Thanks for the journal comment. You can't really say school isn't pointless if you haven't walked in the shoes of someone who doesn't belong there. For some people school is fun and a great way to catch up and for others school is something they have to do so they don't get in trouble. Once you've walked in the shoes of people who feel left out then give me a call.
I don't expect the teacher to "hold my hand" But it would be nice if he expanded his way of teaching. He makes things seem inpossible when they really aren't. Again, you can't say anything because you don't know my teacher.
