Messed Up School System

Hi guys, I'm in school on a Saturday after finishing my Democracy meeting. Don't get my wrong. Me Accountancy major not Political Science major, I'm taking Democracy for elective (because I cannot find other good and slack elective).

Dear Gary booked a study room for me to study after the meeting today. But guess what, near the room there is this event going on and the tables in that study room was missing. No prices for guessing where it went to. Oh my goodness. It's always like that. It's so messed up. I was wondering, don't they have tables in those event rooms where they can use instead of using tables from the students' study rooms? So Gary has wasted 4 hrs of his booking quota for this. So champion........

Any way, the school administration is always like that. Take first put back later. But not so for our money. Funny thing is they take thousands and thousands from us a year, and then we get, messed up school network (everyone knows this), administrators who usually are unable to answer our questions (especially with regards to graduation questions), administrators who "pao toh" us for not turning up at designated events to deans (for them to deal with us), and (this is a classic) profs who told us we are products of the system.

The last point is pretty interesting. The long and short of it is, we pay to be products. Education is one WEIRD industry. The products of the education system are students. The paying customers of the products are also students. Don't make sense? Our school fees pay for our tuition fees, we pay miscellaneous fees for a load of stuff (to make us better "products") essentially we are more or less a "source of revenue" for the school, but we are treated not as "paying customers" but "products" that needs to be changed for the better of society. I can't believe i'm paying for this. So heartache. Thousands of dollars spend and we get "bullied" but administrators, and scolded by teachers and profs, pressured when we're not doing well (the recent debate on the dropping of low scoring subjects). And we spend all these money. for these. So interesting.

We benefit from the knowledge learnt. But we also get a lot of shit along the way. OH MAN. Life is just funny that way..........
