but what also stresses me out is how they only want you to talk about ur trauma (as a black person or POC) when it suits them. I pitched a piece recently about how we shouldnât stop protesting about a-levels because we are still left with an education system that severely
harms the mental health of their students / riddled with problems and inequality & significantly harms black well being & how we should continue with this momentum- and most publications were like âthe alevel fiasco is over, sorry.â so when will we start caring about -
âthe alevel fiasco is over, sorry.â so when will we start caring about -
stories like this again? when another student takes their own life bc of the brutality of the education system here? when we have another blatant fiasco? why donât we care about the everyday suffering of young people/ marginalised people/ working class people?
why do we only care when thereâs a major story?
also like..all these issues are major stories ALL the time bc we live through this brutality EVERYDAY. so ofc to so many people the alevel fiasco is ââoverââ when in actuality for so many weâve hardly touched the surface of the problem. we r still left with a problematic system
this thread doesnât make any sense I know lol itâs just rambles from my head
