school is cool?Or no?

I'm 11 years old. School is useless and sucks. Every day, I have to wake up VERY early and endure a whole morning of boring and pointless lessons. In English lessons, all we learn are how to use the simplest articles which we learn every year. In Maths the teacher spends most of the lesson talking about her day, her family and friends. In Science lessons the teacher whose English no one understands talks about off-topic stuffs like what subjects we can study in college instead of what we're supposed to learn (planets, which I learnt 3 years ago). The science curriculum is unbelievably simple. We don't have geography, history, physics, chemistry, biology or foreign language lessons. We don't have field trips either. There are lots of silly moral lessons, immature talks meant for babies and childish activities. Most astonishingly, the school is a prestigious school known for quality education. But at least I get to see my friends, which is cool. And I should be grateful that I have the chance to go to school.

In contrast, online school was wonderful and exciting. We actually learn things. I love online school but hate face-to-face school.
School *is* cool, as it keeps your health good.

Take it from someone who's not (consistently) gone to school since they were 9: My bad health's hold me back in: Chess; Video games; Rickrolls :(

Considering how good I already am, who knows how amazing of a Rickroller I'd have been if I never dropped out? ;)
School is cool and sometimes with a lot work to do it's not but it's still cool when the teacher appreciate it
@MiauiKatze for You what does it mean to be educated? do You feel educated already ar close to call Yourself an educated person? just wondering :)
school is a waste of time and resources and it crushes the spirit of the the youth. nothing you learn in school aside from reading and writing is even remotely useful in your adult life.

In your case, maybe, but not in mine.

11 year olds are supposed to be in Kid Mode.
Are you hoping for other 11 year olds to start chatting with you?
