I honestly don’t regret being a rebellious, underachieving student in high school. It wasn’t until high school that I said, “fuck it.” I didn’t do homework, didn’t pay attention in class, skipped classes when I could, didn’t follow the rules, and drew in class wanting to focus on art. Art was the only class in high school I actually got A’s in. However, the 12th grade came along and I actually applied myself then and got A’s, B’s, and C’s just so I could graduate. Afterwards, I didn’t go to college. Why the hell would I want more of the bullshit I just went through, this time it actually costing money? I made the best decision of my life by joining the Air Force. Stayed in 8 years, got permanent disability pay for life, and now I’m still working for the government. One of the most secure jobs someone can get. I’ve seen the world, experienced amazing things, and learned more than I would have ever learned in school.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

High school is completely useless. I believe that even though I taught for 7 years. It cannot be assumed that anyone will be able to afford college. For that simple reason every high school student should be taught a manual trade so that they can earn a living and not be reduced to minimum wage retail or restaurant table service for tips. Then in addition to that high school kids should be given cultural enrichment and intramural athletics playing on teams ungraded or in other words auditing only. Then if they wish to attend college they may sign up for the college boards. Teachers should not be assigning grades or comparing the kids with each other assigning rankings and so forth. Pursuing formal education to the reductio ad absurdum of the Ph.D degree is asinine for the simple reason that most college instructors are part time adjuncts with no benefits. So why would anyone want to go into such a ridiculous line of work? Normal down to earth people would rather learn a skill to earn a high hourly wage and then leave their miserable jobs behind for the evening/weekend when they clock out.

[@rendermepretty]

​@@marcmeinzer8859YES. I'm in 11th grade right now and that really describes what is going on. The school bricks us up in a box and if you move the bricks, you get hurt. That's why I like my innovation class, us students are told we need to get an outcome (such as data from students about a certain topic) we then work as a class, no teacher and come up with ways to do this (we decided on online surveys, as well as going around the school and interviewing people during class) I'm shy and doing all this was very scary. But I noticed even the extraverted people were afraid, to move the bricks. This class taught us a way to do this so we don't get hurt. Humans can be awesome but I think the worst thing we created was society, it just sucks.

Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. ❤❤

dont even go to school, all you do there is learn useless stuff to pass requirements. its ineffective education and doesnt really teach much about life applications because the purpose of school is to qualify you for diploma so you could get job and get life, but does it teach you experience? how to handle money or how to apply knowledge? nope, they teach you about mitrochondrions and that power of x to a equals b. trust me, you could be more successful in life if you quit high school (depending on the circumstances, your direction and mindset), if youre totally okay with school then you could get an average life in the future, if youre not and want to drop out, consider the options of work experience, they will help you not just in life but your career and focus in education. if your focus is into memorizing maths and numbers and getting good grades, you're done before you even enter college. if you work, you will realize the value of education, how you should take it to your advantage and not use it for some test bullshit. have a good day, ill let you think the rest of it.

I think the main problem is forgetting. people have life outside school, and remembering everything for every subject for ever is impossible. Most students forget the knowledge they learn after an exam. Why? because you don't need it, and there are 80 new things to learn. You will never forget how to write/read/do basic math ( I am talking - + * /) because you actually need that in life and use it daily. But school encourages learning for exams to forget shortly after if you want to maintain good grades while focusing on thing you want to focus home.

when i was in second and third grade, i went to a montessori school, it was a private school, and the system was completely different. we actually learned real life skills in a way that small kids could grasp easily. we didn't have classrooms, we were in a house that was renovated to be wide open and there was a kitchen. it was all independent work, we wandered freely, we were supposed to take out a rug, take out a tray with a "work" on it, and then we'd lay out the pieces how they were supposed to go (for example: matching term cards to definition cards, it was usually more interesting but that's the only kind of work i remember) then we'd get a teacher to look at it and sign our work plan. at least once a day someone would turn the rainstick and we all circled up for a meeting and the teacher would teach something new or maybe just have a talk. lunch was an hour long, a student was chosen to do the dishes after lunch, and we had nap time after that and we could make requests for classical music. if you were asleep at the end of nap time, they let you sleep. there were flower beds outside and we each had a section where we could grow things, i grew a hybrid plant and harvested multiple squashes and a watermelon. we did hands on activities together sometimes, like going out to a field and unrolling a giant black rope with a tiny strip of white at the end to show how old the universe was compared to the earth. they also took us on walks to pull weeds and return shopping carts. there was a chicken coop, and we hatched chickens in an incubator, named them, and cared for them. we did art projects and creative writing all the time. a lot of things i needed for high school came from montessori too, like the periodic table or biological concepts like producer, consumer, decomposer. sometimes we played the matter game where the teacher would call out "solid!" and we had to stand close together and vibrate or "gas!" and we all ran around really fast. i think more schools should be like this, and it sucks it only went up through sixth grade, there should be a less childish but similar approach for us high schoolers too

