You got it!
It pisses me off that teachers think that arts in
schools need to be
evaluated with exams
That's why a friend is only a musician, able to live from his music and
not a teacher anymore. He liked the kids, but not the body of teachers.
I'm not nearly gifted as that friend, but it seems to be too much gift
for half of the folks. Yep, the other half even would welcome an not
skilled idiot like me. I'm not a teacher!
When I was young I had a dream, all creative people would stop
contributing to the societies. Creative people should leave them alone.
I still remember the "joke" about the asshole. Anyway, it would be that
simple. Let all pretentious people alone, don't contribute creativity
and they would be lost.
We need compensation for the work to survive, to protect children, we
don't need anything that has to do with "my dick is longer than yours".
When I need a rest I stay overnight in a forest, yes, simply an escape.
When I was young I made music, also just an escape.
