So it's a rant, not really a guide... And it's a rant that narrowly bypasses the word filter twice. >_>

Not to sound like a troll, but really, Brenmac could afford to be a little more mature. Yes, public schools are horrible (hence why I'm now homeschooled). But Brenmac seems to have made it out to be a lot worse than it really is. (For the rest of this comment, "you" refers to Brenmac for the sake of convenience.)

For one thing, you imply there aren't rules for threatening and bullying? Yes, there are, I guarantee you. Check your school's handbook again. The thing is, if no one gets caught, no one gets punished. So just always try to make sure whoever's doing it gets caught. Or, you know, you can just report them.

As for homework, it is ridiculous, but you can use class time to do it (I don't care if they say it isn't allowed, just don't get caught). Homework is actually why I asked my parents to take me out of public school (but I didn't pick up a gun and shoot up the school ).

I'm totally not getting what you're saying with step 3; how do teachers parent you?

Step 4 I found rather hypocritical, given that you haven't sounded particularly civil yourself throughout this "guide". And honestly, I doubt all your classmates are morons (there's a word you could've used instead of bypassing the filter): have you even tried to get to know them? You don't know who could be a good friend. Besides, am I really supposed to believe that you're somehow better than everyone else in your school? That's a typical cynic right there, complaining about the world as if everyone is below him.

The cafeteria cooks are paid to prepare frozen food and sell it to children who couldn't be bothered to make their own lunch. Blame the people who are selling them the food, not the cooks or the school itself. And if it's really so much of a problem, just bring a brown-bag lunch. Seriously.

Schools do have a right to take away your freedom of expression. The only people who, by law, cannot take away your rights are the government. That's it. The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Re-read the Constitution.

Also, throughout this rant you use the phrase "in for a payday". So would you rather have people volunteer to educate you and feed you at school? Because trust me, then you would be a lot worse off.

Anyway, that's my take on this. If anyone takes the time to read it and take it to heart, hopefully it will have really made school better for you instead of just complaining about how bad it is.

You know, now that I think about it, and even though Brenmac is a friend of mine, well.... the guy above does have a point.

Not on top of his head, either.

Yeah,you guys are right. I acted like a screaming kid there. I think the reason is because I hate school and I've always wanted to tear it to shreds. I really want to do HDGs on TV Shows and Movies,things like that. Expect the next one to be posted this Thursday,and a week later,a 2-in-1 special.

I might end up sending the guides to MT via PM,and can post the guides here as individual blog entries.
