Boom 💥

Hell yeah! I never liked school. I was able to get good grades simply because I have intelligence, not because I received good support from the school system. I was never a good student. I disliked most of my teachers at school because they taught shit.

I hated all the bullies who had harmed me. I was picked up by these assholes, not because I was skinny or typically weak, but because I always spoke my truth and never had horde mentality.

I can't hang out with "good students" either because their brains were just fucked up by school system.

Teachers didn't like me, bullies didn't like me, good students didn't like me.

I was always a loner at schools, be it primary school, mid school or college. For a long time, I thought it's because I had problems and it's my fault.

Then after many years of adult life, I have formed many new friendships and I realized that it's not me with problems. It's the bullshit environment and their horde mentality.

But it did gave me lots of mental burden and it took me a long time to shake it off. I'm still shaking these bullshit off constantly, daily.

School was never about truth. It's always about doing weird shit to satisfy ineffective standards. Especially pre-higher education. Universities are slightly better.

"Striving for ‘universal education’ weakens education so much that it can no longer bestow any privileges or be worthy of any respect at all. The most universal education of all is barbarism, is it not?"

- Friedrich Nietzsche

100%!!! It doesn't improve at the university level either, even in a field like engineering. It's about making everyone conform so they can be more easily controlled.

Thankfully, I was able to do homeschooling for the second half of my public schooling years.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

Well said. Adults don’t know how to deal with bull 💩 how can a 7 year old?

Demand better or create better

You’re correct. School should teach real life lessons and how to be an active citizen instead of generalizing complicated topics.

Learning should be fun and not for a stupid test that provides little value.

I really want to homeschool, but i dont think its going to happen. Next best option is christian school.

Tbh smartest person i have ever met was homeschooled. He was crazy, ridiculously smart

Prison is a good comparison. This time of year, I jokingly congratulate kids on completing another year of their sentence.

Same for Christians who send their kids to evangelize. No, your kids are the ones getting evangelized.
