we were practically minors at the time.

And I was a bit weirded out by the comment since I told him "I liked girls" and he just played it off like he didn't say it...

Context: I'm FTM (11) posting this, I'm in sixth grade now and trying to get my mind off of things. As I was typing this I hope nobody had the same thing happen to them like what happened to me...

I'm a 13-yr kid in 8th grade, a relatively normal kid who wants to do his work and go home. however, my school is full of weed/nic infested kids and some horrible teachers, as someone with big dreams and wants to make their parents proud I want to make honor roll. ( I'm on track with a 3.5 gpa). so, when I was on the bus today sitting like a normal kid not doing anything just minding my business. then about 2 minutes later I feel a big bang on my head. I turn around to realize a kid slammed his computer on my head, keep in mind I haven't done ANYTHING, I cuss him out then a turn back around and start to hallucinated and feel dizzy while trying to get a pen. I finally manage to get a pen after like 7 minutes and I was going to stab him when he left but I knew if he fought back, I would be to out of my mental state to even keep my body up. and keep in mind I want to make honors role. and I already know from past harassment the school does not care and will suspend both of you guys. so, if I did anything I would start to fall back on my grades and either way i just can't wait to graduate and show people that your social cred in school will not matter and in the real-world u will not get anywhere.

First thing, I would introduce an actual curriculum about mental and physical health. I feel like this is very important, as people (especially teenagers like me) are glued to their phones and TikTok, and they should know the mental effects of it. They should know that scrolling mindlessly for hours on end in a day destroys their brains. And for physical health, they should learn about basic stuff like diseases, how to prevent them, etc. They should also have a curriculum about survival. How to make a fire, how to use natural water, etc. Also I know that this isn't about health but they need to do more drills (fire, lockdown, etc) in a year. And no, not those corny ones, ACTUAL drills. Like, someone dressed as an attacker comes in the school with like a nerf gun or something and the school ACTUALLY does the drill. It won't just help, it would also be fun. They should also teach us about the chemicals in our food. Or they would, only if the government actually cared. That's why the system is so corrupt.

I would also make students take classes that they WANT to take, and not grade them on stuff. I think that the grading system is a piece of trash and it brings students' creativity levels down. The grading system is not only stupid, but it also stresses students out. Especially students with mental health stuff going on like anxiety. Not only that, but another creativity killer is the fact that we have to learn in such a boring way. I would drastically change how the curriculum works. I want to make students feel happy when they see a book. I would make the curriculum way more fun, hands-on and interactive. This way, students can feel happy when doing schoolwork. Why do I need to overanalyze a book, let alone write an essay on it. The reason Jimmy was wearing Red and Yellow isn't because he's a Stalinist commie. I don't care.

Next, I would change start times. 7:00 AM is WAAAAY too early for school to start. This sucks for students that go to bed late. So that's why I would make elementary school go from 9:15 AM to 2:45 PM, middle school from 8:45 AM to 2:15, and HS from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It also sucks that schools want us to be "ready to learn." Bluh, I just woke up. Why do you expect me to want to even be here, let alone "learn?" Like bro I don't care about why Little Timmy was wearing a red shirt in the story. I care about being on a bed.

Another thing I would change is the amount of testing. Here in Maryland, we have 3 major tests in middle school, MISA in 8th grade (science), MAP, and MCAP. We have 2 MCAP and 2 MAP each year (if im not mistaken I kinda forgot). Even if I'm wrong, we have WAY too much testing in the U.S.A. It's absurd. Testing is stupid, because not only are they "important," they are also very strict on them. You have no freedom during a test. that's why I would get rid of most tests, in the U.S. They are also a main stressor of students.

Next reason is that schools think that using stuff like GoGuardian, Securely, and other stuff like that is good thing. While yes, students are not allowed to be on some things on their laptops, but watching their every move is a little too much. Some teachers could use these softwares to spy on students (diddy-style), and that isn't good. Also, you could be researching something on you're school computer, and a good research site could be blocked. Plus, that stuff is kind of considered malware, because some people have said that it automatically downloads itself onto their personal computers. This hasn't happened to me, so I wouldn't know.

I would also change some admins and teachers. I know, this is me personally, but other people have idiot teachers as well. When I was in 6th grade, my ELA teacher gave me a lunch detention because I stood up in class. The thing is, I was in the back of the classroom, AND I wasn't causing ay disruptions.

Last topic, lunches. The school food is worse that cool ranch doritos. They're bad too, but at least I'd still eat them. This shit looks like chum from the chum bucket. It looks like someone threw up and they cooked and served it for lunch bro. I could go on and on and on, but I won't.

