SOCRATIC SEMINARS ARE NOT FUCKING HELPFUL AT ALL
(Background) - for those who are unaware of what a Socratic Seminar is, it is where a group of students in class sit in a circle and discuss a topic given by the teacher/professor. This discussion is student led which means you have to talk on your own you have no cue. As an introvert, this is DEATH. Here is my two cents. SOCRATIC SEMINARS ARE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. I AM VERY INTROVERTED MEANING THAT I CANNOT RAISE MY VOICE OVER OTHERS, I JUST CANNOT. THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE WHO WILL TALK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD GRADE. THE GRADING IS BASED OFF OF HOW MUCH PEOPLE TALK. THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT BECAUSE I CANNOT TALK. IT IS SO FUCKING UNFAIR TO THOSE LIKE ME WHO HATE PEOPLE. I CANNOT INITIATE CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE. I COULD LITERALLY TRY TO ASK A QUESTION THAT I SPENT HOURS WORKING ON ONLY FOR SOME BITCH TO ASK IT. OF COURSE THEY WILL GET A HIGHER GRADE BECAUSE THEY TALKED. THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST WAY TO MEASURE HOW MUCH A STUDENT HAS LEARNED. LIKE EVEN A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF THE CLASS IS FUCKING BETTER SINCE YOU HAVE A SET PLACE TO TALK. OH AND DON'T FORGET WHEN THE TEACHER AT THE END IS LIKE "IF ANYONE HASN'T SPOKEN YET, PLEASE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DO SO." GUESS WHAT, EVERY HEAD, EVERY EYEBALL IS NOW POINTED IN MY DIRECTION. THIS ISN'T EVEN A CHANCE FOR ME TO TALK BECAUSE EITHER ALL OF THESE **** HAVE TAKEN MY IDEAS OR I GET SO NERVOUS THAT I CAN'T PHYSICALLY USE MY VOICE. JUST LITERALLY MAKE THEM DO AN ESSAY SO EVERYONE HAS A COMFORTABLE SPOT AND NOT DIE FROM A GODDAMN HEART ATTACK.anonymous School February 05, 2020 at 1:03 am 1 0

He was however kind enough to give me a C when I didn't do enough homework. I had moved twice in highschool and was suffering from insane depression.
University is better. If this is a Uni class: you could maybe drop it? but we never had to do that bullshit in any college I went to.
School is fucked: you can excel at a topic only to have shit teachers push you down. Ugh. I believe in you! We read some stupid book and my contribution was taken as a joke... during the fucking socratic method bullshit. then, weeks later, my next big contribution was filled with profanity the class liked that one.
Society is wank lol. But you will get through it :) Only weak people need the approval of others: only morons draw anything from sitting in a circle. Find your strengths and push yourself as hard as you can! Beat the blubbering idiots by creating your own game! I am still crafting my direction: best start early. I didn't know what to do with life until my mid-20s: at which point I kept finding roadblocks.
Get ANY DEGREE that pays. You can always go back: get the money first! Fuck arts and history and all of that. You can study them for pleasure: go for the money so you are free. Once you have a bank roll
you can do what you want how you want to do it. Don't listen to teachers: they all hate their lives. You are made of greater things. Introverts rule the world and all of the snakes and jesters simply want to keep you down. Don't let them. You are better than them! Most relationships end in regret. Most people are untrustworthy.
You don't need them: they need you. Keep your karmic debt at 0: do not give yourself away and do not take from others. All chalices are poisoned. Be free! Escape this writhing bag of bullshit. The end has no end
