School Stuff 3

Day by day I'm getting discourage to actually try to get good grades.

 I believe that grades doesn't necessarily define your intelligence and today I couldn't agree more. In my past blog I mentioned that I have a classmate who relies on cheating. This girl relies on cheating so much that during exam when the girls and boys are separated, she actually cannot answer most of the exam because she relies on our male classmates for answer. Not to villainize her but there's no redeeming quality about her. She cheats and is racist too. Her entire personality revolves around trying to act cool so she could fit in with the boys but she clear tries too hard. Unfortunately, people here think being hateful towards a certain race is tuff.

Today, this same girl was praised by some of our teachers for getting good grades and being one of the top performing students in the school. I mentioned this before but I don't really dislike cheating. We ain't learning much that will useful in the real world and it's mostly about being good at memorizing. Fighting fire with fire ain't the solution but most students here just want to get it over with. The school system of my country is joke and this is an example of it's consequences. Anyway, back to the girl. She was praised, she was full of joy and the most annoying part, she even had the audacity to complain about there being no reward. Isn't being one of the top students a reward? Oh wait! your entire grade is from cheating hidden behind your stupid face so you don't understand the value of being an actual good student. 

I am not sure if you can tell but I am very much full of absolute HATRED right now. I have many reasons but let's sum it all up to "This is absurd and unfair" because it goes to show how easy it is to fool the system. This is also very unfair to those student who ACTUALLY try. One of my classmate who puts great effort into her academics, CRIED because somehow she didn't make it. Because of this my friend (who is also my classmate) is absolutely mad and sad. Come on, imagine putting effort into something and seeing someone who barely puts effort into that same thing get more recognition. 

Because of this, a part of me don't want t bother actually trying. Which sucks because I finally got the motivation to try. Now, I want to still try because I know if I actually tried I also could've made it but the first few months of school wasn't very kind to me. Another sad thing about this is a teacher actually knows this girl cheats and was very shocked that she's currently one of the top students. But from what I know the teacher can't do much. I believe the best the teacher could do currently is lower the girl's grade which is insane.
