School Survival

If you're reading this, chances are you already feel a bit out of place in the world, like a ghost wandering through the halls of a school that doesn't quite know you exist. The weight of everyone else's emotions seems to rest on your shoulders, and it's exhausting, isn't it? You walk into a room, […]

School can feel like a suffocating cage, can’t it? You sit there, trapped in a dull room, and suddenly you’re lost in your thoughts, not even registering the teacher droning on about something you couldn’t care less about. You feel emotionally unsteady, like a leaf caught in a storm, and the exhaustion weighs on you […]

Learning isn't boring. It's vibrant, thrilling, and full of possibilities. But the factory model of schooling has sucked the joy out of it, turning something that should be a natural human experience into a soul-crushing routine. You sit in those rows, under those fluorescent lights, with bells dictating when you can move, speak, or even […]

Truancy laws are often touted as necessary measures to ensure that teens receive an education, but these laws ignore the deeper issues within the educational system that push students away in the first place. The hypocrisy of penalizing students for not attending school while ignoring the toxic environments they're forced into is both infuriating and […]

You never imagined you’d be here, staring at your child who simply cannot face another day at school. Your heart aches, torn between societal expectations and the fierce love you have for your child.

Punishment is supposed to teach you a lesson, right? That’s what they say. But what does it really teach you? It teaches you to be afraid. It teaches you that making mistakes is something to be ashamed of, something to hide. It teaches you that your worth is tied to your ability to follow arbitrary […]

School ruins the experience of learning Think about how school operates. The rigid structure, the standardized tests, the endless homework. There’s no room for creativity, no time to explore their own interests. Learning becomes a chore, a means to an end, rather than a joyful journey of discovery. Your child is told what to learn, […]

So, you’re here because your kid hates school. And I mean really hates it. It's more than just groaning and grumbling - it's a deep, visceral dread that you can see in their eyes every morning. It’s hard, isn’t it? Watching your kid suffer like that, feeling powerless to help. You want to do something, […]

You're not a "bad kid" if you don't do well in school. I need you to hear that, really hear it. Schools are like factories, churning out cookie-cutter students who fit into neat little boxes. If you don't fit, they slap a label on you: "troublemaker," "lazy," "bad kid." But those labels? They’re lies. You […]
