#school ramble

Okay, so, I'm not religious, I don't really believe in any Gods, but I love seeing different cultures and traditions, and that also includes different religions!

We ised to have a class where we would talk partially about ethics and values (is that the English word for valeurs?) and other stuff related like our fundamental rights, and partially about different religions, their origins and their ways of doing things. Now, I have to admit, that class was kinda boring until last year, but I think that's not completely the class's fault, but also partially the teacher's fault (look, I love that teacher, but we learned about mainly one religion, Christianity and its branches). Our teacher last year really did a deep dive into each of the religions we talked about and it was genuinely super interesting. Anyways, long story short, this class got replaced.

Now, the class we have, which is basically a mix of like, politics, modern day history (as in, this century), a sprinkle of sex education, and some stuff about how the system works, the thing is, for most of these, we already have a class for it. Yeah sure, it completes what we learned and add important information, but we now mainly focus on our little part of the world.

Look, I don't mind nationalism (hopefully that's the English word), and teaching us more about our country, but I think that in a multicultural setting, it is still really important to learn about the other stuff from around the world! And I love learning about it! Cultures are beautiful! Religions are beautiful! And I will admit I am ignorant on a lot of things! But that's why I love learning about them!

uh off topic cuz I meant to write this last week.

I like my ela and history teacher. I mean, he’s technically a substitute so… I guess I can’t say teacher but he’s been in my class for most of the year.

and while he scares me, he’s also pretty cool. He’s put the kids in my class almost in their place? He’s told girls they can’t go to the bathroom because they went during math or something and (since he’s gone to med school and was a type of surgeon before) told them that they don’t need to go to the bathroom right that second.

after the assignment was done, he let them go one at a time. He can be pretty chill sometimes too.
