I agree with you, on some parts, mostly regarding the standardized testing but I feel like my educational experience hasn't been completely futile. Sure I was really stressed sometimes, but looking back on it now, I feel like I learned a lot. Not just in terms of academia, but learning how to hurdle obstacles to achieve my goals

I'm not saying that I am against education or anything like that I have gotten a lot out of mine and I plan on continuing. I'm just saying that our schooling is no longer for learning and growth but to capitulate us into the social system. I didnt mean to offend you. I'm going to college also. I'm just saying for MOST people school is just something you do to get a job and nothign more. I know that isnt the case for you and it isnt for me either
Oh, because areas in less developed countries that establish formal learning institutions totally want to capitulate kids into the social system, as oppose to, I don't know, letting them reap the benefits of learning? "What has school done for me?" -say that to students in the poorest region of the Philippines who don't have the luxury of knowledged teachers or books or computers or anything that you have had in school. If you honestly think school has done nothing for you, that's a shame

hahaha jeez youre taking what im saying completely wrong. no need to be hostile! I enjoy school im not saying its bad! I'm saying that for so many people its not to learn or grow its just to work their way up the social hierarchy our capitalist society has created. And I didnt say anything about people in other countries. I know people have ambitions to learn and grow (as do I) and thats a really good thing

I thought it was pretty obvious that you were speaking on behalf of society in general and I'm sure you'll agree that there are exceptions or if anything, just forgot to put in some qualification.
