castielific: wolfinthethorns: Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it. A heavy dose of Existentialist “create your own Purpose” tempered with “when the plane’s going down, put your own oxygen mask on first”, but… yeah, there is no ethical way to work on individual emotional distress without acknowledging the systemic socioeconomic, geopolitical fuckery going on at the moment, and the sheer grief that comes with it. I’m a guidance counselor/psychologist for teenagers and it’s getting really hard to motivate young people to work for a future they don’t believe in.   They look at ther future and see global warming, wwIII, unemployement, political unstability, poison in everything  they eat, the earth and animals dying all around them.  I saw this video where someone was asking french teens in the 50s how they imagine the future would be. The war hadn’t been over for long and yet it was all positive with like peace and flying cars and such. Then they went and ask the same questions to nowadays teens and hell that was depressing. Some still had hope, but it was just that “well I hope I’ll have a nice house and maybe some kid” but there was such a hesitancy to it, like they didn’t dare to hope too much.  People mock Greta Thunberg but what they don’t get is that when she said “you stole my dreams”, it was the truth.  Young people don’t get to dream like they used to. They don’t dream anymore, they grief all that won’t be anymore and that’s just so fucking sad.  : castielific: wolfinthethorns: Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it.

My terrible school newspaper. It's entirely opinionated and there are no factual articles. They print like 200 of these a month and no one reads them. Most of them just go in the recycling bin.: Vat 2.3 NAMF 307 4 Opinion Opinion November 26, 2019 College Board is November 26, 2019 creativity scam kills School you decide to back out, you can cancel the registration but also for a late fee, which causes you to lose $40. This is highly inconvenient, as many canalready see. Many students are skeptical about AP exams, and understandably want to take exams that they feel confident in scoring a 4 or a 5 on. This is a large sum of "THIS OPENION IS becomes very difficult to bring your grade up. Additionally, if you fail a test or do very poorly, you never re- ally go back and fix those mistakes, you just move on to the next chapter and hope to do better on that one. If you get lucky and do test correc- tions, you may understand how to do the questions on that test, but no one really cares if you have truly understood theconcepts behind them or if you will ever remember how to solve those types of questions later on. The most unfortunate part of this is that we still use grades to measure A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO BE We all know about College Board, the company overseeing all of our AP exams, SAT Subject Tests, and SAT exams. If you were to search "College Board" on Google, the first thing that would come up is that it is a "non-profit organization", despite the millions of dollars it racks up from test registration fees. This year, College Board also worth, not waste possibly hundreds changed its AP exam registration of dollars on something that would process. In the past, students enrolled in AP courses could pay and register for the May AP exams in the March lege Board is trying profit as much before This would givestudents time to know how they are performing in edgeof deciding whether or not they thosedasses todecidewhetherornot OPINION "UNTIL LEARN- As young children, everyone is born with an innate sense of curiosity and excitement. When I was a little girl, I used to love learning, and I would say truthfully that I loved going to school, because Igot to learn new things every day. Over time, however, I have noticed that slowly, that love and enthusiasm that I had ING BECOMES THE PAYING FOR A SINGLE money to be paying for a single test, so most would wish to get their money's PRIORITY OVER TEST" for learning has faded into monotony, and I have seen the same sort of lead to no positive outcomes. This new policy makes it seem like Col- GRADES, SCHOOL decline in my peers as well. I do not think that the reason for this is merely that we have grown up; I think that it is the school system and the larger educational system that we are in. In school, we are not allowed to take risks or be creative. Every single thing that we do is graded and as- sessed. Especially in English and oc- casionally history classes, where the material is more subjective, the objec- tive of the student is not to think out of the box about different interpreta- tions and perspectives, but instead to somehow predict what their teacher wants to hear. If a student attempts to do anything differently, they are punished with a bad grade which will inevitably affect their average in the class, as well as their overall GPA. Instead ofexploring their more creative sides, students are forced rescored. This gives no insight into how the students performed, or any indication of how they could improve for future examinations. Even with this large fee, students aren't able to see exactly how well they did, only a single number from one to five. It's justonenumber, noteven where com- pared to the four range, for example, their score fell. Given the money that families spend on these exams, more student score analysis should be given. One may also argue that these someone's intelligence. Being smart does not mean that you get good grades, and getting good grades does not mean that you are smart. What does "smart" even mean? as possible, to make students on the make you stupid. The SAT is an exam many students take multiple times in WILL NEVER BE want to take the test to pay earlier. Even when the students get their hopes of getting a satisfactory score they are happy with. This also results in more money being poured into the College Board, still a non-profit organization. SAT registration also has late registration, meaning that you can opt to take the test after the deadline, but for a late registration fee. The regular deadlines are quite early. For the December 14 test date, registrations were due by November 8. However, late registrations span until late November. During this time, students must pay an extra $30 late fee for the test. A $50 test can rise they want to take the exam for college THE MENTALLY credit. From now on, students have AP soores back, there is basically to register in October, months before no extra information on their per- the original registration dates. This formances on the website. Students means that if you have any thoughts and their families would have to pay of taking an exam, you would have extra fees to get their short answer response booklets back, or to get their multiple choice sections simply It just means that one has a talent for completing schoolwork and for answering test questions. What it does not mean that someone with ENRICHING AND that talent is somehow more valuable thansomeone with a talent forsports to pay the $94 fee for every exam you plan to take. If for some reason 66 or music or art or for communicat- ing with others. Having bad grades does not make you a failure, but it LIFE-GIVING INSTI- "COLLEGE BOARD, tests can be used for college credit, 6. so the price is not too bad. However, is the mentality of our education system that makes it seem that way. Leaming is something that should be fun, but school makes it a chore. TUTION THAT IT most colleges are not very accept- ing of AP credits, resulting in many of them being somewhat useless. The SAT's are also a big deal for EVEN WHILE CLAIMING OUGHT TO BE." Firstly, there are so many classes that everyone is forced to take in order to graduate. After slogging through the work in all of your classes, you to an $80 one quite quickly. These fees are negatively impactful on families, who may not have the luxury to pay for these exams so often. Fee waiver TO BE 'NON-PROFIT’ highschool students, since the major- ity of students, if not almost all, take the SAT exam at least once for their to simply memorize the way things should be done in accordance to that teacher's preferences in order to get good grades. Even supposedly "open-ended" assignments are never really so; there is still a "right" and "wrong" way to do them, and if you donot fit the unwritten requirements, you will not do well, and of course there is an increasing pressure to do well as time goes on to get into are available, but many families aren't eligible, but also can't be too comfortable paying for these exams. College Board, even while claim- ing to be "non-profit", receives millions of dollars each year in have a tiny window of time to focus am doing all of these things because someone told me thatit would be im- portant for my future and useful for college and my career. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that it is making me miserable now. How often do high school students look at an assignmentand feel excited about learning whatever it has to offer? I cannot recall the last time I have felt that way in the last five or so years.

