idk who needs to hear this but memorizing shit in school doesnt make you smart
#did you actually absorb what is said? do you have the critical thinking ability to notice when something might be false and look up#if it is- further educating yourself? would you be able to hold your own in a debate around the subject or just repeat useless facts?#do you ever actually research the thing out of genuine interest to form and actual well rounded opinion on it by taking in all the facts#and opinions of others to form your own opinion?#or do you you just parrot everything you see? what a good lil parrot you are! polly want a cracker?#you're so very good and smart and obedient aren't you!#i was pretty bad at school bc i was shit at memorizing things and thats like the sole thing it bases your intelligence off of#so these mfs come out of school thinking they're smart until like 5 years out of school they cant remember shit#bc it was all memorization rather than a passion for learning @-@;;#i'll say- nothing about school and how it tried to force interest in me ever worked. i do not do obedience. i get interested bc I want to#not bc i have to. and thats a lot of the reason i failed in school.#well. that and trauma shit going on at the time which makes it even HARDER to want to learn new stuff#bc all you're thinking about is survival :|#but otherwise yeah- i've learned and retained so much more about stuff i'm able to develop a passion for rather than being forced#to memorize- which like i said i just cant do. after dropping out and giving myself time to actually heal from trauma-#i've learned so much more about shit from subjects in school i'd normally be failing at.#i love learning. i dont like being ordered around.
