School -> why do we need it?
no, i'm not a disgruntled person who has particularly suffered in school, so don't think this thread is totally bs.
i'm serious - what's so good about school? i dont understand why there is such a culture which glorifies school as this necessary path to determine one's future.
sure, you CAN learn stuff... but the stuff you learn aren't actually all that useful. And teachers aren't really that smart (at least not in 50%+ of schools). Seriously, i used to have a math teacher who dropped math in high school.
recently i graduated. i've "learned" a lot... most of which don't enhance my perception of things, are politically motivated, and can be more concisely and broadly explored through the internet or self-learning etc.
what do you guys think?
