Filtration

This is how I see it:
The education system's like a giant filter, funnel style. It starts off big, broad, with space for everything.
Then it starts introducing testing and exams, and you're sharing a desk with a fucktard who you just want to slap in the face with a waffle, and people start getting left behind. Some are advancing closer to the small end of the funnel, some are staying where they are.
There are progressively more tests, more exams, more fucktards, and more people are left behind at the rear. A tiny little ridonculous percentage makes it through in to the beaker that's waiting on the other side. It takes years for the rest of the solution to catch up.
It's disgusting. Sick, even. And today, when I turned over the sheet with my results on it, I was suddenly faced with the concept of being left behind. Sure, I'm heading the right way, but what happens if I sprain a metaphorical ankle? And get left behind? It's hard to fantasise a whole new life for myself on this side of the funnel, when I always pictured myself through.

But I guess so long as I was poured in, I'm doing good.
