School is for what now? (insert confused look)

I am just so ticked off that these damn students think they can come to school and chillax. Like I come to work to stand in front of the class and watch you sleep or chit chat. So being the inquisitive person that I am, I decided to get to the bottom of this foolishness (wow, havent used that in like forever).
I was on a quest. Operation who the hell do you think you are, if you will. I had the 9G first period. I came in ready to discuss just what the hell they think is suppoed to be going in during school hours and what their role as a student was. I was surprised with the responses to be honest.
Half the students were in class anyway, so the convo flowed pretty well. I asked what is school for and why are they here. And most of them replied that they are here to sleep and do what they want (how sad is it that I actually believe that they believe this). in their other classes they play cards, chew gum, talk, sleep, play on their phones etc. They said they didnt HAVE to do work and a lot of them dont. When asked what the repercussions of this was, they said nothing. The teachers yell at them and tell them to stop, but they continue anyway. One kid (damn smartass) actually tld me that I can sleep in class if I wanted to. I wanted to laugh so hard cuz it was just the funniest thing.
Not too farfetched tho. Mon and Tues I didnt have work and that only left Wed and Thurs. But many people were absent and/or preparing for the celebration so a lot of students were absent. Throw in the heat, regular 'i dont want to work' attitude of most of the students and the fact that not one student came with their textbooks, I decided to have free time in the classes for the 2 days. So yest. I was so damn bored in my own class I actually nodded off. There were like 5 girls in the class who didnt want to play any games or talk to me, so I just put my head down and did my thing......hahahahah im so horrible!
Its funny cuz Ive noticed that if I give the students free time, they dont do shit. I mean absolutely nothing. If I were them Id be bored as hell and might actually be compelled to ask for something to do.
So anyway, I also asked the students if anyone had a favorite subject. Of the 3 people who said yes, they answered gym and the other said geography. How sad is this?!?! One guy said that when I was in school he knows that I didnt like it. Quite the contrary.
I wasnt IN LOVE with school. I never woke up and said damn, cant wait to get there. But I also didnt come to school to play cards and talk shit all day. I had my days where I hated school and disliked teachers. But I liked getting good grades. I loved it actually. I like Japanese class. I like math up to a certain point. I like playing volleyball and basketball aftershcool. And if I didnt understand something, I actually went to tutoring or asked questions. I cared about school. It was my life. These kids, boy o boy. They just dont give a fuck! About anything. I really wonder what they expect to be in life. Seriously....I can picture a few bus drivers, cashiers, and vagabonds...VIVIDLY!!!
In the 10 class we had a similar convo, but it was a lil diff. Ill have to blog about that another time tho.

Well kids, hope you learned something today.....cuz my kids in school sure didnt!
