And it just gets progressively worse for the next 60 years.

It does not, what’s wrong with you all

Bad life rng, I think
For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But I’m lucky to have a job that pays well, that I don’t hate, with great colleagues.

Yeah in the US seems to generally start mid August.
But recently I learned that in state of Tennessee they stay school mid July, so it is even crazier.

lol in Italy children would die from heatstroke if we did that

Pretty common where I am (mid-atlantic US). I think it’s a newer development, like in the past 20ish years. I’m not sure what the reason is, the semester isn’t any longer it just starts and ends earlier

Isn’t it sad that most people dislike or even hate(ed) school? Shouldn’t it be fun and exciting?
Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
School can’t 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 child’s mental health.

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.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And now with no future their suffering at school is extra pointless. No longer do they work towards securing their own future, they merely toil scholastically because of a societal machine that continues running despite long past surviving its own purpose.

You could learn for yourself, you know?
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That is not what people go to school for. Schools actively discourage being an autodidact by insisting you learn what they tell you to learn.

Look around you, wherever you live, I bet most people are fairly happy. So if every day is dreadful to you, maybe you have depression.

Nope! My friend crashed out at me once because, according to him, I’m the only person that he sees smiling in public. In workplaces, not so much, there (almost) everyone is smiling, they make jokes all the time.

I’d say “only post them if they themselves want to be posted and delete on request”
Moms forcing kids into taking a picture, or even worse, stealthily picturing them and then sharing it all over WhatsApp groups or Facebook or whatever is terrible.

Fuck school. What a terrible institution. It doesn’t produce smart and capable adults. It doesn’t produce adults, period. It produces traumatized overgrown children with no sense of self-worth.
I say this as somebody who did well in school and overall liked going there and didn’t get bullied too much.
After school I had to slowly claw back ownership over my life.
School teaches you that you are one in a million. You are not deserving of special attention. The only way to success is to respect and appeal to authority. You don’t need to learn, you just need to pass. You do not have the ability to influence your social surroundings. You are only equal to your peers, you are below your teachers.
And we wonder why adults are assholes smh

The second day of school is always worse than the first.
And then the third day is worse than the second.
This continues throughout your life until you die.

Until you get a job and it starts all over again

Nah siblings. Theres a hack: self-employment. Work for your goddamn selves. Get the money. Call no man boss.
It’s not always easy and it took me years to do it but I did it and… well I think I am pretty special tbh but there are LOTS of people who aren’t and theyre doing just fine.
Fuck a job, get a trade.

I’ve been self employed. Not only was my boss a slave driver he’d jerk me off three times a day and fuck my wife
Allero@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
As a part self-employed, part regularly employed myself, it has its drawbacks.
You have little to no protections as a worker, and bear a lot of the risks. You may run out of orders or get sick and you’re the only person responsible for your safety net. Given that self-employment quite often pays less than regular one, this might be a big issue.
But on a bright side, there’s so much more freedom in this. You choose what to do, and unless you run a place or something, you choose when and sometimes even where you do it.
For me, I found a very welcoming space for self-employment, particularly research contracts. Projects take anything from 3 months to a few years, and you only have to check in once a few months to tell how it’s going and what’s next. I have full access to the laboratory resources I need, and half of the job is paperwork (compiling sources, devising methods, referencing against equipment, estimating bills, writing reports, writing articles for public projects, applying for new projects…) that can be done from home.
So, I can easily take a week off this part if I need time for personal projects, and can double down when I feel I can pull it off. This reduces mental strain dramatically, though requires some level of discipline. Pay is not overwhelming, but it keeps me afloat. So, overall, I’m happy with my choices.
