You might think that creating a life skills employment centered curriculum would encourage cooperation but teachers would still be dealing with the endless barrage of **** yous and disruption and idiotic dip ****s starting **** with other students simply because they’re useless dysfunctional ****s.

Here’s how it would go.

What do you want to learn?

I want to be a mechanic.

Two weeks later it turns out learning to be a mechanic takes effort. 15 year old pours sugar in the gas tank and tells the teacher to suck a dick. Don’t believe it? Try it.
Prepping people to be functioning members of society is a good trade for a teacher having to deal with being told to suck a dick. You're not missing the forest for the trees, you're missing it for the leaves.
