The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Some people are doubtlessly better off without school. Still I think the government should make sure that in general people are educated, but finding a balance between that and personal freedom and needs is complicated

School is not for you.

I always went, but I had a teacher who said that I skipped school mentally. Forcing kids to go is not that much use if you look at it that way: you can force them to go, but it's much harder to force them to participate

Get caught with half a joint put on probation/ school attendance and clean discipline gets written into it / a discipline referral is a violation / get locked up in juvie for getting written up for throwing spitballs and cussing in school while already on probation which is a violation/ get beaten up hard in juvie - then back into school with a ****ing ankle bracelet/ wander off to the river or beach / back to juvie / beaten up even sexually assaulted

Yes it is like that

You were lucky and white

your whole outcome in life being heavily determined by merits issued at 15, by public school teachers no less, kinda hilarious

The problem is that it’s ****ing compulsory

as adults they'd be less willing to accept a 9-5 job with a boss

but man as it is, it just seems a huge disadvantage to not educate everyone publicly because a lot of parents are garbage, I like that the gov exposes children to ideas outside of their parents beliefs

Whatever, Hillary
