RE: Why I Hate the School System
Take your own blog history and see what exactly you write about and what your specialty is. What is the information content of your publication and the areas of knowledge you are roaming? What rating would you give yourself?
You got the school education you got. That can no longer be changed. Nothing in life offers us exactly what is tailor-made for us. Cutting and measuring is something that only happens when we grow up and decide what we want to do with our lives. School is a place like any other. Why is it a question of whether the others are weird or whether you have a problem?
We modern citizens do not experience our school education as valuable for exactly that reason, because we decide for the opposite - in retrospect. Did it occur to you to search for the events and episodes that have been good in your memory of school, that have inspired you? These are neither everyday nor often repetitive moments, but they are remarkable and can get you out of the complaining or this "whatever" mode. Did you know a particular teacher who, through his way of teaching, managed to give you pleasure in a subject or topic?
If you imagine every day as a round cake, then probably 60-80 percent of this cake is just everyday normality. And only the remaining percentages arouse interest, trigger a moment of decision and action. You seem to expect the proportion to be reversed. You can look at school, work and all life in such a way. Now that you are an adult, your expectation to be served your past schooling and the knowledge you were taught back then in your own way should stop. After all, you can do now much more now than you did as a disciple.
It is time to consider the whole school and education system as a possibility, systems that offer certain probabilities and will never fit perfectly, but have niches and loopholes. You can start to accept a part of it and not think you have to sell your soul to the devil. How to move in a system that cannot be totally rejected or fully integrated would be a way of looking at you and your life as well. What speaks against another official school career or adult education if you seem to see the need? You think there is nothing and nobody who have to offer something?
I don't know how old you are, but be sure that you will also appear here as a role model for younger men and women. How did you, as a teenager or very young man, perceive older people who saw and let you feel their resignation and world-weariness? What could you learn from them?
What identity do you actually have?
Wouldn't it be better to encourage others rather than discourage them?
Perhaps you should stop feeding on the affirmation of those who merely sing the same song and fear their own possibilities and strengths.
But even without a diploma or certificate, you can lead a life as good or bad as you do with it. Comparisons about stupidity or cunning only lead to emptiness anyway.
The best testimony you can get is the one you issue to yourself. Surely you are good at exactly those things that you may take for granted yourself. Make something of it.
You're going way too deep into this. This is a pointless blog on Steemit made for a few bucks.
I didn't even proofread. That's how pointless this post is.
So you are saying your wasted your time?
Not really. I made the few bucks I tried to make. Sure I was aiming to get some bigger voters, but there's little to no curation on Steemit these days, so this was to be expected.
Does it mean that what you write about isn't really taken seriously by you and doesn't really need to be taken seriously by other people? And that the fact that a post, when it is actually voted higher, only gets a value if it is rated higher by others? And otherwise not?
Do I understand correctly that you throw a kind of thing into a middle where others can find it and depending on how far and high the thing is then thrown by these others and held in the air, the game becomes interesting?
Would I have been a whale respectively curator which would have given you a 100% vote worth 50 or 100 SBD would the meaning of what you wrote here still be the same for you? Would you tell me, a whale, that you have not even proof read what you just published or would that change your outlook on your own work?
Why are you so dramatic? Content on Steemit doesn't really matter. The whales don't read posts. And even if some do, it's from the popular kids.
I wouldn't say dramatic, but rather puzzled.
My content matters, though :)
Why are you puzzled?
Because I wonder to what extent you are interested in an exchange on what topic you publish here on your blog. It seems like a contradiction to me. First you write something and then it's not so important? For me personally, everything has meaning. That's why I'm irritated.
