You may have needed it, but I sure didn't.

I think you needed it more than you realize.

What do remember from grades 7-12? Is it anything you could not learn from one year online?

Yes. Those are the years of socializing and mild exposure to real world issues. Where you learn just because you wish your acne and fat would go away doesn't make it happen. Where you are supposed to start realizing the world isn't fair and someday you are going to have to feed and clothe and dress YOURSELF, without anyone carrying you.

School != Education

What schools teach are factory worker social norms. Line up, respond to bells, sit down, do your piece work, eat lunch quickly, listen to arbitrary authority, and don't go pee unless we give you permission.

We don't live in the socialist country you are describing, and a lot of us are fighting not to. I'm so sorry your snowflake ass has to follow rules in the publicly funded building the community is paying for so you can fucking read and write and get a job and give back to the community the way it tried to give to you. You're so unique and special. No kid ever whined about having to go to school. And no adult ever whined about having to go to work.

What is happening in our world where people have to do things they don't want to do to eat and have shelter? What a world! What a world!

No one gives two shits about you beyond what you are able to give back. No one. It's being human. Complaining about having a schedule and having to follow directions while you are a child instead of getting a job to help support your family is a privilege that children in other countries don't have, so stop acting like a spoiled little baby.

Also? You are the point. The people bringing down the class average tend to be the ones whining about how school sucks.

Bend over and kiss the ring, the king has built society to teach us how to treat each other! Hail the government! Hail school. Hail authority!
