My Stupid Chinese Class

I just had to do the dumbest Chinese homework.

Well, actually, Chinese homework is pretty much stupid ... typical.

I don't think most of these exercises are very effective in teaching anything at all. It's all just busy work.

If we want to practice reading and writing, it'd be more effective to read some newspapers, discuss it in Chinese, then write something about some articles. Also translating articles from English to Chinese and vise versa would be good.

Instead of buying an expensive book that teaches things that even a 12-year-old would know how to do.

There is no structure in class -- only a syllabus that we don't follow, at most.
I am frick'n learning NOTHING in this class, and I'm sick of it.

I'm also sick of school. I want to just drop everything and volunteer or something. I'm young. I can do that. I can even learn something and be inspired -- ah ha!

Definitely something to consider.
