this is hard.

naroowing down my questions is really hard. i have tons of questions that kinda relate. like the power strucures in school why do they have them like that? it is a fasict and it is not help ful for any one. like i would like to pick what to know and study. right now i'm trying to understand reanasuss artiture and fake wreastling like how do they sell that it is fake? and how is beign concerned with how these poeple do there job less important then learning about knights and knaves? or how to sale a computer boat? i think that a shilds own curiostys are really droped and some crap that they know the child doesnt care is put in place. why? does that really do any thing besides waste time? also my mother had insites to why the school year is made the way it is that it was based on farming with haveing november off and have summer off and coung back to school earlyer. also does the school know how much it is alentanting familys how it is creating problems that it hoped to solve or make better? if they dont know how dumb are they.another thing is that there is alot of over lapping like if i try to stick with how kids are broken down and have tere curiost for the world destoryed then comes why and how is the power structures and how the teachers are acting like bosses or factory mangers, then comes how the factory and how do they teach the kids and is it effective????

so im doing to try to show how school the way it is down in unnatrual and alienting becuase it is the most bord topic and i can really work with all the space in it. what im curious about is unschooling and the idea kids are natural learners. most classes iv'e been to the teachers hate the kids and say the kids dont want to learn and are lazy or some thing. and hwo they need to be paid mor becuase there dealing with a bunch of kids. any way how is it that a bynch of people preety much brand new in the world arent curious about it? i think they are not curious about what is being forced on them. unschooling the kids learn what they want and are probly mroe likely to learn some thing they dont want to because they have had a good time with learning over all. i had a friend who was unschooled and mayeb i could ask them question or have them come in for class. so ill try to focus on this has much as i can

hey eric

whats your gernal feeling of school ?
i used to like it it now im just like ehhhh not you know (thats good eric) wha ok

why did you like it?
a few you want one? ooh ok
well
1.) well i got to meet new poepel and be with poeple and know them ?
2) i would share stuff with them and feel like a was part of some thing like a(a trib) yeah thats it!
what do you feel about schooling can you you see your life with out it or better yet can imagain not haveing school?
i can imagin you guys teaching me. i mean i learnded more from you guys than at school.
what do you feel about the process of schooling?
it feels very superfiacal like hallow. even like teachers make cliches with students and if your not in one you are left astra and burried.




my mom.
so you went thorugh school was it worth it?
yes hmm yes.
why?
i learned. i wasnt learning any where else my mom had no edcuation so i couldn t learn any thing any where else.
are you fine with the systeam we have today?
no
but it did its job?
for me my own reason i had poeple who cared or me and offerd me alot and even the school seceratary helped me alot
now it seems that the teachers arent able to put time to teach,it seems that therye not getting the resorces they need even though where paying more taxs in to it. it is all most that the school systeam is coppurt. it is like a con a game a poilitacle systeam. it is not the students. it is about the testing it is ways to get funding there/. and parnets have to pay out of there pockets for assitdent teacher air condicnshing one year and ever year we pay for some thing. this is not a public school. the focus isnt on the childern but funding for adminashaters and super indentis. i think that times have changed and we havent changed the way school its sturcured there isnt any rrom for these kids. they times have changed kids arnt aloud to play and be phyiscal they dont let them be kids they have play in the street and instead they should have a real gym class and move and be in the sun. also they have the kids wake up way to early. in the old days when kids where farmers it made sense kids where up early to help the cows or what ever and went to school and got to school early so they can do there chores before dark. it was sent up for farming thats why summers where off. we dfo not leave in that socity any more! at least in urban schools or suburban hours should change to reflect there life styles maybe have 10 o clock so parnets can eat with there kids instead of this constant rush. kids leanr better later in the day.
both parnets work and it puts a burden on the family dynamics the parnets ffeel like crap. thats how they create latch key kids. and the public school should relize that the nulcear family has changed and the public school ed should change with it to support it and be apartner to support and help a family instead of burdening it and creating more problems. lets say kids who do extra cuirrcle activies some times they put them in times where poeple cant leave work it is like why? we leave in a time where parnets has to decide not get paid to atend a school event no one should be forced to make that dechsion and the school looks down at the parnets as thought he parnets doesnt care about the childs education when in fact the parnets is just trying to put food on the on the table and that is a real choice the parnets have to make. they have things in the morning 12 or 1 at jobs they dont GIVE a shit. they say if you go they say if you go im going to fire you or not pay you. and they dont take you seriuorly later on or some thing it effects you at work. making life harder for you and your child. it doesnt mean you dont care it means that you being forced to make a choice giveing the sircumstance you have to suppoert your family.
if they changed the hours to match what is going on in socity.
it would prepare kids for working too to havbe the kids at 9l. the younger it was worse. i had to take you and the amounte of pursure put on a family to acomadante an acrchic systeam.