I’m kinda interested in snakes so I thought I would do my presentation on the effect of different snake venoms on the body. So I create the slides, with jokes, less words and more pictures, i memorize all the lines, try to have comedy to make it as engaging and entertaining as I can in about 3 minutes. It goes very well I got the entire room laughing, I even got the teacher laughing at my snake jokes (my teacher almost never laughs at anything so this was a huge accomplishment). I felt very proud, and I went back to my table and everyone there was like “good job, and it wasn’t boring at all”. Compared to other presentations which were them just reading off text from a white background. I got my grade, and it was a 22/25, which is a 88% for a final, which is good, yeah. But his comments were “you have to many jokes, be more serious”. The thing about a 22/25 is I had a group presentation before that, and all I had to do was one slide where I just say like a paragraph, I have some notes on a notecard and I just said like a paragraph, It has some lame pictures on a white background, it got a 23/25. Me not even trying got a better grade then my final that was funny, engaging and I think I got a lot of points down, but this one paragraph on a white background did better then that. And it really made me just not feel good about the education system. (Sorry this is so long, I was really pissed, and I’m kinda ranting).

Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊

This school system really is fucked. I wake up at 6 am everyday (I’m a 7th grader) and go to school, and the fucking teachers expect me to pay attention while I’m a tired mess in the morning. You barely get any sleep, you have the stress of doing homework, and since I’m a kid that plays an instrument in band, I have to practice that too everyday for at least 30 min. It feels like school is just the same exact thing everyday, doing the same shit everyday, waking up, going to a building for 8 hours and come back like a tired slop, do homework and practice and eat and sleep then repeat. I have to do this shit over and over again until I earn a piece of paper with words saying "you graduated college" so I can get a job that is also probably as stressful as school, but at least you earn something from it other than a piece of paper with an A on it.

Unless they entierly rework special ed classes, those do absolutly nothing but treat nerodivergent/mentally disabled kids like burdons. i don't want to say i'm lucky that im "high funtcioning" (gag) but i really was better off in the traditional classroom in comparison to that

Due to the fact that im incapable of reaching higher grades than the ones i already own (and i have good grades, not even close to 0/100, as i dont have any F's), i've always been stuck, since i was little, with the mindset of seeing everyone as competition (which is not healthy at all for a teenager my age, im young and i don't want to be jealous of anybody or be malicious), due to my parents' urge to want me to be a "good student", comparing me to people i know merely because of a grade and saying that i "just didn't study hard enough" or "if i studied harder, i would've reached that grade" even tho i took my time to study, ignoring the fact that i could feel hurt, upset or feel like im not good enough, despite me trying my best to achieve that grade. In conclusion, they should really change the school system, as i would never had snapped out of this mindset if my friends didn't help me unfold what trutly matters.

I was almost always getting praise from teachers because I was apparently smart. I went from loving school and always having almost perfect attendance into having 42% for attendance. School was one of the reasons my depression got so bad. The type of school you go to also matters, in that case I was unlucky. The teachers were getting paid below minimum wage and my school is too close to shutting down. I look down at my legs now not to wonder, but to make sure it’s still moving, and that it stays that way. I still love learning, how could I hate it? But I wish I was actually taught things that would directly affect my life, instead of the roundabout way that schools usually do. The teachers just ask me what happened, how did I come to hate school, when I’m obviously “not a dumb student”. I can tell they’re tired of dealing with students with mental illnesses. Went from calling me bright and smart to “not dumb”. I miss being a child, too much that it hurts. Life sparkled in a way that made me interested in it. Everyday, every hour was for learning and getting familiar with life. Being young, I was unaware of the limits. Now all school reminds me of is limits. It hurts.

