Our education system sucks

Spring Break is over and we are already a week back into school. I actually really enjoyed myself during the holidays, which was unexpected as I was on a low for the last week of school. I was happy. I smiled I laughed and I genuinely had a good time. For awhile I believed that I could never go back to the old jolly me I was before the fifth year started. I proved myself wrong. I appreciated life. I felt loved, important, and enthusiastic again. I was looking forward to heading back to school and being happy doing my work and a happy learning environment.
After a few hours into the day the realisation hit me like a brick. School is what makes my life miserable! I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was exactly that made it so unbearable but as the week progressed I came to terms with reason - every aspect. Every aspect makes me hate it. It is hard to find one part of school that actually makes me happy. Don't get me wrong I like learning. Transition Year thought me that it's not learning that bothers me but more how we are learning, how we must learn. I understand it is not right to blame the teachers for the methods of teaching as they have no power to change it. They must teach the syllabus or they won't be paid.
I dont understand what exactly we gain from school you don't acc have to be an intellectual person to do well in school all you must have is a strong memory. The ability to store facts and vocabulary and regurgitate it onto paper when the time comes.
I dont think the department of education understands the capacity of a teenage brain, that for many it is physically impossible to withhold as much information that is required of us. Personally I feel that they literally drain any ounce of excitement out of learning but yet there is no way out of it.
It's a six year cycle of torment. We push ourselves to do well for our futures. The cycle of the world is very precise and controlled. You cannot rise to success without climbing the ladder society has set which enables us to achieve i.e 6 years of immense studying and constant examination in order for our future to be determined by a 3 digit number. If you have an ingenious plan of how to be successful in Ireland without going to school please share it with me.
Im not saying you can't be successful without going to school but your opportunities are very limited and only the rare few rise above the expected lesser class professions without attending school.
I think above all I could never allow myself to drop out based on the fact that you aren't reassured stability in the future for all I know I could become homeless and never get a job and there goes my dreams of a beautiful house and a happy lifestyle because it is true you cannot live without money. You must have a high level of maturity and aacceptance and be completely content within yourself to believe that you can live a carefree live without a stable salary. That frightens me. I really wish there were a way to enjoy education and to learn what you love and discover yourself while learning there is no doubt I see today's education system negatively. There is no doubt I detest school but I hope with all my heart that one day, maybe not for my generation but for another, it may be different, that school may be happy.
