i highkey think school as it stands is child abuse.
i'm not a pedagogue or educator so i'm not versed on how to really articulate it, just had a constant feeling school was useless for learning, and felt like fucking prisons (and in retrospect i still think that's true).
school 100% stunted my potential big time and i still fucking hate it for doing this and more. free our youth.
I left school around 9th grade, did "homeschool" which amounted to basically just watching documentaries and smoking weed and now I'm one of the highest earners out of everyone I originally went to school with. From being that weird poor kid who always got bullied to being quite comfortable- life is fuckin' weird.
to be fair i learned more in life from weed and documentaries than i ever did from actual school. you are justified in doing great.
this image really resonated with me:
it's from futurama btw, great show, i'm just re-watching it :D
This image inflicted mental damage on me :’(
Futurama really can tug the heartstrings.
School is just to prepare you for working in a capitalistic hellhole.
my country has been expanding the 48+ hour workweek instead of 40 for the last while, and sure enough schools are more and more starting to follow it.
My highschool used the same blueprints as the local prison, so.. yep that all tracks and they don’t even try to hide it.
I learned more math from Khan Academy. If I knew about it, I would have started Khan Academy as soon as it existed (and bitcoin mining)
