Flaws in the School System (RANT)

Displaying DSCF2086.JPG

School drives me insane.  Last week, I got a phone call home every single day telling my parents that I was absent, when I was present in every class.  Like, imagine if I had those parents who are extremely stricked and don't believe a word I say.  Thankfully that's not the case, but imagine how many kids that happens to who's parents aren't like mine.

My drama teacher was telling me last night that several years ago, she wanted to renovate the drama class room so that it looked like a more professional, black box theatre.  Everytime she tried to put the plans into action, she got shot down.  She was ther only drama teacher in the school at the time, and they had no intentions of letting her go.  It was technically HER theatre and they wouldn't let her make it a nicer space for acting.
My school (like most) doesn't allow any tops with straps less than two inches, and strapless are completely out of the question.  You can't show your belly, and shorts/skirts/dresses all have to be at about half-thigh.  Why is this rule in place?  So that female bodies don't distract the male teachers/students.  And to that I say, keep it in your pants, control your dick, and think with the head on your shoulders - not the one on your waist.  It gets WAY too hot to wear excessive amounts of clothing in the summer.

If your reason for switching classes is because you don't understand the teacher, or the teacher hates you, then you can't switch classes.  Like, I almost failed history in grade 10 because the teacher hated me and I didn't understand him.   But when I tried to switched, they wouldn't let me.  Needless to say, I barely passed with a 53%.

The school system is entirely f***ed and no one cares enough to fix it.  I think I'll go on student council next year.