Let me note that this is something that I actually care about. Sorry I wrote so much lol

edit: I forgot to mention school rules, school rules are stupider than Patrick from spongebob. Like why can't I eat a small pack of gummies in class, when the teacher has an entire 5-star gourmet buffet meal? It's absurd. And no hoods or hats. My school allows hoods, but not hats? bro wth? I even wore a beanie and nobody told me to take it off, but someone wears a cap, and they're immediately on their ass like a police chase. Like bro it's not that serious!!

Do all schools have an abundance of workbooks that teachers discard by the case without even being opened? Our school gets in cases of books that are literally taken from the truck to the garbage without even opening. Others are handed out to the students but at the end of the year 1000s of workbooks are taken out of the lockers and thrown away without ever being used.

So today I was at lunch with my friend, and some teachers were giving out passes to go outside. She started passing out passes at my table, but then when she got closer to us she literally just skipped us for no reason. she completely skipped over the rest of my table (that wanted to go outside). A little after that, she literally gave passes to other people across the cafeteria (she ran out of passes before them). Then when she came back to us, we asked for a pass, she just shrugged and said no. After that we were upset. I swear bro I was about to crash out because of these ducking people. She literally gave passes to like one or two people at my table and just completely skipped us. she gave us no attention bro. We were raising our hands high so you can see them. You HAVE to raise your hand to get a pass. This shit really makes me question my faith in school, and just humanity bro. They aren't the absolute worst people there, but it could be better, Like this other time where my table was the last to leave because we started clapping. There is a bunch of other stuff i can talk about but i don't want to keep you reading me for too long bye

I'm Asperger and probably ADHD and sometimes the class is extremely boring and I don't understand a lot and I distract for like 3 LITERAL seconds and the teacher has finished explaining and I want to ask her/him if she can explain to me more clearly and she/he says "I already explained 5 times" when she/he only explained like 0.5 times and not very clearly, then I ask him again and he/she keeps refusing and saying "you're wasting time of the class" YOU DUMBASS PRIMATE YOIRE THE ONE WASTING TIME BY REFUSING AND NOT WANTING ME TO LEARN

TW; mention of sexual harassment.

1. I was facing death threats from other students because I accidentally hit a girl with a basketball when they stood right under the hoop(for context, I'm a guy but I am trans, at the time I hadn't come out socially or transitioned medically, and I was a smaller girl/I still haven't come out or transitioned socially/medically). Told the school, school did nothing.

. 2. All throughout middle school and somewhat highschool, the teachers didn't listen and excused the fact I was being m0lest3d/sexually harassed by two of my "friends" because The girl was a year younger than me so it couldnt be that bad. There was a second girl who would try to touch me even when I resisted. The teacher literally watched this happen and did nothing. . 3. I walked into the bathroom and smelled smoke. To be honest I went in there just to check because I could smell it from the hall. Told the teachers, teachers didn't do shit. (I have asthma and it could potentially harm other students with it to be in a bathroom literally FOGGY BECAUSE OF SMOKE). . 4. P.E teacher. When students were tired of physically couldn't play whatever sport or activity we were doing, we had to sit out against a metal fence's poles and it's was always over 90° outside. The classes lasted an hour. I almost passed out a lot of the time. A girl actually did before and had to be taken out of the school in a wheelchair. P.E teacher faced no consequences. . 5. When I was the new kid who had come in half way through the school year, obviously I didn't have the fucking syllabus and didn't know what I needed +teacher never mentioned or gave it to me, she got mad and gave me low grades just for not having an individual binder for her class alone(we couldn't afford to buy it at the time). Same thing recently happened in another class. . 6. I had a bad friend group. They berate and hit me. I told other teachers. They did nothing. I shared a class with those friends, and the teacher in that class would watch and laugh. . I have a lot more but tbh these are some of the things I could think of off the top of my head. I apologize for my grammar of any spelling issues, I rushed when typing.

tdlr: 12M asked teacher “does he season his chicken” and subsequently suspended for 3 days, which seems extreme. I’m pissed at the school.

I’m white (42F), my kids are biracial (black father). Apparently the other day, some kid told my son (12M) to ask one of his 6th grade teachers “do you season your chicken?”, so he did. He and none of the other kids around him really understood the “joke” because one of his other friends asked what does that mean? And my son didn’t know. When he came home he asked his sister (13F) and she said she guessed it was supposed to be racist.

Today a dean from the school (we live in panhandle Florida) called me and said that this teacher wrote my son a referral because he has been disruptive in class with warnings before and then asked this question of the teacher in front of the class. The school decided it was a level 3 (on a 4 level matrix) disrespect offense and gave him one day out of school suspension and two days in school suspension. I was pretty livid and think that’s pretty extreme for a kid who doesn’t get in trouble. I asked how the question was considered disrespectful per their code of conduct description, especially if it wasn’t asked with malicious intent, and did the teacher tell my son he felt it was inappropriate? The response was well “disrespectful” was subjective and the teacher felt it was disrespectful. They told me to take it up with the principal of the school, she was of course “off site” today. So I’ll be back Monday morning to speak to her.

