You're forced by the government to go to a place where you "learn" for roughly 18 years, and if you don't comply, they take you from your home, and put you in a government foster care, and indoctrinate you further. And what if you stay and "learn"? You learn how to follow rules blindly, you learn perversed history, you learn to never question your superiors. You learn socialism and "sharing is caring". What you don't learn is theology, religion, and how to work a job. Wouldn't you like to know how to work a job that gets you decent pay in Highschool unlike the local gas station, flipping burgers at the local McDonalds or even mopping a floor? I think you'd also like critical thinking, which again, they dont teach. What about the history that we are learning? isn't that helpful? Nah not really. Your missing out on the battle of thermoplye, how alexander the great kicked Xerxes sorry ass, then took over india, and egypt too. Then rome coming in and paving roads, and badabing badaboom jesus comes in and does stuff. Oh, and what about learning the pilgrimmage to america? How we massacered all the native american tribes to pillage the land of all natural resources? How we, the racist people of europe, just ruined a perfect and peaceful land of the tribal americas? Well it didn't go as Disney like to describe it. The tribes were killing eachother and the pilgrims thought: "enemy of my enemy is my friend" And we supplied the tribes with guns to kill eachother with until they realized they were being bamboozled. Then the pilgrims destroyed what was left of them which was pretty small. And the reason we even fled europe was not to conquer it, but rather, to flee religious persecution. The kings were unhappy with the whole people translating the bible from greek to german thing. And even still, you can't pass an 8th grade exam in the 1890's. Google any 1890's 8th grade exam and tell me if you passed or not. TL;DR This system sucks. HARD. its communist too.
