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.

and yea....

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

schools are inconsequential tbqh
