sChOOL stuff

So I just watched this sick video that my friend Ari Stoner posted on his facebook profile. It was pretty interesting and its about how school is largely incorrect in the way its trying to teach us things, yeah i mean it was a lot of complaining and not a lot of suggested changes, but all in all i thought it was really interesting.
heres the link to it, i hope it works, you should totally watch it its really interesting, reminds me alot of my class time last year with ms. haffley my english teacher from junior year.

we talked about a lot of similar things, about how the conventional methods of education only work for a small percentage of people. I know first hand about that being somebody who has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DISORDER. The thing that pisses me off the most is that scientists and researchers and human pathology experts are actually narrow-minded enough to assume that they understand what my brain should function like when there are more possible neuron connections in the human brain than there are stars in our universe. I cannot stand being medicated, because although it brings me what others perceive to stability and conventionality, there is a certain amount of identity theft that happens in the process. I oftentimes feel like the only acceptable me, is the one thats taking 9 pills a day. If God created me to be just the way I am, like my parents have always told me, then why am I being medicated for being unconventional?
