i still fucking hate school to this day, and i’ve been finished with it for a while.
I love using children to boost my social media
Look around you, wherever you live, I bet most people are fairly happy. So if every day is dreadful to you, maybe you have depression.
Nope! My friend crashed out at me once because, according to him, I’m the only person that he sees smiling in public. In workplaces, not so much, there (almost) everyone is smiling, they make jokes all the time.
Learns fast.
Isn’t it sad that most people dislike(ed) or even hate(ed) school? Shouldn’t it be fun and exciting?
School can’t be fun and exciting all the time, otherwise kids would just have 8 hours of recess every day. They still need to learn math, spelling, reading, and science, and despite it not always fun. Ideally there should be a balance that tries to maximizes both education and a child’s mental health.
The point of school (until collage) is to scare you away from further education with bullshit subjects and make you into a perfect wage slave.
That’s entirely not true
The second day of school is always worse than the first.
And then the third day is worse than the second.
This continues throughout your life until you die.
until you die
Only in America. In other places, you graduate or drop out before dying.
Is this a school shooting joke?
School shootings aren’t a joke, Jim!
Your username makes this suspicious
Until you get a job and it starts all over again
I was alluding to gun violence in American schools, but okay.
Nah siblings. Theres a hack: self-employment. Work for your goddamn selves. Get the money. Call no man boss.
It’s not always easy and it took me years to do it but I did it and… well I think I am pretty special tbh but there are LOTS of people who aren’t and theyre doing just fine. Many subcontractors are not geniuses. Nor do they have to be!
Fuck a job, get a trade.
I’ve been self employed. Not only was my boss a slave driver he’d jerk me off three times a day and fuck my wife
Ease up Rodney Dangerfield, this is a young audience
No respect, I tell ya
And it just gets progressively worse for the next 60 years.
It does not, what’s wrong with you all
Bad life rng, I think
For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But I’m lucky to have a job that pays well, that I don’t hate, with great colleagues.
the fuck, where are you guys sending kids back to school in mid august??
In Finland most schools started last week
lol in Italy children would die from heatstroke if we did that
Schools have turned in to daycare centers for working parents.

Yeah in the US seems to generally start mid August.
But recently I learned that in state of Tennessee they stay school mid July, so it is even crazier.

Pretty common where I am (mid-atlantic US). I think it’s a newer development, like in the past 20ish years. I’m not sure what the reason is, the semester isn’t any longer it just starts and ends earlier
And now with no future their suffering at school is extra pointless. No longer do they work towards securing their own future, they merely toil scholastically because of a societal machine that continues running despite long past surviving its own purpose.
You could learn for yourself, you know?
That is not what people go to school for. Schools actively discourage being an autodidact by insisting you learn what they tell you to learn.
Schools aren’t as bad as you make them seem here
They force you into a system of obedience and productivity. Subject you to petty tyrants (teachers) and peer bullies. And by default treat every student the same regardless of different neurology and personality, until they start causing ‘trouble’ at least.
Outside the early fundamentals of reading, writing, logic, and math, as well as being a beneficial vehicle to learn how to socialize with peers as mostly a side effect, school is romanticized beyond its actual positive social value. Its for babysitting while parents work and turning children into obedient worker drones, or at least identifying which ones will be obedient and which ones will end up under a bridge in adulthood.
It also serves even less purpose in terms of setting children up for a career now however. Climate change, high tech surveillance fascism, and the clear aim to replace all workers (especially educated white collar ones) with AI systems render this more cynical “positive” of career trajectory as largely moot. Even if AI systems are worse than humans and the quality of services go down with their mass adoption, the price of AI systems compared to humans is so extreme that it hardly matters to the bean counters.
It would be better at this point, after they’re taught the basics/fundamentals, to let the kids have their own self directed fun because long term careers hardly matter anymore. You could have mentors, collected learning resources & tools, but the kids should come to them of their own desire (and they would). The only real restrictions being that they’re kept away from dopamine hijacking online content that largely damages long term focus.
School probably has the potential to be wholly beneficial, but in its current form it is a mixed bag at best.

Yeah it took me moment to realise this was a pre-existing meme.

No.