well my mom really took alot there so im going to sythiese now. they where differnt in there experices in school like my brother learns more out side of school than in it and my mother is the oppiste. maybe it is the envormient that they are in that shapes if there curoius and if at home they get that curousty fed. my brother has our family and im always yelling at him new ideas i made up or new things i learned. my mothers home probly wasnt like that she did have 7 sisters and brothers and a single mommy who didnt have much if any education. hre oms job was cleaning offices she had a very strong spainsh acsent and was subjected to alot of racism. so ,maybe that why couldnt have her own curioust becuase she was so busy trying to keep the home a flot. like becuase of this it hindered her from her own curioust becuase she had no time to. also both of them do not like it. i talked to some one who has liked our systeam now and thought it shouldnt make any changes. if no one likes it why is it stuck like this? also both have notice some corpution in the class room and how the systeam is run as a whole. 9it seems that it has turnd more from education to being in control of money or groups i a class.

schooling

three of the most fascinating aspects about school?

that kids are youngst and have more engery that they will ever have in there lives are forced to sit down and do nothing

kevery one waits and no one likes it also know one learns any thing that they remember. they even make game shows on it like are you smarter than a 5th grader where poeple see if they know the meaningless crap that 5th graders know. like whats a conjuction.

is it made to break poeple?

why is it that home schoolers do better in school when they only have there own resorces and not a citys? whats better about home schooling then public or private schooling?

http://www.unschooling.com/index.shtml

if a 7 year old wants not to go to school why take them? what would they do if they dont go? want to go to the park play with toys with other kids?

what does school do? is it a day care becuase adults in this country work more than most others?

why do we consider poeple smart when they get high grade numbers when it is not about being smart?

so first off the bat i have to say i do not like schooling in this factory model. my expericeance hasn't been good.ive been held back , made fun of by students and teachers alike. what sums up school i think is waiting to wait so i can wait then hopelyfully die. this is not a pro life systeam where poeple feel fofilled and meaning full the most any one gets is some crappy number that somes up you whole existnace in that pariclur class. even in this isn't meauring any thing but poeple are all over it we are thought to be obessed with those numbers it is good to be when it is not. it is horrible to try to gain some expectance to some one who wont care about you and dont care even now. see most teachers this is job not there lives kids are thought this is you life thats it. why are they surpirsed when kids kill them sleves over school and why dont they do some thing about it??

movie project

what did i want poeple to walk away knowing after seeing my movie?
i wanted them to see that cool the same thing and from differnt times and even though it might look difffent it is filling out the same function.what changes is the time and what filles out that function of cool. usally it is the same thing just painted differnt either with black nationalism some thing else.

how was the process of it? how did you go about to do what you did?
well i teamed up with russe we made tons of movies before and he edits better than any one i know he consideres things i dont even think about and never would.he really helps with the tech things like how things sound and how a shot should be done.to get what ever point i want to get across. also how i tend to make sceans is not to particalluar it is mostly improve. must a conpect charters and we work out the rest. i know in a beining of a scean what each charters want i tell the other actors and they improve it. the popeple i needed for this movie are always poepe who can think on there toes and do not need much dircetion just enough to get the scean going and they can run away with the charters. kareem and kevin did great at that also put in alot of ideas to the techinal and how scenaces should be shot. so this was like a very well aimed mess.

do you like art projects
i prefer them then any other kind of project i learn alot about my own ideas and other peoples. i have them challneged as well whcihc a paper cant do. also it is fun to play around and make funny thins on camera.also it is a freez frame of you and poeple around you in the time you are in a paper is just some essay you created a movie is those ideas plus your world and you can always add more like with the editing music or som thing else in to it. also i was thining it is alot more univerisal any one can watch an get it is and with the kind of points that are being made maybe it would be good for poeple to want to watch some thing so they may get and see a real exsample of it ( being what ever that idea may be. ) i think makeing movies is bettter then a paper i find more creativly challaning and alot more rewarding seeing the finshed project.

oh here it is.