I’ve learned more things on the internet than I have at school to shape me who the man I am today. I have learned history, economics, and different political ideologies all on the internet, and I’m only in the seventh grade. Through my time of focusing, I have concluded that humans naturally are healthier and gain more experience in developing with the family, and learning actual useful things. After your abcs and 123s, school just pumps you up with useless things which will cause the student to be unhappy and stressed, which is bad for health, especially in a young student who their mind and body is still in development. Schools teach men not to be men, which spells a recipe for disaster, when you look at it in the long run, because families won’t develop without a true, strong man. Schools teach men and women to not defend themselves verbally and physically. I’ll provide an example for both. Ok so, someone in the hall randomly punches you, so you punch back, but you both still get the same punishment, which is suspension. The school wants you to rely on a higher authority for it to take care of all of your problems. And for the verbal part, if a teacher makes a shitty, dumbass move and then starts flaming you out, the second you respond, they will retreat to the old “stop talking back, that’s disrespect!!!!!!!” School doesn’t like free speech, they don’t want you to fend for yourself. That’s why schools are so cautious about their students going on the internet, because the internet can teach you valuable information, along with tactics to defend yourself verbally and physically. Good day.

when you find your passion or something you wanna do even for a short period, like getting to endgame on this game you've been playing or be one of the best in a pvp game (managed that one to a pretty decent degree, probably in the top 2000 best even tho I dont play it nearly as consistently) school just goes downhill, it requires all of your time in the day and if you dont give to school, you get a bad grade and paranoia of your parents grounding you for all of the time until your grades come out, then they were just fine and one week later after the first test you're back to stressing, which in turn makes you do worse at school.

Theres so many other things that has given me anxiety in school, when i had to talk infront of the whole class, when everyone in class was talking so loud that my mind could’nt even count to 3, when the cafeteria was so loud all my energy ran away, when i had to talk to my classmates in a group subject, when it felt like people thought i was weird because i wore the same clothes and had dirty hair, when i didnt know something but was to afraid to ask for help, etc. All that was happening almost every day for so many years. It all seems not so bad when i write it down, but because i was feeling anxiety so often it became something really big. I hate school because it made me hate life.

I used to go to a French school where I got so much homework. I was getting more homework that my sisters in high school, and I was in 3rd grade. They were pushing so much homework onto young children to "prepare" them for high school. I also remember stories my mother has told me about lack of adult awareness in the school. To be fair it was a poor area though, and they were doing their best. I eventually switched schools, though, and my only homework was reading for 6 hours a week. That was it, and it was great as I loved reading anyway, and I still do, so I often read way more then I had to. I feel like I learned a lot better without much homework, and my first school let me get away with so much bad behaviour and just being a brat. My switch helped me a lot with learning that I couldn't just cry to get through everything, as I had the right teacher. The fact is, it depends on the teacher who will make or break your experience. It also depends on the way the school is ran, and if if it has enough money, but really the teacher is going to change you, for the better or the worse. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Then I move to a different state, and history class is all about analyzing documents and writing paragraphs.

I remember this time in math when we learning this subject to solve questions and I understood nothing about what the teacher was saying. So, I used my own method. I got done really fast, and it was really simple for me to understand! It worked for almost all the problems, and I was super happy with what I had made. However, when the teacher saw it, she pushed me down and said things like “That’s not how you do it” and “that is not what we’re learning, can you even focus?” And my teacher kept pushing me down when I found my own solutions when I couldn’t understand what she was doing. At first it only made me feel a little down but as it became more relevant that I just was not good at match and would need to find my own path, I realized that I really couldn’t. I was backed into a corner where I could only do what the teacher wanted. It really harmed me and I still feel bad about it to this day. There were a few times where I would doodle on my paper, or something. But I have a really hard time focusing on ANYTHING. I mean talking, writing, typing, drawing, you name it. But when it comes to math, man. The teacher would say a few words and then I was in la la land. Off in my own world. And when I came back to reality, I had to do what the teacher and students had been doing. I had to find my own way. But as mentioned, I was pushed down and talked out of finding my own path and route to solving things. It real;y affected me, and I still hate math to this day.

The problem with public schools nowadays are that they are not educational institutions. It’s just a place to hold kids for parents, so they can do what they want such as to go to work. or even to go shopping, watch movies without the kids bothering them. Parents treat schools like they owe them and need to meet their every demand for their kid. Parents can pull their kids out of school during the school year to go on a vacation and drop them back off when they return like a hotel. Missed work is excused by the teacher, cause parents complain to the principal. Grades don’t matter, kids can fail 1st, 2nd, 3rd Qtr, and magically passed at end of year. Kids can pass their classes by doing one assignment the entire school year, because principals has a quota they need to meet of kids passing despite if kids learn anything. Parents don’t care if their kids learns anything, they are not held accountable to anything. Kids complain why they not learning and why school is useless. This is why. Academic standards are not upheld by the principal or parents. Sad and unfortunate. Maybe this is the American way. The way of why the American education system will collapse.

