#Government and Private Schools

i need to stop crying about this election result [x]

[hajihiko]

Here is my explanation for that, in a v recent insta reply

Average joe parents are powerless in the face of a giant corporation. Similarly with Sato's parents, the Kuzuryuu parents, and anyone else who lost their life while within Hope's Peak's reach.

YOURE RICH?????????

In Philippine standards? very much. Internationally though I would be considered upper middle class.

Like my parents have enough money to live comfortably for several generations rich but we live pretty humbly. Mostly cause of religious purposes a lot of their earnings go to the less privileged family members of ours for education.

I try not to dig into their pockets too much though, hence why i wanted a scholarship in my coleg and am trying to gun for a full ride scholarship in ASMPH if not 75%

My Canadian followers please never forget that even the “truth” part of truth and reconciliation is a sham because all levels of government still refuse to acknowledge that there were way more than 139 residential schools as they intentionally left those that were provincially or privately funded out of the TRC settlement agreement

Oh no, private school that have to pay taxes, how are we ever going to recover from this

[siveine]

i think im so nervous about finishing my contract because i wont know what to do with myself afterwards. like, sure theyve forgotten about me and nearly abandoned me, and im quite literally being used then thrown away, but after i get my discharge papers im going to be without purpose again and i dont know if i can do it a second time

it does seem like poetic justice that england always do incredibly badly in international competitions of sports we invented

Show me the round bird plushy, now!!!

Ahaha, here you go!

It was for our art and crafts class, where teacher basically told us to create whatever for the final grade xD I am serious. I decided to make a plushie. Made several mistakes on the way because I kept misunderstanding how to move the print to the fabric and kept accidentally mirroring it!

Fun fact - I still have this fabric! I'll tell you more - the pattern inspired this dress for my old OC, Maybell:

All in all, that class was fun.... almost. I dreaded the fact that they had a split, where girls had a class for sewing and knitting and even cooking, but boys had a class for carving wood, and creating and putting together and fixing furniture, learning how to use tools etc. Basically, in where I live, art and craft class is actually 'useful life skills' class, but why THE fuck it had to be split? Everyone can learn to both cook + fix their clothes and make furniture + fix broken shit, regardless of gender, so I've always been bitter about cultivation of dependence on another gender like that. Like, it is not just gender stereotypes, but also cultivating heteronormativity, with the idea of families of men and women that can't and should not (!!!) have a skill another has :/ We were only kids! :<

But yeah, you already know that my country is barbaric and backwards-developing. You are looking at the only good thing that came out from that fundamentally wrong class xd

Ok tumblr, having seen one of the most stupid, godawful election takes I expect to see this whole night - from a blog I usually trust for good takes! - I'm gonna try to steer clear for a bit. How easily people who are worried about trans rights under labour (who look to have the first elected trans candidate coming on the isle of wight!) forget the genuine fear of many jewish members under the previous leader, and the previous leader's continued dismissal of their fears.

its a well known fact that the education system as it stands is a privilege only few can afford (at least beyond mandatory education levels & even that is questionable) but like. 400eu / month for a year or more for uni exam prep for a * chance * to get a grade good enough to enter ? absolute bullshit. its either that or youre stuck with some greek open university (which are very often badly organized, poorly funded & have limited courses) or tuition based programs. the latter of which cost an arm and a leg anyway. like sorry im poor i guess. i;ll go kms

[thebookworm0001]

loving how my state is about to pass something actively takes away massive amounts of money from public schools in order to funnel it into private schools with none of the oversight or obligations that public education has also while public educators are screaming about how underfunded and underresourced we are

I have nothing against private education until it’s being used to destroy one of the most important foundations of our society and, you know, the shit that keeps me fed and clothed

[wigglesforsquiggles]

Wow okay if I was a carrot I’d be quaking in my boots rn

it was a long and torturous death, accompanied by the sweet sweet sound of my friend and i trying to figure out the number of different types of schools in england

[solemntitty]

i need y'all to know i listened to this on repeat in sophomore year of high school while my anxiety ridden ass was studying my butt off for my ap european exam while also drinking a shitton of irish breakfast tea (super caffeinated for again, my anxious ass). i got a 5 on the exam but at what fucking cost

[memenewsdotcom]

Clarence Thomas let donor pay for kid's private school

[makur0]

i wanted to ask what kind of things they teach you in catholic school but as someone who went to school near the Vatican I also know very questionable things so

im not going to ask

my school we do mass once or twice a month which is pure torture. we have to sit through an HOUR of a homily. sometimes we have days of services- no classes, just speeches, sitting, speeches, praying. (somehow through a homily I learned that Aaron judge bakes brownies and cookies)

retreats, we go to nature reserves and pray and sing about god and all

and uh. you know, abortion is wrong, wedlock, basically every single fucking rule written in exodus (exaggeration but similar)

and you know what’s funny? half of the schools population is literally gay.