The referral from the teacher states “student has been given multiple warnings for disruptive behavior; today out loud in class he asked if “I season my chicken?” Not only inappropriate, but disruptive and in bad taste”. Are people really this big of snowflakes now? The follow up comments state “when asked (today) if it was racially motivated, the student admitted that he understands why it was”. To me and because I know he came home from school and asked if it was inappropriate, and the way that was worded wasn’t it was racially motivated when he said it, just that he now understands how it could be taken that way.

Am I wrong to raise a stink with the school on Monday?

There are definitely bad kids in our schools. I wish we could be honest in our position.

I have a method of pulling another screen on my test during lockdown browser, but i dont know if lockdown browser records your screen. even if it does would it show on the recording?

I'm in a vocational program to learn job skills, and there was this one time when I was baking cookies with the group. The teacher kept nagging me, asking, "Have you found it yet?" I responded, "I just need one moment, please. I'm currently looking for it." Then she yelled at me like I was in kindergarten.

Also, I use a fanny pack to help carry important stuff like my phone and charger. I have my phone in case I need to set timers, and the charger so if my phone dies, I can leave it in a room to charge. But she won’t even let me bring my charger in my pocket. She’s very discriminatory and likes to assume something is wrong, constantly asking if I’m okay or if I want to talk about it.

I don’t feel anywhere near comfortable sharing how I feel with her. Respectfully, if I were feeling some type of way, I have the right to refuse to give her that information. It’s my choice, and my choice alone, whether or not I want to share anything about my mental health outside of the program.

Honestly, I feel like this vocational program, which is affiliated with the school district, is a breeding ground for discrimination. Sometimes I come home feeling miserable inside.

I feel like this subreddit is just formed by kids who don’t want to study or people too stupid to finish school. I only found this because it popped up in my notifications and the first post I saw is “Why can’t we boycott school?”

I wanted to start a thread about the Diocese of Broken Bay in NSW.

I know a number of things are happening there, and recently they have moved to an incorporation ownership model.

This is because there are a number of current lawsuits against them.

Malpractice, negligence, educational neglect, poor or non existent reporting methods and other illegal practices that god only knows exist.

I know teachers in the DBB system are hurting under the leadership also and many are burned out, and scared for their livelihoods under a dictatorial regime lead by Danny Casey.

Anyone have any experiences to share? I thought I’d start this thread so that people out there suffering currently don’t feel alone.

So let me provide the background. I'm 47/m living paycheck to paycheck. When I started junior high, my dad bought a house in a very nice white collar suburb despite being a blue collar worker. He did this thinking the schools there would give me a better chance, but he was oh-so very wrong.

I had NO friends in town, much to my dad's consternation. Even getting frustrated because I had to bike a town over to visit actual friends. All he knew is I didn't get along with local kids, but he didn't know why. And I don;t dare, even to this very day, tell him what really happened.

You see, I got mercilessly picked on and occasionally got the crap knocked out of me from sixth grade to graduation. School staff ignored my pleas for intervention until one day, a random classmate caught me around a corner and slammed a textbook into my face, breaking my nose. After an ambulance coming by to set my nose, the vice principal (the actual principal couldn't be buggered to do anything) pulled me into his office to have a little talk before my dad come to pick me up.

He wanted me to tell my dad it was an accident. And to my depressed low self esteem teenaged self, I went along with his explanation. To paraphrase, he said "Your dad doesn't know how things work in these kind of towns and if he knows the truth, it can do more harm than good. Your schoolmates have a future. Their parents have high expectations of them. It's brutal and they need an outlet. If you end up with a bloody nose here and there, so be it. Otherwise they'll release all that negative energy elsewhere that can hurt their future. You don't have much of a future, but you can give them one."

I bought this line of BS hook line and sinker throughout junior high and high school. I did the bare minimum to graduate and I completely piddled away my college years (still paying off a student loan). I never told anyone, especially my dad, even over 30 years later. I was a source of much vexation for him, having no local friends, having no motivation to do anything. If I tell him this, it will just break his heart.

This whole thing has been hovering over me like a ghost lately. If I didn't let this get me down when I was a kid, would I have been more motivated to build a better future for myself? Would I have turned out better than a 47 year old customer service employee? I also wonder if schools still pull this BS? No kid should EVER be a lightning rod for their privileged classmates. I piddled away my high school and college years thinking I'll always be nothing. And now I am nothing. And it just isn't fair.
