EDUCATION?

Nobody has posted on here in 5ever. :o

Instead of just Sent, Delivered, and Read, they should have options like, Acknowledged, Ignored, I’m never writing back, And Die.

One word from some students like us means nothing. To them, we are nothing but a bunch of testosterone self-indulged pricks wanting to cause problems. To them, we are brainless. Now maybe it’s time we actually voice our opinion? Can we try to get more students of PVHS in this group and actually move this forward into something more then a rant? Hm?

I am very upset with the injustice that has happened to all the kids at our school. But besides that, I think sometimes we forget our schools teachers and administrators are the ones making the decisions that our hindering our ability to make a career path. Instead of our school being nurturing to our need to find a path and be able to take it, all they worry about is us passing their date tests so they get paid. I an genuinely frustrated that I have to live in Pahrump, Nevada, not because of the people, not because of the limited activities, not even the damn horrid weather. It’s the fact that when I am applying for college I have to say I’m from the 50th state in education AND I’m from Pahrump Valley High School, the school of crushed hopes, broken promises, and obviously regret. I wish I could buy a big house and move us all to a nice town in New Hampshire because I am done with this school. I’m only going to invest my time, energy, and mental state because I have to. ~J

As high-school students they expect us to just be subject to their will and decisions, so just because they make a valid excuse we’re supposed to sympathize with the poor, poor, hard working school system, and not have any objections. It’s our own future that they’re ruining, and by giving what is rightfully what we deserve to the incoming freshman, we’re missing out on the things we had planned for. The things we needed to help us on our paths to our dreams and careers. Thanks PVHS. The kids who are grauating from middle-school can barely write their own names without an acronym or abbreviation.

Well, it seems the school district has put the career less cherry on top of the unemployed, uneducated, talentless, unmotivated PVHS cake. I see why they only had 9 kids in a room, because anymore their might have been a revolt. “Down with the system” I would have shouted if it wouldn’t of interrupted the counselor crushing my hopes, and breaking promises.

So the school is always telling us “OH MY GOSH YOU BETTER START MAKING PLANS AND CAREER CHOICES NOW BECAUSE THAT’S IMPORTANT”.

Then they decide in 2011 “oh let’s not let the freshmen have a lot of access to career classes, save it for the upperclassmen, and let’s remove some of the really good classes while we’re at it” and we’re just like “umm okay so we get the left over career classes later, fair enough”.

Now it’s 2012 and they’re like “lol let’s let the next set of freshmen get career classes!!”

And they were putting so much damn pressure on this year’s freshmen to pick careers and start working towards future goals. earlier in the year they had us fill out forms asking about career plans. in 8th grade, they had us make plans with classes that would help us achieve our goals.

We don’t have that access anymore. the class of 2015 got screwed over for the class of 2016 who are pretty much a big group of lost causes (with the exception of a few diamonds in the rough, I suppose).

In all seriousness… Look at the 9th graders. Look at the class who isn’t getting a fair chance at working towards a successful life. Sure, there are many kids in this grade — in this school, even — who don’t really care about academics and their futures in general. But some of us actually want a chance. Some of us are truly willing to work for what we want, but we need the tools to do it. 

Instead of being given the tools to learn what we need to learn, we got screwed over. Bad.

Why it sucks? Well, there are obvious reasons we can all agree on, but a recent one is this: it’s utterly logical for the school board to screw over upper class-men for failing under class-men. So much for “No Child Left Behind”, I guess…?
