Friends!
People like to knock Christian schools, but they're describing school as "douchebags", "idiots" and "hell".
So knock all you want, but know that I know that u jelly. >

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Actually I might get a warning if I finish that. But yeah everything about school just brings out that one word emotion.

Uninspired?
Education is a good thing but it seems a monumental waste of time to be sitting in a class where you are bored out of your mind and learning nothing. Even the good classes and teachers have quite a few lessons like that.
We have a compulsory class at my school called ID where we do so much pointless stuff its not funny. We have done things like our environmental footprint and every couple of months we have to write out our 'School goals' and 'Non-School goals'. We have to say how we will achieve these goals, if we achieved our last ones and Why/Why not.
The worst bit is we don't even get to choose the goals. Every answer we get given options to copy and paste.
Every time I just do this because its the first lot of options: I am determined to get good/better marks in English. I will do this by studying/setting a study schedule. I did not achieve my last goal in English because I didn't study enough/didn't set a study schedule.

No. About the only thing it "educates" you or "teaches" you is what the state wishes to teach you. The truly intelligent do not need school, whatsoever - they can learn from sources outside of any institution.
OT: "Failure". As in, it's a complete failure. This Prussian model we've adopted and used needs to be eradicated completely. The sooner, the better.
Take for example these people:
George Carlin - I cannot sing enough praises about this man. Dropped out of school at 9th grade, became one of the greatest social critics and comedians on the planet.
Bill Hicks - Much like George, but dropped out of college 3 days in. IMO, best social critic outside of Lenny Bruce, extremely intelligent.
Steve Jobs - Also a college dropout. Dropped LSD in a wheat field, then dropped college, THEN dropped the iPhone on us. Hard to say he wasn't intelligent. Also, he never used a license plate on his vehicle thnaks to his study of California motor vehicle laws.
Benjamin Franklin - Only two years of school, the rest was by reading. A lot. As in, a metric fuck ton. Here's his Wiki page for all of his exploits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin Also, a fellow lefty, which I'm proud of.
Albert Einstein - In his instance, when he attended school, the educators there believed him to be doing things backwards! His list of accomplishments can also be found on Wikipedia; I shall leave it to the viewer to research it at their own convenience. Also another lefty!
Even brainwashing is a form of education, so how are any of us wrong? I am assuming you learned to write when you went to school, thus you're able to write brilliant posts in forums being cool because you're against the government. It's fun to see a living stereotype sometimes.CrazyCapnMorgan said:
"Education"
As boing as that sound but that what I went to school for. Well learning is more appropriate but education sound more right.

Frustration.
Okay first off... Why do we (in the U.S.) get educated for 12 fucking years only to get out and be told "Alright, now if you want a job you can live off of you have to get into a shit ton of debt and go get another 4 years of schooling."? Isn't clear that something is very fucking wrong with it if you're not ready for societies jobs after 12 years of public schools?
Colleges were once places you went to because you wanted to be better educated, not because you needed it to fucking survive.
This is just my own sour grapes. I'm going to be 24 in December and I'm still wasting time on this shit, I hate it. I'm not learning anything I find useful anymore. I have one more semester and I'm just going through the motions and.... ;swghjl; I'm sick of it, I just want to get out in the world already, start a damn career. I'm like a horse in a stall at a racetrack, ready to run, but I have to wait for the damn thing to open. I'm chomping at the bit.
I swear I'd drop out if I wasn't already so close to being done with it.

Brainwash - to effect a radical change in the ideas and beliefs of (a person), esp by methods based on isolation, sleeplessness, hunger, extreme discomfort, pain, and the alternation of kindness and crueltyYopaz said:
Education - the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
Please enlighten me on how these things are similar. One is done by means/methods that are forced upon the individual by an outside source, while the other is done by the means/methods of the individual's desire. The key term in this argument is forced upon.
Furthermore, I am perplexed as to how the word "education" has become so synonymous with "school". There are many, many, MANY more individuals that I've listed whose words, insights and accomplishments have transcended time who've had little to no formal schooling.
And FYI, I was reading before I ever stepped foot inside of a school. Hell, the first few days I was reading to my classmates because I was the only one, outside of the teacher and her aide, that could read. Maybe it's because I'm left-handed, maybe it's because I was a quick learner, or maybe it's because my mother and father both read to me frequnetly when I was very young - even though both of them worked 40+ hours a week. Perhaps it's a combination of the three; who is to say with all certainty? I can tell you this with certainty, however: I did not require school to learn to read and write, I learned these things from my parents who *gasp* actually had decent parenting skills! (which, I guess in all honesty, does constitute a bit of luck on my part)