I had this kind of mindset when coming back from online classes, felt claustrophobic, I felt like if i got anything under a 7 I was basically fully fucked, even tho that was nowhere near the case, having the three top grades feel like the only ones you can get when quite a lot of tests have literally 5 questions about the most random stuff ever just stressed me out so much. a bit after I just stopped caring, figured since I never really had to try to get top grades why would I get worried about it? and yeah, mental health got so much better after that (still show up to school most days but always try to skip on thursdays where we learn basically nothing useful, to an even higher degree than normal school), now I occasionally get a 6 or lower on something like science, but me not getting into any trouble and the new testing system we get here basically makes that always go to at least passing grades (usually around 7,5/8's tho) since im pretty good at most subjects, school still feels like a tremendous waste of time tho, no reason we should sit still for 7 hours straight with 50 minute classes that can literally be cut down to under 10 minutes of a youtube video, with like, two hours of study learning the same thing as school teaches

[@chaoticgodly8833]

I am mostly self taught in the things I wanna do as a career, school is usless for what I wanna do and the only reason why I still have so much creativity is because I daydream in my own fantasy world and ignore homework to do arts and videos with so many ideas running through my head. If anything I noticed that everytime I do homework even if its one thing my creativity goes poof and i’m forcing myself to do the homework. I wish school would encourage creativity more, I live in a coubtry that has a pretty good education system but there is still little creativity and I find the classes that let my imagination go wild the most fun -Some random person that likes creative stuff

[@Dollapfin]

My current math teacher gives 0 homework and basically hands grades out but we still all learn it. If students gave a shit, teachers would stop giving grades for homework. We think alike though. I’m the lucky one none of my teachers really bother with homework. If you don’t have something done and it’s not an AP class, you can turn it in late. Actually AP classes are MUCH better because the teachers constantly stress to us that our GPAs don’t matter. We get C grades on average on our AP world tests because they’re HARD and we have to pass a very hard test at the end of the year. Same with AP language an ace is practically dumb luck. The teachers take care of you. Plus that 1.15 weight really helps. My classes are just very nice I love my teachers.

[@FireyDeath4]

I have probably the best idea for curricularly raising children properly. First, only teach them important things, and do it as early as possible. This includes arithmetic, language, social conduct, psychology, formal logic, critical thinking, research, essential tasks and how to learn. Make sure it's engaging and that they understand all of it and why it's important. Next, before you teach them anything else, show them the options. Demonstrate the uses and wonders of every discipline in every subject, and then let them make the choices as to whether they want to learn about it or not. They'll have to pick something if they want to do anything, but they won't be required to learn anything that they don't want to. If they've been raised on social conduct and critical thinking properly, they should know not to judge people as stupid or incapable because of their lack of knowledge in particular fields. Finally, make sure your classes are optimised to be as effective as possible. Make them quick, engaging, and a good kickstart to self-conducted research. Quite frankly, I think that all educational material should be open-source, and you should be able to learn about anything online whenever you want. So if you're going to make a class about something, do it well and make it worth attending. And use grades as tools to assist the learning process, not coercion. Maybe have different grades for performance and motivation.

Where do you pull these "facts"? as a finnish citizen I can say that all of these so called "facts" are bullcrap and the finnish school system is literally the same as america except barely an hour or two less school. Maybe the only difference is that the tests are a little easier in the first few years when you're a 1st grader but that's it?

[@fearthefro5045]

I agree that having self-motivated teachers that ooze passion for their respective curriculum is extremely helpful, and being flexible with how they educate is also unbelievably helpful. Aside from great teachers their’s the issue of under financed schools at lower income areas, this typically has correlation with wealth too and that’s problematic. In general I believe they’re some engaging topics that’d be beneficial for middle schoolers and high schoolers to learn of prior to college.

Basically they are trying to turn children into pathetic robots and slaves, also I think you should be the one to decide what your future is not a freaking grading system.

Honestly, after 8th or 9th grade, schools should teach more relevant skills and the students' interests. However all this stuff are things that i think should be changed, and could differ from your changes in mind In fact not really very specific interests, more like interest fields and spectrums

I am so grateful for what my parents did for my schooling. My whole life I never went to school and only did one little test every year. I pretty much just woke up, chilled, and went to bed. And once I turned 16 they put me in community college to get my GED. I've been going 3 days a week at most, 2 hours a day at most, starting at 10AM at the earliest for less than a year and I'm about half way through the whole thing.

Schools rely on people that don't know a thing on the subject to mark students assessments. If students write a different answer than what was on the answer guide they lose marks. Why is that? Because schools and school systems are very narrow minded to different ways of doing things. That is starting to change but only slightly.

