FSE #2

Now lets take a step away from all the problems within the world and examine our everyday life in which this theme comes up. You may or may not notice that many, if not all of the student body will complain about any work or notice of a test no matter how little or easy it may be. Even I complain when I've been handed what seems like a months worth of homework in a single day. Yet after all the complaining, the work that seems impossible still gets completed. Tests are still written when the students are prepared, FSEs are handed in on time, and presentations are still presented the day they were due. What we always assume as students is that all the teachers are unfair and miraculously plan to have chunks of work planned around the same week or so to crush us when it simply is not true. So what if you happen to have 2-3 test on the same day? If students paid attention in class then studying before a test should not take 2-3 hours of your night. It's gotten to the point where in some classes of mine, even mentioning a quiz has almost become taboo for the teacher due to negative and hateful response of the student body. This may just be what I think but homework isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. The teachers are trying to be fair in their distribution of work so that we don't have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. There is even a calendar that teachers use to plan tests and such. Even when students miss a test or an important event, they are usually allowed to do a make up test.

What we occasionally perceive as foul might not be what it seems. School, it seems, is seen by many students as the bane of their lives, yet it is essential for our success and the teachers try their hardest to help us out. The foulest things as perceive through teenage eyes are often not what it seems. High school might seem hell on earth to some until we grow up and realize how wrong we actually were. Anyways, I realize that this is only what I see happen around me. This situation might be entirely different for those who enjoy their school life and always have a light load of homework. In the end, there will still be plenty of teenagers who hate school with a passion, and there will be for decades to come. But everyone has to reach a point in their lives where they turn back and were glad that they had gone through school.
