Others have had some good input, but you might be a big part of the problem. I've taught for over a decade and a half and I'm no apologist for any education system however... let's consider what evidence we have:
Teachers, headmasters, fellow pupils what is wrong between me and the school system? Twice kicked out of lessons for saying that The Smiths are better than ABBA and more previously Duran Duran.
Unless your educators are rabid fans of ABBA or D2, one might reasonably conclude that the reason you were disciplined might have been a repeated tendency to discuss matter not relevant to the topic of your lessons.
Ill treated constantly just because I express a different opinion to the majority and always talked down.
It may not be your differing opinions but rather how and with whom you wish to debate them. I'm trying to envision a conversation between two of my students in which one asserts the superiority of ABBA over the Smiths. Evidently you are choosing to argue with morons. You will not win an opinion-spouting match with a moron which makes
you appear... well... Teachers get annoyed when stupid people bicker over stupid things. This is not say you
are dumb, but be selective in your choice of verbal sparring partners - regardless of your good intentions - lest you appear as dull as them.
Listen carefully to yourself here:
A perfect example is my summer exam results; I tell a teacher that within results a D came up and also I grabbed an A* and immediately I am interrogated about why I got a D, and not at all congratulated upon A*. Meanwhile two of my French classmates gained places in the top 5 in the country for their results and school goes mental with apparent pride. Pulling the wool over the pupils eyes, they are not happy for the two kids just pleased because they own those two and can boast to the nation.
On the one hand, you are proud of your A, and angry that it was not acknowledged by others and in the same sentence, ridicule those who exhibit pride in others' grades. Sounds to me as though the education system at your school is very successful for some students (yourself included on the A exam). It also sounds like someone is a bit bitter over a poor mark.
This paragraph causes me some concern (and not just for its comma splicing, capitalization and proof-reading shortcomings):
So, two days ago I am asked in class to take part in the exercise that i sto write about our school for the open day. I took my chance. Whilst others feverishly scribble away the lies that have been driven into them over the past five years I tell the truth. It comes to quite a lot of writing in the end exploring the schools many problems and weaknesses. It is time that a different view is put across to the visitors and that they are not falling for the propaganda littering the school corridors is my excuse to the teacher who simply looks on in disguist at the truth.
So your school isn't so shit hot. The fact that you see yourself as the sole bearer of the truth suggests a few possibilities:
- psychosis: you are experiencing delusions of grandeur
- hyperbole: your propensity to exaggerate makes for a weak argument and consequentially a weak grade
- lack of discretion: your obvious desire to 'grind and axe' makes you sound abrasive or even offensive. How did you expect your teacher to respond?
- one-sidedness: you say you explored the many problems and weaknesses. Did you explore the strengths as well. The art of polemics and rhetoric are pretty much lost in today's education system. A good essay will always accentuate the positives to punctuate the negatives.
- you are sadly correct: your education system is grossly flawed and it has left you with the misinformed and erroneous view that you are capable of free thought and academic success. You haven't developed the wit to understand your incapacities and so you blame others out of ignorance.
Can anybody relate to me or to the sorry ways of schools, or am I just being very shallow in my general outlook?
Of course we can relate. All education systems are riddled with flaws. Educators are encouraged to seek them within our own practices; to look at our failures and learn. Many of us do critically evaluate our role in the system and society and try to genuinely improve our students as a result. Sadly some do not. And don't forget that many of us who chose teaching as a profession did so because we were displeased with our own experiences as students.
I don't know you and I'd be remiss to answer your final question without knowing more about you, but experience has indicated to me that when students feel as you do (and it does not happen infrequently) it is seldom just the student or the system that is at fault. As one of those teachers who enjoys the confidence of his students on such matters (I teach only theatre now), it is pretty rare that upon further investigation that the students doesn't realize that as well.
