Anger.

I'm starting to get really annoyed.

Here's the situation:
Music (AKA Band) is usually a full year course - given that learning an instrument is hard work and takes dedication as well as constant practice, i can understand why making the course full year is most beneficial. However, this year something changed. Band was changed into a semestered course. Because of this, there's been outrage amongst the music students.

Somebody decided to send a message to all the music students saying that we should go to the administration and start a riot. There were disagreements and thus started a really, extremely annoying string of msg comments/arguments and i've been receiving notification like no tomorrow.

First of all,
i too am angry at the course being semestered.
But really? a RIOT?
How old ARE you? Freaking 5?
That's like throwing a temper tantrum when you don't get what you want.
People claim that it's screwing over their career paths in life.
Uh hello? i'm trying to become a MUSIC TEACHER HERE. You don't exactly see me handing out burning torches and pitchforks now do you?

If you wanted to start a PETITION, then yes, i'm all for it.
But seriously. A Riot?
You can't justify violence no matter what you say.
It's inexcusable.
And what about our music teacher? he's more dedicated to his job than any other man i know. He loves music with a passion and i'm sure he tried all he could to change the administration's minds.
If you start a riot, that will only reflect badly on him and could potentially cost him his job.
Don't be selfish.
You want to get rid of the flex program that is screwing up the schedule? people NEED that program to survive. Some people aren't as intellectually advanced as others. They can only retain information for a short amount of time. This is their way to finally escape the road of automatic fail.

I can't say any of this out loud though. Because i know for a fact that if i say how i disagree, people will ask me for a better solution.

And the truth is i don't have one.

But i sure as hell know that the solution you're proposing will do more harm than good.

Another good reason why i hate humanity.
