			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This thread kind of depresses me but I&#039;m not in the least surprised. I barely completed high school because of issues like the above. Fortunately most of the time I had teachers that were a little out of the mold and were supportive of my individuality (at least outside of class). The last nail in the coffin for my belief in the educational system was when going from a B+ average in English I wrote a creative writing piece that was a little left of centre and got an F-, second last in the grade (the last kid didn&#039;t do it at all), got a warning on my marking sheet (&quot;Totally inappropriate, a copy of this has been put in your file for future reference!), and was made an example of during year assembly. In all fairness the story was a little risque however I then got copies of the 3 top ranking stories and found they were written in EXACTLY the same style - the &quot;I am Jack&#039;s [name a body part/object]&quot; style. Hooray for creative writing!!</p><p>That being said, I was a stand up comedian and writer for a couple of years and am now working on my first novel. Take that errrrr...whoever!</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>ShineOn - wow, what a creepy experience. Especially how she threatened to &quot;make things difficult&quot; for your grandchildren. Very unnerving. Just shows what happens if you try to fight against the system even just a little, doesn&#039;t it?</p><p>Ayahuasca - one of my parents lives in London, and the other lives in the South-West (near Devon!) so I&#039;ve had experience of living in both regions. Energetically, they&#039;re completely different. London has a vibrant, buzzing feel to it which is fun for a while, but I can&#039;t stand it for too long - I find it too stifling, too claustrophobic. The South-West has a far more relaxed, heavy energy which makes me sleepy, but like you said, there&#039;s a strong sense of freedom here. Anyway, I hope things work out for you if you go ahead and move to &quot;the Illuminati capital of the world&quot; <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Way to go ShineOn! I&#039;m sure your grand daughters will do just fine outside that pod program. <br />I second Lyra&#039;s comment about a lot of classics being extremely boring. I initially wanted to get into them but never felt drawn to their energy. I also liked the fact that you got a C without reading the book hehe.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for the inspiration, ShineOn.&nbsp; I love it that there are still 14 year-olds that can&#039;t be fooled by the system&#039;s programmed teachers.&nbsp; And thank you, Lyra for reminding me of all the C&#039;s and B&#039;s I got for book reports on books I never read.&nbsp; For some reason, I am sneakily proud of that, although I do love to read <em>really</em> good books.</p>]]></content>

I didn&#039;t know that. That&#039;s pretty f*cked up. It&#039;s weird that I keep reading about how bad the UK is getting, but here in Devon, where I&#039;ve now lived for 9 months, I&#039;ve never felt so free or seen so little surveillance in this country. I should probably stay here! However, due to mental illness (just kidding!) I&#039;m probably moving to London very soon!! I doubt it&#039;ll be for very long but it feels like a necessary thing for me to do right now. But I&#039;m sure it&#039;ll be fun living in the Illuminati capital of the world! Heh! Does anybody else here live in London?</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Good for you ShineOn.&nbsp; <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" />&nbsp; &nbsp;What you said wasn&#039;t even controversial, very tame in comparison to what you could have said.....so her reaction was amazing to say the least.&nbsp; Just the eensiest bit of &quot;breaking free from the status quo&quot; and your granddaughters got booted from the program and threatened???!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;WOW.&nbsp; It&#039;s worse than I thought.&nbsp; Who *are* these &quot;people&quot; anyway?&nbsp; &nbsp; I know others like to defend these types as just being &quot;highly programmed&quot;, leading them to get uncomfortable and defensive when their comfort zone is breached, but I don&#039;t buy it.&nbsp; There&#039;s something else going on here. </p><p>But at any rate, congrats to you.&nbsp; Oh, and regarding this:</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>ShineOn wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>I saw the books and authors involved and it&#039;s the same old list of the same old stuff. Funny how the list never changes. Toffler, Huxley and Arthur Miller to name a few.</p></blockquote></div><p>....so you noticed this too?&nbsp; <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" />&nbsp; &nbsp;So true.&nbsp; The so-called classics are boring to me.&nbsp; The same authors, the same books, taught the same way in every school nationwide, decade after decade.&nbsp; It&#039;s old and tired, and never mind that in my opinion, many of these books are dull dull dull, with a hefty dose of more dull tossed in and aren&#039;t even well written.&nbsp; Hemingway?&nbsp; &nbsp;Overrated.&nbsp; I&#039;ve met so-called nobody&#039;s who wrote better and more interesting than he did.&nbsp; &nbsp;Jane Austin and the Bronte sisters?&nbsp; Writing about stuff I don&#039;t care about and can&#039;t relate to.&nbsp; &nbsp;They wanted us to read &quot;Wuthering Heights&quot; in 10th grade English class in Connecticut.&nbsp; I refused.&nbsp; It was dull and I didn&#039;t care, and I&#039;m not doing it, period.&nbsp; I instead read my own books during class, then took the test on a book I never read and got a C.&nbsp; There were people who actually read the book and paid attention during those 2 weeks of the lesson, and took notes who only got a B- or a C, so ha, there you go.&nbsp; <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" />&nbsp; But I&#039;ve just never gotten why many of these &quot;classics&quot; are considered to be so.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;m ignorant, I don&#039;t know, but I&#039;ve heard from SOOO many people over the years that most books put them to sleep so I know it&#039;s not just me.&nbsp; These books aren&#039;t interesting and aren&#039;t always well written and it bothers me that they&#039;re held up as being so great. </p><p>Anyway.&nbsp; I&#039;m digressing, getting off onto a side tangent about what makes good writing (LIFE SPARK) and why most books seem to lack it.&nbsp; &nbsp;The real issue is the thought police, and what the implications are about so-called &quot;people&quot; who reacted the way that the woman did to you.&nbsp; So congrats again on standing your ground!</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to all for your kind words. The statement,&quot;I can make things difficult&quot; uttered that day was a little mind bending. It has eaten at me ever since. I do feel better since posting the story here yesterday. Last night at dinner one of the girls asked me if I&#039;d ever read the book &#039;Night&#039;.&quot;My friend Abby and her mom say it&#039;s the greatest book ever written!&quot;.&#039;Really&quot;, I said.&quot;Abby and her mom probably think that Schindler&#039;s List is the greatest movie ever made too, huh?&quot;...Astonished, she said,&quot;Yes, how did you know that?&quot;.&quot;Just a wild guess&quot;, I said. &quot;Now eat your vegetables!&quot;. That&#039;s enough mental rolfing for one week.</p>]]></content>
