    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.

      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.

    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.

          It is when you don’t go to the good schools, it depends almost entirely on your economic class. The better the area you live in, the better public schools tend to be or you’re more likely to be able to afford a private school where they actually educate you. My wife went to a super ghetto high school and they didn’t teach those kids shit except to shut up and do what your authority figures tell you to do, and pretty much everyone I’ve known from poorer areas had about the same experience. In America you’re not likely to get a real education unless you or your local taxes can pay for it.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    Fuck school. What a terrible institution. It doesn’t produce smart and capable adults. It doesn’t produce adults, period. It produces traumatized overgrown children with no sense of self-worth.

    I say this as somebody who did well in school and overall liked going there and didn’t get bullied too much.

    After school I had to slowly claw back ownership over my life.

    School teaches you that you are one in a million. You are not deserving of special attention. The only way to success is to respect and appeal to authority. You don’t need to learn, you just need to pass. You do not have the ability to influence your social surroundings. You are only equal to your peers, you are below your teachers.

    And we wonder why adults are assholes smh
