I'm disgusted with my school

The very first assignment for this math class was to read pages and pages of garbage about cheating and how they're going to catch us, torture us, kick us out of school, ruin our lives, etc. as soon we start with our plans to cheat.

Then we had to take a test on this stuff, which I passed with a 100% but it really pissed me off because I don't like a business model that assumes that every single client is a liar, a thief and a cheat.

Now we have to do this incredibly inane and stupid writing assignment where we're supposed to "paraphrase" a chapter in our book and a pamphlet about voting in Ireland and compare and contrast. Of course we're also linked to about a gazillion more words about cheating, plagiarism, etc. and we have to turn in our papers to some sort of program that appears to be a search program that checks to make sure we didn't steal the paper or buy it online.

Once again it is very clear that the school, and our professor by extension, assumes we're all rotten to the core and planning to cheat. Oh thank goodness they will be able to thwart us and put a stop to our disgusting and foul plans.

Of course once we get out of school and into the working world (never mind that just about everyone in the class is already working and/or a parent) they won't be able to make us walk the straight and narrow path and we'll all immediately start cheating our way through our careers.

I don't think I'm going to do this assignment. It sounds too dangerous to me. It's a fine line between what they call plagiarism and what they call paraphrasing. I have too much brain damage and too much short term memory loss to try and walk that line. I'll take the zero.

Mind you I spent an entire week so far trying to write this thing so all that effort is down the drain.

Why in the world do we have to do writing assignments for a math class anyway? We didn't when I took this class four years ago.

EDITED TO ADD -

This paper appears to be impossible anyway. The teacher says:

Use the information that you found in that article to compare and contrast the voting system of the United States House of Representatives with the Irish Dail. Use the ideas that you have learned in chapters 1 and 2 to enhance your explanations of the differences and similarities.

The article she references is about the election system of the Dail, not the voting system, two totally different things. And three is nothing in our book about the voting system of the US House of Representatives (at least not in chapters one and two). Even if there were the voting system of one government can't really be compared to the election system of another. They're too disparate. It's like comparing chicken farming to cooking a chicken.
