yep education systems suck. it doesn't make sense to train students into becoming so paralysed by the fear of failure because in ACTUAL REAL LIFE you need to be able to deal with failure and even more important, realise that something was out of your control and couldn't have gone differently.

also the thing with grades is they never measure what they're supposed to measure.
and a person can ace one system and fail in the next.

my mom says the point of the system is that it's competitive. it's not meant to bring out the full potential in everyone. it's supposed to break you, not nurture you. cause the point of the system is to filter out and eliminate, that's why they all say 'rat race' or 'survival of the fittest' yada yada. i think she's right. and that sucks. i feel sorry for myself and everyone else