[@eyvone]

I agree with this, very well made. The negative traits you stated fit my old school. I never got any staff support, and the teachers didn't teach well. The new school I am at now is very good. All the classes are 8 students only, since there are fewer students, the teachers can easily make connections with students, and provide support. Keep in mind, that learning disorders exist. The standard public schools (at least where I am) are usually just one curriculum, one box. Some kids do not fit into that box. If the teacher explains a concept over and over to a student, they won't just _get_ it. Learning disorders often go undiagnosed too, and the schools don't bother talking to the parents. I feel they only care about not getting fired. Everyone learns differently, and overcrowded schools, with underpaid teachers, can't support everyone. I believe that the standard public school system does work for some people, just not all. I also believe that teachers should be more interesting, and try to make concepts fun. My history teacher is the coolest dude ever, he makes everything fun, and he likes Naruto. I used to hate history because it seemed boring, but, I now enjoy listening to him talking about, well, history. I feel this is because I managed to make connections with the teachers. I enjoy the classes because I respect the teachers, and appreciate them. In conclusion, the standard school systems do fit some, but not all students, and the same goes for private schools. There is not one box for everyone or even two boxes. This was a very well-made video, with good points, and I agree with the points too. Thank you for reading my comment.

[@HelloThere-fp7hn]

Honestly, I think the main issue in school is that they don't make kids learn, they make them complete. A year or so after leaving(not completing) school, I realised, the stuff they taught me WAS important, the issue was that I wasn't trying to learn it. Instead, I was trying to complete the current task. Homework for example, it didn't cement knowledge into my brain, it stressed me into completing the task at hand.

[@tylerfish2701]

As someone who graduated OJR High School last year, this video hits home for me. I had the worst last year of school in my life. My teacher started off as a nice person, but at the start of 2021, she became this very demanding and inconsiderate person. She barely did anything to help anyone who needed it or didn't do anything to stop any student who was being disruptive. For example, one of them was quoting the Will Smith Chris Rock slap crap at the Oscars and what did she tell him? Nothing. She was right there on her desk, clearing hearing everything and she just let him do it. I asked them if they could please stop saying it and I got yelled at by her all because I just wanted to stop hearing that whole thing constantly. (Plus, it didn't help that the teacher thinks Will deserved his Oscar win. I'm not joking). One time, I was even accused of making fun of someone even though all I was focusing on was drawing and that's it. I told her I didn't, but she just kept saying they saw me do it when I wasn't looking at their face at all. The student even started laughing about the terrible experience I was under with another student and while she got yelled by the teacher, she didn't even think, not once at all, that her laughing was a dead giveaway that she really was framing me for something I didn't do. It didn't help that the student played innocent after getting yelled at that she didn't make it up, but she clearly did. Another time was when we were reading the book, Holes, and some of the students were reading pages that we already read and she didn't correct any of them for the whole year UNTIL the last month of school. I even tried helping one student read the page they were supposed to be reading and they actually started reading the right page, but the teacher just shouted at me, told me to stop doing it, accused me of confusing them and she forced them to read the wrong page AGAIN. I wanted to just lunge at her and go full on Ralphie vs Scott Farkus in Christmas Story or Byron Hadley beating up Boggs in The Shawshank Redemption on her miserable butt, but even then, I knew it would make the pain I had to endure worse. The worst part of her was that she straight up wanted me to be a "leader" for my classmates in some way (because some of us were diagnosed with autism). I really didn't like the idea and refused the offer, but she couldn't take no for an answer and demanded that I be a "leader" anyway despite knowing that the position wasn't for me, so all I did was just nothing. Yeah, just doing nothing to act like a leader at all. I just wanted to be was just a simple, regular student who didn't want my disability to be some kind of guide to who I am and leave school with a sense of satisfaction, happiness and just a little hope that going to school was worth it in the end, but she couldn't give me that. On my graduation, she suggested my parents to make me wear "something nice" for the event, only to find out on that very day that all of the students were wearing normal clothes. I even called her out it and she tried to excuse it by just saying that she wanted me to look nice on graduation again and again and AGAIN! Not to mention also saying that she forgot to tell everyone the same thing. I'm sorry, but how the HECK do you forget something like this?! She clearly did it on purpose because she had this smug look on her face that tried to be all innocent like and all and I was just not buying it for a second. Graduation wasn't any better when she flat out lied to everyone that I was a leader to my class when really, I wasn't nor did I want to be one. All she did was gatekeeping. What a facist prick she was. All school year, she wasted my time and patience and her smug thought that I'll miss school is the most selfabsorbed thing I have ever heard when she clearly knew what she was doing to me and I'm so relieved that I now have a new job run by people who appreciate me for who I am, where I'm understood and where I can be me and that I never have to see or enter that hellhole ever again.
