#flaws in the education system

[hellspawntale-rebooted]

An unfortunate and important announcement.

For the foreseeable future, I will only be able to access Tumblr on The weekends.

As you probably know through reading between the lines, i have school. UNFORTUNATELY, I got a 59 out of tombs 60 I need to pass math for the first quarter. Therefore, as punishment and to make me do better in math, I am no longer allowed access to my phone during the week, thanks to my Mother. I am only allowed today because of Friday being a day off. She seems to think I’ll HAVE to study if I don’t have my phone, but here’s the thing. I CANT. My schoolbooks only have questions and things we’ve already learned. Also, if we’re prepared for stuff in class, WHY would I need to study? That’s the thing: I don’t. It’s because they DONT GIVE US WORK, they give us THE EXACT SAME STUFF OVER AND OVER AND THEN A TEST. We haven’t even been in class for most of math because of technical problems, having a DIFFERENT TEACHER. I dunno if the teacher calculated my marks wrong or what, but I’ve been doing GREAT recently. I won’t be able to post or do ANYTHING related to my phone unless it’s a weekend. I HATE this so much.

A small but important thing I forgot to add to my massive post about the yokai school system: I mentioned it was largely publically funded through taxes, but not entirely.

One reason for this is that after a number of decades (depending on how many classes someone takes a semester, how many extracurriculars they do through the school, etc), the public funding allotted to an individual will run out, and they'll be expected to pay for classes. This is still much less expensive than it would be in the standard American college though.

The second reason for this is that basically all the schools in the Hidden City are run with some level of donations (usually from wealthy patrons who have an interest in education, and might choose to fund a specific subject area such as math or science or theater). These donations usually aren't the bulk of school funding, but make up 15 to 20% of it on average.

The reason this is important? The one person in the Hidden City who donates the most money and to the most schools: Big Mama. It's one of the reasons that the Council of Heads hasn't just outright arrested her: besides the fact that she's very good at covering her tracks, her criminal empire is funding at least 30% of yokai schools. Taking her out of the equation would substantially strain the yokai education system.

#rottmnt #rottmnt au #minor interference lore #rottmnt big mama #i like to think that she uses her money and influence for just enough good that it makes people really hesitant to call her out on the bad #because yeah she's running a criminal empire and a blood sport arena #but also she's funding the equivalent of like seven different elementary schools #also its probably easier to manipulate people when you funded their education #like 'oh you have a doctorate? without my money you never would have made it that far' #and if big mama influences education she probably has some sway over a LOT of other things. not direct influence but better in some ways #because it's harder to trace #besides i gotta give my nice education system SOME flaws yknow? more fun that way

#pretty much confirms what i always say #americans are just better #genuinely believe there is something special about being american that imbues a people with a quality that makes them greater #american whites are scoring up there with the top asian countries -- well about any europeans #unsurprisingly so are our asians #our mixed races are scoring higher than most of europe too #our hispanics are scoring higher than all hispanic countries -- they're scoring up there with israel #our blacks are scoring higher than greece and mexico -- if africa was included i'd bet they would score higher than all of it #seriously there's just something special about being american -- we are blessed by the gods -- we're their favorite #european americans are greater than europeans #african americans are greater than africans #asian americans are greater than asians #and so on #and i'm not JUST talking about test scores here #but i do want to get back to the test scores #this just goes to show that the american education system -- despite its flaws -- is still world class #america just can't stop winning

being a gifted kid who was bullied for being smarter than everyone was actually not a problem for me bc im not a fucking pussy

#grow up !! #insert obligatory 'yes i had undiagnosed adhd yes i had so much pressure put on me yes i still have crippling perfectionism issues' #no ur not special for growing up in a flawed education system. literally everyone does #o

[broodparasitism]

I don’t care how mentally ill you may be you all have GOT to let go of your superiority complex you had over your peers who were deemed “problem” kids and stop playing the gifted kid victim

#to grow up you have to realise how wronged those children were. you have to defend them now. #like waaaaaaa you benefited most from a deeply flawed education system #where is your outrage for your peers who did not. #+ the gifted kids never want to talk about the difference social class makes in education

I'm sure I'm not the only reader who thought the arrangement with how witches teach their apprentices while living with them could spell danger for children under the tutelage of vile adults, but I didn't really think WHA would go there cuz, heyyy... Wholesome-ish manga, right? But seeing the brief flashbacks with Riche's brother again and remembering Lulucy's backstory?

Fuck, I'm terrified. Once we go back to a Riche arc with her brother, we might fully tackle teachers of their kind...

#witch hat atelier #tw csa #implied csa #i didn't wanna bring it up #but i fear i wont be able to ignore it as a one chapter thing #i understand one of the things about wha is exploring the flaws of the education system and flawed teachers #and teachers who take advantage of their students are a part of that reality #even in this way #but im really scared #where the fuck are the watchful eye whatnots like olrugio who are supposed to prevent this kinda #shit???

no idea how you are irl but at least on here you come across as needy yes but like in a cute ashley kind of way? like idk maybe im just into that but like your whole vibe is well... needy little sister and also based and gay anti-corpo. i dig the whole vibe

Aww, are you saying you are into me~?

Jeje sorry I jest, this message is just really nice though. I vibe with your vibes too ^-^

I am really needy tbh, irl I do my best to not be so needy and be as normalpilled as possible, with mixed success, but you know, the attempt is made.