This is highly inconvenient, as many canalready see. Many students are skeptical about AP exams, and understandably want to take exams that they feel confident in scoring a 4 or a 5 on. This is a large sum of "THIS OPENION IS becomes very difficult to bring your grade up. Additionally, if you fail a test or do very poorly, you never re- ally go back and fix those mistakes, you just move on to the next chapter and hope to do better on that one. If you get lucky and do test correc- tions, you may understand how to do the questions on that test, but no one really cares if you have truly understood theconcepts behind them or if you will ever remember how to solve those types of questions later on. The most unfortunate part of this is that we still use grades to measure A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO BE We all know about College Board, the company overseeing all of our AP exams, SAT Subject Tests, and SAT exams. If you were to search "College Board" on Google, the first thing that would come up is that it is a "non-profit organization", despite the millions of dollars it racks up from test registration fees. This year, College Board also worth, not waste possibly hundreds changed its AP exam registration of dollars on something that would process.

Over time, however, I have noticed that slowly, that love and enthusiasm that I had ING BECOMES THE PAYING FOR A SINGLE money to be paying for a single test, so most would wish to get their money's PRIORITY OVER TEST" for learning has faded into monotony, and I have seen the same sort of lead to no positive outcomes. This new policy makes it seem like Col- GRADES, SCHOOL decline in my peers as well. I do not think that the reason for this is merely that we have grown up; I think that it is the school system and the larger educational system that we are in. In school, we are not allowed to take risks or be creative. Every single thing that we do is graded and as- sessed. Especially in English and oc- casionally history classes, where the material is more subjective, the objec- tive of the student is not to think out of the box about different interpreta- tions and perspectives, but instead to somehow predict what their teacher wants to hear. If a student attempts to do anything differently, they are punished with a bad grade which will inevitably affect their average in the class, as well as their overall GPA. Instead ofexploring their more creative sides, students are forced rescored. This gives no insight into how the students performed, or any indication of how they could improve for future examinations. Even with this large fee, students aren't able to see exactly how well they did, only a single number from one to five. It's justonenumber, noteven where com- pared to the four range, for example, their score fell. Given the money that families spend on these exams, more student score analysis should be given. One may also argue that these someone's intelligence. Being smart does not mean that you get good grades, and getting good grades does not mean that you are smart. What does "smart" even mean? as possible, to make students on the make you stupid. The SAT is an exam many students take multiple times in WILL NEVER BE want to take the test to pay earlier. Even when the students get their hopes of getting a satisfactory score they are happy with. This also results in more money being poured into the College Board, still a non-profit organization. SAT registration also has late registration, meaning that you can opt to take the test after the deadline, but for a late registration fee. The regular deadlines are quite early. For the December 14 test date, registrations were due by November 8. However, late registrations span until late November. During this time, students must pay an extra $30 late fee for the test.

From now on, students have AP soores back, there is basically to register in October, months before no extra information on their per- the original registration dates. This formances on the website. Students means that if you have any thoughts and their families would have to pay of taking an exam, you would have extra fees to get their short answer response booklets back, or to get their multiple choice sections simply It just means that one has a talent for completing schoolwork and for answering test questions.

These fees are negatively impactful on families, who may not have the luxury to pay for these exams so often.

I don't know if that is true, but I do know that it is making me miserable now. How often do high school students look at an assignmentand feel excited about learning whatever it has to offer?
