A School I Knew Well Long Ago...

My school is becoming so crappy. As if it was not crappy enough. We got rid of the good teachers, and keep bringing in new bad ones. And let's not even talk about the schedule. Oh wait let's.
The thought process for such a schedule is so incomprehensible. "Let's put all of the AP Classes in one block!" or "Let's make it impossible for kids to take classes they want!" I over exaggerate merely to make a point. And that point is the schedule is garbage. Pure and utter garbage. I can't take Front Range Community College classes, and I can't take the AP class I really wanted to take, US History. Instead I am forced into AP Language and Composition (God save me.) How this happened? No one knows...
Although I think AP Biology will be interesting.
Other than that I have no real classes it's PE and Choir, which makes me feel so empty and void of work. It's like I am slacking, but I don't want to. I really wanted to take german and US History, I don't really need a free hour. I just feel so damn lazy I hate it. I want those Three AP Classes!!! I guess I can't win, even when I am not even trying to lose. (That kind of makes sense in a fairly round about way.) I am still just so angry and worried.
Angry that I feel jipped out of a rigorous schedule that colleges will like.
Worried that I am going to fail all of my important classes all two of them.
Oh yeah I forgot about Trigonometry/Pre Calculus.
SHOOT ME.
There is no way I can pass that class, no way at all.
Calculus really serves no purpose in the not Math/Science world. I hate math. What is the point past basic algebra?
There is none. Except every school system in the world wants every student to be some sort of mathematician or scientist. And not even the cool kind of scientist, it's the lame kind like at NASA that uses Calculus.
Everyone I know and asked, who is a smart person, who took calculus says once they "learned" it, it was promptly forgotten for useful things. Like, I don't know, EVERYTHING ELSE!
But what is worse about math not serving any true purpose past algebra, is that teachers try to lie and tell you that it serves a purpose. They use sayings such as "Just in case you become a ______" (the blank indicates some sort of math related career, hard math, not like construction, or architecture that only involve geometry.. for the most part)
FYI teachers of the inglorious math, I have no plan, none what so ever to continue learning such putrid filth. In college, I am going to be some sort of Liberal Arts Major, Literature, Film, Cinema etc. Math (and by math I mean asymptotes, or inverted this or that, or some sort of Quadratic).
And by no means am I good at math. I am terrible at it. I never learned the multiplication table. Hell in 5 grade I was taught something that was like 3 grade math. So they lowered the standards at the most important part of learning math, and when I reached 6 grade all of a sudden the bars were raised sky high. Or so it felt. So I have struggled with math for about four or five years now, I can still barely do algebra. (Oh not to mention I had one good math teacher for only one Semester in my entire school career, not joking). And it seems like everyone I know, or am friends with are so much better at math than I am. They get it automatically, and I struggle after countless re-learnings.
I guess I am not meant to be a math person (thank God.)
Wow that was a long and crazy Math rant.
I have plenty more about school. I hate it so much.
I quit.