I do my best to stay based, but also, genuinely, I really do hate corporations and capitalism as a whole with a burning passion. I'm actually an unironic anarchist as well, so yeah, I'm just queer and disabled and with a bone to pick with the State.

#i am definitely a pretty needy little sister which probably fuels the brocon tendencies i got going on tbh #i do actually identify a lot with Ashley that's why i push the ASPD Ashley agenda all the time #she just like me fr #and about capitalism i just deeply hate the fact that its basically forced us to sell our humanity our soul our art our time our health our #bodies our everything really and what for for a flawed system built in oppressing and selling my people #so the rich white people can get richer and the rest of us can die like disposable meat #yeah no i much rather everybody has a roof over their head education water hygiene and food by virtue of being a living breathing human #being thank you very much #being disabled is just the world constantly showing you it isn't built for you and my life is making it through every single day no matter #what #soleil asks #Sasha

I hate it when teachers say working together and helping eachother is a “crucial skill”

You don’t even help your own students

And isn’t the whole adult thing full of competition?

You tell kids they won’t be ready for the real world

Maybe you should actually prepare them then

And stop being so stubborn

You can’t just make people get along

listen i will be first in line to complain about u.s. americans' self-centered view of the world. but also i need my non-u.s. american followers to know that they do teach geography in school. we do get lessons on other countries. we do get classes on how to analyze biases in our sources and finding information at libraries and online. i went to public school in a shit state and i learned these things. my friends learned these things. i want to set my hands on fire

#our education system is deeply flawed but honestly what the fuck #is this trend of 'ooooh i just wasn't taught this in schooooool' #it's okay to not know things or have to google things but W H Y would you proudly announce tot he world that #you don't know and you refuse to learn and also this is someone else's fault

All of the Plaintiffs in the Mills v. DC Board of Ed (1972) ruling are students of color. Despite that, the case itself was about DC’s BoE allowing school districts to exclude, suspend, expel, and transfer these students for having “exceptional” disabilities. They sued on behalf of the estimated 12,340 disabled students who were unfairly cut out and left to rot. Doesn’t that just make you feel a certain kind of way? 

#jazz.txt #sorry im doing sped law fact sheets and #almost all of these rulings and suits were made / brought up by parents and students of color with just a few recent exceptions #and yet the ''face'' of special education is the white houswife autism mommy who didnt give two shits abt her kid's needs until it was cool #so much of the educational system's flaws were so painstakingly hammered out the trials and tribulations of people of color #english language learners and disabled people #o(-<

I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."

#thotty speaks #thotty rants #idk like i feel like alot of yall are being weirdly cruel and smug about this situation #'gen alpha can't read' can you??????????

[queertemporality]

the way i see people equate "anti-intellectualism" with "any critique of the education system/academia" is. i don't really know what it is but it sure is Something

#'it's anti-intellectualism to criticize the education system' no actually #it's just a criticism of the education system. thought the difference here was kind of obvious but okay #if anything it might be the opposite of 'anti-intellectualism' #or like. wholly unrelated #like. pointing out flaws in academia =/= 'anti-intellectualism' #and making that claim just shows me you don't know the difference #post

Ik the system doesn't work it's flawed and it's not all in the spirit of learning and education and it's all just mugging up for marks and grades ik all that but I just don't want to cheat because there are people who actually worked hard and wrote it themselves who got less than what they deserved for the effort they put in and ik how childish and naive it sounds you'll tell me to grow up that's just how the world works nothings fair but when someone else just cheats and gets a lot more it just feels wrong and ik it will fuck me up in the future but I would prefer not to because it just makes me feel worse about myself and I'd rather get the little bit that I actually did by myself and got it boils down to the thing about how the world is big and bad and if I just go with it I'm part of the reason why it's like that and I'd like to think not everyone would do that?

A pretty dramatic self-righteous holier than thou thing to say ik

#rant over #it's all just whining and ranting #personal rant #mini rant #education #education system #flaws #bits from books i'll probably never write #writing bits #character dialogue #conversations #convos #random thoughts #just random thoughts i have every once in awhile #thoughts #depressing #sad thoughts #sad #sad stuff

(foaming at the mouth) i need to read an essay. right now

#or a nonfiction book. either will do #i just really need to read an analysis about the flaws of america’s education system #personal tag

[saltypiss]

People will shit on those that say school should teach useful stuff and have grown up in a different state/county/school with different kids/teachers/century/curriculum and not have one ounce of self realization of it.

Educated doesn't equal smart. Just means ya know stuff, not that you could ever apply it meaningfully, like in a relationship. Ya losers.

#education #learning #nuance is dead #neither popular statements are right but only the #teach us how to use a check #crowd actually tries to have any positive reform for our failing education systems #just saying #they notice the system is flawed #and the others pretend it's flawless #and those that don't do either usually don't take the check's side #fair enough #but they have ideas on how to reform Their School #not yours

i,,,,,believe i havent posted these??? over the course of 2022 i made a few school (and one grandma) illustrations

having finished basic education and not being enrolled anywhere for a year made me think about how flawed the education system is and how anxiety inducing school was and how powerless you feel as a child....but also nostalgic that and i also love looking for cryptid photos from oficial websites of polish schools, see them below the cut

if youre looking for backroom references, schools from the eastern block are here for you
