To speak or not to speak - that is the question

When pondering a encounter that occurred nearly two years ago I remember this: being shocked to learn something that is not okay by society's standards and even more so being shocked to know this when some very much closer to it were clueless.

Which leads to the question of which is better:
To know or not to know?

Would it be better to know the wrongs of those who live around you and shape your life and who's behavior you mirror OR to live in blissful ignorance about an occurrence you never knew to happen by a person you wouldn't suspect it from?

What if others you knew, who didn't know the person as well, knew of the actions and not the person?

To be perfectly honest I was happier not knowing but upon knowing I was better able to judge character and explain several other occurrences. But I was not effected daily... In those circumstances is painful knowledge worth knowing?

Back to Blogger?

Good morning to my loyal readers who obviously are a figment of my imagination. This is theurv checking it at 1:01 AM this lovely Tuesday morning because Bio is obviously not worth it and I appear to once again have writer's block when it comes to my thesis. Thus here I am. Creating a new blog to reintroduce myself to blogger which I once used a few years ago and lost track of with the joys of LiveJournal.

So tonight's random topic is the pointlessness of school.

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy learning. I'm not generally a trouble maker in class or any of that nonsense, but as an observation- going to school is not worth it. OUTSIDE of school I may work hard and prove that I am making progress towards some greater goal, but inside of school I'm wasting my time and teachers are aiding me in that process.

Civics. Something we should all know about. But 4 movies a week is a pattern we seem to be falling into, and thus I could stay at home and watch TV without making the state pay for it and further my education along just as well.

Bio AP. I've taken this class before. I've passed on the college level, my high school grade however was subpar due to not doing the busy work. And thus I'm back to do the busy work and not learning too much if anything.

Physics. What a waste of time. Oversimplified projects that do not apply the concepts in any educational way are all that fill the remaining time left.

Photography. Our portfolios are being graded. We are waiting for said grades with nothing to do but clean the room. What fun.

Health. I have independent study. Thus I do nothing.

AP Lit. Film study = review film terms I already know while watching movies without talking about application of the material we should be learning.

Acting II. One Act play is coming along however lines need to be solidified. However once again there is little being done with the director if anything, thus class is wasteful.

However I arrive home and I've got a list of 20 or more things which need to be done, and I'm busy till after 1am everyday at bare minimum. Such a waste.

Oh well, that's life.
