Has school destroyed your creativity and self-confidence? I'm working on a book called Recovering From School, to help you heal the damage caused. Join the Patreon or Newsletter to be notified about updates. Paid Patreon members will get early draft previews, as well as a free digital copy when it's done.

Spread the word about School Survival

This site's purpose is to raise awareness of the fact that schools are brainwashing, cookie-cutter hell-holes. There are a few things you can do to help.

Link to us

You can find a lot of banners you can use on this page. Or just use plain regular normal links on your blog/site/Myspace/whatever.

Social Bookmarking

Use the "Add This" button on the right sidebar to send any page of this site to the social bookmarking sites that you use (digg.com, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon etc).

Forums

If you often visit forums, search them for any posts people have made about school. Every now and then, someone gets really frustrated about school and posts about it on whichever forum they happen to be on. This is a good time to reply to them, assure them there's nothing wrong with hating school, let them know about some alternatives, and maybe paste a few quotes or links to articles.

A few good quotes you could use:

"There is nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school" - George Bernard Shaw (Nobel Prize winner)

"The classroom's the last room to get the truth" - Rage Against The Machine

"I hated school so intensely. It interfered with my freedom" - Sigrid Undset (Nobel Prize winner)

"I think we've tied acquiring knowledge too much to school" - Arno Penzias (Nobel Prize winner)

"All people found guilty of being born are sentenced to 12 years of hard labour without bail" - SoulRiser

Banners

Put any of the banners from this page on your site. Your site can be about anything. In fact, it's good if people looking for all sorts of other things like games or music find a School Survival banner there. A text link will do fine too :D

Other stuff

If you post on forums a lot, put a link to www.school-survival.net in your signature.
If you find an interesting news article on another site, post it in School Survival's news section.
If you find a great site also about school, add it to the Anti-School Directory. Mostly I email the owners of sites and tell them that their site is in the ASD, and ask them to link back.
Print or write www.school-survival.net on a lot of small pieces of paper, and shove them inside random library books (hey, it's a free bookmark).
Order something from the store and wear it a lot (this isn't about the money, just about spreading the word - you could also download the logo's and designs from this page and print them yourself.).

Wallpaper

Set any of these wallpapers as your background, or send them to people that you think will like them.

Spread the Guide around

Download the School Survival Guide and send it to everyone you know, post it on text sites, forums, print it (or parts of it) and hand it out at school, etc. The latest version of the Guide is:
school_survival_guide_v1-3.zip - Version 1.3

Ribbons

Everyone's seen the blue Free Speech ribbon at some point. But there's a gray one for Anti-School and a purple one for Anti-Uniform as well. If you put them on your page, be sure to link them to an appropriate page on this site, and specify what they represent. Here they are:

Anti-School
[originated at School Blows]

Anti-Uniform
[originated at Anti-Uniform HQ]
