Revolutionary Think

Took some (meaningful) action

So anyway I went back to my high school and it really felt as if I was in some 3rd world country parallel Universe. I go into the principals office and ask the secretary if they have any CAD or 3D modelling courses and of course they said no. They said if I wanted to start something like that I'd need to talk to the administrative offices across the street. I went to talk to HR and told them about my idea and they said to do anything I needed a teaching credential. I asked them if they could at least show my event but, they said I needed to come back another day. 

So I could've left right then and there but, I decided to ask a question and that was if they had any classes on personal finance or anything like that and she just flatly said no. Then I responded with disgusted saying how terrible that was. I honestly told them that I graduated 10 years ago and as an alumni they didn't even teach me anything useful like something I could present an employer with. Then she gave me some dumb generic answer as to how their curriculum was preparing students for Cal State and UC schools which in my opinion was complete BS. I talked about how the finance class was so important for the students so when they take out loans they'll know what they're doing instead of going through the process blindly. Then she answered that the curriculum wasn't exactly made by the school but, the lawmakers in the Sacramento. Then after that I'd said I'd get in touch with them.

The one thing I noticed when I said it was terrible that courses on practical every day things weren't being taught in the schools to her it seemed like her brain went into meltdown mode and she didn't know how to respond to me. I find it amazing how our stupid high schools are like these meat grinders where kids go and they loose their creative talents, their individuality, and learn how to become mindless cogs in a machine. It's so idiotic, cruel, and unenlightened. 

When I got home I did get in contact with the department of education to talk to them about these things and they told me I had to call my local assembly members and Senators to go over education law with them. I really keep thinking to myself just how stupid are these people to not think about these things and put in into a curriculum. It's unbelievable just how much of an idiotic sham what we are doing to the future inhabitants of the world is. I don't understand how a society can sustain such bullshit but, it seems like it's just about imploding on itself.
