School and Romanticism

Today, our school system severely limits a student’s ability to be romantic. Romanticism emphasized strong emotions, imagination, breaking free of systems and an appreciation of everyday life. At school, we take part in a strict schedule of 8 periods everyday where we attend the same classes at the same time every single day.

The long school day and homework also leaves little time after school for students to experience nature. Even stricter than the periods we attend everyday are the rules that we are forced to abide by in order to be deemed as successful.

Furthermore, in our classes we also follow strict schedules and complete assignments that rarely allow for much imagination at all. This shows how our school system holds us back from realizing our romantic potential.
