The point of school (until collage) is to scare you away from further education with bullshit subjects and make you into a perfect wage slave.

Isnât it sad that most people dislike or even hate(ed) school? Shouldnât it be fun and exciting?

Thatâs entirely not true

It is when you donât go to the good schools, it depends almost entirely on your economic class. The better the area you live in, the better public schools tend to be or youâre more likely to be able to afford a private school where they actually educate you. My wife went to a super ghetto high school and they didnât teach those kids shit except to shut up and do what your authority figures tell you to do, and pretty much everyone Iâve known from poorer areas had about the same experience. In America youâre not likely to get a real education unless you or your local taxes can pay for it.

School canât be fun and exciting all the time, otherwise kids would just have 8 hours of recess every day. They still need to learn math, spelling, reading, and science, and despite it not always fun. Ideally there should be a balance that tries to maximizes both education and a childâs mental health.
