Ok first of all once you realize where the enemies don't go that bridge chapter is a bit easier
So my rage is now for naught
In other news, I hate CCW.
Just in case CCW isn't taught at America, it's basically a vague team for the study of, well... stuff in the community. Crime and punishment, the parliament, etcetera.
But why is it that we have to learn this? If we want to learn about a specific subject that isn't involved in other lessons, say, facts about law, the court and order, then it's easy enough to just study up in your own time. If we want to learn how we can help the community, we can look up posters, or adverts, or organize things ourselves. Basically, why force us to learn stuff which is already naturally either within our grasp of knowledge or potentially doable ourselves?
Our current topic is on choosing an issue in London (e.g knife crime, littering) and once we've done that we're supposed to fill a bunch of complicated shit on a random issue that we just picked ("for what reason do you want to stop this problem?" was one of the questions... we just chose the problem because we could! But no, that doesn't count as an answer), and then organize questionnaires, interview people in seats of power and send petitions to MPs. Okay, making us do questionnaires isn't THAT bad. We've done similar in ICT. But you want us to support this issue and perform tasks on higher levels such as making a request to MPs in the Parliament JUST for the sake of a community issue we randomly picked in a school lesson?
What is it that makes our government so intent on teaching us this stuff? We're forced to do it the second you enter high school all the way to SIXTH FORM (a mandatory long course for a minor subject in the sixth form, where we pick the subjects that will help us with our jobs and determine our lives?)... and just... WHY?
I may sound like I'm just being an unhelpful sod to the community by just not helping it out because I don't want to go through major shit just to solve a problem we picked in a minor school lesson, but seriously, helping the community is something we're perfectly capable of doing ourselves. We don't need schools to help us with that, and we certainly don't need them to shove it in our faces when we're already being pressurized into it by family, protestors and adverts all around us. Let us help out when it comes, not force us to do it in an unhelpful subject in our school.
(Also if you learn CCW and you think it has a good reason for existing, then reply to me on this matter, because I'm seriously curious as to why they want us to do this so badly)
