alex_antoninSchool is such a waste of time. If I ever have kids, they're getting homeschooled cuz public schools can't teach anything at all.
And it's all because schools were designed to be places to educate the masses just enough to run the machines in factories during the industrial revolution, and be obedient little workers and slaves to the state. Except now we're reaping the consequences of that in the form of a government that, even under the Democrats, is just a fascism masquerading (badly) as a democracy. Also, the robots run the factories now, so we need to scrap that approach to education and thus the entire education system, and design something completely from scratch to meet the new needs of modern society. We need an education system that encourages creativity rather than actively destroying it; a system that encourages questioning and critical thinking.
Sadly, though, as long as our government continues to be Mussolini's Italy wearing plastic glasses frames with a glued on mustache, we're not going to get that education system we need. And at this rate, with the concentration camps being literally common knowledge and absolutely nothing at all is being done about it even under Biden, I think we have a better chance of spontaneously sprouting wings and flying to the moon than we have of pushing the masses into overthrowing our "fascism lite" government.
