That was great insight into how fucked up the whole system can be.

Nearing the last few years of my secondary school, we got a new head teacher.
He decided the school needed major improvements - this meant building 8 ft security fences round the school perimeter, installing about 15 cctv cameras, and making all the gates to the school electro magnetically operated. Being in school felt like being locked in some strange prison every week, the only privileges we got was be able to leave during lunch time, which i remember as the best times of being at school.

You really do start to realise how much bullshit they teach you aswell, compulsory learning or stuff youll never need to know, higher maths! Fucking waste of time. I hated all those academic subjects, and now that im in 6th form college i get to do 3 subjects of my choice, Art, Photography, and Geography (only because you have to do 3 to stay in the college). I love it so much more now, and your basically free to do what you want.

Thanks for the read, and hope you come back to the city one day.
