do i regret doing well enough in 7th grade that i ended up being transferred to the first section in 8th grade? NOPE cause where else would i encounter overworked students that still want to produce outputs worthy of grammy and tony awards while still managing to carry the entire school's reputation when it comes to winning every single competition available WHILE still managing to somehow perfectly replicate the vocals and choreography of kpop songs thus turning everyone and ESPECIALLY THE STRAIGHT BOYS into kpop stans while also being sent to the principal's office multiple times for tweets ranting about schoom policies and managing to escape unscathed because the school cannot afford to punish any of them because that would be equivalent to self-sabotage. am i resentful of the stress the first-section-treatment gave me and the rest of my classmates due to forced adherence to unhealthy academic quotas which then strengthened the already rampant social hierarchy obsession present in the section which made my 8th grade experience a living hell? ABSOLUTELY-

#so now you guys know one of the main plot-driving conflicts to my Grade 11 musical idea thingy #i actually wated to make a research paper on this back in 10th grade #on how um systems like these alienate the students from one another and bring even more stress on the students #who are subtly urged to turn everythjng into a competition just for the sake of maximum productivity #which then reinforces the mindset of considering everyone a threat to their own academic standings #while also viewing those outside of the first section as inferior to them because well that's what their teachers keep telling them #that they are the 'cream of the cream of the crop' and that their outputs and behavior should reflect that #this also leads to the lower sections resenting those in the upper sections because of constant comparison #made by teachers and because most of them are deprived of opportunities to participate in competitions #because most of the opportunities go to the first sectioners who are deemed as the 'more superior and worthy' students #i could go on and on about this but i would reach the tag limit in like 3 minutes or so fhdhdh #so um yea as a student who first started out as a lower sectioner who then got transferred to the first section #and stayed there for 2 years #and then got removed from the sec (by unfair means because the new principal took a bribe) during my last year in the school #YEAA I HAVE A LOT TO RANT ABOUT #i still miss my first section classmates tho aaa they were cool #i'm grateful for the experience and the friends and the good shit but um not for the psychological and emotional damage jdjs #well to be fair all of the kids in the first sec suffered some sort of um emotional damage due to the system so um yea therapy pls #anyways that's the end of the sentimental rambles for today cause i really need to sleep now jdjsj #i dunno my brain is a lot more active than usual so um here we go you guys get these long ass tag rambles and i'm very very sorry #personal shit
