The School system stunts our organ growth

Its an odd fact but at young age our organs don't grow as much as they should because children use more energy to process things in their brain when they are at a period of physical growth and should relax their mind.

The school system teaches us that us the students are wrong even if what we did was right it. When we do have a view or opinion that we share the higher authorities. When we say something like that you want to change something for the better they just say that it will never happen, when they should encourage you because it would be better for children to grow up and try to improve things. Principals will only ask you certain questions making you fell like your more guilty and more guilty and make it harder for you to defend ourselves.

The school system teaches us not to change things just to bypass them. It does  show in the schools that they are following this as well because they just ignore allot of the problems and they don't fight hard to change things and tell us to just follow their foot-prints so our society wont advance.

They say through their lips that you can change things by being assertive and talk it over with someone. but this only works if the person is willing to listen in which case the authorities at the schools are not. Without being able to express ourselves assertively we either resort to passive means where nothing gets done about it, or resort to aggressive means which show in the students that do show aggression in their acts. The students then learn that they must use aggressiveness to be herd and show it in later in life. The school system should teach assertiveness and be assertive listeners themselves.

Their is a big difference between punishment and discipline. The responsibility of the principle is to discipline not punish the students but they do punish us. Discipline is a learning experience that does not intimidate the child just let him/her understand and punishment is intimidating the child. An example of proper discipline is sitting the kid aside for five minutes to sort out ideas relating to an problem. punishment would be doing something like making fun of them or mini lecturing (will be referred to later). A child should only sit aside for the maximum of five minutes, 30 is way to long and that is an average detention because it is just boring for them and not helping with the situation.

Mini lecturing is a technique used by allot of principals and parents it is shoving something into a persons face. An example of mini lecturing would be to say "you shouldn't show up late, why do you always show up late". The students know the consequences and what he/she did wrong and it is intimidating to have that done to you. The repetitiveness is very disturbing and leads to anger and depression. This is taught in the parenting class at school but the information gathered in this course is not applied in the school

The teachers always say that the country should work together in a democracy but the system itself is a hierarchy now what kind of message is that. They always push us underneath them when they say that we should all be treated as equals but they abuse their authority and intimidate us for being lower in their hierarchy. They should listen for their are some good ideas in students ideas that could make things better and what is right cant be proven wrong.

With out a sense of adventure we would never know about anything because we would not look for answers like what is inside of us, how herbs benefit us, or what is in the sky. Students are always told what not to do when we can learn more from our mistakes and our experiences than from someone else. We need to explore and to be encouraged to not to be told what's what and just be told to believe it.
