thoughts on school?

[Isabel Xochitl]

i just finished a zine that talked in depth about my struggles with school, and it's been on my mind a lot lately. i don't hate school, but there are so many things i would rather be doing (like art!) that it often feels like a waste of time.
what are your thoughts on school? what is your school situation?
also if you have a zine that discusses school or want mine, drop me a line please :)

heeyyy
i am in year 11 at high school and i don't care about it. i only like it cause they let me use their photocopier, and i often dont go to school and chill by myself - and the main thing that i do with my time is work on my zine & find out about new bands, and read other zines. i wonder if this comes through in my zines???? my personality, i mean.

hello kitty magic. that's a good idea, i'm going to see if i can copy zines at school too. what kind of music do you like? you sound like an interesting person, maybe you would like to trade zines with me...?

I have to admit to being a bit of a geek - I've always enjoyed school. I love learning new things, however it does feel like a waste of time sometimes. There are a lot of other things that I would rather be doing but I know that i'm the kind of procrasinator who would never even get things that I enjoy done, so I guess its kind of good that I go to school.

nah i totally love learning abou new things, not maths n english though...

i agree, learning is hella fun. but they manage to make it so tedious!

Ugh. School. My problem with school is I don't really feel like a student because I am often out of school for long stretches of time because I have a chronic illness. So when I go it feels more like I am visiting than it is an actual part of my life.

[Isabel Xochitl]

what a predicament!
i used to feel like that because i was taking most of my classes through independent study, but i came to school daily for one class and to see my friends. people would come up to me in the hall and say "what are you doing here? i thought you left!" ...it wasn't funny after a while.
evil flower sounds nice, up for a trade?
