I really dont get this school system. i find myself pulling shit out of my ass and handing in a paper of heartless writing more often then not. Pretty much 100% of what i submit is bullshit scattered on a piece of paper. its funny when the marks come back an i get a solid A for this crap. What are they teaching us? when i sit down and write something meaningful and true... I feel as if it doesnt fit the mould and this is verified when i get a shitty mark.
I wrote a cute artist statement along with a lovely photo and handed it in for my art class... got 100%
The next assignemt i took a picture of a powerplant that is near our school and spoke about its negative impact on the enviorment. my teacher wasnt for it at all....
The last assignment was about myself as a photographer. instead of saying how its an outlet for my creative side and i love to take photos to express my feelings and emotions, i told her that its the only way i can make decent money. I work as a freelance photographer. she failed it.
can we not speak the truth anymore? a picture of a couple holding hands is gold however, all of my attempts to bring up an issue or a true feeling/idea of mine just ends up with a poor response.
i assure you there is no deviation from quality of work, its the subject matter... if its really from myself... it doesnt fit.

tl;dr: bullshitting gets the marks, bitches be crazy
