People who want to enter the professional workspace or be able to properly communicate care Oscar. School isn’t about entertaining children or giving them what they “ give a fuck about” I’m not arguing it’s perfect it is heavily flawed
Lol
if you can't communicate properly in a professional workplace without english classes
you were fucked from the start
Just read a book
You’re not one to talk
lmao
I can write some nice memos
I wrote 20,000 word papers on the Yugoslav wars for my english classes
I still don't think English classes did anything
The 8 hour education system only exists because of the 8 hour work day and that only exists as an arbitrary agreement between laborers and capitalists so that they stopped striking
If you'd like a legitimate system that currently exists, Germany is far superior to the American education system because it stifles (to a degree) progressive credentialism
Look to me it should be about allowing for kids to specialise in their passion and letting the free market in education speak for itself.
I wasted hours of my life in government schools that I wish I could have back.
@Omniconsumerproducts private schools with 4 hour school days were graduating kids more qualified in every subject than public schools in the 1960s
That's illegal now
I can believe it, I was failing math in public school and was taken to private classes on weekends. Became one of the best in class within a few months.
Honestly I went to the good schools and felt 99% of my time was wasted
Well I went to the bad, ethnically diverse schools.
I went to that for one year
that was shit as well
Routinely got highest standardized test scores in my school then got C's for not turning in HW so I just totally gave up on the institution
All future schools will be online in VR anyway.
Public school just enforces mediocrity
yeah
Well honestly the only saving grace imo of public schools is free access to extracirriculars
hah I can sympathise with that, but nothing can be done until the government gets out of the way or starts slapping down some serious rules and enforcement on their institutions
If you didn't know teachers unions are blocking a republican backed bill that would allow for parents to get vouchers equivalent to the cost of sending their child to a public school
They'd be able to use this voucher to send their kid to private school, or fund home schooling
it's a fucking racket
add in that most home schooled kids aren't actually doing 8 hour days
yet receive higher scores
yea of course, any time someone risks having resources taken from them, they fight hard for them, regardless of the morality
they can say publicly how much they care for the kids, but reality is, everyone cares for themselves and families before friends and strangers.
Back in middle school I did homeschooling, I did eight hour days still but finished a year curriculum in 3 months
I think honestly if you destroy the teachers unions (socialist indoctrinators) and public schools (literally ran like a prison, espouse statism) society would be 1/2 way to fixing itself
@Griselda yeap
And got really good state test scores
It's the kid not the school
