Wait, what?

Compulsory subjects really annoy me, mostly because I already know what they teach me so it’s a complete waste of time. On top of that, I would love to do Drama, Biology and Modern History in addition to my subjects, but I can’t, because the education system assumes I’m not intelligent enough to understand the mathematical concepts taught to me in grades 8 through 10, as well as to have an acceptable understanding of my first language, and the assumption by my school that I am not intelligent enough to think for myself about the slew of topics that it are acceptable to discuss with young adults, or to have ever read the bible ever or understand anything about any different cultures or world religions.
I feel that compulsory subjects first of all give the impression that an inhuman system devised decades ago knows students as people better than they do, and that they completely fucking restrict learning to a small and carefully chosen range of things. And I think it’s just a little bit fucked in the head that any schooling system or institution should be actively discouraging people to learn.
