School Rant Part One

School is almost over for me however, it seems like my work has doubled even though it is coming to a stop. I think that I have more homework at the end of school than the middle or beginning. I have so much things to worry about right now my head is about to explode. I have English assignments on top of English assignments, late work, 2 math projects, 2 chemistry projects, 2 history projects, 1 formal debate, 4.5 hour test, track meets after track meets, and formal debates and parties.

As you can see my life is about to explode! Most of these things are probably either going to be late or going to be bad work. I dislike the fact that when you come home from school you can't really focus and start getting the ball rolling until about 2 hours later. Or that is just probably me. I think the computer is a major distract in my life. I wish I could unplug and finish all of these assignments in lighting speed with 100% effort.

Sometimes I wonder if it is really worth going through all this stuff to only end up finding your self doing a job that requires nothing to what you have learn. Some things that I have been thinking about is 2012. If it happens, does that mean that I have wasted all my life trying to get a good education when in reality I'm not that smart. Truth be told I am a pretty average guy and I think its much wiser for me to just a job where I can just learn from there. I am a very hard worker too.

Another BIG thing that really pissed me off this weekend was the Measure E. I am all for it but a lot of people aren't. So I had to go canvasing which is knocking door to door talking to they about Measure E and what they think about it. Most people weren't home but some people were furiously against it. The people that handed me all the voting information showed me a chart of this that will happen if this Measure does not get passed. Some of these things are : making Encinal a Middle school, Lincoln middle a Elementary school, closing Chipmen, Wood, Otis, and a lot of other small elementary. They are also closing Island too.

SO 2012 looks VERY bright for me don't you think? They plan this out so it will probably be in effect by 2012. Some Senior year I am going to have. There's also going to be a lot of grade changes. Alameda High will have 2000+ students grades 10 - 12 only. Then everything else gets pushed forward one grade. Alameda WILL be in chaos!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Good for you for going door-to-door, though. Democracy in action.

    I'm sorry to hear you encountered "furious" resistance, though...Here at school, lots of the teachers are also trying to get involved in lobbying to get it passed. Who knows what will happen!?
