Anela Pritchard's speech:
I'm a decently smart kid, with some decently good grades.
But sometimes I believe that, with the essays, worksheets and endless amount of study assigned to me each day, that teachers secretly hate me, rather than actually wanting to help me do better.
They most likely, if anything really, just do it for the pay check. I'm not saying all teachers do, but the majority of them appear to be that way.
I always think about how I do believe school is important, however I don't believe most of the stuff taught there is.
Do I honestly need to know what a= 1+rn to the 2nd power is, go over the Treaty of Waitangi every year since I was literally 5, or memorize the periodic table in order to get somewhere in life?

You did your homework, but didn't do one question because you found it difficult and you were struggling? Well, there's a unsatisfactory for homework on your mid term report! Now, that's just not OK.
What my point is, we all struggle, and work, and stress our selves over things that aren't important in the long run. Two years after High School, and the majority of the students who've graduated have already forgotten anything they've learned in the last four years of their school career.
Stressing myself over end of year exams, because if I fail, I have my parents on my back, asking me why I didn't try hard enough, my teacher telling me I could have focused harder in class and my peers simply telling me that I'm stupid? Ridiculous.
I honestly used to love going to school. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it made me happy to go to school, to meet friends, to learn things that I never knew.
But the minute High School starts, it's either you fly, or you fall. Now I strongly dislike it, and want nothing to do with it.
Some teachers are nice, there are a good few who are genuinely nice and want to help us but it seems that the teachers that are not willing to encourage and help me are all teachers of the subjects I'm not good at and it also happens to be that I don't enjoy
